Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami
A bathroom remodel in Miami typically runs between $10,620 and $33,040, and in most cases the work can be scheduled without displacing your household for weeks on end. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Miami, and our crews work throughout the city every week, from the condominium corridors along Brickell to the 1950s concrete-block homes in Allapattah. We know what Miami construction demands because we deal with it daily: salt air, humidity, limestone, and building stock that ranges from hardened concrete to older CBS construction. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Miami, call (850) 988-7559 to schedule a free estimate. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, which is exactly how Trevor Nash runs every job.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Miami Is Miami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Our reputation in Miami is built on showing up when we say we will and standing behind the work for a full year. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is a written guarantee on every project: if something fails inside that window, we come back and fix it at no charge. No re-inspection fee. No service call. It’s simply part of the job. Miami homeowners who have been burned by contractors before tell us the written price matters just as much as the guarantee. You won’t get a verbal ballpark from us. You’ll get a number on paper before demolition starts, and that number doesn’t change once the job begins.
Every technician who walks into your home is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You’ll know exactly who is in your house, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. No voicemail maze. When a homeowner in Key Biscayne calls at 9 p.m. with a question about their shower pan, a real human picks up. That matters when you’ve already had one contractor disappear on you.
Trevor Nash leads the team here, and he’s built the operation around a simple standard: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, and leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s been the operating standard since 2004.

One Day Bath Remodel in Miami
A One Day Bath Remodel in Miami is our most requested service for homeowners who can’t afford to lose their only full bathroom for a week. In a single day, we remove the old tub or shower surround, install a custom-fit acrylic or composite surround, set the new pan, and reconnect the fixtures. We also replace the valve and trim, caulk every seam, and haul away all debris. The typical cost runs between $5,310 and $14,160 depending on wall condition and whether we’re repairing any hidden rot or corroded metal behind the old surround. Miami’s humidity means we’ll check for moisture intrusion before closing up any wall.
What Gets Replaced
We pull the old tub or shower base, the surround, and the valve. Then we check the substrate, which is the layer behind your tile or fiberglass. In older Miami homes, that substrate is often drywall with no waterproofing, and after years of shower steam against a poorly ventilated bathroom, it crumbles. We replace it with cement board and a waterproof membrane before installing the new surround.
When It Makes Sense
A one day remodel is right when your tub still holds water but the walls are cracked, stained, or leaking at the seams. It’s also a practical solution for a guest bath in a Brickell condo where board approval for a full gut remodel might take longer than you want to wait. You get a clean, code-compliant shower without a multi-week construction schedule.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Miami
A General Contractor in Miami has to handle two jobs at once: the visible remodel and the hidden repair work lurking inside the walls. Most of our full remodels start around $10,620 and can reach $33,040 when you’re moving plumbing, expanding a shower, or correcting water damage behind old tile. We coordinate every trade yourself so you don’t have to manage three different crews. That includes permits, plumbing, electrical, tile, glass, and the final inspection. Miami-Dade County’s permit requirements apply to most bathroom remodels that move a drain or open a wall, and we pull every permit before work begins.
Full Gut to Finish
We demo to the studs or the block, depending on what your home is built from. We replace the shower pan, waterproof the entire wet area, set new tile or a one-piece surround, install the vanity, mirror, lighting, and fixtures. You pick the materials. We install Delta, Toto, and Kohler products regularly, and we’ll tell you which finishes hold up in Miami’s salt-laced humidity better than others.
Structural Corrections
When we open a wall in a 1950s CBS home, we frequently find corroded rebar and hairline cracks in the concrete block. That’s a Miami-specific condition. Before we install your new shower, we’ll treat the rebar, patch the block with a compatible mortar, and apply an elastomeric membrane so the next remodel isn’t triggered by rust pushing through your tile.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We install and service fixtures from Delta, American Standard, Toto service in Miami, and Schluter. We stock common replacement parts for Miami customers, which means we can often fix a failing shower valve or a cracked trim kit without waiting on a distributor. Schluter’s waterproofing systems are particularly well-suited to Miami’s wet bathroom environment, and we pair Schluter membranes with Schluter-compatible shower pans and drains on most full remodels. When your old brand is discontinued, we’ll source an equivalent from our trade partners and confirm compatibility before ordering. That keeps your project moving instead of stalled on a backordered part.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Corroded anchors and loose grab bars. Cheap galvanized screws and drywall anchors rust within a few years in Miami’s humid, salty air. We replace them with stainless steel hardware and proper blocking so grab bars and vanities don’t sag or pull away from the wall.
