We know this area well because we work here constantly. The homes off SW 147th Avenue, along Hammocks Boulevard, and back toward Kendall Drive all present the same story: original bathrooms from the late 80s through early 2000s that are ready for replacement. The tile is failing, the tub surround is tired, and the vanity is too short for anyone over 5’6″. A bathroom remodel is the single best dollar-for-dollar upgrade you can make in a Hammocks home, and the process doesn’t have to feel like a second job. We scope it, price it, pull the permit, and run the crew.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is The Hammocks’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re the Bathroom Remodeling team that shows up with a written price, not a vague handshake. That has been the standard since Luca Romano started running jobs under the Sawyer name in 2005, and it’s still how every project runs today. The Relay Visibility Guarantee sits behind every job we take: a live arrival time, before-and-after photo updates, and a written scope of work with the price in ink before a single tool is unloaded.
The Hammocks customers list the same three things in every follow-up call: they want to know who’s coming, they want to know when they’re coming, and they want the number on the estimate to match the number on the final invoice. We run background-checked, uniformed technicians on every project, and our office answers the phone 24/7 with an actual person. If you call at 9pm because you have a question about the glass shower panel, someone answers.
Local knowledge matters here more than you’d think. A bathroom in a 1990s Hammocks house is not built the way a bathroom in Coral Gables or an older Miami block home is. The framing, drywall, drain lines, and waterproofing are all different, and if your remodeler doesn’t know that, you’ll pay for the education. We already paid for it.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in The Hammocks
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in The Hammocks range from one-truck handymen to full-service general contractors, and the difference shows up in the permit binder and the waterproofing details. A full bathroom remodel here means pulling the old tub or shower, opening walls if needed, replacing the valve, re-setting the new fixture, waterproofing the wet area, setting the tile, hanging the vanity, and passing a Miami-Dade County inspection before the final sign-off. Most homeowners in The Hammocks are replacing an original fiberglass tub/shower insert, builder-grade 8×8 ceramic wall tile, and a laminate vanity that has not aged well against South Florida humidity.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
This is the full gut and redo: new tub or walk-in shower, new tile, new vanity, new fixtures, new lighting, and often a new exhaust fan routed correctly to the exterior instead of into the attic. In The Hammocks, full bathroom remodels typically land between $9,000 and $28,000. The price moves based on tile selection, whether you keep the same footprint, and what we find behind the walls once demo starts.
Walk-In Showers and Tub-to-Shower Conversions
If you’re tired of stepping over a tub wall, a walk-in shower or tub-to-shower conversion is the most practical move in a Hammocks home. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000. A full walk-in shower installation with a tile base, glass panel, and new valve runs $4,500 – $12,000. These are the two most requested changes in this area because the original fiberglass units were not built for how families use a bathroom today.
Bathroom Renovation in The Hammocks
Bathroom Renovation in The Hammocks usually means a mid-level refresh rather than a full gut: replace the vanity, update the toilet, swap the tub or shower surround, retile the floor, and upgrade the plumbing trim. That price band sits between $5,000 and $12,000 for a small bathroom, or up to $28,000 when the scope reaches a full master bath. The job still requires a permit and inspection in unincorporated Miami-Dade when you move plumbing or change the shower pan, which is most renovations of any real size.
Vanities, Tile, and Fixtures
A vanity replacement alone is $800 – $3,000 including installation and plumbing hookup. Tile and fixture updates push the price up quickly, mainly because waterproofing and prep work eat more labor than the materials themselves. We offer KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone tops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures so you’re picking from manufacturer-backed products, not whatever the supply house had on the shelf.
Small Bathroom Remodels
A small bathroom remodel in The Hammocks is $5,000 – $12,000. That’s a hall bath or guest bath where the footprint stays, the tub becomes a shower, the vanity gets replaced, and the tile gets a reset. These jobs still need the same permit and inspection, but the calendar is shorter and the material spend is lower.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
We install and service a full line of name-brand materials for Hammocks homeowners: KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone for solid surfaces, Kohler and Moen for tubs, showers, and faucets, and Schluter for waterproofing systems. We also work with Silestone for vanity tops and Grohe for higher-end trim packages. We keep our local suppliers on a short leash so the parts for your job arrive on schedule, not whenever the truck gets around to it. If you have a warranty issue with a fixture we installed, we handle the paperwork and the repair call directly.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Compromised drywall behind 30-year-old tile. The Hammocks was built out mostly between the late 1980s and early 2000s, and the original bathrooms used drywall as the tile substrate, not the concrete-block-and-mortar-bed assemblies common in older Miami neighborhoods. Humidity has been working on that drywall for decades. When we pull the tile, we almost always find soft spots that need replacement before the new waterproofing goes in.
