Three Lakes sits on the Everglades fringe, which changes how a bathroom remodel gets sequenced. The water table here is essentially at ground level, and the soil is organic peat and marl rather than the limestone ridge you get just a few miles east in Kendall or Cutler Bay. That means rough-in work, subfloor repair, and drain replacement have to be planned around saturated ground, and it means the products going into your bathroom envelope need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, not just a Florida Product Approval. Our Bathroom Remodeling team pulls permits in unincorporated Miami-Dade regularly, so we know which materials pass and which ones get rejected at final sign-off.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Three Lakes’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Trevor Nash leads every project with a simple rule: the written price you get before we start is the number on the invoice when we finish. No change orders for things we should have seen in the walkthrough. No surprises on a tight Three Lakes lot where staging space barely fits a dumpster and a tile saw at the same time.

We work on homes near the intersection of SW 137th Avenue and SW 184th Street, in the neighborhoods around the Three Lakes Park area, and in the older post-Andrew rebuilds throughout the community. Homeowners here care about two things before anything else: does the company answer the phone, and will they stand behind the work. A live person answers our phone 24/7. And every project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Our crews are background-checked and arrive in uniform. You’ll know exactly who is walking through your front door. That matters in Three Lakes, where a lot of the work happens on narrow streets with shared driveways and neighbors close enough to hear a hammer fall.

Shower Remodel in Three Lakes

A shower remodel in Three Lakes means pulling out an existing shower pan, tile surround, or tub-shower combo and rebuilding the wet area from the studs out, usually on a concrete slab with drainage that may have shifted. In this part of unincorporated Miami-Dade, we frequently open a shower wall and find cement board that was never properly sealed against the sustained humidity and wet-season rain the area gets, over 60 inches annually. The moisture gets trapped between the tile and the block wall, and by the time the grout starts cracking, the damage is already behind the surface. A shower remodel in Three Lakes generally runs $3,000 to $12,000 depending on whether you’re keeping the original footprint or changing the drain location.

Curbless and Barrier-Free Showers

We install curbless walk-in showers for Three Lakes homeowners who want to age in place or just avoid stepping over a threshold. On a slab-on-grade home, achieving a proper slope means either lowering the slab section or using a pre-sloped pan that matches the existing waste line elevation. We check that early because in this soil, moving a drain even six inches can uncover saturated ground that delays the pour.

Frameless Glass and Tile Work

We order frameless glass enclosures that carry the right Miami-Dade product approvals and measure only after the tile is set and cured. Tile choices run from large-format porcelain to natural stone, and we recommend sealed grout and a cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) to handle the humidity this close to the Everglades.

Tub to Shower Conversion in Three Lakes

A tub to shower conversion in Three Lakes typically costs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s the most common single-bathroom upgrade we do in the 1970s-through-1990s CBS housing stock out here. Most of these homes were built with a standard tub surround, and homeowners want the deep soak gone in favor of a step-in shower with a bench or a low-threshold entrance. The job involves removing the old tub, checking the drain location and slab condition, re-waterproofing the alcove, and setting the new pan or tile floor.

Drain and Slab Verification Before Demo

Before we remove a tub on a Three Lakes slab home, we check the existing waste line and slab elevation. On a 1970s CBS home in the Three Lakes area, our crew gutted a hall bath and found the original cast-iron drain embedded in saturated peat-marl soil that refused to dry after a wet-season deluge. We shimmed and sistered the subfloor and re-rough-in the shower drain before any tile went down. That kind of early verification keeps the job on schedule and the price honest.

Shower Niches, Benches, and Fixtures

We build recessed niches between studs, floating benches where the alcove allows, and we install Kohler and Moen fixtures that carry the Miami-Dade NOA and a manufacturer warranty behind our own workmanship guarantee. The shower valve, diverter, and mixing assembly are all set during rough-in, so it’s the time to choose your finish and pressure preference without delaying the tile schedule.

Trusted Brands We Service in Three Lakes

We work with the cabinetry, countertop, and fixture brands that carry the weight of our 365-Day Done Right Promise. For Three Lakes bathroom remodels, that means Cambria or Silestone quartz on the vanity, KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, and Kohler or Moen fixtures. We also cross-check every window, door, and vent-fan product against the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance database before we order, so you’re not buying a brand that fails at final inspection. We stock common trim kits, valve cartridges, and shower drain assemblies from these manufacturers for Three Lakes customers, which means fewer week-long waits for parts.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Three Lakes Homes

• Saturated peat-marl soil under slab bathrooms. The near-zero-foot water table means the ground under your slab stays wet for months after a wet-season storm, and that moisture migrates up through the concrete. We see tile floors that have delaminated and subfloor framing that has rotted from the soil side.
• Failed inspections from Florida Product Approval windows and vents. A homeowner buys a window or exhaust fan online, it carries Florida Product Approval, but the Three Lakes inspector rejects it because there’s no Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We verify the NOA before anything gets ordered.
• Post-Andrew patchwork framing and waterproofing. Homes rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew from 1993 through the mid-1990s often have a mix of original 1970s framing and newer post-Andrew code work in the same bathroom. That patchwork shows up as uneven walls, mismatched stud spacing, and waterproofing that was never continuous.
• Shared-wall drainage and venting conflicts on tight lots. On a narrow Three Lakes lot with a shared wall, a bathroom vent or drain re-route can cross onto the neighbor’s side of the property line. We file the proper party-wall notice and keep every mechanical change on your side, or we pull the permit revision before the inspector catches it.
