Tub-to-Shower & Bath Remodels in North Miami Beach

Home › Bathroom Remodeling › North Miami Beach

Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in North Miami Beach, FL: we replace tubs with walk-in showers, retile floors and walls, install vanities, sinks and toilets, and update lights, fans and hardware for homes in 33162. Pricing is per project. You get a free estimate from the photos and measurements you send by phone or WhatsApp, and permitted plumbing or layout changes go through our general contractor partner.

Homeowners in North Miami Beach 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 North Miami Beach bathrooms

Despite the name, North Miami Beach is inland: mostly mid-century single-family subdivisions from the 1950s on, mixed with condo and apartment communities.

Houses built from the 1920s through the 1960s around the mid-century subdivisions and the condo communities 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.

Bathrooms in North Miami Beach villas and low-rise condos

Many owners in low-rise and villa communities live in the unit during the remodel, often with only one bathroom. We plan for that: the toilet is reset as early as possible, work is staged so water is off only when needed, and the crew cleans up every afternoon. If the job will leave you without a usable shower for a stretch, we tell you in the written schedule before we start.

These buildings tend to have smaller bathrooms with older tile, cultured-marble tops and narrow doors. Small changes make a big difference: a wider shower opening, a vanity with drawers instead of a deep cabinet, a comfort-height toilet, brighter lighting and a fan that clears steam. Where a doorway needs widening or plumbing has to move, that becomes permitted work through our general contractor partner.

From photos to finished bathroom: our process

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.
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.
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 Beach building department (or Miami-Dade County for the unincorporated pockets) before that part of the work begins.
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.
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.

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 North Miami Beach — 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.

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.

Do I need a permit to remodel my bathroom in North Miami Beach?

It depends on the work. Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits or changing the layout requires a building permit, and some jurisdictions also require one for certain replacements. When a permit applies, it is pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of North Miami Beach building department (or Miami-Dade County for the unincorporated pockets), and inspections are scheduled as the job progresses. The estimate tells you which parts of your project need it.

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.
