Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami Lakes
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Lakes typically runs $10,620 – $33,040, with small bathroom remodels landing between $5,900 and $14,160. The price depends on whether your home still has original cast-iron drains from the 1970s, what waterproofing system you choose, and which fixtures you pick. We’re Sawyer Remodeling, and we’ve worked in enough Miami Lakes homes to know exactly what’s behind those walls before we quote. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Miami Lakes’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Miami Lakes homeowners don’t have time for contractors who quote low and change the number after demo. That’s why Sawyer Remodeling operates under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work starts, live arrival time tracking, and before-and-after photo updates on every job. Our owner, Luca Romano, set the standard in 2005, and it hasn’t moved since.
Our crews know the difference between a 1970s split-level off Miami Lakes Drive and a newer build near Graham Dairy Lake. That matters when we’re scoping a shower pan or checking whether your joists can handle a freestanding tub. We stock the parts Miami Lakes homes actually need, from Schluter waterproofing to PVC rough-in fittings, so we’re not waiting on a supply house in Hialeah mid-project.
Every technician who walks into your home is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s coming before they arrive, and you’ll get photo updates as the work progresses. If something isn’t done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right, in writing, for a full year after the project closes.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Renovation in Miami Lakes
Bathroom Renovation in Miami Lakes often means more than new tile and a vanity: it means opening a wall and finding out what the original builder left behind. Miami Lakes was platted as a planned community on former dairy land, and a large share of its housing stock went up between the late 1960s and the 1990s. That means original cast-iron drain lines, undersized 2×6 framing, and subfloors that have been soaking up slow leaks for decades. A real renovation here is a gut-and-rebuild, and the cost should reflect that from day one.
What Full-Scope Renovation Covers
A full Bathroom Remodeling project with us includes demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile or shower system installation, vanity and fixture setting, and finish trim. We pull the Town of Miami Lakes permit before demo starts and schedule inspections as the work progresses. That means the rough-in gets signed off before any drywall or tile covers it.
Renovation Cost in Miami Lakes
Most full renovations in Miami Lakes land between $10,620 and $33,040. The spread comes down to what we find when the walls open, what size the bathroom is, and whether you’re selecting a prefab shower or a custom tiled one. We write the price before we start, and if something hidden changes the scope, it goes through as a written change order you approve first.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Miami Lakes
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Miami Lakes usually involves a hall bath, a guest bathroom, or a compact bath in a 1970s ranch. These rooms run 35 to 50 square feet, but they still carry the same older plumbing and framing risks as larger baths. For the square footage, you can expect to spend between $5,900 and $14,160 depending on whether we’re replacing the tub, keeping the existing layout, or moving the toilet rough-in.
What Changes the Small Bathroom Price
The biggest cost driver in a small bathroom is hidden plumbing. If the original cast-iron drain is still in place and we can reconnect to it, you’ll save. If it’s scaled shut or cracked – which we see regularly in the Lake Patricia and Miami Lakes West areas – you’re replacing it with PVC before any finish work starts. The second driver is tile: a standard 4×4 ceramic is far less than a large-format porcelain with Schluter edge trim at every transition.
Workable Small Bath Configurations
We do a lot of tub-to-shower conversions in these smaller baths because it frees up floor space and gives you a usable shower without changing the footprint. A standard tub-to-shower conversion in Miami Lakes runs $4,130 – $11,800. Pair that with a floating vanity and a frameless glass panel, and a 40-square-foot bathroom feels twice its size.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Lakes
We install and service fixtures and surfaces from Kohler, Moen, Grohe, Cambria, Silestone, Caesarstone, and KraftMaid. For Miami Lakes homeowners doing a modern spec or an ADU, we also work with names like Dvele and Cover when the project calls for panelized or system-built components. We keep common replacement parts stocked locally so a vanity swap or shower valve replacement in Miami Lakes doesn’t sit waiting on a truck from out of state. If a Kohler cartridge fails a month after install, we’re back out fast with the part on hand.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Lakes Homes
- Original cast-iron drain lines: Homes built between the late 1960s and 1990s in the planned sections of Miami Lakes routinely have cast-iron drains that have scaled or corroded internally. The outside looks fine; the inside flow is down to a pencil-width.
- Rotted subfloor around the toilet flange: Slow, silent leaks from old wax rings eat through plywood over decades. We find soft spots under the tile in probably one out of three bathrooms we open.
- Undersized 2×6 framing: Older Miami Lakes homes were framed tighter than modern code. Installing a heavy freestanding tub or a large-format tile wall often requires sistering joists or adding blocking first.
- Unpermitted past work: A previous owner “updated” the bath without a Town of Miami Lakes permit. Now the rough-in isn’t inspected, and a buyer’s inspector will flag it at sale. We bring it up to current code and close the permit properly.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Lakes
Yes, any bathroom remodel in Miami Lakes that changes plumbing, electrical, or structural framing requires a permit from the Town of Miami Lakes. We pull the permit, schedule the rough-in inspection, and close it out with the final inspection before we hand the room back. Skipping the permit means unpermitted rough-in that a future buyer’s inspector will flag during sale. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll walk you through what’s required.
Because the original estimate was built off a walkthrough that never opened the wall. In Miami Lakes, we regularly find cast-iron drain corrosion and rotted subfloor that only appear after demo. With Sawyer Remodeling, any added work like that goes through as a written change order with a specific dollar amount before we proceed. You’ll never pay a surprise overage we didn’t put in writing first. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free estimate that accounts for what’s actually behind your walls.
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Lakes typically takes 3 to 6 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on whether drain replacement or joist sistering is required. Small bathroom remodels and tub-to-shower conversions usually run 1 to 3 weeks. We give you a calendar in the written estimate, and photo updates come through before and after each major phase. Call (254) 272-5876 to get a timeline for your specific bathroom.

At minimum: the complete scope of work, line-item pricing, the payment schedule, the permit and inspection plan, the workmanship warranty, and the exact fixtures and materials being installed. We put all of that in writing before a single tool is picked up, and we back it with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll send you an estimate you can actually read.
In the Lake Patricia area we tore out a 1970s hall bath where the original cast-iron drain had scaled shut and the subfloor had soft spots around the toilet flange; we re-ran the rough-in in PVC, sistered the joists, and set a Kohler Wellworth toilet with a KraftMaid vanity topped in Silestone. The homeowner had budgeted from a big-box estimate, so the added drain and framing work went through as a written change order before we touched anything. That’s how we work in Miami Lakes.
