AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Country Club
A full bathroom remodel in Country Club typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the single biggest thing that moves that number is what’s hiding inside your wet wall. If you live in a CBS home built between 1988 and 2005 in Country Club, you’re almost certainly looking at code-triggered upgrades once we open the wall for a shower valve or drain relocation. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, led by Trevor Nash, and we’ve worked enough Country Club bathrooms to know exactly what the county inspector will require before the first tile comes off. Call (936) 259-2607 for a written, line-item price before any work starts.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Country Club’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Country Club homeowners call us because we answer the phone and we put numbers in writing. Not ranges. Not talk. A written price before any work starts, with a written 365-Day Done Right Promise behind it. Trevor Nash runs every job the way the Kingswell standard demands since 2004: say the price first, show up in the window we gave, leave the site cleaner than we found it.
We know the unincorporated Miami-Dade permitting path cold. When a Country Club bathroom remodel opens a wet wall, the permit application goes to the county, not a city hall, and every HVHZ-regulated component needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number listed line-by-line. Contractors from Broward or Palm Beach miss that step constantly. We don’t, because we live with it on every job here.
Crews arrive background-checked and in uniform. The person you meet at the door is the person doing the work. And if something fails inside the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge, no re-inspection fee, no service call. That’s in writing on every Country Club project.
One Day Bath Remodel in Country Club
A One Day Bath Remodel in Country Club is exactly what it sounds like: we replace the tub or shower, valve, surround, and trim in a single day, typically $3,500 to $10,000 depending on what the wet wall reveals. It’s the right call when your existing tub is cracked, the valve is leaking behind the wall, or you want a walk-in shower without living in a construction zone for two weeks. But in Country Club, “one day” depends on what the county permit triggers once we open that wall.
What the one-day process involves
We pull the permit through Miami-Dade County first. The application lists the NOA number for the new shower valve, drain assembly, and any HVHZ-regulated components in the wet wall. Demo starts only after the permit is approved. The old tub or shower comes out, the valve and drain go in, new waterproofing membrane goes up, and the surround and trim are set the same day.
When the wet wall changes the schedule
If we open a 1990s Country Club wet wall and find failed waterproofing or a sweating copper rough-in, the one-day job becomes a two-day job. That’s not a stall. That’s the county requiring what the county requires, and we’d rather do it right than guess. The difference is we tell you before it happens, with a written change order and your initials on it.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Country Club
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Country Club has to understand that every wet-wall opening pulls the whole assembly into county permit scope. We do, because we’ve run enough of these in the Country Club of Miami area to know the inspector’s checklist line by line. A full bathroom remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000, and that range exists because of what’s behind the tile, not because anyone’s guessing.
Full bathroom remodels, done in order
We inspect first. Before we quote demolition, we assess the framing, the copper, the waterproofing behind the existing tile, and whether the aluminum-frame window in the shower needs an NOA-numbered replacement. Then we write the price, including allowances for what we know we’ll find. Then we pull the county permit with every NOA number listed. Then we build. That order is what keeps the number on day one the same as the number on the invoice.
Written allowances instead of verbal surprises
An allowance is a specific dollar amount written into your contract for known unknowns. In a Country Club home from the late 1980s through early 2000s, the allowance will usually cover framing repair, secondary waterproofing, and copper rough-in replacement. If the allowance isn’t enough, we price the difference in writing and get your signature before we touch it. No arguing after demo. No price that moves without your say.
Trusted Brands We Service in Country Club
We install materials from recognized trade brands because the guarantee behind the work is only as strong as what’s under the tile. We work with Cambria and Silestone quartz for vanities and thresholds, Kohler and Moen fixtures with NOA-numbered valves that pass Miami-Dade review without a fight, and we keep common replacement parts stocked for Country Club customers so a failed cartridge or damaged surround doesn’t mean waiting on a distributor. Where the job calls for it, we also work with specialized manufacturers like Dvele and Cover for modular bath components that carry their own product warranties alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If we install it, we stand behind it. In writing.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Country Club Homes
- Failed waterproofing behind original tile. Homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s often have no secondary moisture barrier behind the shower tile. Once demo opens the wall, the county requires current code waterproofing, which is an upgrade most quotes never mentioned.
- Sweating copper and corroded rough-in valves. The high humidity of Country Club, sitting right against the Everglades buffer, accelerates corrosion on original copper. We routinely find pinhole leaks and frozen shut-off valves in wet walls that looked fine from the outside.
- Undersized framing in wet-wall assemblies. 2×4 framing, notched for original plumbing, often doesn’t meet current FBC 8th Edition HVHZ requirements for the new valve or grab-bar blocking. That means framing repair before the new tile goes up.
- Aluminum-frame shower windows with failed flashing. Pre-impact-glazing windows in wet areas are a common failure point in Country Club homes. When one is in the shower wall, the county requires an HVHZ-rated replacement with a Notice of Acceptance number before the wall can close.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Country Club, FL
Here are the numbers we write on Country Club contracts. These aren’t national averages; they’re what this market costs when the permit runs through Miami-Dade County and the wet wall in a 1988-2005 CBS home gets opened properly.
| Service | Price Range in Country Club |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 – $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 – $3,000 |
What moves the number includes whether the permit triggers a window replacement, how much framing repair the wet wall needs, and whether the vanity drain relocation hits rock. In Country Club, the water table sits 12 to 24 inches below grade over porous Miami Limestone, so a drain move that hits bedrock means jackhammering that most contractors never included in the allowance. We do. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free written estimate that spells out exactly what the county will require.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Country Club
Because Country Club is unincorporated, all permits run through Miami-Dade County, and any remodel that opens a wet wall for a new shower valve, vanity relocation, or drain replacement pulls the entire wet-wall assembly into permit scope. The county requires every HVHZ-regulated component in that scope, the valve, the drain, any window or door, to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number listed line-by-line on the application. Skipping this step gets the application rejected and adds two to three weeks of dead time. We handle the NOA paperwork as part of every Country Club bathroom job. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your project triggers.
An allowance is a written dollar amount in your contract that covers known unknowns, things like framing repair, secondary waterproofing, and copper rough-in replacement behind the tile. We set the allowance based on what we already know about Country Club homes from this era. If the allowance runs short, we write a change order with the exact new price and get your signature before any extra work happens. You never get a surprise invoice from us. Call (936) 259-2607 for a written estimate that includes realistic allowances for your home.
In our experience, the three most common findings are failed or missing secondary waterproofing behind the original tile, corroded copper rough-in and valves, and undersized framing around the plumbing. We also find aluminum-frame windows with failed flashing when the shower wall contains a window. None of this is visible before demo. That’s why we inspect first, write realistic allowances, and never quote a bathroom as if the inside of the wall matches the outside. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule an inspection-based estimate.
Yes, in most cases. A one-day bath remodel in a Country Club concrete block home replaces the tub or shower, valve, surround, and trim in a single day, typically $3,500 to $10,000. The county permit has to be approved first, with NOA numbers for the valve and drain listed. If the wet wall reveals failed waterproofing or framing problems during demo, the job extends to a second day and we handle the change order in writing before proceeding. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll tell you if your specific bathroom is a true one-day job.
A full bathroom remodel in Country Club is usually quoted at two to four weeks, and the single biggest schedule risk is county permit review if the application lacks NOA numbers. We submit the application correctly the first time, with every NOA number listed line-by-line, which keeps review time predictable. What extends a job beyond the quote is almost always what’s found behind the tile, which is why we write allowances and get written approval before any change order work begins. Call (936) 259-2607 for a realistic timeline on your specific project.
