Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Westchester
A full bathroom remodel in Westchester typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000, with small bathroom remodels running $5,000 to $12,000. Most projects take two to five weeks depending on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint or moving walls and drains. If you’re looking at a 1950s or 1960s CBS-block home near Coral Way or Bird Road, the real question isn’t just what tile you like. It’s whether the cast-iron drain under your slab will survive another renovation. Call (254) 272-5876 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the job with you before you commit to anything.
As a General Contractor in Westchester, Sawyer Remodeling serves all of Westchester, FL from our South Florida scheduling office, with crews working locally every week. We know the difference between a cosmetic refresh on a 1980s townhouse off SW 16th Street and a gut remodel on a 1970s ranch near Tropical Park. That local knowledge is what keeps your written price accurate from day one.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Westchester’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Westchester homeowners deal with a specific set of bathroom problems: corroded cast-iron drains, undersized wiring from the Eisenhower era, and slab foundations that make moving a toilet drain an expensive conversation. Most of the homes west of the Palmetto Expressway and north of Coral Way were built between 1950 and 1980, and the plumbing and electrical in those walls frequently was not permitted when it went in. Our team has scoped enough of these remodels to spot the warning signs before the tile saw comes out.
The Relay Visibility Guarantee is how every Bathroom Remodeling project in Westchester runs: a written price before work starts, a live arrival time for every crew visit, and before-and-after photo updates you can see from your phone. No contractor should ask you to trust a verbal estimate on a five-figure remodel. Ours comes in writing, and the number on the invoice matches the number you approved.
Every technician who steps onto your Westchester property is background-checked and uniformed, so you know who is walking into your home before they arrive. Luca Romano, who runs our field operations, reviews every bathroom scope personally before we submit a price. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, not a voicemail queue. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every Westchester bathroom remodel in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right.

One Day Bath Remodel in Westchester
One Day Bath Remodel in Westchester is a popular option for homeowners who want the look of a full remodel without the multi-week demo and rebuild. This service focuses on swapping existing tub and shower surrounds, replacing vanities, upgrading fixtures, and refinishing surfaces in a single day, with the existing plumbing and drainage left in place. A One Day Bath Remodel typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on the materials you choose and the condition of what’s behind the current wall. It works best in Westchester homes where the tub or shower is still structurally sound and the drain is flowing properly.
What We Replace in One Day
We remove the old tub or shower surround, set a new acrylic or composite surround, install your replacement vanity, swap the faucet, showerhead, and trim, and reset the toilet. The job stays on your existing footprint, so no slab work and no permit changes through Miami-Dade County. If we find failing plumbing during the removal, the One Day Bath Remodel pauses and we write a change order before going further.
When One Day Works in Westchester Homes
This is not, despite the name, a full gut remodel. If you live in a CBS-block house from the 1960s and your cast-iron tub drain is original, a One Day Bath Remodel leaves that pipe untouched, which is fine until it eventually fails. We tell every Westchester homeowner the same thing: the one-day route saves money now, but it will not fix a drain problem that’s already showing signs of age.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Westchester
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor work in Westchester means full-teardown remodels where we move and reconfigure the room, not just reskin it. This scope covers moving walls, relocating shower drains, rewiring circuits, replacing subfloor and slab penetrations, and installing new tile, vanities, and glass enclosures from scratch. A full bathroom remodel in Westchester runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on the size, the condition of the existing plumbing and electrical, and the finishes you select. If the original cast-iron drain lines need replacement, expect the price to move toward the upper end of that range.
Full Remodel Scope
We pull the room to studs and slab, replace or relocate the tub or shower drain, run new supply lines, upgrade the circuit feeding the bath, waterproof the wet areas with Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor), and rebuild with your chosen materials. KraftMaid vanities over Cambria quartz, Kohler or Moen fixtures, and frameless glass enclosures are all available. Every full remodel in Westchester goes through Miami-Dade County’s BSA portal for permitting and inspection sign-off.