- Efflorescence and cracked floor tile. Water wicks through unsealed grout joints into the concrete slab beneath. You’ll see a white, crusty mineral deposit along the grout lines and eventually hear a hollow thud under the tile. We seal the joints and often install a decoupling membrane before re-tiling.
- Hidden moisture behind the tile. Miami’s wet season pushes water vapor through concrete block walls. In older bathrooms without a vapor barrier, that moisture gets trapped behind the tile and rots the substrate or feeds mold. We correct the waterproofing before it becomes a structural repair.
- Corroded plumbing rough-ins. Copper and steel pipes embedded in concrete block without corrosion protection fail early. A pinhole leak you can’t see turns into a jackhammer repair when the wall starts weeping. We check the rough-in whenever we open a wall.

AfterPricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Miami, FL
Here’s what we quote for the most common bathroom projects in Miami. Every number is a written price, not a range we refine after demo day.
| Project | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $10,620 – $33,040 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $5,310 – $14,160 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $4,130 – $11,800 |
What moves the number up is usually what’s inside the walls, not the size of the room. Concrete block walls mean every plumbing change requires hammer drilling and repair. Hidden corrosion means structural remediation before we can set tile. Premium fixtures, frameless glass, and larger format porcelain also add to the bottom line. We’ll show you the full line-item price before any work begins. Call (850) 988-7559 for a free in-home estimate, and you’ll have a written number the same day we finish the walkthrough.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Miami
Because Miami’s construction reality forces us to build against moisture and corrosion that inland homes don’t face. Building materials cost more when they have to be rust-resistant, waterproofed, and installed into concrete block instead of wood framing. A bathroom remodel in Miami that requires hammer drilling into CBS walls, treating corroded rebar, installing a waterproof membrane, and using stainless steel anchors will naturally run higher than the same square footage in a wood-framed inland house. The cheap inland spec, which uses galvanized hardware and minimal waterproofing, fails inside a decade in Miami. The coastal-spec job costs more up front. The inland-spec job costs more by year ten. Call (850) 988-7559 and we’ll show you exactly what’s in your number.
Yes, in most cases. Any work that moves a drain, opens a wall, or changes the plumbing rough-in requires a permit from Miami-Dade County. We pull every permit ourselves and schedule the inspections. It’s not optional paperwork. A permitted remodel gives you a record that the work was done to code, which matters when you sell the house. Homeowners who skip permits discover the problem at resale, when an unpermitted bathroom renovation becomes a negotiating chip for buyers. We handle the whole permit process as part of the job.
That white powder is efflorescence, and it’s caused by moisture wicking up through your concrete slab. Miami sits on porous oolitic limestone, and groundwater rises through the slab when the bathroom doesn’t have a proper vapor barrier. The moisture carries dissolved salts to the surface, where they crystallize into that white crust. Over time, the moisture also degrades the thinset bond and your tile cracks. Our crew can remove the failed tile, install a vapor barrier and decoupling membrane, and re-tile the floor so the moisture stays in the slab where it belongs. Call (850) 988-7559 for an evaluation.
In most cases, yes, but the process involves more than swapping the tub for a pan. Condos in Brickell, Edgewater, and other Miami towers have building-specific plumbing access, drain line locations, and waterproofing requirements. We coordinate with your condo association to get the necessary approvals, and we confirm the drain size and slope before ordering materials. Some older buildings have cast-iron drain stacks that require careful connection work. A tub-to-shower conversion in an older Miami condo typically runs $4,130 to $11,800 depending on the building’s plumbing arrangement. Call (850) 988-7559 to have us look at the unit.
Humidity dictates that you avoid absorbent natural stone and unsealed grout in a Miami bathroom. Porcelain tile works better than marble or travertine in a high-moisture room because it doesn’t absorb water at nearly the same rate. We recommend epoxy or urethane grout instead of cementitious grout because they’re less porous and resist mold and staining. Unsealed cement grout will absorb moisture from the air and from every shower, and over a few years it’ll turn dark and crumbly. It’s a small material upgrade that extends the life of the whole floor. Call (850) 988-7559 and we’ll spec materials that match your bathroom’s ventilation and exposure.
