AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Sunny Isles Beach
A full bathroom remodel in Sunny Isles Beach typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on scope, finish level, and whether you’re inside a 1960s garden condo or a 50-story tower on Collins Avenue. Walk-in shower installations generally land between $4,500 and $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion usually falls in the $3,500 to $10,000 range. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote, not a ballpark guess.
What makes Sunny Isles Beach different from every other city we work in is the inspection pathway. Every bathroom remodel here triggers Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone review. That’s not a formality. It changes what products you can use, what fasteners go in the wall, and what the inspector checks before you can close anything up. We know that process because we live in it, and we’ll walk you through it before the first tile comes off.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunny Isles Beach’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re Tom Barrett and his sons. We’ve been running crews since 1998, and when you call, a live person answers, day or night. Not a call center. Not a voicemail box. We answer because if something goes sideways on a job, we want to know about it before you do.
In Sunny Isles Beach, we work almost entirely inside high-rise condos and the few remaining low-rise concrete buildings from the 1960s and 70s. That means HOA rules, tower water shutoff windows, freight elevator bookings, and the Miami-Dade HVHZ inspector who will absolutely check the fasteners in your shower wall. We know what those inspections require. We’ve been through enough of them to know what a compliant quote includes and what a cheap one leaves out.
Every job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. One call. That’s the whole promise. We carry premium brands like Schluter, Sterling, and Grohe, and we’ll show you where to find the product approvals before we order anything.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. The name on the truck is the name on the job. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. That’s what we tell every homeowner.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Sunny Isles Beach
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A gut renovation in a Sunny Isles Beach condo is different from a remodel in a single-family home. You’re working inside a building with concrete shear walls, floor-to-ceiling plumbing chases, and an HOA that has rules about waterproofing membranes, sound attenuation, and shutoff scheduling. We handle the full scope: demolition, rough-in, waterproofing, tile, glass, fixtures, and finish. Every allowance and every change order arrives in writing before the work starts. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Sunny Isles Beach runs $4,500 to $12,000. In a high-rise, the shower pan and surrounding wet-area walls have to meet the same wind-driven rain code as the building envelope. That means a bonded waterproofing system like Schluter-KERDI, stainless or epoxy-coated fasteners, and continuous load-path hardware the inspector can verify. We’ve opened walls in these towers and found drywall screws holding shower enclosures together, already rusted from the salt air. It’s not uncommon, and it’s exactly what the inspection is designed to catch.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Sunny Isles Beach typically costs $3,500 to $10,000. The price depends on whether we’re relocating the drain, what drain line size the tower originally ran, and whether the HOA’s waterproofing spec requires a specific membrane. Quoting this work without accounting for the building’s mandatory waterproofing membrane and the tower’s dew-athering requirements is how contractors get themselves into trouble. We account for it up front, in writing.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation ranges from $800 to $3,000. Tile and fixture work gets quoted by the square foot and by the fixture. In Sunny Isles Beach, we specify Grohe and Sterling fixtures that carry Miami-Dade product approvals. If the fixture doesn’t have a Notice of Acceptance, we don’t put it in. That saves you a failed inspection and a second trip from the plumber.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunny Isles Beach
We install Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling tub and shower units, and Grohe fixtures regularly in Sunny Isles Beach towers. These are products you can look up. Their approvals are on file with Miami-Dade. We don’t spec mystery brands off a van, because the inspector will ask for the paperwork and so should you. We keep local stock availability in mind for Sunny Isles Beach jobs so a missed delivery doesn’t hold up your remodel for two weeks.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sunny Isles Beach Homes
- Corroded fasteners inside wet-area walls. The island is only about 1,500 feet wide at its widest point. Every wall cavity is within direct salt-spray range of the Atlantic or the Intracoastal. Standard drywall screws and untreated steel anchors rust out within months, especially in shower enclosures. We use stainless or epoxy-coated hardware on every bathroom job here, and the HVHZ inspector checks for it.
