Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in South 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.

Homeowners in South Miami 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.

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

South Miami is leafy and mostly single-family: mid-century ranch homes on generous lots under mature canopy, alongside renovated houses and newer custom builds.

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.

Bathroom remodels for South Miami houses and townhomes

In family homes around High Pines and Ponce-Davis, the hall bathroom usually gets the hardest use: kids, guests and daily showers. For that room, we tend to recommend porcelain tile, a solid-surface or quartz top, a tub that can take the abuse or a shower with a sturdy glass door, and an exhaust fan sized for the room. The goal is a bathroom that still looks clean after years of busy mornings.

Townhomes add one consideration: shared walls with neighbors. Tile demolition is loud, and plumbing on a shared wall needs care so nothing on the other side is disturbed. If your townhome community has an association, it may want notice before work starts and may set rules for parking work vehicles. We work within those rules and keep the driveway and entry clear each evening.

How a bathroom remodel works with Gold Hands

  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 South Miami building department (or Miami-Dade County for unincorporated pockets such as High Pines and Ponce-Davis), 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.

What sets the timeline for your bathroom

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 South Miami — 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 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.

How long will my bathroom remodel take?

It depends on scope, permits and materials. A cosmetic refresh on the existing layout is usually a matter of days. A shower rebuild takes longer because waterproofing, tile and glass each need their own time, and a full remodel with permits runs longer still, mostly because of permit review, inspections and special-order lead times. Your written schedule spells it out before work starts.
