Introduction
oral has transformed faster than almost any city in Miami-Dade since its incorporation in 2003 — from a loose cluster of industrial corridors into a dense, polished community of 75,000-plus residents spread across neighborhoods like Downtown Doral, Doral Isles, and Costa del Sol. As the housing stock has matured and newer high-rise condos have risen near CityPlace Doral, homeowners and condo owners alike are embracing bathroom remodeling projects, replacing dated tub-and-tile combos with sleek, spa-caliber walk-in shower installations.
Haven Bathrooms & Kitchens brings more than 30 years of South Florida construction experience and a team of 20 full-time in-house crews directly to your door — delivering custom walk-in showers built to perform beautifully in Doral's intense heat, heavy wet-season rainfall, and modern aesthetic. If you're ready to transform your bathroom through professional bathroom remodeling, this page tells you exactly what to expect from the process, the materials, and the people doing the work.

Walk-in shower installation in Doral, FL is one of the fastest-growing bathroom remodeling services in Miami-Dade, driven by a combination of aging builder-grade bathrooms, rising home equity, and a local design culture that prizes clean, modern interiors. As part of our broader South Florida bathroom remodeling portfolio, Haven's Doral installations consistently rank among the most design-forward projects we complete — homeowners in Doral Estates and Doral Isles in particular are choosing curbless, frameless glass enclosures that feel custom-built for their floor plans.
Haven runs 20 in-house crews full-time, a scale most South Florida contractors cannot match without subcontracting field work. That means the same trained craftsmen who waterproof your shower walls with Schluter membrane systems also set your large-format porcelain tile and install your linear drain — no handoffs to day labor, no accountability gaps. With a warranty callback rate under 3% and more than 1,200 bathroom and roofing projects completed each year, we have the volume and consistency to back up every promise we make.
“Haven runs 20 in-house crews full-time, a scale most South Florida contractors cannot match without subcontracting field work.”
Doral's inland location reduces the salt-air corrosion that plagues coastal bathrooms, but the city's extreme wet-season rainfall and heat island effect create their own humidity challenges indoors. Proper waterproofing is never optional for any bathroom remodeling project here — and for homeowners whose condos sustained damage during Hurricane Irma in 2017, a full renovation is also an opportunity to upgrade moisture barriers and ventilation at the same time.
What You Get
Walk-In Shower Features We Install in Doral Homes
Custom Tile & Stone
From large-format porcelain slabs to handset mosaic accents, our tile selections complement the contemporary aesthetics popular in Doral's newer condo towers and single-family communities alike. Every tile installation begins with a Schluter waterproofing system beneath the surface.
Frameless Glass Enclosures
Heavy tempered frameless glass panels open up small bathroom footprints and give any shower a high-end, hotel-style look — a top request from homeowners near CityPlace Doral and throughout Downtown Doral.
Curbless & Zero-Threshold Design
Curbless showers eliminate trip hazards, simplify cleaning, and create a seamless visual flow across the bathroom floor. They also pair naturally with accessibility upgrades for aging-in-place planning.
Linear Drains
Linear drains allow single-slope floor pitches, making large-format tile installation far cleaner. They are our recommended drain solution for any curbless walk-in shower due to their drainage efficiency and visual simplicity.
Rainfall & Multi-Function Heads
Ceiling-mounted rainfall heads and handheld wand combinations transform a daily shower into a genuine spa experience — and our plumbing-licensed crews handle all rough-in and finish connections in-house.

Doral Requires Permits for Shower Remodels
The City of Doral Building Department — incorporated independently from Miami-Dade County in 2003 — requires a permit for any shower remodel that involves structural, plumbing, or electrical work. Haven pulls all permits on your behalf and manages every required inspection from start to final sign-off.
Process
How Haven Installs Your Walk-In Shower: Step by Step
- 1
Free In-Home Design Consultation
A Haven project consultant visits your Doral home to assess the existing bathroom layout, measure the space, review plumbing access, and discuss your design goals — tile style, glass type, drain configuration, and fixture preferences. Estimates are always free, and financing options are available.
- 2
Permit Submission & Approval
We prepare and submit all permit documentation to the City of Doral Building Department. Because Haven pulls more than 1,500 building permits per year across South Florida, our permit submissions are thorough and accurate — minimizing back-and-forth delays.
- 3
Demo & Waterproof Prep
Our crew removes the existing tub or shower enclosure, inspects the substrate for moisture damage, and installs a full Schluter waterproofing membrane on all walls and the shower floor. This step is non-negotiable — no amount of premium tile can compensate for a failed moisture barrier in Doral's humid climate.
- 4
Tile, Glass & Fixture Installation
With a dry, waterproofed substrate in place, we set tile, install the linear or center drain, hang the frameless glass panels, connect rainfall and handheld shower heads, and mount all accessories. Most Doral shower installations complete in 3 to 7 days from demo to finish.
- 5
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
We schedule the City of Doral final inspection and walk you through every detail of the finished shower — grout lines, glass alignment, drain performance, and fixture operation — before we close out the permit. Our lifetime workmanship warranty activates at project completion.

Doral is one of the few cities in Miami-Dade that operates its own independent Building Department — a result of its 2003 incorporation, which gave the city control over local permitting rather than routing everything through the county. For homeowners, this means faster permit turnaround on bathroom remodeling projects that are scoped and submitted correctly the first time. Haven's familiarity with Doral's permitting process — including plumbing inspections, moisture barrier requirements, and final sign-off procedures — is a genuine practical advantage over contractors who work primarily in other municipalities.
Doral's dense development creates a pronounced heat island effect, particularly in the ZIP codes surrounding 33178 and 33172. Inside newer high-rise condos near Downtown Doral, bathroom humidity management is critical — and a properly waterproofed walk-in shower with adequate ventilation is far more resistant to mold and grout degrADAtion than a traditional tub enclosure. Homeowners in multi-story units who experienced moisture intrusion after Hurricane Irma's sustained Category 4 winds in 2017 often pair their shower renovation with a full bathroom remodel to address underlying wall and ceiling conditions at the same time.
“Doral's dense development creates a pronounced heat island effect, particularly in the ZIP codes surrounding 33178 and 33172.”
Whether your project is a targeted shower upgrade in a Doral Estates single-family home or a comprehensive bathroom remodeling transformation in a Costa del Sol estate, Haven's 20 in-house crews bring licensed GC oversight — led by Aldo Dellamano — to every job site. And for homeowners thinking about long-term livability, we can integrate accessibility upgrades such as grab bars, fold-down benches, and widened entries into any walk-in shower design without compromising aesthetics.

Storm History
Hurricanes in Doral
Hurricane Irma (2017, Category 4): Doral's newer construction performed well during Irma due to post-Andrew building codes, though high-rise condos sustained window and roof damage from sustained Category 4 winds.
Inland location moderates salt air exposure, but the area faces intense rainfall during the wet season and significant heat island effect from dense development.
Permitting: City of Doral was incorporated in 2003 and has its own Building Department. Roofing permits include wind mitigation inspection at no additional cost to homeowners.
