Pricing & Cost FAQs
A full kitchen remodel in Miami typically runs $45,000 to $95,000 depending on cabinet quality, countertop material, and whether you're moving plumbing or electrical. A cosmetic refresh with refaced cabinets and new counters usually lands between $18,000 and $35,000. Miami's older housing stock in neighborhoods like Shenandoah and the Roads often means some surprise work behind the walls, which is why we put every price in writing before we start. Call (850) 780-8123 for a free written estimate on your specific kitchen.
A typical bathroom remodel in Miami costs between $18,000 and $45,000. A basic upgrade with a new vanity, toilet, and tile runs $12,000 to $20,000, while a full gut with a walk-in shower and custom tile work pushes toward $40,000 and up. Condo bathrooms in Brickell and Edgewater often involve additional building requirements, which affects the final number. We give you a fixed written price before any work begins. Call (850) 780-8123 to schedule your free estimate.
Whole home remodels in Miami generally fall between $120,000 and $350,000 depending on square footage and how much structural work is involved. Homes built in the 1950s and 60s in areas like Westchester and Coral Way frequently need updated electrical panels and plumbing, which adds to the total. We itemize every cost in a written line-item quote so you see exactly where your money goes. Call (850) 780-8123 to get a detailed estimate for your home.
No. Estimates are free. We walk your space, talk through what you want, and hand you a written price before you commit to anything. That written price stays fixed, no change orders unless you ask for something different mid-project. Call (850) 780-8123 to schedule a free estimate at your Miami home.
No. The price we put in writing is the price you pay unless you change the scope. If you add a new request mid-project, we write a change order with its own price and you approve it before that work starts. If we find hidden damage behind a wall in your Doral or Palmetto Bay home, we show you what we found, explain the fix, and give you the added cost in writing first. Call (850) 780-8123 to talk through how fixed pricing works.
Prices vary because contractors quote different scopes of work. Some bids exclude permits, dump fees, or finishing details that others include. Some contractors in Miami flush with seasonal demand price high while a smaller outfit may underbid then hit you with extras. At Mason Remodeling Co Miami, we give you a written line-item price that includes permits, labor, and materials, so when you compare bids you're comparing apples to apples. Call (850) 780-8123 for an estimate that holds up.
Service & Process FAQs
First, you call (850) 780-8123. A coordinator answers, hears what you need, and connects you with Isaac Pruett and the local Miami team. We schedule a free estimate. We walk your space, listen to what you want, and put a written quote in your hand. Once you approve it, we schedule the work, pull permits where required, and send you the name and photo of every technician before they arrive. That's how it goes from call to completion.
Yes. We pull all required permits for your project, whether it's a kitchen remodel in South Miami or a bathroom conversion in Miami Springs. Miami-Dade and the various municipalities each have their own requirements, and we navigate them so you don't have to. We also make sure required inspections happen and pass. That's part of what the written price covers. Call (850) 780-8123 to ask about permits for your specific project.
Most kitchen remodels in Miami take 6 to 10 weeks from tear-out to final inspection. Custom cabinetry adds lead time, sometimes 2 to 4 extra weeks for fabrication. Condo projects in Brickell or Downtown Miami often need board approval and freight elevator scheduling, which can extend the schedule. We give you a clear timeline in writing before we begin so you can plan around the work. Call (850) 780-8123 to talk about your target dates.
A standard bathroom remodel in Miami usually takes 3 to 6 weeks. A simple swap of a vanity, toilet, and tile can finish in 2 to 3 weeks, while a full gut with custom shower glass and moving plumbing runs longer. Older homes in neighborhoods like Olympia Heights sometimes reveal pipe issues that add a few days. We lay out the schedule upfront and stick to it. Call (850) 780-8123 for a timeline specific to your bathroom.
Yes. We've worked in condo buildings across Brickell, Edgewater, and Sunny Isles Beach. Condo work involves building rules, insurance certificates, elevator scheduling, and sometimes limited work hours. We handle the building paperwork and coordinate with your association. If you own a condo and want to remodel a kitchen or bath, call (850) 780-8123 and we'll walk you through what your building will require.
For anything involving plumbing, waterproofing, or electrical, hire a pro. A DIY bathroom remodel in Miami that leaks behind the tile creates mold fast in our humidity. Water damage from an improper shower pan can cost far more than the remodel itself. You can certainly paint and swap hardware. But when it comes to a shower valve or moving a toilet, call (850) 780-8123 and let a trained crew do it right the first time.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We install and work with Delta, American Standard, Toto, and Schluter among others. Delta faucets hold up well in Miami's hard water. Toto toilets are a favorite for their flush reliability. Schluter waterproofing systems go into many of our shower builds because they protect against the moisture that Miami humidity brings. We'll help you choose what fits your budget and your space. Call (850) 780-8123 to talk fixtures.
Yes, we'll install fixtures you purchase. We ask that you check with us on specs before you buy, because not every fixture works in every Miami home. A wall-mount faucet needs specific rough-in plumbing, and some imported fixtures don't match standard US connections. We'd rather catch that before your walls are closed. Send us what you're considering. Call (850) 780-8123 to run your choices by our team.
Toto and American Standard are the two brands we recommend most in Miami. Both hold up to hard water, both have replacement parts easy to find locally, and both have models that handle the humidity without sweating. If you're in an older home in University Park with original plumbing, we can steer you toward a model that fits without reworking the waste line. Call (850) 780-8123 and we'll help you pick the right one.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Every pro working under the Mason Remodeling name is required to hold the license and insurance the state of Florida requires for their trade. We carry the documentation and can provide it to your building or association before work starts. If you're in a condo in Pinewood or a house in Miami Lakes, just ask. Call (850) 780-8123 and our team will send what you need.
The Threshold Standard is the code every Mason Remodeling technician follows. Background-check and identity-verify every technician. Send the tech's name and photo before the visit. Show a photo ID badge at the door, every time. Arrive in a clean, marked uniform. Put the price in writing before any work starts. Every threshold is a promise. If anyone arrives who you were not told to expect, that visit is on us and we make it right.
Yes. Before any technician comes to your Miami home, we send you their name and photo. When they arrive, they show a photo ID badge that matches. You never open your door wondering who's on the other side. That's the Threshold Standard. If anyone shows up who you weren't told to expect, the visit is on us. Call (850) 780-8123 to experience it yourself.

Call (850) 780-8123 with any questions about our crew.

Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Every project we complete is covered by a workmanship warranty. If something we built fails because of how we built it, we repair it. Manufacturer warranties on products like Delta faucets or Toto toilets are separate and we help you register those. Ask us for the specific warranty terms for your project. Call (850) 780-8123 to talk through coverage before you sign.
