Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Miami, FL: practical updates for bathrooms that leak, look dated or no longer fit the people using them. Send us photos and measurements by text or WhatsApp and we return a free, per-project estimate; anything that needs a permit is handled with our general contractor partner. We serve 33125, 33126, 33127 and other ZIP codes and the surrounding parts of Miami-Dade County.

Some Miami 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.

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

Across Little Havana, Allapattah, Flagami and Coral Way, much of the housing is 1940s-to-1970s concrete-block homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings with plaster interiors, next to newer lofts and condos in Wynwood.

Remodeling an older house is less predictable than a newer one, and we say so up front. The estimate covers what we can see in your photos, and we name the likely unknowns: what the subfloor looks like under the tile, whether the tub drain is cast iron, how flat the plaster walls are. When the walls come down, we send you photos of what we find before anything changes in scope or price.

Plaster and old block walls are not as forgiving as modern drywall, so new tile often needs a flattened surface or new backer board to sit straight. Window walls in the shower get special attention: we waterproof around the opening, and many owners choose to make the window smaller or move the shower so water stops hitting the sill. Changes to the window opening are permitted work.

Updating rental bathrooms between tenants

Rental bathrooms often arrive with deferred problems: a running toilet, a loose vanity, soft drywall behind the tub, failed caulk and an exhaust fan that stopped working long ago. Fixing those during a remodel is simpler than chasing them one service call at a time. Our estimate lists the repairs separately from the upgrades, so you can choose what to do now and what can wait.

If the property is in a condo building, the association rules apply to you as the owner, including approval forms and insurance certificates. We prepare our part of that paperwork. For single-family rentals, we coordinate access with you or your property manager, use a lockbox if you have one, and leave the unit secured and clean at the end of every workday.

How we run a Miami 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, or Miami-Dade County for unincorporated addresses such as Westchester and Tamiami, 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.

How long a bathroom remodel takes in Miami

A cosmetic refresh (new vanity, toilet, lights, mirror and paint on the existing layout) is usually a matter of days. A shower rebuild with new tile takes longer because each layer needs time: demolition, waterproofing, a flood test, tile setting, grout curing and then glass measurement. A full gut runs longer still, and the biggest variable is not the labor but the permit review and the inspections that happen in between.

Bathroom Remodeling in Miami — questions we get asked

My condo association has to approve the work. Can you help?

Yes. Most associations ask for a description of the work, a certificate of insurance and a schedule within their allowed hours, and many require sound-rated underlayment under new hard flooring. We provide the scope and insurance documents your building asks for and plan around elevator reservations and water shutoffs. Send your association's renovation rules along with your photos so the estimate reflects them.

I own a rental. Can you work between tenants?

Yes. Send the move-out date, photos and what you want done, and we plan materials ahead so the bathroom can be ready for the next tenant. Durable, easy-to-replace finishes cut down on future service calls. If a tenant is still living there, give notice as your lease and local rules require, and we schedule the work around them.

What is not included in a bathroom remodel?

We do not fabricate stone countertops; a stone shop makes them and we coordinate the template and install. Permitted plumbing, electrical and layout changes go through our general contractor partner rather than our own crew. We also do not do large-scale mold remediation, which needs a specialist. Anything outside the written scope is discussed and agreed before it happens, never added quietly.

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.

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.
