Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Richmond West
Bathroom remodeling in Richmond West, FL typically runs $9,000 – $28,000 for a full gut-and-replace job, with smaller updates like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Most projects we take on here finish in two to four weeks once materials land. If you’re reading this from a house near Killian Parkway or anywhere south of Kendall Drive, you already know the tradeoff this neighborhood brings: newer construction with aging builder-grade bathrooms that start showing their years around the ten-year mark.

Call (254) 272-5876 and we’ll walk you through what your bathroom should cost.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is Richmond West’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Richmond West is a specific kind of Miami suburb: mostly homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s, laid out in wide cul-de-sac grids, with HOA rules that sometimes get picky about exterior work but rarely touch what happens inside a bathroom. That’s where we come in. Our crews know the floor plans in this part of the 33177 and 33187 ZIP codes well enough to spot the original vanity, the fiberglass shower pan, and the plastic supply lines before you even point them out.
Luca Romano leads every Richmond West project and stays reachable from the first measurement to the final walkthrough. The reviews we get from Richmond West homeowners tend to mention the same two things: the price matched the quote, and the crew showed up when the app said they would. That’s not luck. It’s The Relay Standard, and it’s been the operating rule here since Sawyer Remodeling started in 2005. This Richmond West market has plenty of contractors who quote low and vanish. We’d rather hand you a number that holds.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Richmond West
A shower remodel in Richmond West usually starts because the original fiberglass unit has cracked, or because a homeowner wants to pull it and build a walk-in with real tile, a bench, and a frameless glass panel. What we see in homes near London Square and the Country Walk area: standard 5-foot alcove tubs being converted to full walk-in showers, and shower stalls that never got proper waterproofing at the curb when the house was built. Both are fixable, and both are jobs we do regularly.
Walk-In Shower Installation
We tear out the old footprint, re-slope the pan, run new supply lines if the valve is original, and waterproof with a bonded membrane (not just green board and hope). For Richmond West, a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on size, tile choice, and whether you want a curbless entry.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
For homes that already have the shower but want the look, we install frameless glass enclosures with clean lines that hold up to South Florida’s humidity. This is the kind of upgrade that changes a bathroom from builder-grade to custom without moving plumbing, and most Richmond West homeowners are surprised how quick a glass-only install goes.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Richmond West
A tub to shower conversion in Richmond West is one of the most-requested jobs we do, usually because the tub has become a step-over hazard for an aging parent or because nobody in the house takes baths and the space is wasted. We pull the tub, cap the drain correctly, build a sloped shower pan, and tile the walls up. Expect $3,500 – $10,000 for the full conversion, and yes, we pull a permit when plumbing moves.
Bathtub Replacement
For homeowners in Richmond West who actually use their tubs, a bathtub replacement is the simpler route. We remove the old unit, set a new acrylic or cast iron tub, and often re-tile the surround while we’re in there. It’s less demolition than a full conversion, so the schedule tightens up.
Walk-In Showers For Aging In Place
Richmond West has a lot of multi-generation households, and we see the same conversation in living rooms off Killian Drive: mom moved in, the tub is a fall risk, and someone wants a low-threshold shower. We build these with proper slope, grab-bar blocking behind the tile, and non-slip floor tile that still looks sharp.
Trusted Brands We Service in Richmond West
We install and service fixtures, surfaces, and hardware from brands we’ll put our name behind: Kohler and Moen for plumbing, Cambria and Caesarstone for surfaces, KraftMaid for vanities. For Richmond West customers, that means replacement parts and matching trim are easy to source if something fails down the line. We also stock common local parts for the plumbing sizes you’ll find in this area’s housing stock, which keeps turnaround tight. If you’re thinking about a Dvele or Abodu-style prefab bathroom pod, we’ll tell you honestly where it makes sense and where a traditional build will last longer. For this market, tile and mortar usually win.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Richmond West Homes
- Humidity-related mold at the tile line: Richmond West sits far enough inland that summer humidity lingers, and bathrooms with builder-grade ventilation (or none) show mold at the ceiling corners and grout lines within a few years. We address the vent fan during almost every remodel.
- Original plastic supply lines and shut-off valves: Homes built here in the 90s and early 2000s often have polybutylene or cheap brass angle stops that seize up. We replace them on every bathroom we open, because a leaking angle stop behind a new vanity is a service call nobody wants.
- Cracked fiberglass tub and shower pans: The original builder units flex under South Florida’s heat-dry cycle and eventually crack at the drain. Once water gets under a fiberglass pan, the subfloor goes next.
- Undersized bathroom vents: Many Richmond West bathrooms have a 50 CFM fan doing a 90 CFM job. We upgrade to a properly sized unit and duct it outside, because recirculating a fan into the attic just moves the moisture problem to the roof deck.
