AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across West Perrine
Bathroom remodeling in West Perrine typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut renovation, with tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Most jobs take two to five weeks depending on what we find behind the walls. If you’re weighing a remodel in West Perrine, call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett will walk you through what your specific home actually needs, not what a sales script says it needs.
We know West Perrine’s homes because we’ve worked on them for years. The concrete block ranches off 168th Street, the post-Andrew rebuilds along South Dixie Highway, the newer infill near Cutler Ridge. Each one tells a different story the moment we open a wall. Our Bathroom Remodeling team has seen enough of those stories to quote honestly and show up prepared.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Perrine’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. When you call about a remodel in West Perrine, you talk to a person who knows the neighborhood, not a call center reading from a screen. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look them up before you sign anything. We’d rather you did.
West Perrine homeowners have been burned before, usually by outfits that quoted one number on the phone and handed over a different bill at the door. We do things differently. Every allowance, every scope change, every material substitution arrives as a written change order before work moves forward. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
And when the job’s done, you get our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on the contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that’s not a voicemail box it’s a live person.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in West Perrine
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in West Perrine means opening walls, checking what’s behind them, and building back to current Miami-Dade code. On older CBS homes, that often includes addressing post-Andrew framing that was never meant to carry modern tile, glass enclosures, or wall-hung vanities. We plan for what we’ll likely find and price accordingly, instead of pretending the studs behind your 1960s bathroom are straight and square.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade in West Perrine right now. Homeowners want to age in place, and a zero-threshold or low-threshold shower beats stepping over a tub lip. On slab-on-grade homes, drainage slope is the make-or-break detail. We’ve installed hundreds in this neighborhood and know how to make them drain right without tearing up more concrete than necessary.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in West Perrine usually runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on valve work, waterproofing, and whether the old tub drain lines up or needs to be moved. On a 1950s CBS home off 168th Street, our crew started one of these and found the original subfloor had been sistered with scrap lumber after Andrew, leaving a 1¼-inch slope across the bathroom. We pulled the existing tub, shimmed and leveled the floor to within ⅛ inch, and reframed the wet wall to carry the new Kohler shower valve and a heavy frameless glass enclosure. Every product was listed with its Miami-Dade NOA number on the permit before inspection. That’s the difference between a quote that holds and one that explodes two weeks in.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities, tile, and fixtures from brands you can verify: Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling and Grohe fixtures, and tile from local distributors in south Miami-Dade. You’ll know exactly what’s going into your West Perrine bathroom before we order it, because it’s written in the scope. No mystery brands off a van.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Perrine
We stock and install Schluter waterproofing, Sterling and Grohe fixtures, and GAF roofing components when a bathroom vent ties into the roof assembly. That last part matters more in West Perrine than almost anywhere else in the country. When a bathroom exhaust fan vents through a flat or low-slope roof on a CBS home, the roof jack has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA number or the inspector will refuse sign-off. We know which products pass because we’ve been through the inspection gauntlet here more times than we can count.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in West Perrine, FL
Here’s what bathroom remodeling actually costs in West Perrine, based on the jobs we’ve completed in this neighborhood:
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000-$28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000-$12,000 |

Several factors move the number. Post-Andrew structural repairs discovered after demo, a shallow water table that complicates moving drains, and HVHZ product requirements all add line items. We scope these before we quote, not after. Every estimate is free, and every price change arrives in writing before work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact number on your bathroom.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in West Perrine Homes
- Post-Andrew structural surprises. Patchwork rebuilding in the mid-90s left many West Perrine bathrooms with uneven framing, improvised floor systems, and non-compliant retrofits. We find these when we open walls and fix them before tile and glass go in.
- HVHZ product requirements. Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules apply to bathroom exhaust vents, roof jacks, and any envelope penetration. A contractor who doesn’t list the Miami-Dade NOA number on the permit application will fail inspection and leave you with a tear-out.
- Shallow water table issues. West Perrine sits on low, flat ground above a very shallow water table. Moving a drain below grade without a dewatering plan floods the slab cut and stalls the job for weeks.
- Older plumbing rough-ins. 1950s and 1960s bathrooms often have rough-ins that don’t meet current code. A remodel that skips verifying this before drywall goes up is a re-rough-in waiting to happen.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in West Perrine
Miami-Dade County requires a Notice of Acceptance (NOA) number on every roofing, window, door, and cladding product installed in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that includes the roof jack where a bathroom exhaust fan vents through the roof. Without an NOA number listed on the permit application, the inspector will refuse sign-off and you’ll pay for a tear-out and replacement. We list the NOA number before we pull the permit. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you exactly how it works on your home.
Moving a concrete block wall in West Perrine adds $3,000 to $8,000 to a typical bathroom remodel, depending on whether it’s load-bearing and what’s running through it. Many post-Andrew CBS homes have walls that were never re-engineered after repairs, so we confirm load paths before we touch anything. This is written into your scope before we start, not discovered halfway through.
Yes, but it usually means recessing the shower pan into the slab or building up the bathroom floor to create drainage slope, which adds $1,500 to $4,000 to the project. West Perrine’s shallow water table means we check groundwater depth before cutting the slab, and we plan drainage accordingly. We’ve done this many times in this neighborhood and know how to keep the job moving.
We document it, show you photos, and issue a written change order before any fix work begins. West Perrine’s post-Andrew patchwork rebuilding means we expect some surprises, but you’ll never get a surprise invoice. The price change arrives on paper first. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want to talk through what we typically find in homes like yours.
Most of our bathroom remodels run on a four-part draw: deposit at contract signing, a draw at demo and rough-in completion, a draw at tile and finish installation, and the final payment after inspection passes and you’ve walked the room. We don’t front-load the schedule, and we don’t ask for final payment until the county inspector signs off.
