AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Country Walk
Bathroom remodeling in Country Walk typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full tear-out and rebuild, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. We work throughout Country Walk, from the neighborhoods off SW 145th Terrace up to the County Walk shopping corridor, and we know what these 1993 – 95 post-Andrew rebuilds look like behind the drywall. If you’re planning a remodel and want a written price before any demolition starts, call (936) 259-2607. You’ll talk to a real person, not a voicemail tree.
The big difference in Country Walk isn’t what you see. It’s what’s inside the walls. Concrete block and stucco homes rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew used transitional codes that predate the 2002 Florida Building Code overhaul. That means hidden strapping details, partial mortar fill in block cells, and original non-impact windows are all in play when we open up a wet wall. Our Bathroom Remodeling team scopes these before we quote, so your number doesn’t move on demo day.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Country Walk’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not the newest name on a yard sign in Country Walk. We’ve remodeled bathrooms in dozens of post-Andrew CBS homes here, including a hall bath off SW 145th Terrace that taught us exactly what can hide behind a 1994-era tub surround. The homeowners in Country Walk have a specific set of concerns – county permitting through DERM, original windows that fail wind mitigation, shower pans that sit on a flat limestone shelf with water pushing up from below – and we’ve learned to address all of them on the first visit. When you call us about a remodel in Country Walk, you’re talking to a team that’s opened up these exact walls before.
Every Penhallow technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You’ll know who’s walking through your door before they ring the bell. And every job comes with the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. In writing. On every project.

Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Country Walk
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Country Walk handles everything from the first drain line to the final towel bar. We pull rough-in permits through DERM and the county building department, run new supply lines, rebuild shower pans with bonded waterproof membranes, and coordinate tile, glass, and fixture installation. Homeowners in Country Walk typically call us for full teardowns when their original 1993 – 95 fixtures are failing, or when they’ve tried to live with a tired layout for years and are ready for a change. A complete bathroom remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on footprint, waterproofing scope, and finish level.
Permitting and Rough-In Work
Anything that moves a drain, adds a fixture, or touches structural block in Country Walk needs a county permit, not a city one. We handle the permitting and the inspections ourselves. The rough-in phase is where the real expertise shows, because a rushed 1993 rebuild may have block cells that were never fully mortar-filled around old valve bodies. We inspect that before we quote.
Waterproofing and Slab Work
The flat limestone shelf under Country Walk keeps the water table high. That means any floor-level drain relocation or shower pan tie-in needs extra waterproofing detail that a generic contractor might skip. We spec bonded membranes and seal every penetration through the slab. It costs a little more up front and it’s the difference between a shower that lasts twenty years and one that fails in five.
Walk In Shower in Country Walk
A Walk In Shower in Country Walk is the single most-requested upgrade we install, typically replacing an original fiberglass tub surround that’s stained, cracked, or just too cramped. The cost runs $4,500 to $12,000, and the big variable is what we find when we open the wall. On a 1994 CBS house off SW 145th Terrace, we converted a tub to a walk-in shower and found the block cells under the old valve only partially mortar-filled, plus a rusted lintel above the original non-impact window. We wrote a change order for a rust-neutralizing primer and a new lintel, ran the shower pan with a bonded waterproof membrane tied into the newly filled cells, and closed it out after county inspection sign-off. That’s the difference between a flat quote and an honest one.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion Considerations
If your Country Walk home was rebuilt in 1993 – 95, your tub-to-shower conversion exposes what the rushed post-Andrew crews left behind. Strap continuity gaps. Partial mortar fill. Original non-impact windows with corroded embedded lintels. None of that shows on a walkthrough, and all of it changes the real scope. We open the wall and look before we hand you a number.
Shower Pan and Drain Relocation
Because the water table sits high under Country Walk, moisture pushes back up through any unsealed penetration in your slab-on-grade. A shower pan or floor drain relocation that isn’t sealed correctly turns into a slow failure you won’t see for months. We bond the membrane, seal every penetration, and set the pan so it drains against the natural grade. It’s standard practice for us, not an upcharge.
Trusted Brands We Service in Country Walk
We’re experienced installers for the brands Country Walk homeowners actually spec: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry for vanities, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz for countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures for everything that moves water. We don’t push off-brand hardware. When you choose a fixture from a recognized trade brand, you get a manufacturer’s warranty layered on top of our 365-Day Done Right Promise. For larger structural or waterproofing materials, we lean on proven systems like Sakrete for slab repairs and bonded waterproofing membranes that handle South Florida humidity without breaking down. If you have a brand preference, tell us on the first call and we’ll spec the job around it.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Country Walk Homes
- Shower pan failures from high water table pressure. Country Walk’s flat limestone shelf and shallow water table push moisture back up through slab penetrations. If the original pan wasn’t sealed correctly, or if a drain was relocated without a bonded membrane, you’ll see efflorescence and tile popping within a few years.
- Hidden post-Andrew wall deficiencies. The 1993 – 94 rebuilds were done fast, sometimes by overwhelmed crews. We regularly find partial mortar fill in block cells, missing hurricane strap continuity, and valve bodies that were set without proper sealing. These are hidden scope items until the wall is open.
- Original non-impact windows failing wind mitigation. If your bathroom still has the original single-pane window from the rebuild, it’s a moisture intrusion point and a wind-mitigation inspection fail. Replacing it during a remodel adds cost but closes both problems at once.
- Corroded embedded lintels above window openings. The combination of humidity and salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on any ferrous metal in the block. Lintels above bathroom windows rust, bleed through the stucco, and need replacement or neutralization before you retile.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Country Walk, FL
Here’s what you can expect to pay for bathroom work in Country Walk. These are real ranges based on the homes we’ve remodeled here, not a generic national average:
| Service | Price Range |

A small hall bath that keeps its original footprint and just gets new tile, a vanity, and fixtures starts lower. Every quote from us is a written number you can hold us to.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Country Walk
Yes. Country Walk sits on unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so rough-in permits and all inspections run through DERM and the county building department, not a city office. We pull the permits ourselves and schedule the inspections. You never have to track down a county form on your own. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll walk you through the whole sequence.
Because the post-Andrew rebuilds were often rushed, and the walls hide what the original crews left behind: partial mortar fill in block cells, missing or discontinuous hurricane straps, and corroded lintels above original windows. If we don’t inspect first, we can’t see those. If we find them after opening the wall, a written change order covers the extra scope in plain terms before we proceed. That’s how we keep the number honest.
Yes. The flat limestone shelf and high water table mean moisture pushes back up through any unsealed penetration in the slab-on-grade. We bond the shower pan membrane, seal every drain and supply line penetration, and set the pan to drain correctly under those conditions. Skipping that step is what causes early pan failures in Country Walk homes. Call (936) 259-2607 if you want a contractor who addresses it the first time.
Yes. We’ll replace the original non-impact window with a current Miami-Dade NOA-approved impact window during the remodel. That fixes two problems at once: the moisture intrusion and the wind-mitigation inspection fail. It’s an added cost in the quote, but it’s the only way to close out the remodel without leaving a known failure point. We’ll give you a written line item before anything is ordered.
We spec KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry for vanities, Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone quartz for countertops, and Kohler or Moen for fixtures and trim. For structural and waterproofing work, we use bonded membranes rated for South Florida humidity and proven slab repair products like Sakrete. If you want a specific brand, tell us on the first call and we’ll spec the job around it. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate with the brands you actually want.
