AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Coral Gables
Bathroom remodeling in Coral Gables runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with walk-in shower installations starting around $4,500 and tub-to-shower conversions from $3,500. Every project here carries an extra layer of review: the city’s Board of Architects must approve exterior elements for Mediterranean Revival compatibility before permits issue, and every window, glass enclosure, and structural component needs Miami-Dade NOA certification for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. We’re the Bathroom Remodeling team that builds that dual-approval timeline into every quote. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Rowan Construction Group Miami Is Coral Gables’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered 4,000-plus projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. Our dispatch and scheduling run from our South Florida office, and crews serve Coral Gables neighborhoods including Granada, the Village of Merrick Park area, and the streets around Miracle Mile with local knowledge that saves weeks on the calendar.
Coral Gables homeowners research contractors the way they research appliances. They read the three-star reviews. They want the price range on the page before they make contact.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Coral Gables
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Coral Gables means navigating two approval gates: Board of Architects review for exterior compatibility, and Miami-Dade building department sign-off for HVHZ compliance. We handle both. Our quotes include the architectural-review buffer, typically four to eight weeks, so you’re not surprised by a timeline your neighbor in Miami never had to consider. For a complete gut renovation, expect $9,000-$28,000 depending on fixture grade, tile scope, and whether we’re working with original Miami oolitic limestone that needs specialist anchoring.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in shower installation in Coral Gables runs $4,500-$12,000. The glass enclosure must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for wind uplift and impact resistance, even on interior walls, because the HVHZ designation applies to the full structure. We source Schluter waterproofing membranes and Kohler or Toto fixtures with verified NOA numbers, and we document every certification for your permit file. In a city where the wrong barrel tile profile has triggered Board rejection, we don’t guess at compliance.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in Coral Gables costs $3,500-$10,000. The work often opens the subfloor, and here’s where Coral Gables geography matters: the shallow limestone aquifer sits two to four feet down. We’ve seen contractors hit standing groundwater during subfloor prep, fail to dewater properly, and watch the rough-in inspection fail with moisture readings that won’t clear. We test substrate conditions before demolition and specify membrane and drainage systems rated for the local hydrostatic pressure.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation runs $800-$3,000 in Coral Gables, with tile and fixture packages scaling from there. We work with fifty-plus vetted brands including Delta, American Standard, and Toto, giving the written quote honest numbers rather than inflated ones. For historic properties near the Granada neighborhood or the original Merrick developments, we source period-compatible tile profiles and can match existing coral rock or Cuban tile patterns through our network of South Florida specialty suppliers.

We stock and install Delta, American Standard, and Toto fixtures with local parts availability for Coral Gables customers, which means faster turnaround when a valve body or cartridge needs swapping during a renovation. For waterproofing and tile prep, we specify Schluter membranes with documented performance data. Every product carries a Miami-Dade NOA where HVHZ compliance applies, and we keep those certification numbers in your project file for inspector reference. No chasing down paperwork after the fact.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Coral Gables Homes
- Board of Architects stop-work orders. A contractor skips the mandatory design review for a new exterior window or ventilation penetration, thinking it’s just a bathroom permit. The inspector flags it, work halts, and the redesign adds four to eight weeks. We submit to the Board before the first permit application.
- Non-HVHZ glass failing inspection. A frameless shower enclosure looks identical whether it’s rated for hurricane zones or not. But unrated glass fails sign-off in Coral Gables and can void wind coverage on your insurance claim. We verify every NOA number and keep copies in your documentation packet.
- Limestone wall failures from standard anchors. In the oldest sections near Granada and the Village of Merrick Park, walls are Miami oolitic limestone, porous and structurally irregular. Standard masonry anchors crumble the stone. We core and grout stainless steel inserts with historic masonry specialists, then hang vanities and enclosures that stay put.
- Groundwater intrusion during subfloor work. The shallow aquifer means any excavation below grade level risks hitting water. Without proper dewatering and membrane specification, you get a failed rough-in and a delayed project. We test and specify before we cut.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Coral Gables
Yes, if the work includes any exterior element such as a window, glass enclosure visible from the street, or ventilation penetration. The Board reviews for Mediterranean Revival compatibility before Miami-Dade will issue a building permit. We build this four-to-eight-week review into every Coral Gables timeline and handle the submission ourselves. Call (786) 321-4970 and we’ll confirm whether your specific scope triggers Board review.
Every glass component must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, verifying wind uplift and impact resistance. This applies even to interior shower enclosures because the HVHZ designation covers the full structure. We verify NOA numbers on every panel and keep certification copies in your project file. Non-compliant glass fails inspection and can void your wind coverage.
A fully permitted and inspected remodel with documented HVHZ compliance supports your claim if wind damage occurs later; unpermitted work or non-compliant materials give insurers grounds to deny. Our crews document every phase with photos, keep all NOA certifications, and pass inspection sign-off before final payment. You receive the full documentation packet for your records. Call (786) 321-4970 to discuss how we protect your coverage.
Yes, through our network of South Florida specialty suppliers we can source period-compatible Cuban tile, coral rock accents, and Mediterranean Revival profiles that satisfy Board of Architects review. We recently remodeled a 1940s bathroom in the Granada neighborhood where original walls were Miami oolitic limestone. Standard anchors crumbled the stone, so we worked with a historic masonry specialist to core and grout stainless steel inserts before hanging a frameless glass enclosure and a KraftMaid vanity. The job passed inspection sign-off on the first try because we had pulled permits and used only HVHZ-rated glass and impact-rated windows approved by the Board of Architects.
The spread reflects three factors specific to this market: Board of Architects submission and revision cycles that inexperienced contractors underestimate; HVHZ-compliant materials that cost more than standard-grade equivalents; and historic substrate conditions, especially limestone walls, that require specialist labor. A low quote often omits one or more of these. Our written scope names every compliance step and every material spec so you can compare apples to apples. Call (786) 321-4970 for a line-item quote you can screenshot and compare.
