Kaminskiy Care and Repair handles bathroom repairs and refresh remodels with one crew on one schedule, from fixtures and caulk to vanities and tile. You get a written scope and price before work begins. We serve Miami and the surrounding Florida communities.
Our office is on Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Vanities, surrounds, doors and fixtures lead the Miami bathroom list.
A Miami bathroom refresh is new product on the same footprint: a vanity and top, a tub or shower surround, a shower door, faucets and fixtures, a toilet swap, grab bars, an exhaust fan, tile and caulk repair, and paint. We set the cabinet, the surround, the door and the bars and do the tile, caulk and paint; the licensed plumber we schedule connects the faucet, toilet and trap, and a licensed electrician wires the fan. Moving walls or drains, and full remodels, go to a remodeling contractor.

Priced and on the calendar during the first call.

Nothing here dries. From May into October it rains most afternoons and the air stays near saturation all night, so a bathroom with a weak fan grows mildew on caulk and paint and swells a particleboard vanity from the bottom up. The water comes out of a limestone aquifer and is lime softened at the plant, and what hardness is left ends up as white scale on chrome, glass and aerators. Near the bay the salt air pits the hardware.
A refresh keeps the footprint. New vanity and top, a tub or shower surround, a shower door, faucets and fixtures, a taller toilet, grab bars, a fan, repaired tile and fresh caulk and paint, with the drain and the walls where they are. If the layout has to change, a drain has to move or a wall comes out, that is a remodel; we say so at the first look and name a remodeling contractor.
Florida keeps plumbing and electrical for state-licensed contractors, with no small-job carve-out for work that is part of a larger refresh, and even a licensed building contractor has to subcontract them. So the licensed plumber we schedule connects the faucet, the toilet and the vanity trap, and a licensed electrician wires the fan or a light. We set the cabinet, the top, the surround, the door, the bars, the tile, the caulk and the paint, and the whole job runs on one schedule.
The fan is the whole game in Miami. A fan that runs after every shower, a shower door instead of a curtain, silicone caulk renewed before it is black, and paint made for a bathroom will carry a refresh for years. When we open a wall and find mold on more than about ten square feet, Florida makes that a licensed mold remediator's job, and we stop and tell you who to call before anything is closed up.
Mediterranean and MiMo houses from the 1920s to the 1950s near the bay, with original tile set in a mortar bed, cast iron tubs and salt air on every piece of chrome. The tile is usually worth keeping; the grout, the caulk, the fixtures and the vanity are not. We regrout and recaulk around a new faucet set, swap the vanity and top, add a door on the tub, and the licensed plumber we schedule connects the new fixtures.
The oldest houses in the city: frame cottages and 1920s masonry homes under a canopy that never lets anything dry. These bathrooms have been redone once or twice, so the surprise is what the last refresh hid: soft drywall behind a surround, a window in the shower, a floor that dips at the toilet. We open it, rebuild the wall dry, set a new surround and door, and the licensed plumber resets the toilet on a sound floor.
Concrete-block homes from the 1940s to the 1960s with small bathrooms, one window, a tub with tile to the ceiling and a vanity from the last turnover. Scale builds on everything, the builder vanity swells, and the fan was never there. We fit a new vanity and top, a surround or a regrout, a door and grab bars for a parent, and book the licensed electrician for the fan and the licensed plumber for the fixtures.
Call 786-527-2055 or text a photo of the vanity, the tub wall and the fan. Most refreshes get a range on the call and a date for the look.
A technician measures, checks the wall behind the surround and the floor at the toilet, and you get a written scope: what we do, what the licensed plumber and the licensed electrician do, the products, the price.
We order the vanity, surround, door and fixtures, then set them in order, with the licensed plumber and the licensed electrician booked into the same week so the bathroom is down once, not three times.
Tile, caulk and paint go last, then the dust leaves with us. The one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice, and the licensed trades carry their own.
Florida has no handyman license. The state calls anyone paid to repair or improve a structure a contractor, exempts only casual, minor work under a set small amount that is not part of a larger job, and reserves plumbing and electrical for state-licensed contractors; even a licensed building contractor must subcontract them. In Miami-Dade the county's own permit list makes a faucet, toilet or sink swap permit-free only when a licensed plumber does it. So the licensed plumber we schedule connects the fixtures, a licensed electrician wires the fan, and Kaminskiy Care and Repair, bonded and insured with Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technicians, does the vanity, surround, door, bars, tile, caulk and paint.
Miami-Dade does not regulate cabinets or vanities inside a home, floor tile or interior paint under the building code, so a vanity, a tile floor and paint need no permit; the county says the associated plumbing, ventilation and electrical work may, its minor-repair list lets a licensed plumber swap a faucet, a toilet or a sink without one as long as nothing is rearranged, and the City of Miami puts a bathroom exhaust fan replacement and a ceiling fan on existing wiring by a licensed electrician on its no-permit list too. A surround or a door on the same tub is a minor repair the building official can approve without a permit as long as no wall is cut, under the county's set cost, and we check at the counter before a bigger job rather than guess. A moved drain, a new window in the shower or any wall work is a permit and a remodeler. The 2026 state exemption is a request the city decides, and we do not promise it.
In the bay towers the stacks in the wall are the building's and the fixtures are yours; your association's rules say what a unit job needs filed, usually the scope and the insurance certificate, and we send both with the licensed plumber named. Buildings of three stories or more carry the state milestone inspection, which is the engineer's report and not ours. In the high-velocity hurricane zone a bathroom window replaced with its frame needs a permit and a product with a Miami-Dade or Florida approval, so a window in the shower is where we check before you order. In Morningside, Buena Vista East and the designated parts of the Grove the historic review is about the outside of the house; a bathroom inside is not its concern, a changed window is.
Our South Florida office is in Coral Gables. The Miami crew works out of the office on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, a short drive from the Grove, the Roads, Little Havana and the Upper Eastside, and covers the county from Miami Beach to Kendall. Call 786-527-2055, text a photo of the bathroom, or send the form, and we answer in under three rings.

