University Park isn’t like remodeling in Broward County. This ZIP 33222 area sits in Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest construction jurisdiction in the country. Every exterior door, window, and fastener needs a separate Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance that doesn’t exist just one county north. Out-of-area contractors show up with Florida Building Code-compliant materials that still fail inspection here. We’ve seen it stall jobs for weeks. Our crew vets NOA status during material submittals, before anything ships.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is University Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve been working in Miami-Dade long enough to know the difference between code-compliant and University Park-compliant. That distinction matters when your inspector asks for the NOA certificate on your new bathroom door.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from single-fixture swaps to full gut renovations in the CBS homes that dominate this area - many built in the 1970s-1990s, some rebuilt after Andrew, others showing their age around the plumbing stacks. We know which walls are load-bearing, where the original cast iron sits, and how the high water table affects anything below grade.
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that homeowners deserve real material choice, not whatever’s in the contractor’s truck. In University Park, that means we source impact-rated doors from our regular supplier network with NOA documentation already in hand. No last-minute substitutions. No inspector surprises.
One contractor, every phase. That’s how we work in University Park - and across South Florida.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in University Park
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in University Park means working within CBS construction, often with original 1980s plumbing that needs careful coordination with Miami-Dade’s permitting requirements. We handle demo, rough plumbing, electrical, tile, fixtures, and finish carpentry - all under our single-source model. You don’t juggle a plumber, electrician, and tiler. We coordinate every trade, and we verify NOA status on any exterior door or window from day one.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Small Bathroom Remodels in University Park can include walk-in shower installation, which runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on size, tile selection, and whether we’re moving drain locations. The high water table here - sometimes within two to three feet of grade - means any below-slab drain work needs sealed forms and rapid pours, especially during June through October. We schedule concrete work around weather windows and use moisture-barrier systems that account for seasonal groundwater pressure. Our tile selections include moisture-resistant options suited to South Florida’s humidity cycles.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in University Park often reveals surprises: original galvanized supply lines, unvented drain configurations, or subfloors compromised by decades of splash-over in humid conditions. We price our Tub-to-Shower Conversion service in University Park at $3,500-$10,000, with most projects landing in the $5,500-$7,500 range for standard 60-inch alcove conversions. If your bathroom shares a wall with an exterior elevation, we’ll assess whether the new shower enclosure requires impact-rated glazing or adjacent wall reinforcement to meet HVHZ standards.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
University Park homeowners upgrading vanities and finishes have access to our full brand roster - KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria for engineered quartz tops if you’re extending the vanity surface. Vanity installation runs $800-$3,000 depending on custom sizing, plumbing relocation, and whether we’re integrating storage into existing CBS wall cavities. Tile selection matters here: porcelain with low water absorption outperforms ceramic in our climate, and we specify mold-resistant grout systems for the shower enclosures we build.

Trusted Brands We Service in University Park
We don’t lock you into proprietary products. Groundwork works with 50+ recognized brands across every category, and for University Park bathroom projects that means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry options, Cambria quartz surfaces, and impact-rated door assemblies from manufacturers who maintain current Miami-Dade NOAs. We submit material lists for permit review with NOA documentation attached - not after the fact, not when the inspector asks. Our supplier relationships mean we’re not scrambling for HVHZ-certified products; they’re already in our procurement pipeline.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in University Park Homes
- Non-NOA doors and windows on exterior bathroom walls. Contractors from Broward or Palm Beach arrive with perfectly good Florida Building Code-compliant products that lack Miami-Dade’s separate NOA approval. The inspector rejects them. The job stops. We see this on University Park jobsites at least monthly - homeowners calling us to fix another crew’s material failure.
- Rusted original anchor bolts in CBS walls. The 1970s-1990s homes here often have original fasteners that corroded over decades of humidity cycles. Reusing them for a new door frame is risky; we extract and replace with stainless or hot-dip galvanized anchors rated for HVHZ wind loads.
- Unsealed below-slab plumbing in high water table conditions. Any shower drain or tub rough-in that breaks the slab needs proper sealing. During University Park’s rainy season, groundwater can intrude through unsealed penetrations, wicking into wall cavities and creating mold conditions that don’t show until the tile fails.
- Exterior-facing shower vents without hurricane-rated closures. Bathroom exhaust vents through exterior walls need product approvals too, and operable dampers that resist wind-driven rain. We specify these during rough-in, not as an afterthought.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in University Park
University Park sits in Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, where every building product on exterior walls - including bathroom doors - must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance separate from standard Florida Building Code approval. This NOA verifies the product passed specific wind-load and impact testing for this jurisdiction. We verify NOA status on every door before ordering; call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll check your project’s requirements.
Yes, and if it’s on an exterior wall, the replacement window must be impact-rated with a current Miami-Dade NOA. We source University Park Windows & Doors from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and other lines in our roster that maintain HVHZ certifications. The window rough opening often needs reinforcement in older CBS walls, which we address during framing.
University Park’s water table can sit within two to three feet of grade, so any below-slab drain work needs sealed forms, rapid concrete placement, and moisture barriers integrated with your shower pan system. We schedule this work outside peak rainy season when possible and use epoxy-coated drain assemblies. Attempting this without groundwater awareness risks slab flooding and mold - call us at (844) 665-0162 for a site-specific approach.
HVHZ stands for High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and it adds a material-approval layer that doesn’t exist in Broward County. You’ll pay slightly more for NOA-certified doors, windows, and fasteners, and you’ll wait longer for permitted inspections. But you avoid the cost of failed inspections and emergency material swaps that hit homeowners who use out-of-area contractors. Our estimates include HVHZ-compliant materials by default - no surprises.
Yes, Miami-Dade requires permits for any bathroom remodel involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes - which covers nearly every project we handle. If your remodel touches an exterior wall or adds a door or window, the permit review includes NOA verification. We pull permits as part of our standard process and schedule inspections to keep your job moving. Call (844) 665-0162 to discuss your project’s permit scope.
