Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami
A full bathroom remodel in Miami typically runs $10,620 to $33,040, and most projects take two to six weeks depending on what’s behind the walls. If you’re in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Little Havana, or anywhere else in Miami-Dade, call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work starts. That’s not a favor we offer sometimes – it’s how every Mason Remodeling Co Miami job begins.
We’ve been opening up Miami bathrooms long enough to know one thing for certain: the tile you can see rarely tells you what’s underneath. Pre-1992 concrete-block homes along US-1 and Bird Road often hide corroded rebar and spalled concrete from decades of salt air. Opening a wall can trigger a 40-year recertification repair that wasn’t in the original bid, which is why working with a General Contractor in Miami who plans for that matters. You’ll know exactly who’s coming to your door, what it costs, and what happens if the scope changes.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Miami Is Miami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Mason Remodeling has been part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies since 2004, and our Miami crews work to the Threshold Standard on every job. That means every technician is background-checked and identity-verified. Before your crew arrives, you get their name and photo. At the door, they show a photo ID badge and arrive in a clean marked uniform. For homeowners who are often alone during the day, parents with young kids, or older adults, that’s not a nicety – it’s the whole point.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team serves the full Miami area, from Brickell high-rises to 1950s ranch homes in Westchester. We know what a permit triggers in Miami-Dade County, what the coastal wind-load requirements mean for a bathroom window, and why waterproofing on concrete block is a different trade than waterproofing on drywall. That local knowledge shows up in the price before we start, not as a surprise invoice after we open the wall.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Miami
A Shower Remodel in Miami carries a different weight than the same job in Orlando or Tampa, because these bathrooms sit in concrete-block structures where moisture gets trapped differently. You’re not just swapping tile. You’re often rebuilding a waterproof envelope against a substrate that doesn’t breathe. We tear out to the block, inspect the steel, and rebuild with a waterproofing system rated for Miami’s humidity and salt exposure. Expect to pay $5,310 to $14,160 for a walk-in shower installation, or $3,540 to $10,030 for a full shower replacement.
What We Check Before We Tile
Before any tile goes up, we inspect the condition of structural steel behind the wall. In pre-1992 concrete-block homes, rebar rusts from decades of humidity and salt air. If it’s spalled, we bring in a structural engineer and write a change order – approved by you in writing – before anything else happens.
Waterproofing That Actually Holds
Miami bathrooms need a waterproofing method that works on masonry, not just drywall. We use Schluter membranes and modern waterproof boards rated for direct-bond tile over concrete block. No shortcuts. The inspector sees it before the tile covers it.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Miami
A Tub to Shower Conversion in Miami is one of the most practical upgrades for older concrete-block homes and mid-century condos, especially for homeowners who want easier access without a full gut remodel. The job typically runs $4,130 to $11,800. We remove the tub, correct the drain location to meet current code, build a low-threshold shower pan, and install grab-bar blocking inside the walls – even if you don’t need grab bars today, the blocking is there later.
When the Old Tub Is Cast Iron
Many 1950s and 1960s Miami homes have cast-iron tubs set in a mortar bed. Removal is labor-heavy and often breaks the surrounding tile. We factor that into the quote from the start, so it’s not a surprise line item on day three.
Condo Conversions and Drain Access
In condo buildings along Brickell or Biscayne Boulevard, drain rerouting is a coordination job. We work with building management on shutoff windows and make sure the plumbing changes won’t affect the unit below. This is exactly the kind of thing a written price and a clear schedule handles up front.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We stock Delta and Toto parts for Miami-area jobs, offer Viewlux repair in Miami, and install Schluter waterproofing systems on every shower and tub surround. We also work with American Standard tubs and fixtures. If your Miami condo association requires specific fixture brands or finish standards, let us know before you choose your tile – we’ll help you pick options that pass review the first time.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Corroded rebar and spalled concrete in pre-1992 walls. Decades of salt air and humidity rust the steel inside concrete block until it cracks the block face. This is the biggest reason a Miami bathroom quote moves after demo.
- Failed waterproofing behind 1960s and 1970s tile. Older bathrooms often have a single layer of drywall or mud-set tile with no modern moisture barrier. Opening the wall reveals rot, mold, and crumbling substrate.
- Unpermitted prior work that fails current code. A previous owner may have moved plumbing or added wiring without a permit. When we open the wall and the inspector gets involved, that old work has to be corrected.
- High water table and drainage issues in low-lying neighborhoods. Homes in areas like Allapattah and Little Havana sit on Miami’s porous limestone, which affects how drains and vent lines behave. We check drainage during every bathroom tear-out.

What moves the number in Miami is usually what’s behind the tile. A cosmetic refresh of a 1990s condo bathroom stays at the low end. A 1950s concrete-block bathroom with corroded lintels, old wiring, and failed waterproofing climbs toward the high end. We write allowances for tile and fixtures into the contract, and we price surprises in writing before we touch anything. Isaac Pruett and our team deliver a written price before any work begins – every project, every time.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Miami
Yes, in most cases. If you’re changing plumbing, electrical, or waterproofing – which almost every bathroom remodel does – Miami-Dade County requires a permit, even if walls stay put. A fixture swap with no plumbing change might not need one, but as soon as we open a wall and touch the drain or wiring, we pull the permit. Skipping it saves a few hundred dollars up front and risks failing a future inspection or a 40-year recertification. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project triggers before we bid it.
The usual cause is corroded rebar, failed waterproofing, or unpermitted prior work that wasn’t visible until demo. In Miami, pre-1992 concrete-block homes frequently hide rusted steel behind tile, and that needs structural repair before we can rebuild. This is why we do a pre-inspection and write allowances into the contract. If we find something, you get a written change order with a price before we proceed – never a surprise invoice. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll explain what to expect in your specific building type.
We waterproof concrete block differently than drywall. The block itself doesn’t breathe like gypsum, so we apply a direct-bond waterproofing membrane – typically Schluter Kerdi or a liquid-applied system rated for masonry – before any tile. In coastal areas, we also check for salt-related spalling and repair that first, because waterproofing over compromised block doesn’t hold. Call (850) 780-8123 for an assessment of your specific walls.
Adding an impact-rated window to a Miami bathroom adds roughly $800 to $2,500 depending on the size and the frame material, above the cost of a standard window. If you’re east of US-1 or in a wind-borne debris zone, the building code may require it anyway. We’ll flag that during the estimate so the bid reflects the code requirement from day one. Call (850) 780-8123 for a written line-item quote.
In many cases, yes. A bathroom remodel itself doesn’t trigger recertification, but if the building’s recertification is pending or overdue, and our work touches electrical or plumbing, the inspector may require corrections to the entire unit before signing off. We coordinate with your condo association and building management so you understand what’s coming. Better to know before the wall is open. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll walk through your building’s status with you.