Call 786-527-2055Usually not. If the tub, the drain and the walls can stay where they are, a refresh gives you a new vanity and top, a surround, a door, fixtures, a toilet, grab bars, a fan and fresh tile, caulk and paint on the same footprint. If the layout has to change or a drain or a wall has to move, that is a remodel; we say so at the look and name a remodeling contractor.
A licensed plumber we schedule. Florida reserves plumbing for state-licensed contractors, with no small-job carve-out for work that is part of a larger refresh, so the faucet, the toilet and the vanity trap are connected by the licensed plumber, on our schedule, and we set the cabinet, the top, the surround and the door around that visit.
A licensed electrician. Florida has no minor-work exception for electrical, so the fan, a new light or a switch is a licensed electrician's job, and the City of Miami's own no-permit list says a ceiling fan on existing wiring is exempt only when a licensed electrical contractor does it. We cut the opening and finish the ceiling and the trim.
Small jobs, a day. A refresh with a vanity, a surround and a door, a few days, with the licensed plumber and the licensed electrician booked into the same week so the room is down once. You get the schedule in writing, and the toilet goes back in first wherever we can.
It depends on the product. Text a photo of the vanity and the tub wall and you get a range on the call; after the look you get a written scope with our work, the licensed trades and the products priced before anything is ordered. The price you approve is the price at the house.
Yes. Our work carries a one-year workmanship warranty in writing, done by Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technicians, and the licensed plumber and the licensed electrician carry their own on their connections.
Not for most of it. The county does not regulate a vanity, floor tile or paint under the building code, a licensed plumber can swap a faucet, a toilet or a sink without a permit when nothing is rearranged, and a surround or a door on the same tub is a minor repair. A moved drain, a new window in the shower or any wall work is a permit, and in a condo the association's paperwork comes first. We tell you at the look.