- Frameless glass without an HVHZ impact stamp. Glass shower enclosures in high-rise condos have to carry Miami-Dade impact ratings. We see plenty of original glass installed without the stamp. It fails inspection. It has to come out and get replaced with rated glass before the wall can be closed. That’s a change order, in writing, every time.
- Stop-work orders on simple replacements. A homeowner or an unlicensed handyman swaps a shower valve inside a tower, and the building management or a city inspector flags it. Then the job stops while someone figures out whether the work meets HVHZ requirements. Permits pulled and inspections signed are not optional here. The permit inspector works for you, not for the contractor. That’s why we like him.
- Quotes that ignore HOA waterproofing specs. Most condo boards in Sunny Isles Beach have a written waterproofing standard for any bathroom work that opens a wet-area wall. A cheap quote skips that requirement. Then the HOA rejects the job mid-installation. Our scopes include the membrane, the fastener schedule, and the approval paperwork before we start.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Sunny Isles Beach, FL
Here’s what bathroom remodeling work costs in Sunny Isles Beach right now. These are the ranges we quote from, and they reflect the tower environment, the salt exposure, and the HVHZ inspection layer:
| Service | Typical Range in Sunny Isles Beach |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 - $10,000 |
What moves the number? Tower logistics (freight elevator time, water shutoff windows), HOA-required membrane systems, impact-rated glass, and whether we’re moving the drain line or working with the original rough-in. A documented, compliant quote costs more than a phone bid from someone who has never pulled a permit on Collins Avenue. But it’s the only quote that won’t turn into a surprise invoice. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with line items you can keep.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Sunny Isles Beach
Replacing a vanity and toilet in place, with no wall opening and no plumbing relocation, usually does not trigger an HVHZ inspection. The moment you open a wet-area wall, move a drain, touch a valve, or install new glass, the HVHZ pathway applies. In most Sunny Isles Beach towers, the HOA will require a permit and an inspection before you can close any wall. We’ll tell you whether your scope needs one before you sign anything. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through your specific unit.
Frameless glass shower enclosures inside Sunny Isles Beach high-rise condos must carry a Miami-Dade HVHZ product approval, which means the glass and the hardware have been tested for wind-driven rain and impact resistance at the building’s specified wind zone. Anything without that stamp fails inspection and has to be replaced. We’ve opened walls on the 56th floor of Porsche Design Tower to reroute a shower drain and found original glass with no impact rating at all. We filed a change order, installed rated glass, and waited for the Miami-Dade inspector to sign off before closing the wall. That’s how it has to go.
Because a tub-to-shower conversion opens the wet-area wall and changes the waterproofing plane. If the new membrane, fasteners, and glass don’t meet the building’s HVHZ specifications, the entire neighboring stack is exposed to water intrusion and wind-driven rain damage. Most HOAs in Sunny Isles Beach have written standards for this exact work. A contractor without HVHZ experience usually fails the inspection or gets rejected by the board mid-job. Request a written quote that names the membrane, the fastener schedule, and the product approvals. If a contractor can’t do that, walk away.
For most bathroom remodels inside an existing Sunny Isles Beach condo, you don’t need an architect or structural engineer. A licensed contractor can pull the permit, submit the product approvals, and coordinate the Miami-Dade HVHZ inspection. If the scope moves structural elements or changes a shear wall, an engineer gets involved. But replacing a tub with a shower, retiling, swapping fixtures, and installing rated glass rarely requires engineer drawings. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we hand you the signed inspection report when it’s done.
It doesn’t automatically lower your premium, but it protects your claim. If a shower leak or a failed glass panel causes damage later, the insurer will ask whether the work was permitted, inspected, and compliant with local building code. If the answer is no, the claim can be denied or reduced. In Sunny Isles Beach, every bathroom remodel triggers that HVHZ inspection trail. A signed inspection report is documentation, not decoration. We hand it to you at the end of every job. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want a scope that includes the paper trail.
