We know the homes here. The concrete-block ranches and split-levels built between the late 1960s and mid-1990s, many sitting on slab foundations poured over weak marl soils just 18 – 24 inches above the water table. When we open a bathroom wall in Westwood Lakes, we expect to find conditions that don’t exist in higher-elevation parts of Miami-Dade. That’s why our quotes include written allowances for hidden damage, and why we pull permits before we touch a single tile.

Tub to Shower Conversion in Westwood Lakes

Tub to Shower Conversion in Westwood Lakes is one of our most requested projects, especially in the older concrete-block homes where the original tub has become a daily climb families no longer want to manage. In Westwood Lakes, this job typically costs $3,500 – $10,000, though we’ve seen it climb higher when demo reveals the saturated subfloor or corroded cast-iron drain that the shallow water table here accelerates. The conversion removes the existing tub, reworks the drain for a shower pan, installs waterproofing to Miami-Dade’s strict post-Andrew standards, and finishes with tile or a solid surround.

Drain and Subfloor Repairs We Plan For

On a 1978 concrete-block ranch off SW 132nd Avenue in Westwood Lakes, our crew opened the tub wall of a hall bath and found the subfloor delaminated and the flange of the old cast-iron drain corroded to the point of crumbling, both hidden until demo day. Because we’d written allowances for unforeseen subfloor and drain repairs into the contract and had already pulled permits, our licensed plumber re-roughed the drain and reset the Kohler tub-to-shower conversion without a surprise change order holding up the draw schedule.

Wind-Load and Code Compliance

Every tub-to-shower conversion we do in Westwood Lakes uses impact-rated or properly flashed openings where the bathroom has an exterior wall. Miami-Dade’s wind-resistance code doesn’t relax for interior rooms. If your home was built before 1992, we inspect the roof-to-wall connection before we finalize scope, because the county will.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood Lakes

Our Westwood Lakes bathroom remodels use cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria and Silestone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. We specify Schluter waterproofing membranes and James Hardie backer board where tile is going up. These are brands you can research independently, with warranties that travel with your project. We don’t stock off-brand parts that disappear when you need a matching trim kit in three years. For families in Westwood Lakes who plan to stay in their homes, that parts availability matters.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Westwood Lakes Homes

• Saturated subfloors from the shallow water table. Demo frequently exposes spongy, delaminated plywood or OSB within a foot of the drain, where years of slow leaks met soil moisture wicking up through the slab. We write subfloor replacement allowances into every Westwood Lakes contract.
• Failed waterproofing membranes under original tile. The hot, humid climate here accelerates membrane degradation. Once we open the wall, we often find the pan has been leaking into the wall cavity for years, requiring a full rebuild before new tile goes down.
• Pre-1992 framing and roof sheathing that won’t pass inspection. Opening a bathroom for permitted work triggers Miami-Dade’s full code review. Original roof sheathing nailed at 6-inch spacing instead of the post-Andrew 6/6 pattern forces a full roof re-nail before the bathroom can be finaled, a condition out-of-county crews don’t encounter.
• Weak marl soils shifting slab-on-grade bathrooms. The muck soils under Westwood Lakes homes can move enough to crack a new shower pan or open grout joints within a season. We engineer for that with flexible pan systems and movement-joint placement that higher-elevation crews skip.
