Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Miami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Trevor Nash runs our Miami operation the way he’d run a job in his own home: show up on time, explain what you found, and put the price in writing before touching a wall. Miami homeowners who’ve been burned by a contractor before tend to notice that difference fast. We serve neighborhoods across the city daily, from the aging CBS stock in Little Havana to condos along Brickell, and we’re familiar with what Miami-Dade inspectors look for when a permit gets pulled.
Our team arrives in uniform, background-checked on every job. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every bathroom remodel we complete. If something fails inside the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge, covered in writing. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee. That’s the standard we’ve held under The Kingswell Way since 2004, and it doesn’t change when the job gets complicated.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Miami
Bathroom remodeling companies in Miami operate under a building code that most of the country doesn’t have to think about. You’re not just hiring someone to hang drywall and set tile. You’re hiring someone who understands the Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires a Notice of Acceptance (NOA) for specific materials and fasteners, and who knows what an inspector will flag when a bathroom wall comes open. That’s the real difference between a company that quotes you accurately and one that hits you with change orders after demolition day.
Inspection-First Scope
We don’t quote a bathroom remodel in Miami blind. Before we write a number, we look behind the tub surround, check the subfloor, and assess what the existing framing can carry. That way the written price reflects reality rather than a guess.
Written Allowances Built In
Older Miami homes hold surprises. We build written allowances into the contract for the things we know might appear, like rotted furring strips or missing moisture barriers. If a change does come, it’s priced and signed off before we proceed.
Bathroom Renovation in Miami
Bathroom renovation in Miami often means working inside a concrete block structure built decades before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the codebooks in 1992. That matters because most of those homes in Allapattah, Hialeah, and West Miami still have 2×3 furring strips and aluminum window headers that were never meant to carry a tiled shower. A renovation isn’t a simple swap-out when the framing behind the tile has been quietly failing for thirty years.
Full Gut and Rebuild
A full bathroom remodel in Miami runs $10,620 – $33,040 depending on the footprint, the condition of the subfloor and framing, and the fixtures you choose. We handle everything from demo to final trim, with permits pulled and inspections passed along the way.
Smaller Scope Updates
A small bathroom remodel, where the footprint stays put and we replace the vanity, toilet, and surfaces, typically lands between $5,900 and $14,160. These jobs still get the same written price, the same guarantee, and the same care when we open a wall and find something the last remodel covered up.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
Our Bathroom Remodeling team stocks local parts for the brands most Miami homeowners ask for, which means less waiting on a truck from Orlando. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. Those product brands carry their own warranties, which layer on top of the 365-Day Done Right Promise we write into every contract. When we hand you a written price, it’s for real materials from recognized trade brands, not whatever was on sale at the supply yard.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Failed waterproofing behind tub and shower walls. A previous remodel used mastic or plain greenboard instead of a bonded membrane, and water wicked into the block. You see efflorescence on the opposite wall or a soft subfloor before you ever touch the tile.
- Undersized or rotted framing. Pre-1992 CBS homes in Little Havana and Hialeah were often framed with 2×3 furring strips that crumble once exposed. That framing was never sized for a tiled shower on a wet wall.
- Permit-triggered code upgrades. Once the wall is open, the inspector expects GFCI protection, proper exhaust termination, and possibly impact-rated glazing if the window is in scope. A bid that didn’t include those allowances turns into a surprise.
- Missing roof-to-wall straps. Open a ceiling in an older Miami home and you’ll often find the roof structure simply resting on the block with no hurricane straps. A bathroom permit can trigger a strap-retrofit line item even when the scope had nothing to do with the roof.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Miami
If the remodel exposes the roof-to-wall interface, yes, the inspector can and often does require a strap retrofit even when the permitted scope is only a bathroom. We flag this before we open anything, write it into the estimate, and get the change order signed before adding it to the permit. Call (936) 259-2607 if you want us to check your roof-to-wall condition before we quote.
In pre-1992 CBS homes, you’ll typically find missing moisture barriers, rotted furring strips, and sometimes a roof structure simply resting on the block with no mechanical connectors. That’s not the exception in neighborhoods like Allapattah and West Miami; it’s the normal condition. We plan for it in the written price so you’re not financing surprises.
We inspect before we quote, we write allowances into the contract for known unknowns like framing and waterproofing, and any change gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No verbal “it’ll be a little more” halfway through demo. Get a written number from us up front: call (936) 259-2607.
Sustained rain and high humidity between June and October can delay exterior work and cure times, but interior bathroom work typically continues on schedule. The bigger scheduling variable is permit processing, which slows during the season. We’ll give you a real arrival window and keep you posted if anything shifts.
Your contract should include the waterproofing system by name, the GFCI and exhaust upgrades, any impact-rated glazing if the window is in scope, and a clearly labeled allowance for framing or strap retrofits. We list all of those in writing before work starts. For a line-item quote on your bathroom, call (936) 259-2607.
We opened a wall in a Little Havana CBS home once, pulling a tub surround for a hall bath remodel. The load-bearing wall behind it had no moisture barrier. The block was wet to the touch. The furring strips crumbled in our hands. We re-framed the wet wall, re-flashed the rough-in, and set a Schluter waterproofing system before any tile went up. The inspector then flagged the missing roof-to-wall straps when the ceiling was open. We wrote the change order, priced it, got it signed, and added the strap retrofit to the permit before drywall went back. The draw schedule held because nothing got discovered after the last draw. That’s the job done right in Miami.
