Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami
A full bathroom remodel in Miami typically runs $10,620 to $33,040, and most projects take three to six weeks depending on whether you’re moving plumbing. The number that matters most is the one on your written quote, not a ballpark you heard from a neighbor. Sawyer Remodeling gives you that number before any work starts, because we open the walls, scope the job properly, and price it against real Miami labor and material costs. Call (254) 272-5876 to schedule your free estimate with Luca Romano’s team, and you’ll get a line-item quote you can actually plan around. We work throughout Miami, from the 1920s Spanish-style homes in Shenandoah to the mid-century ranches off Bird Road, and we know which jobs need a Miami-Dade plumbing permit before the first tile comes up.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Miami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Miami homeowners call us because we write the price down and stand behind it. Sawyer Remodeling is part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every job runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work starts, live arrival time tracking, and before-and-after photo updates. You don’t chase us for answers, because we already sent them to your phone.
Where a job in Cutler Bay or Westchester might sit on a contractor’s schedule for weeks, our crews coordinate through our Miami office and we build the calendar around the inspection, not around our convenience. Luca Romano leads every project with the same rule: if it’s not done right, we make it right, backed in writing by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Bathroom Renovation in Miami
A bathroom renovation in Miami is a full gut-and-rebuild: we remove the existing fixtures, open the walls, repair or replace the subfloor and plumbing rough-in, then install new tile, vanity, shower, tub, and fixtures. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Coconut Grove and Coral Gables typically need a renovation when the layout stops working, when the original Miami-Dade cast-iron or galvanized drain lines are failing, or when humidity has gotten into the drywall and the room no longer holds up. Expect $10,620 to $33,040 depending on size, layout changes, and material grade.
What a renovation includes
We handle the full scope: demolition, plumbing rough-in, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixture installation, and paint. Every renovation starts with opening the walls so we can see the real condition of the framing and drains before we quote, not after you’ve signed. That’s the difference between a price that holds and one that grows.
When the layout changes
Moving a toilet, shower, or vanity changes the drain/waste/vent path and triggers a Miami-Dade plumbing permit. We pull it, schedule the rough-in inspection after the walls are open but before they close, and we don’t close anything until the inspector signs off. That step alone controls your schedule more than any other factor on the job.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Miami
A small bathroom remodel in Miami, like a 5×8 hall bath or a condo powder room, runs $5,900 to $14,160 and is usually a three-to-four-week job when the plumbing stays in place. We do a lot of these in Coral Gables ranches and older mid-rise condos along Brickell Avenue, where the footprint is tight but the payoff is real. You keep the same layout, replace the tub or shower, swap the vanity and toilet, and end up with a room that doesn’t feel like it was last touched in 1974.
Same layout, new room
When the drain lines are sound and you’re not moving the toilet or shower, the scope is simpler: demo, new waterproofing, tile, vanity, fixtures, paint. The price stays in the lower half of that range, and the rough-in inspection is less likely to add days to the schedule.
Older small baths with surprises
In 1960s and 1970s Miami homes, especially along the Bird Road corridor, we regularly find subfloor rot from slow toilet leaks or corroded cast-iron drains under the slab. That’s why we open the walls before pricing. A small bath that looks like a two-week job can hide a three-day subfloor repair, and we’d rather you know that before the demo starts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
You pick the materials, we install them. Our Miami bathroom remodels include fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Toto; countertops from Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone; and cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn. If you’re leaning toward high-end prefab or panelized systems, we also work with brands like Mighty Buildings and Dvele on larger whole-home projects that include baths. We stock common PEX fittings, Schluter waterproofing, and rough-in valves locally, so a missing part doesn’t mean a dead day on your calendar. Where the build calls for a coated pocket door or a bench seat in a walk-in shower, we source what fits the room, not whatever is sitting in the back of a truck.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Corroded cast-iron drains under the slab. Homes built before the 1980s in neighborhoods like Shenandoah and Coral Gables often have original cast-iron drain lines that rot from the inside. You won’t know until we camera the line, which we do as part of scoping any remodel that touches plumbing.
- Subfloor rot from slow leaks. Miami’s humidity plus a toilet wax ring that failed a decade ago equals plywood that crumbles when we pull the tile. We sister the joists and replace the subfloor before any new flooring goes down.
- Blown-out allowances on tile and fixtures. Allowances look fine on paper until you walk a Miami showroom and realize the tile you actually want is $9 more per square foot. We write change orders for every swap so the final number never surprises you.
- Failed rough-in inspections from unpermitted layout shifts. If a previous owner moved a shower without pulling a permit, the framing and venting behind the wall may not pass today. We scope it, pull the permit, and bring the rough-in up to current Miami-Dade code before closing the walls.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Miami
Yes, if you move or replace any part of the drain/waste/vent system, Miami-Dade County requires a plumbing permit, and the rough-in inspection happens after the walls are opened but before they’re closed. If you’re only swapping fixtures in the same location with no plumbing changes, the permit scope is much lighter. We determine exactly what your scope requires before we quote, and we pull every permit the county asks for. Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll walk you through it.
Most full bathroom remodels take three to six weeks, and the biggest single variable is the rough-in inspection. In Miami-Dade, the inspector comes after the walls are open and before they close, so we build the calendar around that appointment. A small bath with no layout change can finish in three weeks; a full gut with plumbing relocation will run closer to six. You’ll get a written schedule before we start, and photo updates as each phase closes out.
The three big cost drivers are plumbing relocation, material grade, and hidden subfloor or drain repairs. Moving a toilet or shower adds permit fees and rough-in time. Tile, fixtures, and vanities range widely: a builder-grade vanity install is around $945, while a full custom walk-in shower can top $14,000. We price by opening the walls first, so hidden conditions come to light before you’ve committed, not after. Call for an exact written quote; estimates are free.
A change order is a written document that updates the price when you change the scope, like upgrading tile or moving a niche. In Miami, jobs stall when homeowners pick showroom materials that outrun the original allowance and nobody wrote down the difference. We write a change order for every swap, you approve the number, and the draw schedule stays honest. The invoice matches the approved total, period.
We walk the room with you, test every fixture, check waterproofing details like the Schluter edge trim where tile meets the floor, and give you a written punch list if anything needs attention. The 365-Day Done Right Promise starts that day: if it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing. If something fails after you’ve lived with it for months, you call us and we come back. That’s the entire point of the guarantee.
