Bathroom Remodeling in Sunset - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Sunset

A full bathroom remodel in Sunset typically costs $9,000 – $28,000, depending on the size of the room, the condition of what’s behind the walls, and the fixtures you choose. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we’ve spent enough time in Sunset’s 1950s-to-1980s concrete-block homes to know exactly what happens when you open up a bathroom that hasn’t been touched in forty years. Trevor Nash runs our crew, and the first thing he’ll tell you is that the price we put in writing before we start is the price on the invoice when the inspection passes. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll walk through your bathroom, your budget, and what the permit will require before anything gets torn out.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Sunset’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Sunset homeowners call us because we write the number down before the first tile comes off the wall. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s been how we operate since 2004: a written price up front, a real arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on every project. When our crew works in Sunset, they’re background-checked, uniformed, and they arrive when they said they would. No verbal ballpark that changes after demo day. No surprise change orders sent by text at 6 a.m.

We also know Sunset’s building stock in a way an out-of-county crew won’t. Most homes here went up before Miami-Dade’s post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul, which means a bathroom remodel often triggers electrical, plumbing, and waterproofing upgrades that a contractor unfamiliar with unincorporated Miami-Dade requirements won’t catch until the inspector flags it. We plan for those from day one. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing: if something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. And a live person answers the phone 24/7 at (936) 259-2607, not an answering service.

One Day Bath Remodel in Sunset

A One Day Bath Remodel in Sunset is a focused refresh that swaps out the visible surfaces – tub or shower surround, vanity top, fixtures, and often the toilet – without tearing the room down to studs, and it typically runs $5,000 – $12,000 for a small bathroom depending on materials. Sunset homeowners choose this when the bathroom works but looks tired, the grout’s stained, the vanity has water damage at the base, and they don’t want to live without a functioning bathroom for three weeks. We use moisture-rated backer board and proper waterproofing even on speed jobs, because Sunset’s water table doesn’t care how fast you want it done.

What Gets Replaced

A one-day remodel usually includes the shower base or tub surround, the vanity top and faucet, the toilet, and the light fixture trim. In Sunset’s older homes, we commonly find the original cast-iron tub still in place – rusted at the drain collar but structurally fine – and we’ll quote replacing the tub with a fiberglass or acrylic unit rather than trying to refinish a 50-year-old surface that’ll fail again in eighteen months.

What Stays In Place

Wall framing, supply plumbing, and drain lines typically stay untouched unless we find damage. That said, if a vanity swap exposes a corroded shutoff valve or a vent line that was never installed to code, we’ll flag it before we proceed. The written price we gave you still stands – any additional work gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it.

Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Sunset

A full Bathroom Remodeling Contractor job in Sunset means tearing out the existing bathroom to the studs and rebuilding it from the waterproofing layer out, and those projects typically run $9,000 – $28,000 depending on square footage, fixture grade, and what code upgrades the permit triggers. Sunset’s pre-1994 homes rarely have a vapor barrier under the slab, and many original bathrooms were built with greenboard behind the tile – a material that turns to mush the moment water finds a crack in the grout. So we budget for the layers you can’t see: cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), a waterproofing membrane at the floor, and pressure-treated framing wherever wood meets concrete.

The Right Way To Open A Wall

We open a bathroom in sections, not all at once. Once the tile comes off, we photograph every layer before we rebuild: framing condition, drain pipe material, wiring gauge. You get a walkthrough of what we found, what it costs to fix, and what the inspector will want to see. No one gets surprised.

Inspection-Ready Work

Unincorporated Miami-Dade requires a permit for any remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or framing in a bathroom, and the inspector will check waterproofing, venting, and flood-level compliance. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and stand with the job through final sign-off. The 365-Day Done Right Promise says if something fails in the first year – a leak, a loose vanity, a shifted shower base – we return and fix it for free.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset

We source bathroom materials from brands whose warranties actually hold up in a humid, salt-adjacent climate. Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria quartz countertops, and Schluter waterproofing membranes all perform well in Sunset homes, where standing humidity and a shallow water table punish cheap fixtures faster than a dry-climate homeowner would ever see. For homeowners interested in more modern options, we can also work with prefabricated systems from brands like Dvele or Abodu when the project scope allows – though most Sunset remodels are rebuilds of existing rooms rather than modular installs. Because our dispatch operates out of the Miami office, parts and materials for Sunset jobs move through quickly, and we keep common components stocked so a missing trim kit doesn’t stall your project for a week.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sunset Homes

• Vapor barrier never installed under the slab. Sunset’s water table sits one to two feet below grade on porous oolitic limestone, so moisture wicks up through tile-on-slab floors year-round. The old tile looks dry on the surface, but the grout’s been pulling moisture into the wall cavity for decades.
• Greenboard behind the tile instead of cement board or a membrane. Pre-1994 Sunset homes often have drywall designed for dry conditions behind the shower surround. We find it shredded and mold-bloomed once the tile is removed, and the framing underneath is soft at the base.
• Sixty-year-old drain lines under a new vanity. Cast-iron drains from the 1960s and 1970s are near the end of their service life in Sunset’s humid, slab-on-grade conditions. We inspect and quote replacement when needed rather than setting a new vanity over a pipe that’ll fail next year.
• Out-of-county subs pulling the wrong products. If a Broward contractor runs a Sunset job, they’ll often spec shower door hardware or impact glazing that doesn’t carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. The inspection table rejects it, the job stalls, and someone eats a material swap. We only pull NOA-listed products from the start.
