Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Kendall West
A full bathroom remodel in Kendall West typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000, with most projects taking two to four weeks from permit approval to final inspection. Because Kendall West sits at the western edge of Miami-Dade County directly against the Everglades, every bathroom slab and shower pan here faces waterproofing demands that eastern suburbs simply don’t encounter, plus the strictest wind-load code in the country. Call (949) 850-9896 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Our crews serve Kendall West from our Miami office, and we know the local permit corridor well. Homes here are mostly CBS construction from the 1980s through the early 2000s, many in gated communities like Country Walk and Kendale Lakes West. The water table sits 18 – 24 inches below grade. Soils stay saturated for days after storms. And every product that goes into an exterior wall needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We build for those conditions, not against them.

Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Kendall West
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor work in Kendall West means building wet assemblies that survive an 18 – 24-inch water table and exterior openings that satisfy High-Velocity Hurricane Zone inspection. A typical full bathroom remodel here runs $9,000 – $28,000. Small bathroom remodels run $5,000 – $12,000. The price includes permit fees, NOA-listed materials, and draw-schedule milestones tied to inspection sign-offs. Cheap quotes that omit any of these three items usually collapse once the inspector flags the assembly.
Most Kendall West bathrooms we’re remodeling now are in 20 – 40-year-old tract homes hitting their first major renovation cycle. Original construction often used shower pans without continuously bonded waterproofing membranes, and exterior windows lacked impact ratings. We open the walls, address what’s there, and rebuild to current Miami-Dade code.
Permits and Inspection Milestones
Every bathroom remodel in Kendall West requires a Miami-Dade building permit. We handle the application, the plan review, and the scheduled inspections. Our quotes include permit fees and draw-schedule milestones tied to rough-in, waterproofing, and final sign-off. You know the cost before we start, and you know when each payment is due based on verified progress.
Product Sourcing and NOA Verification
We source cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria and Silestone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. Every exterior window, door, and structural connector carries a verified Miami-Dade NOA number. We don’t guess. We check the product approval database before the order goes in.
Walk In Shower in Kendall West
Walk In Shower installation in Kendall West demands the same waterproofing rigor as any full remodel, with added attention to drainage when the water table sits just below your slab. A typical walk-in shower installation here runs $4,500 – $12,000. Tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500 – $10,000. Shower replacements run $3,000 – $8,500. The price includes a bonded waterproofing membrane, proper slope to the drain, and NOA-listed impact glazing if the shower shares a wall with an exterior opening.
We see a lot of failed shower pans in Kendall West. The original builders didn’t always install continuous waterproofing, and the saturated soils here don’t forgive that shortcut. Our crews strip to the slab, assess for concrete spalling or rebar corrosion, rebuild with Schluter or equivalent bonded membranes, and document the assembly for your records.
Accessible and Aging-in-Place Options
Many Kendall West families are remodeling parents’ bathrooms for accessibility. We install zero-threshold entries, grab-bar blocking, and handheld fixtures. Every choice is specified in the written price before work starts. No surprises after demolition.
Frameless Glass and Enclosure Choices
Frameless glass shower enclosures look clean and open up smaller bathrooms. We specify tempered, code-compliant glass with proper anchoring into the waterproofed substrate. The hardware and sealants are selected for Miami-Dade humidity and salt-air exposure.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West
We install cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. For waterproofing and tile backing, we use Schluter systems. Every product carries a manufacturer warranty you can verify independently, and every exterior-facing product carries a Miami-Dade NOA you can cross-check in the county database. We stock common parts and maintain relationships with local distributors who keep NOA-approved schedules on hand, so we don’t face the delays that out-of-area contractors hit when their national supplier ships non-compliant product.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- Shower pans built without bonded waterproofing membranes. The original 1980s – 2000s construction in neighborhoods like Country Walk often used conventional pan liners without a continuous bonded membrane. When the water table sits 18 – 24 inches below grade and soils stay saturated for days, that assembly fails. We strip to the slab and rebuild with Schluter or equivalent bonded systems.
- Non-NOA exterior windows and doors installed during previous remodels. Miami-Dade’s HVHZ requires every window, door, and structural connector to carry a county-specific Notice of Acceptance. Contractors who source from national suppliers without verifying NOA numbers face inspection failure and mandatory tear-out. We verify every number before ordering.
- Concrete spalling and rebar corrosion at wet walls. The saturated soils and salt air at Kendall West’s Everglades edge accelerate deterioration behind failed waterproofing. We address this during demolition rather than covering it with new tile.
- Cheap quotes that omit impact-rated glazing, permit fees, and draw-schedule milestones. These quotes look attractive until the inspector flags the assembly and the homeowner faces a costly change order. Our written price includes all three from day one.

What moves a Kendall West bathroom project within these ranges? Three things: the condition of what’s behind the existing walls, the NOA-rated products you select for any exterior opening, and the permit and inspection path your home requires. A 1990s CBS home with a failed pan, corroded rebar, and a non-compliant window needs more than a cosmetic refresh. We assess during your free estimate and give you a written price that includes every line item. No change orders once the crew arrives. Call (949) 850-9896 to schedule yours.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Kendall West
Yes. Every bathroom remodel in Miami-Dade County requires a building permit, and Kendall West falls under the county’s jurisdiction. We handle the application, plan review, and scheduled inspections as part of our standard process. Call (949) 850-9896 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through the permit timeline for your specific project.
The tile is rarely the main cost driver. Quotes diverge based on what’s behind the walls, whether the quote includes permit fees and inspection milestones, and whether exterior windows and doors carry Miami-Dade NOA approval. A cheap quote often omits one or more of these, then hits you with change orders. Our written price includes all three from the start. Call (949) 850-9896 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
No. Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requires every window to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, which is stricter than Florida’s statewide approval. National suppliers often stock products without NOA numbers. We verify every product in the county database before ordering. Call (949) 850-9896 to discuss your window replacement.
Yes. The 18 – 24-inch water table in Kendall West means your shower pan is effectively a below-grade wet assembly. Without a continuously bonded waterproofing membrane and proper drainage detailing, moisture migrates through the slab and damages the structure. We build for this condition specifically. Call (949) 850-9896 for a free estimate on your walk-in shower.
Yes, positively. Insurers increasingly require proof of code-compliant construction for wind and flood coverage in Miami-Dade. We document every HVHZ-compliant assembly and inspection sign-off, giving you a clean paper trail for your policy review or claim. Call (949) 850-9896 to discuss how we document compliance on your project.
Our crew was called to a 1990s CBS home off SW 147th Avenue in the Country Walk area after the original shower pan failed and stucco on the exterior wall showed delamination from chronic moisture. We stripped the pan to the slab, addressed rebar corrosion and concrete spalling at the wet wall, rebuilt the pan with a bonded waterproofing membrane, and set a Kohler fixture package behind a new impact-rated, NOA-listed window. Because the wall was opened for the rough-in, we documented the HVHZ-compliant assembly and inspection sign-off so the homeowner had a clean paper trail for their insurer.
