Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami
A full bathroom remodel in Miami typically runs $10,620 – $33,040, with smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion landing closer to $4,130 – $11,800. We build that price in writing before we pick up a single tool, so the number you approve is the number on the final invoice. If you’re in Coral Gables, Shenandoah, or anywhere across Miami and you’re tired of chasing contractors who quote low and vanish, call us at (850) 801-8046 and we’ll put a written price in your hands. Our crews know Miami’s older homes, Miami’s humidity, and Miami’s building code better than most because we work inside these walls every week.
Luca Romano leads Sawyer Remodel Miami, and he’s built our process around one thing: you should know exactly who’s walking into your home, when they’ll arrive, and what the job costs before work starts. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we run every bathroom remodel in Miami.
Why Sawyer Remodel Miami Is Miami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Miami homeowners keep calling us back because we treat a bathroom remodel like what it actually is: a construction project with surprises hiding behind the tile. Most of our Miami customers are between 28 and 45, they manage everything from a phone, and they have zero patience for a contractor who ghosts after demo day. So we built our process around that. The Relay Visibility Guarantee means you get a live arrival time, before-and-after photo updates, a written price before work begins, and a digital invoice you pay from a link. No phone tag. No four-hour windows. No wondering what’s happening in your own home.
We also put our finished work in writing. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every bathroom remodel we complete in Miami. If something isn’t done right, we return and make it right. That’s a full year of accountability after the project closes, not something you have to ask for.
Since 2005, Sawyer Remodeling has worked under The Relay Standard: background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job, calls answered by a live person 24/7, and name-brand materials with manufacturer backing behind the install. When you call our Miami office, you talk to a person who knows the Miami market, not a call center reading a script.

Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Miami
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Miami range from one-truck operations working out of a pickup to full-service general contractors with in-house crews and written warranties. What separates them usually shows up after demolition starts. In Miami, the difference matters more than in most cities because of what’s behind these walls. A full bathroom remodel here means pulling permits that trigger current Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, and that changes both the scope and the price.
When you hire us, you’re hiring a general contractor who has worked through Miami’s permitting process hundreds of times. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspections, and we pass them. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from the demolition to the final walkthrough, with photo updates sent to your phone throughout.
Written Allowances for What’s Hiding Behind the Wall
Every Miami bathroom remodel contract we write includes line-item allowances for the unknowns: damaged subfloor, corroded pipe, missing waterproofing, missing hurricane straps. You see exactly what’s covered before we start, and any change gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Permit-Ready Work From Day One
Older Miami bathrooms often can’t legally be remodeled without bringing the room up to current code. We plan for that from the first estimate, so your project doesn’t stall at inspection because the permit triggered a retrofit nobody mentioned.
Bathroom Renovation in Miami
Bathroom Renovation in Miami almost always costs more than the same job in Orlando or Jacksonville, and the reasons are local: HVHZ wind-load codes, salt-air corrosion, and housing stock that’s mostly concrete block and stucco from the 1950s through the 1970s. A typical full renovation in Miami runs $10,620 – $33,040. A small bathroom renovation is closer to $5,900 – $14,160.
We renovate bathrooms in everything from 1920s wood-frame cottages in Shenandoah to high-rise condominiums along Brickell Avenue. Each building type presents different challenges, and our estimates reflect the actual conditions we’ll find, not a generic national average. If you’re renovating a bathroom in Mirabella Park or Little Havana, the permit process, the plumbing condition, and the waterproofing requirements are all Miami-specific.
Condominium Bathroom Work
Bathroom renovations in Miami condos require coordination with your building’s management company, insurance requirements, and often stricter work-hour rules. We handle that paperwork and scheduling so you don’t have to play middleman between the building and the crew.
