Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in North Miami, 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.

In North Miami, a bathroom remodel usually means one of three jobs. The first is a cosmetic refresh: new vanity, toilet, mirror, lights and paint, keeping the layout as it is. The second is a shower rebuild, where the tub comes out and a tiled walk-in shower with a glass door goes in. The third is a full gut, down to the studs or block, which sometimes includes moving fixtures.

Tell us which of the three sounds closest and send photos to (786) 788-8714, by regular text or WhatsApp. Useful extras: the width and length of the room, the ceiling height, a photo of the shutoff valves under the sink, and pictures of any tile or vanity you already like. If you would rather talk it through in Spanish, just say so when you write.

Remodeling bathrooms in North Miami's older homes

North Miami is a settled, mostly single-family area with much of its housing from the 1940s and 1950s — terrazzo-floored ranch homes on gridded streets — plus Biscayne Park's large wooded lots and waterfront Keystone Point.

Houses built from the 1920s through the 1960s around Biscayne Park, Keystone Point and the Golden Glades edge 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.

What a North Miami bathroom remodel can include

Here is the work our crew handles directly; permitted plumbing, electrical and layout changes are coordinated through our general contractor partner.

Coastal bathroom remodels: salt air and humidity

Many coastal addresses in Miami-Dade County sit in flood zones. In those areas, a large remodel can draw extra review from the building department, which looks at the value of the work compared with the value of the building. The permit office can explain what applies to your address, and our general contractor partner handles that conversation for any permitted work, so it is worth raising early.

Ground-floor and lower-level bathrooms near the water also benefit from materials that tolerate moisture: porcelain tile instead of wood-look laminate, cement board instead of standard drywall in the wet areas, and vanities on legs or wall-hung instead of particleboard boxes sitting on the floor. If water has ever come in during a storm, tell us, because that changes what we recommend.

How a bathroom remodel works with Gold Hands

  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 North Miami building department (or the Village of Biscayne Park 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.

How long a bathroom remodel takes in North Miami

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 North Miami — 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.

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.

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.

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.
