Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across South Miami
A full bathroom remodel in South Miami typically runs $10,620-$33,040, with most projects taking 3-6 weeks from permit pull to final inspection. We’re Rowan Construction Group Miami, and our crews work the mid-century CBS ranch homes that define this city’s neighborhoods - from the streets off Sunset Drive through the residential blocks near Dante Fascell Park. If you’re planning a bathroom renovation, call (786) 321-4970 and we’ll deliver a written, line-item quote before anyone picks up a tool.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but our technicians live in the South Miami metro and know the local building department’s process firsthand. That matters here more than in most Florida cities, because South Miami is its own incorporated municipality with its own permitting authority - not Miami-Dade County. Contractors who miss that distinction often find themselves mid-project with the wrong permits and a stalled job.
Why Rowan Construction Group Miami Is South Miami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered more than 4,000 projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. In South Miami specifically, that discipline means something extra: we know to pull bathroom remodel permits through the City of South Miami’s building department, not the county office on NW 1st Street, and we scope every pre-1975 home for the HVHZ envelope upgrades that get triggered once walls open.
Our South Miami customers find us the way most do now - they read the three-star reviews, look for the price range on the page, and want a text confirmation of their appointment time. We answer calls with a live person 24/7, send background-checked and uniformed technicians, and include the photo documentation as standard, not an upgrade. The 365-Day Done Right Promise, backed by The Haven Standard, is printed on every contract - not an asterisk, a terms page.
Response time to South Miami neighborhoods is typically same-week for estimates, with permits pulled within days of signed agreement. We know the inspectors by name, the inspection schedule, and which days the city’s building department closes for training.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in South Miami

Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut renovation of a South Miami bathroom starts with understanding what the house is. Most of the city’s housing stock - the single-story CBS ranches along SW 72nd Street, the 1960s homes near South Miami Middle School, the 1970s builds off Red Road - predates Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew HVHZ codes. Once we open walls, we regularly find wood-fascia rot around original jalousie window openings and stucco delamination from decades of subtropical humidity. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, we put those findings in writing with photos before we proceed. A full bathroom remodel in South Miami runs $10,620-$33,040, and we scope the envelope upgrades upfront so the number you agree to stays within a few percent of the number you pay.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation is our most requested bathroom upgrade in South Miami, particularly in the original 1950s-60s ranches where the existing tub-shower combo sits against an exterior wall with a jalousie window. That detail matters. Replacing that window with a Miami-Dade-approved impact-rated unit is often mandatory once the wall is opened, and the rough-in inspection must be signed off before we close the walls with tile. We install frameless glass shower enclosures, Schluter waterproofing systems, and Toto fixtures - all sourced from our fifty-plus vetted brand list so the written quote reflects honest numbers, not inflated allowances. A walk-in shower installation in South Miami costs $5,310-$14,160.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in a South Miami ranch requires the same HVHZ awareness as a full walk-in install, but with added attention to the subfloor. The original cast-iron or steel tubs in these homes often sat on wood framing that has absorbed decades of humidity and occasional leakage. We don’t guess at subfloor condition - we photo-document it during demo and put the finding in writing. If replacement is needed, it’s a signed change order before the new work proceeds. That’s the administrative discipline Haven acquired Rowan for, and it’s why our projects finish on budget. Tub-to-shower conversion in South Miami runs $4,130-$11,800.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in South Miami starts at $945 and runs to $3,540, depending on whether we’re replacing a stock unit or installing a custom KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinet with stone countertop. We source Cambria and Caesarstone for South Miami customers, with lead times that vary by color and slab availability. Tile work - floor, shower surround, or accent wall - is scoped by square footage, substrate condition, and pattern complexity. We use Schluter Ditra underlayment on floors where the original slab has cracked or settled, common in the 1960s-70s builds on the east side of town near US-1.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in South Miami
We maintain sourcing relationships with more than fifty vetted material brands, which means South Miami customers get honest numbers in their written quotes rather than inflated allowances. For bathroom work, we regularly specify Delta and American Standard fixtures for their parts availability and warranty support in the Miami metro; Toto for water-efficient toilets and bidet seats; and Schluter for waterproofing membranes and shower systems. We stock common repair parts locally, so a leaking valve or failed cartridge doesn’t turn into a two-week wait. Every brand name in your quote is the actual brand going in - no “or equivalent” substitutions without a signed change order.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in South Miami Homes

- Permits pulled through the wrong jurisdiction. Contractors accustomed to unincorporated Miami-Dade sometimes file with the county, only to discover mid-project that the City of South Miami requires its own plan review and inspection sequence. We pull every South Miami permit through the city’s building department on Sunset Drive from day one.
- HVHZ envelope upgrades triggered by wall openings. A bathroom remodel on a pre-1975 CBS ranch often requires Miami-Dade-approved impact windows, upgraded wind-load connections, or both. We scope these before quoting, not after demo surprises the homeowner.
- Hidden humidity damage around original window openings. Jalousie and single-pane windows in South Miami’s mid-century homes create concentrated moisture paths into wood fascia and subfloor. Our demo protocol includes photo documentation of these areas so you see what we see before we write the repair scope.
- Allowances treated as informal placeholders. Most remodel disputes start with an allowance that wasn’t specified in writing. Under the Haven Standard, every allowance is a written line item with a brand name, model number, or square-footage basis - never a round number with no definition.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in South Miami

Two factors: city-versus-county permitting fees and HVHZ envelope upgrades on pre-1975 homes. South Miami’s separate building department adds its own plan review and inspection sequence, and the city’s mid-century CBS ranches trigger mandatory impact-window and wind-load upgrades that unincorporated Miami-Dade properties of the same age often avoid. We scope both before quoting so the number is accurate. Call (786) 321-4970 for a written estimate - they’re free.
The City of South Miami. Every bathroom remodel permit must be pulled through the city’s own building department on Sunset Drive, not the county office. Contractors who file with Miami-Dade County discover the error mid-project and face delays while they re-file. We pull South Miami permits correctly from day one. Call (786) 321-4970 and we’ll confirm the permit timeline for your specific project.
Often yes, if the work opens an exterior wall that contains a non-impact window. The HVHZ designation applies to the entire city, and any structural modification to a pre-Andrew home typically triggers opening-protection upgrades. We inspect for this during our initial site visit and include the requirement in the written scope if applicable. Call (786) 321-4970 for an assessment of your specific window locations.
We specify moisture-resistant materials as standard: Schluter waterproofing membranes in wet areas, cement-board substrates instead of greenboard, and mold-resistant primer on any exposed framing. We also photo-document humidity damage during demo - stucco delamination, wood-fascia rot, subfloor staining - and put repair findings in writing before proceeding. The subtropical climate isn’t an excuse for shortcuts; it’s a specification we build to. Call (786) 321-4970 to discuss material selections for your project.
Five things: a flat total price, a line-item scope of work with brand names and model numbers, a permit-pull responsibility clause, a written change-order policy (no work proceeds without a signed revision), and the 365-Day Done Right Promise with its terms-page reference. Under the Haven Standard, Clause 1 is the written price before any work starts; Clause 2 is the signed change order for any deviation. We provide all five on every South Miami project. Call (786) 321-4970 to receive your written quote.
