Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Gladeview
Bathroom remodeling in Gladeview runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with most walk-in shower projects landing between $4,500-$12,000. We’re Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida, and we handle bathroom remodels throughout Gladeview’s 33147 ZIP code, from the older CBS homes along NW 62nd Street to the neighborhoods near West Little River. Because Gladeview is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, every permit and inspection routes through the county building department, not a city office. That matters. We’ve learned the county’s HVHZ inspection rhythms, and we spec every exterior door and window from the Miami-Dade NOA portal before we order materials. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Gladeview’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve worked in Gladeview long enough to know the routine surprises: cast-iron drain lines crumbling behind 1960s tile, jalousie windows that leak every summer, concrete spalling from the high water table. Our Bathroom Remodeling team plans for these conditions from the first site visit, not after demolition starts.
Homeowners in Gladeview tell us the same thing. They want one contractor who handles the plumbing, the tile, the impact-rated door, and the county inspection without passing them between three different crews. That’s what we do. One point of contact. One schedule. One accountability chain.
Raymond Estevez, who leads Groundwork, has built our process around Miami-Dade’s specific requirements. We don’t guess at code. We pull NOA numbers before we spec products. That saves Gladeview homeowners the failed inspections and material swaps we’ve seen out-of-area crews struggle with.
We’re based in Fort Lauderdale and typically reach Gladeview properties within 30-40 minutes. Same-day estimates are available.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Gladeview
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Gladeview almost always involves more than cosmetics. The 1950s-60s CBS homes here have original galvanized plumbing, flat or low-slope roofing that channels water toward exterior walls, and no hurricane strapping. We replace aging supply and drain lines, address moisture damage in the exterior wall cavity, and install impact-rated windows or doors where the bathroom faces outside. Every product carries a Miami-Dade NOA approval, and we schedule county inspections through Miami-Dade’s centralized system.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
This is our most requested bathroom project in Gladeview. Homeowners want the accessibility and clean look of a curbless or low-threshold walk-in shower. We build these with waterproofing systems rated for Florida’s humidity, and we always check whether the bathroom’s exterior wall needs reinforcement for HVHZ wind loads. On a recent walk-in shower remodel in the 1950s CBS home on NW 62nd Street, our crew discovered the existing bathroom exterior door had no wind-rated glazing and the frame was rotted from years of tropical moisture. We swapped it for a NOA-approved impact door, reinforced the framing with hurricane straps, and installed a Kohler shower system with a Moen valve-passing county inspection on the first try because we’d checked the Miami-Dade NOA portal before spec’ing materials.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in Gladeview costs $3,500-$10,000. The price range reflects whether we need to reinforce the wall structure for HVHZ compliance, replace aging plumbing, or address subfloor moisture from years of tropical humidity and the area’s high water table. Many Gladeview homes have original cast-iron tubs with galvanized drains that simply won’t connect to modern PEX systems. We handle that transition in-house, including any necessary framing modifications for wind-load requirements.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We source vanities and tile through our brand partnerships, including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry options and Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertop selections. In Gladeview’s humid climate, we spec moisture-resistant cabinet materials and porcelain or ceramic tile with proper waterproofing membranes. The vanity wall often shares framing with the home’s exterior wall, so we verify that any plumbing penetrations don’t compromise the HVHZ envelope.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Frameless glass adds visual space to smaller Gladeview bathrooms, but the hardware and glass must withstand Miami-Dade’s corrosive salt-air environment. We use marine-grade hardware and tempered glass with proper edge sealing. If the shower shares a wall with an exterior exposure, we coordinate the enclosure installation with any impact-rated window or door work to maintain the continuous weather barrier county inspectors expect.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Even a modest powder room or guest bath in Gladeview falls under the same HVHZ scrutiny as a master renovation. A $5,000-$12,000 small bathroom remodel can still require an impact-rated exterior door or window replacement, depending on the home’s exposure. We size our crews appropriately for tight spaces and minimize disruption to occupied homes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Gladeview
We work with 50+ recognized industry brands across every category we touch. For Gladeview bathroom remodels, that means Kohler and Moen fixtures, KraftMaid and Wellborn vanities, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and impact-rated windows from Andersen, Pella, or CGI when the bathroom has exterior exposure. We don’t lock you into proprietary products. You choose the brand that fits your budget and taste, and we handle the build. Because we verify every product’s Miami-Dade NOA status before ordering, Gladeview homeowners avoid the failed inspections and costly material swaps that delay projects when contractors spec from catalogs without checking county approval.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Gladeview Homes
- Non-NOA approved shower doors or exterior doors. Installing these fails county inspection and forces replacement, adding weeks and unexpected cost. We check the Miami-Dade NOA portal before every order.
- Water intrusion around aging jalousie windows. Many Gladeview bathrooms still have original jalousie windows that leak during hurricane-season storms. Leaving them in place guarantees rot inside your new shower within a few years.
- Unreinforced wall cavities when expanding window openings. Widening a bathroom window for natural light without reinforcing the header and wall framing violates HVHZ wind-load requirements. The wall can fail structurally in a storm.
- Subfloor moisture from the high water table. Gladeview’s flat coastal plain keeps groundwater near the surface. Summer thunderstorms leave standing water that accelerates concrete spalling and rebar corrosion in older CBS slabs, damaging new tile if the subfloor isn’t properly sealed.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Gladeview
Yes. Because Gladeview is in Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, any new or replaced exterior window must be impact-rated and carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). This requirement doesn’t apply in nearby Hialeah’s standard wind zone, but it’s non-negotiable here. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll verify the NOA status of your preferred window before ordering.
You’ll face fines, mandatory removal of unpermitted work, and potential issues when selling the home. Since Gladeview has no municipal building department, Miami-Dade County enforces permits and inspections directly, and they actively track unpermitted construction through utility records and neighbor complaints. The county can also require engineered drawings and retroactive HVHZ compliance, which costs far more than doing it permitted from the start.
You shouldn’t. Original jalousie windows in Gladeview homes leak consistently during summer storms and hurricane season, and they have no impact rating. Keeping one in place means moisture will penetrate your new shower surround, causing rot and mold within a few years. We replace them with NOA-approved impact windows as part of the remodel scope.
It depends on whether the bathroom shares an exterior wall. If the tub removal exposes or modifies a wall that carries HVHZ wind loads, Miami-Dade code requires proper header support, hurricane strapping, and sometimes shear panel installation. We assess this during our initial site visit and include any necessary reinforcement in the estimate.
The combination accelerates concrete spalling and rebar corrosion in older CBS slabs, and standing water after thunderstorms wicks upward into subflooring. We use moisture barriers, proper tile underlayment, and ventilation calculations sized for Florida’s climate. In some Gladeview homes, we’ve found it necessary to repair slab damage before setting new tile. Call (844) 665-0162 for an assessment of your specific conditions.