Older Home Bathroom Renovations
In neighborhoods like Coral Gables and Shenandoah, original 1920s through 1950s bathrooms often hide galvanized plumbing, inadequate framing, and no moisture barrier. Our renovation contracts include written allowances for exactly these discoveries, so the price doesn’t jump after we open the wall.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We install and service fixtures from Delta, Toto, and American Standard, and we use Schluter waterproofing systems on our tile work. For our Miami customers, that means you’re choosing from name-brand products with manufacturer warranties behind them, not whatever the supply house had on clearance. We keep common replacement parts and finish options in our Miami stock, so a faucet swap or a trim kit change doesn’t add a week to your timeline. When you pick a Toto toilet or a Delta shower system, you know exactly what you’re getting, and we stand behind the install with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Corroded galvanized plumbing behind original tile. Miami’s salt-laden air eats galvanized pipe from the outside in, and after 40 or 50 years it’s often paper-thin in the wall. We include a written allowance for copper or PEX repipe up to the shutoff.
- No moisture barrier behind the original tile. Pre-1990s Miami bathrooms were frequently built with tile set directly on drywall or mud with no waterproofing membrane. In Miami’s humidity that means mold behind the wall, and any remodel should include cement board and a proper membrane like Schluter.
- Missing or corroded hurricane straps at the top plate. In Miami’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, opening a bathroom wall often exposes missing roof-to-wall connections. Your permit may require installing strapping before the inspector signs off, and that’s a cost we cover with a written allowance.
- Rotted subfloor under the old tub or shower. Cast-iron tubs and decades of slow leaks mean the plywood underneath is often gone by the time we pull the fixture. A written subfloor allowance keeps that discovery from becoming a surprise bill.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Miami, FL
Here’s what our Miami customers can expect on common bathroom projects. These are real numbers from our written estimates, not national averages or online calculators.
| Project | Miami Price Range |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $10,620 – $33,040 |

What moves the number is what we find when we open the wall: the condition of your plumbing, whether the subfloor is sound, and what Miami-Dade County requires once the permit is pulled. That’s why our written estimates include allowances for those discoveries, not vague “we’ll see” language. Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll send you a written line-item estimate for your specific bathroom. There’s no charge for the estimate, and you keep it whether you hire us or not.
Luca Romano and our Miami team don’t play the bait-and-switch game. The price we write down is the price you pay unless you approve a written change order for something we both discovered together.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Miami
Expect to find one or more of three things: galvanized plumbing corroded by decades of salt air, no moisture barrier behind the original tile, and missing or corroded hurricane straps at the top plate. The age of the home matters less than how it was built, and in Miami’s pre-1990s stock, all three are common. We write allowances for these discoveries into every estimate so they don’t become surprises. Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll walk you through what we typically find in homes like yours.
Because Miami is a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and opening a bathroom wall in a pre-1990s home often exposes missing roof-to-wall connections that current code requires before any inspection sign-off. What starts as a shower replacement can legally trigger a retrofit. We plan for that from the first estimate, pull the permit ourselves, and schedule the inspections so your project doesn’t stall.
Allowances are written dollar amounts in your contract for predictable unknowns: damaged subfloor, corroded pipe, missing waterproofing. A change order is a written amendment that shows exactly what changed and what it costs, and it requires your signature before we proceed. In Miami specifically, where older homes hide more surprises than most, this process keeps your remodel moving without surprise bills. Our free estimates include these protections automatically. Call (850) 801-8046 to see what your project’s contract would look like.
You can, but you shouldn’t. Miami’s humidity doesn’t let a shortcut stay hidden for long. If we pull tile and find no moisture barrier, and we install new tile without addressing that, you’ll have mold behind the wall within a few years. We won’t do that to you. We’ll show you what we found, explain the waterproofing scope, and price it in writing before we proceed.
Moving plumbing in a bathroom often means cutting through framing, and in older Miami homes, some of that framing is load-bearing. If you want to move a toilet to the other side of the room or expand a shower into a wall, that wall may be holding up the roof. We identify load-bearing walls before we write the estimate, and if moving your fixture requires structural work, that’s priced in writing up front, not discovered after demo.
