Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Pinewood
Bathroom remodeling in Pinewood typically runs $9,000 – $28,000 for a full remodel, with smaller jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. We coordinate every Pinewood job from our Miami office, and our crews work these streets every week. Most Pinewood projects clear permits and finish within three to six weeks, but the floodplain review that comes with this neighborhood can add time if the job moves a drain line. Call (850) 780-8123 to get a written price before anything starts.
We know Pinewood’s homes because we’ve opened walls in them. The concrete block construction, the flat roofs, the 1950s and 60s slabs that hold moisture differently than newer builds. That matters when you’re planning a shower remodel or replacing a bathtub. You don’t want a crew learning Pinewood’s quirks on your dime.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Miami Is Pinewood’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Pinewood homeowners call us after other quotes fall apart. The usual reason: a contractor gave a verbal number, started work, then discovered the flood zone AE paperwork and walked away. We don’t do that. Every Pinewood bathroom quote we deliver includes the permit line items, the floodplain review if it applies, and the waterproofing detail Miami-Dade will actually inspect. Written down, before a single tool comes off the truck.
Our crews arrive with name and photo sent to your phone before the visit, in clean marked uniforms, with photo ID badges at the door. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it applies to every job in Pinewood, from a vanity swap on NW 95th Street to a full bath remodel off NW 103rd. Isaac Pruett has run Mason Remodeling with this structure since 2004, as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. Pinewood customers get the same verification routine whether the job takes two days or two months.
We also pick up the phone. A live person answers at (850) 780-8123 around the clock, every day. Pinewood homeowners with a bathroom torn apart at 9pm on a Saturday get a human, not a call tree.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Pinewood
A Shower Remodel in Pinewood means more than swapping tile. It means rebuilding the waterproofing system under that tile to meet Miami-Dade’s moisture code, which is stricter here than in neighboring cities because Pinewood sits in a hurricane-exposed floodplain. We regularly replace showers in Pinewood homes where standard drywall was used behind the original tile, and the studs behind it are soft to the touch. A proper shower remodel here starts by stripping to the studs, checking the slab for moisture, then installing cement board or waterproof foam board with a Schlueter membrane rated for continuous water contact. In Pinewood, that work runs $3,000 – $8,500 for a shower replacement, or $4,500 – $12,000 for a walk-in shower installation.
Waterproofing That Passes Pinewood Inspections
Miami-Dade inspectors will look for one thing in a Pinewood shower: a continuous waterproof barrier. Not green board, not “water-resistant” drywall. We install foam board or cement board with taped and sealed seams, then a Schlueter membrane that carries an ICC-ES report the inspector recognizes. That’s the difference between passing rough-in on the first visit and paying a re-inspection fee.
When Pinewood’s Climate Dictates the Scope
Pinewood’s tropical monsoon climate means humidity hammers bathrooms year-round. A shower remodel here should include a properly vented exhaust fan if the room doesn’t have one, because trapped moisture in a concrete block home leads to mold on the backside of drywall within a season. We include that in our Pinewood quotes when the existing ventilation is undersized.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Pinewood
A Tub to Shower Conversion in Pinewood typically costs $3,500 – $10,000, and it’s the most common bathroom job we do here. Many Pinewood single-family homes were built between 1950 and 1975, and the original cast iron tubs have outlived their finish. Converting that tub to a walk-in shower gives you a safer entry, a modern look, and a shower pan we can waterproof to current code. We recently completed a tub-to-shower conversion in a 1958 concrete block home on NW 103rd Street where the subfloor had 60 years of moisture wicking up from the slab. Our crew removed the cast iron tub, repaired the subfloor, and installed a Schlueter waterproofing membrane before setting a low-curb shower pan with Kohler fixtures. The final sign-off from Miami-Dade County included both plumbing and floodplain compliance stamps, which the homeowner needed for their windstorm insurance renewal.
Code Work You Don’t See
Here’s what a lowball quote for a Pinewood tub-to-shower conversion leaves out: the drain line relocation often triggers a floodplain review, because almost every lot in Pinewood sits in FEMA flood zone AE. If your conversion moves the drain, the county may require a finished-floor elevation certificate from a licensed surveyor. Our quotes include that line item when it applies, so the number you sign matches the number on the final invoice.
Materials That Hold Up
We’re a partner dealer for Kohler, Moen, and Toto fixtures, and we pair those with waterproofing systems from Schlueter and similar spec-grade manufacturers. Pinewood homeowners can pick a shower pan, valve, and trim kit from fixtures we know will pass Miami-Dade inspection, instead of whatever a big-box shelf has in stock.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pinewood
Pinewood homes commonly carry fixtures and framing from brands like Boral, PGT, and CGI, especially where builders spec’d impact-rated or moisture-resistant products. Our crews work with these product lines regularly and know the installation requirements specific to Miami-Dade’s wind and water codes. We keep common replacement parts in local supply, which shortens turnaround when a Pinewood job calls for a matching trim kit or a specific waterproofing detail. You won’t wait a week on a part that should’ve been on the shelf.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Pinewood Homes
- Slab moisture wicking into bathroom subfloors. Pinewood’s older concrete slabs hold groundwater from the high water table, and original builders rarely installed a vapor barrier. We test for slab moisture before any shower pan goes down.
- Non-compliant waterproofing behind original shower tile. Many Pinewood homes were built before Miami-Dade tightened its moisture-resistance code. We regularly find standard drywall behind shower tile, which has to come out.
- Undersized exhaust ventilation. In Pinewood’s humid climate, a bathroom fan that can’t move enough air leads to peeling paint, mold, and failing grout within a couple of years.
- Missing floodplain documentation on past work. If a previous owner remodeled without pulling permits, the missing paperwork becomes your problem at resale or insurance renewal. We pull permits on every Pinewood bathroom job and leave you with the closing documents.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Pinewood
Yes, if the job moves a drain line or adds a toilet, a floodplain review is typically required in Pinewood because virtually all lots sit in FEMA flood zone AE. The county may require a finished-floor elevation certificate from a licensed surveyor. If you’re only replacing fixtures in the same footprint, you can usually skip the floodplain review. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll tell you on the first call whether your job triggers one.
Miami-Dade requires a continuous waterproof membrane behind every shower wall, not standard drywall or green board. That means cement board or waterproof foam board with taped and sealed seams, plus a Schlueter-style membrane rated for continuous water contact. Our Pinewood shower quotes include this by default, because it’s the only way the rough-in inspection passes.
It can, and more importantly, it gives you documentation when the insurer asks for proof of compliant work. A permitted remodel with a Miami-Dade sign-off on waterproofing and any floodplain compliance shows your insurer the work met current code. Unpermitted work done by a previous owner is a common reason insurers non-renew policies in Pinewood. We provide closing documents on every job for exactly this reason.
Because Pinewood’s flood zone AE status and Miami-Dade’s inspection requirements add steps neighbors in Miami Shores or North Miami don’t face. A drain relocation can trigger a surveyor’s elevation certificate and a floodplain review, which adds permits and time. The lowball quote doesn’t include those line items. Ours does, which is why our number matches the final invoice. Call (850) 780-8123 for a written quote that covers the full scope.
A compliant Pinewood bathroom quote should include: the permit fee, the floodplain review line item if a drain moves, a finished-floor elevation certificate from a licensed surveyor when required, the waterproofing membrane and board specified by name, and a change order process that won’t surprise you at the punch list. A lowball quote skips those and banks on you paying for them later. We write all of it down before work starts.
