Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Miami Gardens, 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 33055, 33056 and 33169 and the surrounding parts of Miami-Dade County.

Homeowners in Miami Gardens rarely call us because they want a bathroom that looks like a magazine. They call because the shower door no longer seals, the floor tile has cracked, the exhaust fan barely moves air, or a parent needs a safer way to bathe. We plan the remodel around those practical problems first, then help choose finishes that hold up to daily use and South Florida humidity.

To get an estimate, send pictures to (786) 788-8714 on WhatsApp or as a text message. Show us every wall of the bathroom, the ceiling around the fan, the floor near the toilet and any spot where you have seen water or soft drywall. Include rough measurements and a short note about what bothers you most. Spanish-speaking staff can take it from there if you prefer.

What we find behind the walls of older Miami Gardens bathrooms

Miami Gardens is mostly one-story single-family homes from the 1950s through the 1970s in long-established neighborhoods such as Bunche Park, Carol City and Norland.

Many older Miami Gardens 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.

Bathroom remodeling scope in Miami Gardens

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.

Updating builder-grade bathrooms in Miami Gardens

Concrete-block houses and townhomes built from the 1960s through the 1990s in Miami Gardens 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 Miami Gardens building department 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

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 Gardens — questions we get asked

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.

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 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.

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.

What if something fails after the remodel is finished?

Tell us. Send a photo or short video of the issue by text or WhatsApp, and we come back to look at it. If it is related to our work, we make it right. Because we photograph the waterproofing and the inside of the walls before closing them, we can usually see quickly what is behind a problem without tearing out new tile.
