Bathroom Remodeling in South Miami

Small rooms, high standards.

Walk into an untouched bathroom in Westerfield Manor or Pinecrest Villas and you'll usually find the 1958 original: pastel tile, a cast-iron tub, and five by eight feet of floor plan. South Miami owners have two moves. In the ranches, they combine a cramped bath and a closet into an actual primary suite with a frameless shower and real storage. On Manor Lane and the larger lots, it's the dated 1990s renovation being replaced with stone, a freestanding tub, and lighting that flatters instead of interrogates.

Bathrooms look small on a permit application and aren't. Moving fixtures means opening a slab; opening a slab in a 1950s house means meeting the cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines hiding down there, and current code has opinions about both. Permits run through the City of South Miami Building Department, and the shower pan gets inspected before a single tile goes on — which is exactly the inspection you want passed. If a window sits in the wet area, it gets replaced with impact-rated, privacy-glazed product carrying a Miami-Dade approval.

The difference between a bathroom that photographs well and one that lasts is everything under the tile: slopes, membranes, flashing, fasteners rated for wet walls. That layer is where PGX spends its attention, because it's the layer you can't fix later without starting over. You get a fixed written scope, a supervisor on site daily, stone and glass measured by the people who install them, and the rest of the house protected from a very dusty little room. One team, one warranty, no finger-pointing between trades.

What's included

What your bathroom project includes.

From gut demolition to the final bead of silicone, here's the work a South Miami bathroom remodel typically covers with PGX:

01

Hall bath into primary suite

Combining a hallway bath, a closet, and wasted square footage into a suite the original floor plan never imagined it could hold.

02

Curbless showers where the slab allows

Curbless entries and linear drains where the slab allows, full waterproofing membranes, and glass templated after tile so it actually fits.

03

Tubs plumbed through the slab

Floor-mounted fillers mean plumbing routed through the slab — cut, roughed in, inspected, and poured back before the tub ever arrives.

04

Large-format stone, set flat

Large-format porcelain, marble, and quartzite set flat and level, with niches and benches planned in the drawings, not improvised on site.

05

Behind-the-wall upgrades

Replacing corroded cast-iron drains and narrowed galvanized supply lines while everything is open, so the new bathroom isn't plumbed like the old one.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in South Miami?
If plumbing or electrical work moves — and in a real remodel it almost always does — yes, through the City of South Miami Building Department. Inspections happen at stages you can't see afterward, like the shower pan and rough plumbing, which is precisely why they matter. Like-for-like fixture swaps are simpler, but few high-end projects stay that simple. We pull the permits and meet every inspector ourselves.
What will you find inside my 1950s walls?
In South Miami's postwar houses, typically cast-iron drains carrying decades of corrosion, galvanized supply lines that have narrowed with age, and framing details no current code would recognize. None of it is a crisis; all of it is best replaced while the walls are open. We assume some of this in the scope up front, so discoveries adjust the plan rather than detonate the budget.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
For a full gut of a primary bath, think in terms of several weeks of construction after permits and materials are in hand — slab work, waterproofing cure times, and inspection scheduling all claim their days. What stretches timelines is starting before glass, stone, and fixtures are ordered, so we don't. You'll get a schedule tied to real lead times, not an optimistic guess.
Can two small bathrooms become one large one?
Often, yes. Adjacent postwar baths are one of the better remodeling opportunities in South Miami, since the plumbing is already concentrated in one place. Combining them takes structural review of what's between them, a drainage plan, and city permits, but the payoff is a primary bath that finally matches the caliber of the rest of your renovation. We'll tell you quickly whether your layout supports it.
What does a high-end bathroom remodel cost?
Ranges are wide and driven by three things: how far fixtures move, the stone and glass you select, and what we find in the walls. A faithful refresh costs a fraction of a full suite conversion with slab work. We're not the cheapest bid in Miami-Dade and don't try to be — the price buys waterproofing done correctly, a fixed scope, and one accountable team. Walk-throughs and estimates are free.