- Weeping copper stub-outs behind the vanity. CPVC was the norm in mid-1990s Hammocks construction, but copper stub-outs at the vanity and toilet connections are common failure points. A slow leak behind the wall becomes visible only when we demo the old vanity and see the staining on the back of the cabinet.
- Fiberglass tub and shower units with cracked or failed seals. The builder-grade 4-inch fiberglass inserts that came standard in these homes have a lifespan of about 20 years. At 25 to 35 years, the seals are shot and water is working its way under the pan. Homeowners usually call us after the first ceiling stain appears in the room below.
- Rot at the toilet flange and subfloor. The flange sits flush against the subfloor, and in a humid climate with older wax rings, the subfloor plywood around the flange rots. We see this on nearly every full remodel in The Hammocks. It’s not a disaster, but it does mean a section of subfloor replacement before the new tile goes down.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in The Hammocks, FL
Here’s the honest breakdown for what you’ll pay in The Hammocks. These figures reflect what we’ve quoted and built here across the last several years, and they already account for Miami-Dade County permit costs and inspection scheduling.
| Scope | Typical Range in The Hammocks |
|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 – $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 – $3,000 |
The three biggest cost drivers are scope changes, material upgrades, and what’s hiding behind the walls. If you pick a Cambria top over a standard laminate, the number moves. If we open the subfloor around the toilet and find rot, the number moves. If you want the shower valve relocated from the original stub-out, the number moves. A written scope of work with line-item pricing means you approve or reject each change before it happens, so there’s no invoice shock at the end. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free written estimate.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in The Hammocks
Yes. Any remodel that moves plumbing, changes the shower pan, relocates a drain, or alters the wet-area waterproofing requires a Miami-Dade County permit and at least one rough-in inspection plus a final inspection. We pull all permits, schedule the inspections, and handle the county paperwork. Most of The Hammocks sits outside the flood zone, so you’re looking at standard Florida Building Code requirements with Miami-Dade product approvals, not flood elevation certification. Skipping the permit might feel cheaper in the moment, but it catches up with you at resale when the new buyer’s inspector flags the unpermitted shower pan. Call (254) 272-5876 if you want to know what your specific scope triggers.
A typical full bathroom remodel in The Hammocks costs $9,000 – $28,000, with most projects landing between $12,000 and $18,000. The main drivers are tile and stone selection, plumbing relocations, waterproofing repairs behind the existing tile, and whether the vanity is stock or custom. We’ve seen a single shower finish upgrade swing the quote by $3,000, and we’ve seen subfloor rot add $1,800 in a day. The written line-item estimate is the only way to see what actually moves your number. Estimates are free.
Two to four weeks is the honest range for a full bathroom renovation in The Hammocks, assuming no structural surprises. A straight vanity and toilet replacement can be a one-day job. A full gut with a shower pan replacement, drywall repair, and a custom glass enclosure runs three to four weeks because of dry times, tile setting, and the county inspection queue. We don’t promise a calendar we can’t keep, and we send photo updates at each stage so you see what’s happening without having to call.
The three things that change a bathroom remodel price in The Hammocks are hidden water damage, material upgrades, and scope additions. The framing and subfloor in 1980s and 1990s homes have been absorbing humidity for decades, and we don’t know what’s behind the tile until the tile comes off. If you upgrade from a standard quartz top to Cambria or add a second shower valve, that’s a change order. One local project off SW 147th Avenue near Hammocks Middle School ran into a weeping copper stub-out behind the vanity. That fix added about $600 and half a day. You’ll approve every change in writing before we do it. Call (254) 272-5876 to get your scope locked down.
