Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Edgewater, FL — tile, showers, vanities, toilets, fixtures, glass enclosures, paint and drywall, plus grab bars for safer bathing. We quote per project after reviewing the photos and measurements you send by phone or WhatsApp, and the estimate is free. Homeowners, condo owners and landlords across Miami-Dade County use us for one bathroom or several.

A good bathroom remodel in Edgewater is mostly about the parts nobody sees once it is finished: a properly sloped shower floor, waterproofing behind the tile, solid backing for grab bars and the glass door, and a fan that actually vents the moisture out. We pay attention to those first, then to the vanity, tile and fixtures that give the room its look.

Send photos and measurements to (786) 788-8714 by text or WhatsApp and we will build a free per-project estimate from them. Helpful shots include the shower or tub from straight on, the ceiling, the floor around the toilet and the inside of the vanity cabinet where the pipes come through. Write to us in Spanish or English, whichever is easier for your household.

What changes when your bathroom is in a tower

Edgewater has filled in with glass condo towers along Biscayne Bay since around 2010, while older low-rise apartment buildings and a few remaining houses still line the inland streets.

Bathroom remodels in high-rise towers start with paperwork, not demolition. Most associations want an application describing the work, a certificate of insurance naming the association, and a schedule that respects their working hours. Many also require sound-rated underlayment under any new hard flooring and approval from management before a water riser is shut off. We prepare the scope and insurance documents the building asks for so your approval moves without back-and-forth.

Inside the unit, the concrete slab sets the limits. Drains in most towers run through the slab toward the unit below, so moving a toilet or shower drain usually means coring or trenching that the association may not allow, and that always needs a permit through our general contractor partner. Keeping fixtures where they are is often the faster, simpler route. Debris goes down in the service elevator, bagged, and out through the loading dock.

Old tile, cast iron and plaster: older-house bathrooms

Houses built from the 1920s through the 1960s around the Design District and the bayfront towers often still have their original bathroom bones: tile set in a thick mortar bed, plaster walls, a cast-iron tub and cast-iron or galvanized pipes behind it. Some owners want to keep the character, meaning the vintage tile, the window and the proportions, and update only the fixtures. Others want everything new. Both are fair choices, and we price them differently.

Opening walls in an older house means planning for what is inside. Galvanized supply lines are often narrowed with rust, and cast-iron drains can be cracked along the bottom. When we see those, we photograph them and tell you before going further. Replacing drain or supply lines is permitted plumbing work handled through our general contractor partner, and it is usually smarter to do it while the walls are already open.

How we run a Edgewater bathroom remodel

  1. Send photos and measurements by phone or WhatsApp. Wide shots of each wall, the floor and the ceiling help most. You receive a free estimate priced for the whole project, not by the hour.
  2. Agree on the plan in writing: the scope, the finishes you have chosen, which items you buy and which we source, and a schedule that accounts for special-order tile or glass.
  3. Handle permits: plumbing, electrical and layout changes are permitted work. Those permits are pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Miami building department, and inspections are scheduled at the right stages of the job.
  4. Build the bathroom: the crew tears out, checks the framing and pipes it uncovers, waterproofs the wet areas, sets tile, installs the vanity, toilet, glass and fixtures, then paints and caulks.
  5. Walk through it together: we run the water, check for leaks and finish details with you, then send photos documenting the waterproofing, the finished room and care notes for grout and glass.

Timing a bathroom remodel

If you live in a condo, the association adds its own steps before work can start: an application, a certificate of insurance, sometimes a board or management review, and a reserved service elevator for demolition day. Permit review by the local building department adds time to any job that changes plumbing, wiring or layout. We start those requests early so the bathroom is not left sitting half-finished.

Bathroom Remodeling in Edgewater — questions we get asked

Can you move the toilet or shower drain in a high-rise unit?

Sometimes, but it is the hardest change to make in a tower. Drains run through the concrete slab, so moving them usually means coring or trenching, which needs association approval, a permit through our general contractor partner and coordination with the unit below. Many owners get the bathroom they want while keeping the drains in place, and we can show you what that layout could look like.

Which bathroom fixtures hold up near the beach?

Salt air is hard on cheap chrome and plain steel. Near the water we suggest solid brass valves and faucets with durable finishes, stainless towel bars and fasteners, and fans with corrosion-resistant housings. Pair that with a fan vented outdoors and mildew-resistant grout, and the bathroom will age much better. We can review the products you are considering before you order.

How do you keep mold and mildew out of a new bathroom?

South Florida humidity is hard on bathrooms, so we start behind the tile: a waterproof membrane in the shower, cement board instead of standard drywall in wet areas and a proper slope to the drain. Then we use mildew-resistant grout and silicone, and replace weak fans with ones vented outside. If we find existing mold during demolition, we show you photos before continuing.

Who buys the tile, vanity and fixtures?

Either way works. Many customers choose and buy their own tile, vanity and faucets, and we tell them exactly what quantities and extra parts to order. Others prefer that we source standard materials as part of the project. Special-order tile, stone tops and custom glass have lead times, so we confirm availability before setting the start date.

What happens to the old tub, tile and debris?

Demolition debris is part of the job. We bag or haul it away, follow any condo or HOA rules about where it can be staged, and use the service elevator or loading dock in buildings that require it. At the end of each day the work area is swept, and at the end of the job we clean the bathroom so it is ready to use.
