Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Norland
If you live in Norland and your bathroom is starting to feel like a 1962 time capsule, you’re not alone. Most homes in the 33163 zip code were built between the late 1950s and early 1980s, and the bathrooms often still have the original tile, tub, and single-pane window that came with the house. A full bathroom remodel in Norland typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on the size of the space and what you’re changing. The good news is that a well-planned remodel here doesn’t just make the room look better. It also fixes the moisture problems and code violations that come with owning a concrete block home in Miami-Dade County. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the space with you before you spend a dime.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Norland’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and he’s kept it there ever since. This isn’t a franchise that sends a different crew every week. Tom and his sons are on-site for most of the work in Norland, and the crew members who show up carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts and their work. You can look up Tom’s license number before you sign anything. He publishes it on purpose.
We’ve been called into a lot of Norland homes after another contractor walked away mid-job or handed over a bill that didn’t match the phone quote. That’s why every Barrett & Sons Bathroom Remodeling contract includes a written scope of work, written allowances, and a written change order for any adjustment before a single nail moves. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is on the contract too. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
The permits and inspections thing matters more in Norland than it does almost anywhere else in the country, and we’ll get into why below. Short version: we pull permits on every eligible job and we like it when the inspector shows up. The inspector works for you, not for us. That’s the point.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Norland
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Norland usually means gutting the room down to the block walls, replacing the plumbing and electrical, and building it back with materials that can handle the humidity of a South Florida summer. We handle the whole thing, from design to final inspection. Homeowners in the 33163 area often tell us they want to stop fighting the room and just start over. That’s what this service is for.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
The most common request we get from Norland homeowners is replacing a cramped tub with a walk-in shower. Many of these older CBS homes have bathrooms that are tight, and a curbless shower with a frameless glass enclosure opens the room up without moving a wall. A walk-in shower installation in Norland typically lands between $4,500 and $12,000. We’ll give you a written line-item quote before anything starts.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
For homeowners who want the accessibility of a shower but don’t want to give up the tub entirely, a tub-to-shower conversion is often the right call. These conversions in Norland run $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the plumbing work involved and the tile you choose. We see a lot of original cast-iron tubs in this area that have worn enamel and slow drains, and swapping them out changes the whole feel of the room.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones of the bathroom are fine and the problem is just the vanity, the floor tile, and the fixtures. A new vanity installation in Norland runs $800 to $3,000. We carry name-brand materials you can look up yourself, and if you want something specific that we don’t stock, we’ll order it and show you the invoice. No mystery brands off the back of a van.

Trusted Brands We Service in Norland
We stock and install materials from brands like Cambridge Pavers and Techo-Bloc for our Driveway & Pavers in Norland, and we use Quikrete products for any leveling or shower pan work. We keep a local inventory of the parts and trim pieces that Norland homes tend to need, which means we’re not waiting on a shipment from Atlanta when you’re two weeks into a remodel. If a brand has a Miami-Dade Product Approval number, we know how to find it and document it for the permit. That last part catches a lot of out-of-county contractors off guard. It doesn’t catch us.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Norland Homes
- Moisture trapped in concrete block walls. Norland’s high water table and humid climate mean that bathroom walls can hold moisture from shower steam for years. We regularly find hidden mold behind old tile when we open up walls in these 1960s CBS homes, and the fix requires proper waterproofing, not just new grout.
- Single-pane jalousie or aluminum-frame windows that violate current code. Many original Norland bathroom windows don’t meet HVHZ impact requirements. When we remodel, we replace them with impact-rated windows and pull the permit, because the county inspector will check.
- Cast-iron plumbing at the end of its life. Homes built before 1980 in Norland often still have original cast-iron drain lines under the slab. A bathroom remodel is the right time to address this, because tearing out a new tile floor later costs twice as much.
- Tub surrounds that were never properly waterproofed. We see a lot of tile-over-drywall tub surrounds in older Norland homes that leak behind the wall. The fix is a proper cement board or foam backer board with a waterproof membrane. That’s standard on every Barrett & Sons bathroom job.
One more thing that’s specific to Norland: because this is an unincorporated Miami-Dade community, every permit and inspection goes through the county building department under High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules. That means the bathroom window you replace has to meet wind-resistance standards that most of the country has never heard of. We know how to navigate that process because we’ve done it hundreds of times in this exact area. If a contractor tells you permits are optional in Norland, walk away and call us instead.
