Why Rowan Construction Group Miami Is Miami Shores’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered bathroom remodeling in Miami Shores long enough to know the difference between a Miami-Dade HVHZ permit and a village ARB certificate - and why confusing the two can cost a homeowner six weeks and a tear-out. Our Bathroom Remodeling team has walked the ARB submittal process for dozens of projects, from stucco color matching on NE 96th Street to impact window sizing in the historic district.
Our reviews from Miami Shores customers consistently cite two things: the photo documentation they received at every visit, and the fact that the final invoice landed within a few percent of the written quote they signed on day one. That predictability comes from The Haven Standard, the operating discipline we’ve used since 2007. Under Clause 1, the price is written before anyone starts. Under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, if it’s not done right, we make it right - backed by terms, not a handshake.
A live person answers our phones 24/7. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. And every visit produces a documented photo record - included as standard, not an upgrade. For a homeowner in Miami Shores who bought high between 2015 and 2025 and is now investing in equity, that paper trail matters.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Miami Shores
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Shores means working within walls that are often stucco-over-masonry or oolite block, with plumbing rough-ins dating to the 1940s or 1950s. We gut to substrate, replace supply and drain lines where galvanized steel has thinned, and rebuild with modern waterproofing - Schluter-Kerdi membrane behind tile, vapor barriers suited to Miami’s humidity, and exhaust venting that actually moves air. If the scope touches an exterior window or door, we file the ARB submittal in-house and sequence the HVHZ permit so neither sits idle. Typical range: $10,620-$33,040.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation is our most requested bathroom upgrade in Miami Shores, especially among homeowners aging in place in the village’s original 1920s-1950s stock. We frame curbless entries where floor structure allows, install linear drains with proper slope, and specify frameless glass enclosures that meet HVHZ wind-load requirements if they face an exterior wall. The waterproofing is critical here - Miami’s driving rain and the ARB’s strict aesthetic standards mean we can’t hide sloppy membrane work behind trim. A walk-in shower install runs $5,310-$14,160; tub-to-shower conversions start at $4,130.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Removing a cast-iron tub in a Miami Shores bathroom often reveals floor joists or concrete slabs that have settled differently than modern specs allow. We assess structure before quoting, not after demo, and we specify the shower base accordingly - Schluter pre-sloped trays where we can, custom mortar beds where the existing slab demands it. The ARB doesn’t typically review interior-only tub swaps, but if your bathroom window gets touched, the dual-approval sequence applies. Conversions range $4,130-$11,800.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We source vanities and fixtures through fifty-plus vetted brands - Kohler and Toto for fixtures, Cambria and Caesarstone for vanity tops, KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry. In Miami Shores, the ARB’s color and material palette can restrict exterior-facing choices, but interior selections are generally flexible. We order nothing until the ARB certificate is issued if the project touches the envelope. That discipline has saved our customers from the $3,000-$8,000 mistake of installing non-approved tile or glass, then learning it doesn’t match the submittal. Vanity installation alone runs $945-$3,540.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores
We stock and install Delta, American Standard, and Toto fixtures for Miami Shores customers, with local supply-house relationships that keep lead times short even when HVHZ-rated or impact-resistant SKUs are backordered nationally. For tile setting, we specify Schluter waterproofing systems - the membrane, the drain assemblies, the prefabricated niches - because Miami’s humidity and the village’s tight building envelopes demand redundancy. We don’t drop-ship mystery brands to hit a price point; the quote names the manufacturer, the model, and the finish, so you can screenshot it and compare.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes
- Galvanized steel supply lines behind original plaster. Homes built before 1960 in Miami Shores often have supply piping that’s reached end of life. We replace with PEX or copper during rough-in, but only after pressure-testing to document the failure - the photo record goes to you, not just the inspector.
- Stucco moisture intrusion around original window penetrations. Miami’s humidity and driving rain find every crack in aging stucco. When we replace a bathroom window, we install proper sill pans, flash to the WRB, and seal with HVHZ-approved methods - then document the layers before closing up.
- ARB sequencing traps on exterior changes. We’ve been called in after out-of-village contractors installed impact windows with a Miami-Dade permit but no ARB certificate. The fix is expensive: pull the ARB submittal retroactively, hope the installed product matches the palette, or tear out and start over. We file both tracks upfront.
- Oolite or masonry walls that won’t accept standard anchor patterns. The coral rock construction in some Miami Shores homes requires masonry-specific fasteners and often custom blocking for grab bars, vanities, and glass enclosures. We assess substrate during the estimate visit, not when the tile is stacked in the hallway.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Shores
Only if the scope changes the exterior envelope - replacing a window, adding a vent penetration, or altering a door. Pure interior work like tub swaps, vanity replacement, or tile updates inside existing walls generally does not require ARB review. We assess this during your estimate and file the appropriate submittals in-house if needed. Call (786) 321-4970 and we’ll flag any ARB trigger before you sign.
Typically 3-6 weeks at the front end of the project, running in parallel with Miami-Dade HVHZ plan review. We don’t schedule demolition or material delivery until both certificates are in hand, so nothing sits half-finished waiting on a committee. The calendar we give you at contract signing accounts for this - no surprises, no idle crews. Call (786) 321-4970 for a timeline specific to your scope.
Yes, but it requires dual approval: the ARB certificate for aesthetic compliance and the Miami-Dade HVHZ permit for wind-load and impact rating. We specify bronze or white-framed impact units that match the stucco reveal and file both submittals simultaneously. On a 1948 Mediterranean Revival on NE 96th Street, our crew found an unpermitted window replacement from a prior owner, pulled the ARB submittal in-house, matched a bronze-framed impact unit to the existing reveal, and sequenced both approvals so demolition and rough-in never sat idle. Call (786) 321-4970 to discuss your window scope.
The dual-approval sequence adds administrative time, and the village’s historic housing stock - stucco-over-masonry, oolite block, original clay barrel-tile roofs - often requires structural assessment and specialized fastening that newer construction doesn’t. HVHZ-rated materials also carry a premium over standard-grade products. The range we quote reflects real local conditions, not padding. Call (786) 321-4970 for a line-item written quote you can compare.
We don’t start demolition until both ARB and HVHZ approvals are issued, so your existing bathroom stays fully functional during the 3-6 week review period. If the project is a second bath or guest bath, this is straightforward. If it’s your only bathroom, we discuss phased scheduling during the estimate - rough-in and finish in compressed sequence once permits clear, with a temporary shower or neighbor coordination if needed. Call (786) 321-4970 and we’ll walk through the logistics for your specific home.
