AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Tamiami
A full bathroom remodel in Tamiami typically runs $10,620 – $33,040, with small baths landing between $5,900 and $14,160. The biggest driver isn’t the tile you pick. It’s what’s behind the tile in a pre-2002 CBS home, which most Tamiami houses are. Our crews work throughout Tamiami daily, from SW 8th Street down to the 137th Avenue corridor, and we build every quote around a written price and a written guarantee before demo starts. Call (936) 259-2607 to set up a free estimate.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Tamiami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Trevor Nash set the standard here years ago: put the price in writing before a single cabinet comes out, show up in the window we gave, and leave the job site cleaner than we found it. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s been running since 2004. Tamiami homeowners tell us the same stories about previous contractors: the verbal estimate that ballooned after demo, the crew that ghosted mid-project, the shower pan that leaked six weeks after “completion.”
Our process is built backward from that. Every Tamiami bathroom project starts with an inspection of what’s actually behind the walls, then a written scope of work with priced allowances. The number on day one is the number on the invoice unless you approve a change in writing. We stock common replacement parts and materials locally for Tamiami jobs, so shortages don’t stall a rough-in inspection. And every project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s not a verbal claim. It’s written into every contract.
One Day Bath Remodel in Tamiami
A One Day Bath Remodel in Tamiami is a same-day installation of a new acrylic or composite shower surround, pan, and fixtures over a prepped, code-approved substrate. It’s the right call when the tile is tired, the grout is failing, and you don’t want to live through a two-week tear-out. In Tamiami, where most homes are CBS block from the 1970s to 1990s, the hidden variable is almost always the waterproofing layer, or lack of one, behind the old tile. We won’t close a wall over a wet substrate because our permit inspection won’t let us.
What it actually covers
A One Day Bath Remodel in a Tamiami CBS home typically runs $5,310 – $14,160 depending on shower size, valve and fixture selections, and whether we need to repair or replace the sub-sill framing once the old unit is out. The one-day promise applies to the wall system and pan replacement once prep is complete. If we find rotted framing or a failed drain line when the old surround comes out, we price the repair as a written change order and get your approval before proceeding. You’ll never come home to an unapproved invoice.
When it’s not the right fit
If you’re moving the shower location, adding a second shower head, or converting a tub to a curbless walk-in, a One Day Bath Remodel won’t get you there. Those jobs involve plumbing relocations and floor elevation changes that require rough-in inspection sign-off before anything closes. We’ll tell you that during the estimate, not after demo day. The right scope is the right scope, even when it costs less than the wrong one.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Tamiami
Hiring a Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Tamiami means choosing someone who understands Miami-Dade’s post-Hurricane Andrew building code and what it triggers inside a 1988 CBS home. A full remodel here is rarely cosmetic. It’s structural, even when the homeowner doesn’t know it yet. The average full bath in Tamiami runs $10,620 – $33,040; the spread reflects what’s behind the walls, not what’s on the floor tile.
Full gut remodel
A full bathroom remodel in Tamiami starts with a permit, and the permit starts with an inspection of the rough-in once the walls are open. That means electrical, plumbing, and framing all have to be exposed, corrected, and signed off before we close anything. On pre-2002 builds, that sign-off frequently requires hurricane straps at roof-to-wall connections, GFCI circuits, and a proper waterproofing membrane that simply didn’t exist in the original construction. We price those as allowances in the contract, not as surprises on the invoice.
Walk-in shower conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions are the most requested bathroom job in Tamiami right now. A conversion runs $4,130 – $11,800 and usually takes four to seven working days once the permit is issued. The right shower pan, the right drain slope, and the right waterproofing matter more in Tamiami than most places. Our crews set a cement board substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile, on every wet wall, and we pressure-test the pan before a single tile goes up. No shortcuts. No verbal “it’ll be fine.”
Trusted Brands We Service in Tamiami
Where the product matters, we install materials from brands we can stand behind: Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for vanity tops. We don’t use builder-grade boxes that fail 18 months in and make our 365-Day Done Right Promise a liability. For Tamiami jobs where tile’s less of a priority than durability, we can also quote systems built around proven substrates and seal systems from names like Sakrete. We keep common replacement valves, pan liners, and trim kits locally sourced so a Tamiami rough-in inspection doesn’t stall waiting on a truck from Orlando.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Tamiami Homes
- Failed waterproofing behind 1970s – 90s tile. Most pre-2002 CBS homes in Tamiami were built without the membrane layer modern code requires. By the time you see cracked grout or a soft baseboard, the framing behind it is often already wicking water.
- Corroded or undersized wet-wall framing. In homes near SW 8th Street and 137th Avenue especially, we’ve pulled tile to find studs so far gone they crumble with a finger. That’s a structural fix before it’s a cosmetic one.
- Improper drain slope from prior “handyman” remodels. A shower that pools water for 20 minutes after use was sloped wrong. In Tamiami’s high water table, that standing water accelerates pan failure and framing rot.
- Unpermitted work hiding in plain sight. We see bathroom remodels done without permits, with electrical junctions hidden in walls and plumbing s-traps that violate Miami-Dade code. If you buy a Tamiami home and the bathroom looks “updated,” we’ll find out during the inspection.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Tamiami
Because pre-2002 CBS homes in Tamiami usually hide failed waterproofing, rotted framing, or unpermitted electrical work behind the tile. A permit-triggered rough-in inspection forces those issues into the scope. We handle that with written allowances and priced change orders, so the final number is agreed and signed before we proceed. Call (936) 259-2607 if you’re comparing quotes and want a realistic walkthrough of what your home’s age and condition will actually require.
Yes. Any remodel that modifies plumbing, electrical, or load-bearing framing in Tamiami requires a Miami-Dade County permit and rough-in inspection sign-off. Skipping it means unpermitted work that becomes a title issue when you sell, and it means no code inspection on work that could fail. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and don’t close a wall until it passes. That’s standard on every Penhallow Tamiami job.
Usually three things: termite or moisture-softened framing around the wet wall, no waterproofing membrane behind the tile, and undersized or improperly grounded electrical. On a 1988 CBS home near SW 8th Street and 137th Avenue, we opened a hall bath for a leaking shower pan and found all three. The job was under permit, so our rough-in had to pass inspection before we closed anything. We priced the new studs, pan liner, and drain as a written change order, got owner approval, and finished on the revised draw schedule with a punch list cleared in one walk-through. That’s how every Tamiami remodel runs here.
You get a written line-item price before any work starts. That number includes the base scope, the materials, and the labor. We also write in priced allowances for the likely unknowns, like rotted framing behind pre-2002 tile. If the unknown isn’t covered by an allowance, we write a change order and get your signature before touching anything. No surprises on the final invoice. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is included on every job, in writing. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate.
Yes, if the existing rough-in is sound and we’re replacing the surround, pan, and fixtures rather than relocating plumbing. If the walls behind the old unit are wet or rotted, the one-day clock stops until the framing repair passes inspection. We’ll tell you which situation you have during the estimate, not after the old unit is in the dumpster. The price for a One Day Bath Remodel in Tamiami runs $5,310 – $14,160 depending on what the prep uncovers.
