Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Sweetwater, FL — from a hall-bath refresh with a new vanity and toilet to a full gut with a tiled walk-in shower. We work across Miami-Dade County and price each bathroom as its own project. Text photos and measurements to (786) 788-8714 or send them on WhatsApp, and we return a free estimate built from what you sent.

Homeowners in Sweetwater 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.

Landlord bathrooms: durable, practical, easy to clean

Sweetwater sits beside FIU's main campus: concrete-block stucco homes on modest lots mixed with condo and apartment communities, with a good share of rentals and steady turnover.

Investors with several units near campuses and in rental-heavy blocks around the FIU edge and Tamiami often want one standard bathroom package: the same vanity, tile, fixtures and paint color in every unit. That makes repairs predictable and lets us order materials efficiently. We can price a standard package once, then adjust for the differences between units based on your photos. When a tenant breaks something, the replacement part is already known.

Photos and WhatsApp updates work well for owners who are not local. We send pictures before demolition, at the waterproofing stage and when the bathroom is finished, so you can see what was done without driving over. Anything that would require a permit, like moving fixtures or adding outlets, goes through our general contractor partner and is listed separately in the estimate.

Updating builder-grade bathrooms in Sweetwater

Concrete-block houses and townhomes built from the 1960s through the 1990s in Sweetwater 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. 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 Sweetwater building department (or Miami-Dade County for unincorporated Tamiami addresses), 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

Hurricane season, June 1 through November 30, can shift a schedule. When a storm threatens, we secure the job and pause, and after a storm materials and inspections can run slower across South Florida. Planning a remodel for the drier months avoids some of that, but plenty of bathrooms are finished in summer too; we simply build some slack into the plan and keep you informed.

Bathroom Remodeling in Sweetwater — questions we get asked

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.

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.

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.

Does hurricane season affect my remodel?

It can. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. If a storm threatens, we secure the work area and pause, and we avoid leaving you without a working bathroom right before a forecast storm. Afterward, material deliveries and inspections may slow down across South Florida. We build some room into the schedule and keep you informed by text.

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.
