AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Westview
Bathroom remodeling in Westview typically runs from $9,000 to $28,000 for a full remodel, and most projects on the 33167 ZIP’s mid-century concrete block homes take two to four weeks once permits clear Miami-Dade County. The biggest cost variable isn’t tile or fixtures. It’s what we find when the walls come open on a house built before the 2002 Florida Building Code, because that triggers High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements most homeowners never see coming. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Westview, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from a crew that pulls permits through the county every week.
We know Westview because we work here. Not occasionally. The 1960s CBS homes off NW 7th Avenue, the slab-on-grade foundations with water tables sitting less than two feet down, the county inspection queue that runs differently than it does in Opa-locka or Pinewood. That local knowledge is the difference between a price that holds and a surprise invoice you never agreed to.
Key Takeaways
- Full bathroom remodels in Westview run $9,000-$28,000; a small bath remodel runs $5,000-$12,000.
- Every remodel that opens a wall triggers Miami-Dade HVHZ review, and materials without a Miami-Dade NOA will fail inspection.
- Pre-2002 CBS homes often have no waterproofing behind old tile and original cast-iron waste lines rotted at the slab.
- Barrett & Sons writes every change order on paper before work moves. No verbal approvals, no end-of-job surprises.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Westview’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing language. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published, and if you call the office, a live person answers. You’ll see the same faces from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.
In Westview specifically, we’ve seen what happens when out-of-area crews bid bathroom work without knowing the county’s product-approval system. They install a shower pan approved in Broward but lacking a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. The rough-in fails. The tile gets torn out. The homeowner eats the cost. We don’t let that happen, because we check NOA numbers before a single material lands on your driveway - unlike crews that only handle Fence Installation in Westview and lack remodeling experience.
Our Westview customers call us for one reason more than any other: the written change order. A contractor who quotes one price on the phone and hands you another at the door has already broken trust. Our allowance is the contract. If the scope changes, you approve it in writing first. That’s the Barrett & Sons way, and it’s been that way for over 29 years.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Westview
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Westview means opening walls on a home that was likely built between the late 1950s and early 1970s, before waterproofing membranes and HVHZ tie-downs were standard. We plan for that from the first walkthrough. Inspect the framing. Check the slab and our Driveway & Pavers in Westview if exterior work is part of your project. Confirm every material carries a Miami-Dade NOA before the permit is even submitted. Then we build it back with a written scope and allowances you signed before demo day.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Westview runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, glass, and what the existing slab tells us. On pre-2002 CBS homes, the original shower typically has no waterproofing behind the tile and no vapor barrier at the slab. We install Schluter Kerdi systems with valid Miami-Dade NOA numbers, add the required blocking, and schedule the county rough-in before we ever close a wall. Frameless glass enclosures are one of our most requested Westview finishes.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Westview runs $3,500 to $10,000, but here’s what most bids won’t tell you: the fixture change is the cheap part. The real cost is what opening that 1960s wall reveals. Notched studs. No blocking. Cast-iron waste lines corroded at the slab. We carry allowances for these findings in writing, so when the demo exposes them, you’re not blindsided. You approve a change order. Then we proceed.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Westview runs $800 to $3,000, and tile work is priced per square foot based on the material you choose and the substrate we have to build. On CBS homes, we often install cement board over the original block or gypsum, then waterproof before tile. Your fixtures come from brands you can look up. No mystery parts off a van. And every fixture rough-in gets inspected by Miami-Dade County before the finish goes on.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westview
We stock and install brands with Miami-Dade product approvals, so Westview homeowners never wait on a backordered part from an out-of-state supplier. For shower enclosures and Westview Windows & Doors, we work with proven names like Simonton, PGT, and CGI. These aren’t mystery brands. They carry real NOA numbers that pass county inspection the first time. When you’re replacing a bathroom window on an HVHZ home, the window brand matters, and we don’t cut corners there.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Westview Homes
- No waterproofing behind original tile. Pre-2002 CBS homes in the 33167 ZIP often have tile set directly on gypsum or block with no membrane at all. Once a wall is opened, that assembly has to be rebuilt to current code.
- Undersized or notched framing. Original 2×4 studs notched for plumbing with no blocking behind the surround. The wall flexes, tile cracks, and the rough-in fails until the framing is sistered to HVHZ tie-down standards.
- Rotted cast-iron waste lines at the slab. On a 1963 home near NW 7th Avenue, we pulled a cast-iron line that was corroded completely through where it met the slab. You can’t see that until the tub comes out.
- Shower pans without a Miami-Dade NOA. An out-of-area crew installs a pan approved in Broward. The Westview inspector checks the NOA database, fails the rough-in, and the whole tile assembly comes back out. This is a $3,000 to $6,000 mistake we see repeat itself.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Westview
The Miami-Dade inspector will verify three things: that every waterproofing membrane carries a valid Notice of Acceptance number, that framing meets current HVHZ tie-down and blocking requirements, and that the waste and vent lines are properly sized and sloped. On pre-2002 homes, they’ll also check for a vapor barrier behind any new wall assembly. If any material lacks a Miami-Dade NOA, the rough-in fails and the work stops. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk the exact scope with you before the first wall opens.
Because the original 1960s wall behind the tub was typically built without waterproofing and without blocking for a shower valve and grab bars. When we open that wall, we find notched studs, no sill plate protection, and sometimes a cast-iron waste line rotted at the slab. Bringing all of that up to Miami-Dade code, including the NOA-approved waterproofing system, adds real material and labor. That’s why our contract carries written allowances for exactly these findings, and we’ve never sprung one on a homeowner after demo. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your tub-to-shower conversion.
Westview has no municipal building department. Our Bathroom Remodeling team pulls permits directly through Miami-Dade County’s building department, which means the same HVHZ review pathway applies to every remodel, and the product-approval database checks every membrane, window, and anchor against Miami-Dade NOA numbers. A contractor used to working in incorporated cities like Opa-locka may not know that difference. We do.
Yes, keeping the original fixture locations reduces the scope of what the county reviews, but you won’t avoid the HVHZ waterproofing and framing requirements once a wall is open. The moment we expose original construction, the inspector is required to verify code compliance on what’s in front of them. What you can avoid is the cost and delay of moving a waste line through a slab with a water table 18 to 24 inches down. We’ll tell you when moving plumbing is worth it and when it isn’t. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and an honest read on your floor plan.
It means we don’t cut into the slab casually. Any change to below-grade plumbing has to account for groundwater intrusion and drainage, which adds cost and sometimes changes the shower base design. On a slab home, we’ll often recommend a curbless shower with a surface-applied waterproofing system that carries a Miami-Dade NOA, reducing how deep we have to chase into the concrete. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll measure your specific slab depth and water table condition before we recommend anything.
