Introduction

iami's bathroom remodeling market is unlike anywhere else in Florida.

Haven Home Remodeling Group brings over 30 years of South Florida construction experience to every project in Miami.

Our 20 full-time in-house crews — no subcontractors, no day labor — handle everything from a full bathroom remodel to a targeted accessibility upgrade, typically completing installs in just 3 to 7 days. Whether you're updating a dated Coral Way master bath or opening up a Wynwood loft bathroom, Haven delivers custom results on schedule.

Miami is a city of contrasts — gleaming new towers in Edgewater sit just blocks from mid-century homes in Coconut Grove that haven't seen a renovation since the 1970s. That range means a full bathroom remodel in Miami can mean anything from a top-to-bottom gut of an original avocado-green bathroom to a luxury spa upgrade in a Brickell high-rise.

Haven pulls more than 1,500 building permits per year across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties — every job by the book.

org) for plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing. A full remodel typically covers new tile, vanities, fixtures, lighting, plumbing updates, and electrical updates — all coordinated by a single licensed crew.

Miami homeowners increasingly want their bathrooms to reflect the city's design energy — bold tile patterns, frameless glass enclosures, freestanding soaking tubs, and large-format porcelain that echoes the polished concrete aesthetic of Wynwood galleries. Haven's design consultation process starts with your layout, your priorities, and your budget.

We source vanities, fixtures, and tile through our trade accounts, which means better pricing and faster lead times than retail. For waterproofing, we install Schluter KERDI membrane (a sheet-applied barrier that blocks moisture from reaching the wall frame) on all shower walls and floors — a critical step in Miami's high-humidity environment.

Our installs include a lifetime workmanship warranty, and our warranty callback rate is under 3%.

What You Get

What a Full Bathroom Remodel in Miami Includes

Custom Tile & Flooring

From large-format porcelain to handmade ceramic, Haven installs a full range of tile options rated for Miami's humidity and salt-air exposure.

Vanities, Fixtures & Lighting

We replace vanities, faucets, mirrors, and lighting in a single coordinated install — no juggling multiple subcontractors.

Plumbing & Electrical Updates

All plumbing and electrical work is pulled with permits through Miami-Dade and inspected to current Florida Building Code standards.

Schluter Waterproofing Systems

Haven uses Schluter Systems KERDI waterproofing membrane on all wet areas — the industry standard for long-term moisture control in South Florida bathrooms.

Frameless Glass Enclosures

Frameless glass shower doors and enclosures are custom-measured and installed to complement any tile or fixture selection.

Miami's condo and townhouse market has driven strong demand for walk-in shower installations. Smaller floor plans in Brickell and Edgewater high-rises benefit enormously from curbless (barrier-free) shower designs that open up the visual space and eliminate the tripping hazard of a traditional shower lip.

Haven installs curbless walk-in showers with linear drains, rainfall showerheads, and custom tile work — all sealed with Schluter waterproofing to handle Miami's year-round humidity. Walk-in shower installation in Miami typically involves demolition of the existing tub or shower surround, subfloor prep, waterproofing membrane installation, tile work, and glass enclosure.

We complete most walk-in shower projects in 3 to 5 days, with permits pulled upfront so the final inspection is seamless.

We complete most walk-in shower projects in 3 to 5 days, with permits pulled upfront so the final inspection is seamless. Our crews work in Miami ZIP codes including 33130, 33131, 33132, and 33133.

The fixture selection for a walk-in shower in Miami should account for the coastal environment. Homes within five miles of Biscayne Bay — including much of Coconut Grove, Edgewater, and Brickell — face salt air that corrodes chrome and standard steel fixtures within a few years.

Haven specifies brushed nickel, matte black, or PVD-coated (physical vapor deposition, a hard finish that resists corrosion) fixtures for all coastal Miami installations. Rainfall showerheads, handheld wands, and thermostatic valves (which hold a set temperature automatically) are popular upgrades in Miami's luxury segment.

Linear drains — a long, narrow channel instead of a round center drain — create a cleaner look and allow for single-slope tile layouts that are easier to keep grout-free. Every walk-in shower we install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Miami-Dade Permits: Required for Bathroom Remodels

Any bathroom remodel in Miami that involves plumbing, electrical, or structural changes requires a permit through the Miami-Dade Building Department. Haven handles every permit pull — homeowners never need to visit the building department.

Many Miami homeowners — especially in older neighborhoods like Little Havana and Coral Way — are sitting on original cast-iron tubs they never use. A tub-to-shower conversion removes the tub entirely, relocates the drain if needed, and installs a custom shower in the same footprint.

The conversion process requires plumbing work to cap or relocate the tub drain and supply lines, which is why permitting is essential. Haven handles all demolition, plumbing relocation, waterproofing, tile work, and glass enclosure installation as a single turnkey project.

Tub-to-shower conversions in Miami typically complete in 4 to 6 days depending on whether plumbing relocation is required.
Key insight from this section

Tub-to-shower conversions in Miami typically complete in 4 to 6 days depending on whether plumbing relocation is required. The result is a more functional, easier-to-clean shower space — and a bathroom that feels larger and more modern.

The most common question about a tub-to-shower conversion in Miami is whether the plumbing will need to move. In most cases with standard tub alcoves, the drain can stay in place or shift only a few inches, keeping costs lower.

However, if the new shower design calls for a linear drain or a curbless entry, the drain line typically needs to be rerouted — a one-to-two day process for our in-house plumbing crew. All new supply lines and valves are brought up to current Miami-Dade code during the conversion.

We also recommend upgrading to a pressure-balanced or thermostatic valve (which prevents scalding when another fixture is used) at the same time, since the wall is already open. After tile, glass, and fixtures are installed, the bathroom is inspected and ready for use — with no lingering construction mess.

Miami's population is diverse in age as well as culture — and many homeowners in neighborhoods like Coral Way and Coconut Grove are looking to make their bathrooms safer for aging family members or residents with mobility challenges. Haven's accessibility upgrades include grab bar installation, comfort-height toilet replacement, non-slip flooring, and barrier-free (curbless) shower conversions. gov/law-and-regs/design-standards/) for accessible design, which specify minimum turning radius, grab bar placement heights, and slip-resistance ratings for flooring.

These upgrades are not only practical — they can also be required for Miami-Dade County permits when a bathroom is being substantially remodeled.

These upgrades are not only practical — they can also be required for Miami-Dade County permits when a bathroom is being substantially remodeled. Haven's crews are trained in aging-in-place design and can assess any Miami bathroom for safety improvements.

The goal of aging-in-place bathroom design is to keep Miami residents safe and independent at home without sacrificing aesthetics. A barrier-free shower with a fold-down teak bench, a handheld showerhead on a slide bar, and reinforced grab bars can look just as refined as any luxury remodel — and it performs better for anyone in the household who needs extra stability. Haven installs blocking (structural backing inside the wall) for future grab bar additions even when bars aren't being installed immediately, so Miami homeowners can add them later without opening the wall.

42 or higher meets ADA slip-resistance standards and is available in dozens of styles.

Comfort-height toilets (17–19 inches, roughly the height of a standard chair) reduce strain on knees and hips and are one of the most cost-effective single upgrades in any Miami bathroom. 42 or higher meets ADA slip-resistance standards and is available in dozens of styles.
