At Barrett & Sons Construction, we’ve been remodeling bathrooms in this unincorporated corner of Miami-Dade County since 1998, and we know exactly what the county’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules mean for your walls, your waterproofing, and your inspection schedule. When you want a quote that accounts for Ojus’s permit process from day one, call Tom Barrett’s team at (877) 610-1318.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Ojus’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons is the name on the truck, not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett and his sons run most of our Bathroom Remodeling crews themselves, and we answer our own phone 24 hours a day. If something goes wrong six weeks after the final inspection, we’re twenty minutes away, and Tom’s 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings him back.
Ojus homeowners have called us after a national company quoted one price on the phone and showed up with a different number at the door. We don’t work that way. Every allowance, every scope change, every material substitution gets written down as a change order before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we’re happy about that.
For Bathroom Remodeling in Ojus, that matters because this is unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The permitting queue runs through the county’s centralized Building Department, not a small city hall. We schedule inspections with the lead time the county actually requires instead of promising you a sanded, grouted shower in two weeks and watching the calendar slip. We’re local enough to know the queue.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Ojus
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
The 1950s-1970s CBS homes across Ojus are prime candidates for walk-in shower conversions. Many of these bathrooms still have the original cast-iron tub, and the wall behind it often hasn’t been opened since the home was built. When we open those walls along NE 26th Avenue or near the Greynolds Park corridor, we almost always find the same thing: concrete block that never got a secondary moisture barrier, sometimes spalling from forty years of South Florida humidity. We specify waterproofing systems that carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, and we won’t install a membrane the county inspector will red-tag.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Ojus runs $3,500 to $10,000 and is one of the smartest upgrades for an aging homeowner here. The threshold drop matters and the county code matters just as much. Once the tub comes out and the wall opens to the studs, Miami-Dade triggers HVHZ wall-anchorage and moisture-barrier requirements that a cheap quote from across the line in Aventura may never mention. We include those retrofits in the written scope before demolition, not as a surprise after.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Frameless glass looks clean in Ojus’s mid-century homes, but the glass has to be tempered, and the channel has to be sealed against the humidity these bathrooms hold between June and October. We’re careful about where the glass lands relative to the bathroom window because several Ojus homes still have their original jalousie windows, and we don’t want your new glass fighting a cross-breeze in a thunderstorm.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Ojus starts around $800 and runs to $3,000, depending on whether we’re setting a pre-fabricated cabinet or building something custom for a 1960s CBS floor plan that doesn’t always make sense to modern vanities. Ojus’s flat lots and older slab-on-grade construction mean we check the existing drain location before we order anything, because moving a drain line across a 1963 slab is not a small line item.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We install materials you can look up, and in bathrooms that means brands with Miami-Dade NOA listings on record. Schluter Kerdi and Laticrete waterproofing, Kohler and Moen fixtures, KraftMaid cabinetry where a vanity needs to match the kitchen. We don’t show up with mystery brands off a van. Longtime Ojus customers also see us on hardscape and paver work using Techo-Bloc and Belgard, but inside the bathroom, the brand that matters most is the waterproofing membrane the county inspector asks about first.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Spalling behind the tile. Decades of humidity move through concrete block walls and slowly break down the surface. On a 1963 flat-roof CBS home near NE 26th Avenue, our crew opened a 1970s tub surround and found the block spalling behind the tile with no secondary water barrier anywhere. We rebuilt the rough-in for a Kohler walk-in shower and specified a Schluter Kerdi system with an NOA, then scheduled framing and final inspections with a two-week lead time so the homeowner had documented sign-off before the walls closed.
- Non-NOA waterproofing that stalls the job. A shower pan or waterproofing membrane without a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance will get red-tagged at the rough-in inspection. The project stalls, the tile waits, and the homeowner pays for someone else’s shortcut.
- Permits pulled through the wrong city. Ojus is unincorporated, so a permit pulled through Aventura or North Miami Beach’s system gets stopped by the county once the address is checked. We see this a few times a year when a neighboring-city contractor assumes the zip code tells the whole story. It doesn’t.
- Quotes that skip HVHZ retrofits. Once a bathroom opens down to the studs, code triggers wall-anchorage and moisture-barrier requirements. A quote that doesn’t mention them is a surprise change order waiting for a date, and in Ojus that date usually falls right after demolition.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Ojus
Miami-Dade County sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest hurricane construction standard in the U.S., and the county won’t approve any building product for structural or moisture-critical use unless it has passed HVHZ testing and received a Notice of Acceptance. For a bathroom, that means shower pans, waterproofing membranes, and glass enclosures have to carry an NOA listing or the inspector will red-tag the rough-in. Across the line in incorporated Aventura, different product listings may be accepted, but Ojus has to follow the county’s book. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want to know whether the product another contractor quoted actually carries the right listing.
Yes, in most cases opening a bathroom wall down to the studs in an Ojus home means the county requires HVHZ wall-anchorage and secondary moisture-barrier retrofits before the walls close back up. That’s the code doing its job, not a contractor padding the bill. A compliant quote should show those retrofits as line items from the start, and we write every one of them into our scope before demolition begins.
You should plan for at least a two-week lead time on county inspections for an Ojus bathroom remodel, and sometimes longer during peak permitting months. The unincorporated county queue runs through Miami-Dade’s centralized Building Department, which is slower than the small city halls nearby. We build that lead time into our schedule and don’t promise a grouted shower on a date the county can’t inspect. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your street.
It can, but you should ask your insurance agent directly because premiums in Florida depend on the carrier, the policy type, and the property’s wind mitigation credits. What documented compliance gives you is proof: a written record that the waterproofing carried an NOA, the county signed off, and the work passed inspection. That documentation matters if you ever file a water-damage claim and the adjuster asks whether the remodel was permitted. We hand you the sign-offs, not promises.
It should include a written line item for the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance on every waterproofing product, a line item for HVHZ wall-anchorage and moisture-barrier retrofits where the demolition triggers them, a county permit fee calculated for the actual unincorporated address, and a realistic inspection schedule. At Barrett & Sons, every one of those items is in writing before the first nail moves. If another quote doesn’t show them, that’s not a cheaper job, it’s a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
