Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Hialeah Gardens
A shower remodel in Hialeah Gardens homes is where we find the worst failures, and it’s rarely the tile’s fault. The original galvanized supply pipes behind the valve corrode from the inside, thanks to the mineral-heavy groundwater that sits just a few feet below these slabs. You call us for new tile, and we open the wall to find pinhole leaks weeping into the block. That’s not a surprise we spring on you at the end. It’s in the written line-item quote before we cut anything.
A walk-in shower installation here runs $4,500 – $12,000. Shower replacement runs $3,000 – $8,500. The spread comes down to what’s behind the wall, not the tile you pick.
Waterproofing on CBS Walls
CBS walls sweat. Put standard drywall behind a shower surround without a vapor barrier, and you’ll have mold behind the tile within two years. We specify waterproof backer board, sealed seams, and a vapor barrier where the wall meets the block. It costs a little more up front and saves a gut job later.
Impact-Rated Exhaust
Hialeah Gardens humidity doesn’t quit. An exhaust fan that isn’t rated for impact or doesn’t move enough CFM leaves moisture on original single-pane windows, rotting the wood frame from the inside. We spec fans that actually clear the room, and we vent them to the exterior, not into the attic.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Hialeah Gardens
Tub to Shower Conversion in Hialeah Gardens is the most requested job we do, and it’s the one where the cheap bid bites hardest. Most of these 1970s – 1990s homes have original tubs sitting directly on the slab. You want that tub gone and a walk-in shower in its place, which is smart for a lot of these households. But the pan has to be set level on the concrete, or water ponds underneath and wicks up into the baseboard. We see that failure on the low-bid jobs all the time.
A tub-to-shower conversion here runs $3,500 – $10,000. The low end gets you a solid acrylic system. The high end includes marine-grade hardware, a sealed pan, and re-routed plumbing if the drain doesn’t line up. On West Okeechobee Road, we remodeled a 1983 CBS home bathroom where the owner wanted exactly this. When our crew opened the shower wall, the original galvanized nipples behind the valve had rusted to a pinhole leak that had been weeping into the block. We ran a change order to replace the rough-in with PEX and add a sealed access panel before the inspection sign-off. The homeowner saw the photos. The price changed only because the scope changed, and that was in writing before we touched it.
That Low-Bid Pan Problem
A pre-fab acrylic pan over a slab with a low spot is a mold factory. Water ponds, the pan flexes, and the baseboard starts swelling within a season. We float the pan or use a mortar bed so it drains. Every time.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Hialeah Gardens Homes
- Galvanized supply lines failing inside the wall. The original pipes from the 1970s and 80s corrode from the inside due to minerals in the local groundwater. A vanity swap becomes a re-pipe more often than not.
- Grout cracking in concrete block homes. CBS walls shift with temperature and humidity cycles. Standard grout can’t handle it. We use flexible grout caulk at plane changes and sealed joints on shower surrounds.
- Mold behind tile from missing vapor barriers. South Florida humidity pushes moisture through block walls. Without a proper barrier, the backside of your shower stays damp and mold gets a permanent home.
- Rotting window frames from poor bathroom ventilation. Original single-pane windows in Hialeah Gardens bathrooms collect condensation daily. If the exhaust fan isn’t moving enough air, the wood frame rots from the inside out.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Hialeah Gardens
Because the original galvanized steel supply pipes in 1970s – 1990s CBS homes corrode from the inside, and by the time you’re remodeling, they’re usually near failure. We open the wall, find the pinholes, and have to replace the rough-in before any new fixture goes in. If we find it, we show you photos and put the re-pipe in a written change order before we proceed. Call (850) 801-8046 if you suspect your bathroom has original plumbing.
We check it during the estimate, not after demo starts. On Hialeah Gardens slab homes, the question is whether the concrete is level and whether there’s existing moisture damage around the old pan. We look for low spots, cracks, and evidence of weeping. If the substrate needs prep, that’s in the written quote.
No, and you shouldn’t try. Hialeah Gardens enforces Miami-Dade building codes, which means any plumbing or structural change to a bathroom requires a permit. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections on every conversion. Skipping permits saves money now and becomes a problem when you sell. Call (850) 801-8046 and we’ll handle the paperwork.
In Hialeah Gardens, a basic tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000 depending on size and plumbing. Marine-grade finishes, meaning corrosion-resistant hardware, impact-rated exhaust, and sealed waterproof joints, typically add 15 – 25% to the material cost. The cheap spec fails within a decade here. The marine-grade spec is built for this humidity. Call (850) 801-8046 for an exact line-item quote.
Because CBS walls expand and contract with South Florida’s temperature and humidity swings, and standard grout can’t flex. The cracks you see at corners and where tile meets the floor are the wall moving. We use flexible sealant at all plane changes and proper movement joints in the install, which stops the cracking. Call (850) 801-8046 for a free estimate on a re-grout or full shower replacement.
