Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Hialeah, 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.

Some Hialeah customers want one bathroom done before guests arrive for the holidays. Others want every bathroom in the house updated in a single project so the finishes match. Landlords want durable surfaces that survive tenants, and older owners often want a low-curb shower, a comfort-height toilet and grab bars. Each of these is a different plan, and we price each one on its own.

Whatever the goal, the first step is the same: text or WhatsApp photos of the bathroom to (786) 788-8714, plus rough room and shower measurements. Tell us who uses the room and what has to change. If any part of the job will need a permit, we say so in the estimate. Our team speaks Spanish, so the whole conversation can happen in Spanish.

Remodeling bathrooms in Hialeah's older homes

Central Hialeah is densely built 1950s-to-1970s housing — single-family homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings on compact lots — while Miami Lakes to the north is a planned community of homes, villas and townhomes.

Many older Hialeah houses hide terrazzo under carpet or tile, and some bathrooms have terrazzo or original mosaic floors worth saving. If you want to keep an old floor, we work around it carefully and focus the remodel on the walls, the shower and the fixtures. If the floor has to go, removing a mortar-bed floor is heavier, dustier work, and we plan protection for the rest of the house.

Older bathrooms were also built for a different era: small, tight to the window, with one outlet and no exhaust fan. Adding a fan, a GFCI outlet or a new light circuit counts as electrical work, so it goes through our general contractor partner with a permit. These upgrades are worth it in South Florida, where a bathroom without ventilation fights mildew all year.

What a Hialeah bathroom remodel can include

Most remodels combine several of the items below, and we list each one in the written scope so you know exactly what is and is not part of the project.

Bathroom Remodeling: levels & budget

Refresh

Quoted per project

New vanity, toilet, fixtures, lighting, mirror and paint on the existing layout, regrouting or a new tile floor.

Full remodel

Most projects $15,000–$30,000

Down to the studs: waterproofed walk-in shower or new tub, tile floor to ceiling, vanity, plumbing fixtures, glass and lighting.

Custom & luxury

$30,000+

Layout changes, curbless shower, custom glass, designer tile and niches, relocated plumbing — permitted through our GC partner.

Typical ranges, not a quote: your price is a written line-item quote after photos and measurements or a video call, approved before anything is ordered.

Updating builder-grade bathrooms in Hialeah

Concrete-block houses and townhomes built from the 1960s through the 1990s in Hialeah tend to share the same bathroom story: a fiberglass or acrylic tub-shower combo in the hall bath, a cultured-marble vanity top, and a primary bath with a large tub that nobody uses. The most common projects are replacing that combo with a tiled shower and turning the unused tub into a roomier walk-in shower.

Because these bathrooms often sit against concrete-block exterior walls, we plan anchors and any wall changes with that in mind. Grab bars and glass doors are fastened into block or framing, not just drywall. If you want to add a second sink, move the toilet or relocate the shower valve, that is permitted plumbing work through our general contractor partner, and we price it separately so you can compare.

Five steps from estimate to walkthrough

  1. Estimate from photos: you text or WhatsApp photos and rough measurements to (786) 788-8714. We ask follow-up questions if needed and send a free, per-project estimate with the main options laid out.
  2. Written scope and schedule: once you approve, we put the scope in writing (what gets removed, what gets installed, who supplies which materials) and agree on a start date that fits your household.
  3. Permits where required: if the work moves plumbing, adds circuits or changes the layout, the permit is pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Hialeah building department (or the Town of Miami Lakes for addresses there) before that part of the work begins.
  4. The work: demolition, a check of what the walls reveal, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and finishes, in that order. We protect floors along the path, keep dust contained and clean up at the end of each day.
  5. Final walkthrough: we test every fixture, the drain and the fan with you, fix anything on the punch list, and send a photo report of the finished bathroom and of what is behind the walls.

What sets the timeline for your bathroom

Material lead times often decide the calendar more than the crew does. Stock tile and vanities can be picked up quickly, while special-order porcelain, natural stone, custom vanities and frameless glass have to be ordered and, for glass, measured only after the tile is finished. We build the schedule around what you choose and tell you up front which items could slow things down.

Bathroom Remodeling in Hialeah — questions we get asked

My house is old. What surprises should I expect?

In houses from the 1920s through the 1960s, common findings are galvanized supply pipes clogged with rust, cracked cast-iron drains, thick mortar-bed tile and uneven plaster walls. We list the likely unknowns in the estimate. When walls open, we send photos before changing anything, and replacing pipes is permitted work through our general contractor partner, usually most practical while the walls are open.

Can you turn a tub into a walk-in shower for an older parent?

Yes, it is a request we hear often. We remove the tub, build a shower with a low curb or curbless entry where the floor allows, add a handheld sprayer, a seat and grab bars anchored into solid backing, and use slip-resistant floor tile. Tell us who will use the shower and any mobility needs so the heights and positions fit them.

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.

Does hurricane season affect my remodel?

It can. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. If a storm threatens, we secure the work area and pause, and we avoid leaving you without a working bathroom right before a forecast storm. Afterward, material deliveries and inspections may slow down across South Florida. We build some room into the schedule and keep you informed by text.

Can we keep living in the house during the remodel?

Usually, yes. We contain dust at the bathroom door, protect the floors along our path and clean up at the end of each day. The main question is whether you have another working bathroom. If it is the only one, we plan the toilet reset early and tell you in the schedule which stretches you will be without a shower, so you can plan around them.