What Changes the Price Once Work Starts
We write your price before any tool is picked up, but a Westchester Bathroom Remodeling Contractor who tells you the price never changes is not being honest about what’s behind these walls. When we open a 1960s CBS-block bathroom and find a collapsed cast-iron drain under the slab or a daisy-chained circuit feeding three rooms off one 20-amp breaker, that repair has to happen before inspection. We stop, write it as a line-item change order, and get your sign-off. You approve the number before we proceed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westchester
We install and service products from KraftMaid, Cambria, Kohler, Moen, Grohe, and Toto across Westchester, and because we work these neighborhoods every week, we keep common replacement parts and trim pieces staged locally instead of waiting on shipping from a warehouse two states away. When a Kohler valve cartridge fails in a 1970s Westchester home mid-remodel, we have the replacement the same day. When a vanity top arrives with a chip, we swap it before the countertop crew leaves the site. That is what manufacturer-backed partnerships actually mean for you: real parts, real availability, and a warranty that has someone accountable behind it.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Westchester Homes
- Corroded cast-iron drain lines under the slab. Westchester homes built between the 1950s and 1970s often have original cast-iron waste pipes that have been rusting for 50 to 70 years. When the tile comes up and the slab comes open, these lines frequently crumble on contact and require replacement before the new shower pan can be set.
- Undersized electrical circuits from the original build. Many of these bathrooms run off a single 15- or 20-amp circuit shared with adjacent bedrooms, which cannot support a modern fan, heated floor, and GFCI outlets. Miami-Dade inspection will flag this, and we upgrade the circuit before the drywall goes back up.
- Shower pans that were never properly waterproofed. In homes where a previous owner did a DIY or unpermitted refresh, the shower pan liner was often cut short or not sloped, which leads to water damage behind the lower walls. We see this most often in Westchester homes near the Westchester Country Club area, where older remodels predate current waterproofing standards.
- Slab penetrations done wrong on prior remodels. Moving a toilet or shower drain in a CBS-block slab house requires a core drill and proper recompaction. We regularly find patches where a prior contractor chipped a hole, dropped in a pipe, and covered it with a thin concrete patch that later cracked and leaked.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Westchester, FL
Here are the actual price ranges for bathroom remodels in Westchester, calibrated to what we see in the field across this market. These are not teaser numbers. They are the real range you should expect before any change orders are written.
| Service | Price Range (Westchester, FL) |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel (full) | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 – $12,000 |

What moves your job inside or outside these ranges? The three biggest drivers are the condition of your existing drain lines, whether you relocate the shower or toilet, and the finish level you choose for tile, cabinetry, and plumbing trim. A full remodel with a drain replacement, new circuit, and Cambria quartz tops lands at the higher end. A small bathroom with the footprint untouched and the existing drain healthy lands lower. Every estimate is free, and the price we give you is the price you approve.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Westchester
Yes, for any remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural elements, you need a permit through Miami-Dade County’s BSA portal. A cosmetic refresh that only replaces tile, paint, and a vanity top generally does not require one, but anything that opens walls and exposes old shower pans or trap arms will fail county inspection sign-off without a permit. We pull the permits on every Westchester bathroom remodel and pass the inspections before the job closes.
A full bathroom remodel in Westchester takes two to five weeks depending on the scope. A tub-to-shower conversion with the drain left in place can be done in about two weeks. A full gut remodel with drain relocation, slab work, and new electrical upgrades typically runs four to five weeks. The Miami-Dade inspection schedule and material lead times for custom vanities or specialty tile can add a few days either way. We give you a calendar before we start, not after.
Corroded cast-iron drains and undersized wiring are the two big ones in Westchester’s older CBS-block homes. When we open the walls and find a drain line collapsing under the slab, replacing it can add several thousand dollars. An electrical circuit that needs upgrading to pass Miami-Dade inspection is another common change order. We write both as line-item changes and get your approval before spending a dollar.
Yes, a tub-to-shower conversion that keeps the shower drain where the tub drain currently sits is a $3,500 to $10,000 job in Westchester. We remove the tub, build a sloped shower pan in the same footprint, install waterproofing and tile, and set a glass enclosure. This avoids slab work entirely, which is why it costs less than moving the drain to the other side of the room.
Your quote should list every line item: demolition, dump fees, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile and setting materials, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, glass, paint, and permit fees through Miami-Dade County. It should also state what happens if hidden damage is found. Our Westchester quotes include all of that, in writing, before work starts. Call (254) 272-5876 for the exact number on your project.
