Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Palmetto Estates’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

We work in Palmetto Estates often enough to know the permit desk at DPERM, the wet-season slab issues, and which streets still have the original jalousie openings. That local familiarity shows up in our quotes: we account for Miami-Dade Product Control requirements up front, not as a change order after demo. Homeowners here tend to ask hard questions about waterproofing and fasteners, and we answer them with the trade word first, then the plain explanation.

Every Penhallow job in Palmetto Estates gets a written price before work begins, a defined arrival window, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. It’s in writing. The technicians who walk through your door are background-checked and uniformed, so you know who’s in your home. And when you call (936) 259-2607, a live person answers. No voicemail maze.

We’re part of the Kingswell family of companies, and we’ve operated under The Kingswell Way since 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it. Each location is independently owned and operated.

Small Bathroom Remodel in Palmetto Estates

A Small Bathroom Remodel in Palmetto Estates almost always means working inside a 5’x8′ or 6’x9′ footprint in a 1950s – 1970s CBS home, where the original terrazzo or tile sits directly on concrete and the walls carry decades of paint over plaster or drywall. Palmetto Estates homeowners usually need this when a guest bath or hallway bath has failing grout, a corroded vanity, or a shower valve that drips through the wet season. The job includes demo, new substrate, waterproofing, a new tub or shower base, vanity, toilet, lighting, and finish work. Expect $5,000 – $12,000 depending on whether you’re keeping the existing layout and how much of the rough-in needs correction.

CBS Wall Prep and Waterproofing

The concrete block walls in Palmetto Estates homes sweat during the May – October stretch, so we won’t set tile directly against a slab that’s wicking groundwater from 18 – 24 inches up. We install cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) with the proper seams and fasteners, then a waterproof membrane before tile goes up. That step is where cheap estimates cut corners, and it’s the first thing we check when we open a wall.

Keeping the Terrazzo or Replacing It

Some Palmetto Estates homeowners want to keep the original terrazzo floor, which holds up remarkably well if the slab hasn’t cracked. We can work with that. If water damage from the wet season has lifted or stained the terrazzo, we’ll quote a replacement as part of the small remodel and show you modern tile that matches the period feel of the house.

Shower Remodel in Palmetto Estates

A Shower Remodel in Palmetto Estates typically means converting an alcove tub, rebuilding a failing walk-in, or replacing a fiberglass unit that was installed decades ago without proper waterproofing. Homeowners here ask for this when the shower pan leaks through to the room below, the grout won’t stop darkening, or the chrome hardware has pitted from salt air. A shower replacement runs $3,000 – $8,500; a full walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000.

Walk-In Shower Installation

We build Palmetto Estates walk-ins with a mortared, pre-sloped pan, HVHZ-approved liner, and tile or solid-surface walls. If we’re opening a 1960s bathroom, there’s a good chance the original pan was set directly on the slab with no waterproofing between the concrete and the finish. We strip that out and start the rough-in from the permit drawings up.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

This is one of the most common requests in Palmetto Estates, and it runs $3,500 – $10,000. We pull the old tub, correct the drain location if needed, build a waterproof shower base, and install tile or a solid-surface surround. For homes with aging jalousie window openings inside the shower footprint, we coordinate the glazing replacement through DPERM so the rough-in doesn’t get held up.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palmetto Estates

We install materials from brands that back their products with their own warranties: Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry when the remodel includes a new vanity. Cambria quartz carries a lifetime warranty that layers on top of our 365-Day Done Right Promise. For Palmetto Estates customers, that matters because the salt air eats inferior finishes fast. We stock common fixture and hardware parts locally so we’re not waiting on a supply-house run when a shower valve needs replacement mid-project.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Palmetto Estates Homes

Every neighborhood has its failure patterns. Here’s what we open up in Palmetto Estates bathrooms:

• Slab-level water wicking. The high water table on the Miami Rock Ridge means any ground-level rough-in sits 18 – 24 inches above saturated limestone during the wet season. Unsealed concrete wicks that moisture into the substrate and rots it from below, which is why waterproofing is non-negotiable here.
• Salt-air hardware corrosion. The breeze off Biscayne Bay carries salt that pits chrome faucets, hinges, and zinc-plated fasteners within a few years. We specify marine-grade or high-polish stainless and sealed hardware, and we explain the price difference in the quote rather than surprising you on install day.
• Post-Andrew remodel layering. Tearing out a 1970s Palmetto Estates bathroom often exposes non-HVHZ-rated glazing and tie-beam patches from a previous remodel. DPERM requires the glazing be brought up to code before rough-in can close, and we build that into the schedule up front.
• Original jalousie windows in wet zones. Many Palmetto Estates bathrooms still have the original jalousie openings that let rain and humidity in behind the tile. When they sit inside a shower footprint, we replace them with impact-rated, product-control-approved glass before setting tile.
