Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Olympia Heights
A full bathroom remodel in Olympia Heights typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller baths and tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500. Most projects in this unincorporated Miami-Dade suburb take two to six weeks depending on whether you’re keeping the original layout or moving plumbing. That’s the number homeowners ask us first, so we’ll put it up front. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins, not a vague verbal range that grows on the final bill.
We know this area’s homes. The CBS ranch off Bird Road with original cast-iron drains. The 1960s split-level near Ludlam with a bathroom that hasn’t been touched since the Nixon administration. The newer Mediterranean builds going up on teardown lots along Coral Way. Olympia Heights isn’t Coral Gables and it isn’t Doral. The permitting rules, the housing stock, the hidden surprises behind the tile, they’re specific here, and we scope for them before we quote.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Miami Is Olympia Heights’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Since 2004, Mason Remodeling has worked as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. Every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. Before anyone steps onto your property, you get their name and photo. At the door, they show a photo ID badge and arrive in a clean marked uniform. You know exactly who is in your home. For homeowners who are often home alone, parents with young kids, or older adults, that’s not a convenience. It’s the reason they call us.
Our Olympia Heights customers tend to ask the same three things: who is coming, what it costs, and what happens if something isn’t right. We answer all three before the first tool is unpacked. Every project gets a written price in advance. Every completed job carries a written guarantee with stated terms, including a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No call trees, no voicemail loops.
Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he holds every project to the same standard: permit-ready design, written line-item pricing, and craftsmanship that lasts. Olympia Heights homeowners have enough to worry about with county inspections and hurricane season. Your bathroom remodel shouldn’t be one of them.

One Day Bath Remodel in Olympia Heights
A One Day Bath Remodel in Olympia Heights is exactly what it sounds like: we replace the tub or shower surround, install a new base and wall system, and swap the valve trim and fixtures, all in a single working day. It’s a good fit for a 1950s or 1960s CBS home where the bathroom is dated but structurally sound, and you don’t want to tear out walls or move plumbing. Most of these jobs run $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether we’re doing a tub-to-shower conversion or a like-for-like shower replacement, and what fixtures you choose.
A homeowner off SW 56th Street called us this spring because her tile surround was failing and grout was crumbling into the tub. We replaced the entire surround with a Kohler acrylic system, swapped the aging three-handle valve for a pressure-balanced Moen, and had her showering in it by that evening. No dumpster in the driveway for two weeks. No permit tangles. Just a clean, new bathroom.
What the Job Includes
We remove the old tub or shower pan, inspect the subfloor and wall framing for moisture damage, replace what’s rotted, then install the new base and wall surround. We also replace the drain assembly, install a new faucet and valve trim, and caulk and seal every joint. If you want a curved shower rod or a grab bar, we add those while we’re there.
When It Makes Sense
If your bathroom floor and layout are in good shape but the tub or shower looks its age, a one-day remodel gets you a new bathing space without the cost or disruption of a full gut. It’s also a smart option if you need a safer shower for aging in place. A lower threshold and built-in grab bar placement can be included.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Olympia Heights
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Olympia Heights has to do more than hang tile. There’s a reason so many bathroom projects here hit a wall at inspection: unincorporated Miami-Dade means the county, not a city building department, signs off on your permit, and HVHZ code applies to everything. That’s the High Velocity Hurricane Zone standard. If you’re moving a sink or reconfiguring plumbing on a CBS wall, you need a permit. If your house still has original cast-iron drain lines from 1962, those need replacing before any new wet wall gets signed off. We handle all of it.
A full bathroom remodel here typically runs $9,000 to $28,000. The spread depends on whether we’re keeping the existing footprint or moving walls, what finishes you select, and what we find when we open the walls. We pull the permit, we schedule the county inspection, and we don’t disappear when a change order is needed. You get a written price on everything before work starts, and no price changes once work begins unless the scope changes and you approve it in writing.
Permits and Existing Plumbing
Many Olympia Heights homes still have their original cast-iron drain lines. We camera-scope the drain line before we quote, because if that pipe is rotted, replacing it is part of the job, not a surprise add-on. Same with the electrical panel. A 60-amp panel from the Johnson administration can’t always support heated floors or a dedicated GFCI circuit for a new shower system. We check.
Terrazzo and Hidden Floors
One detail we see constantly between Bird Road and Coral Way: original terrazzo floors hiding under carpet or tile. Those floors are beautiful and often worth saving, but demo has to be careful. Grinding and restoration add cost, while covering them up saves money. We’ll tell you what we think before we swing a hammer, and we’ll put the cost of saving or covering the terrazzo in writing.
Trusted Brands We Service in Olympia Heights
We install and service a wide range of specification-grade fixtures and finishes in Olympia Heights, so you’re not limited to what a big-box store stocks. We work with Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe on faucets, shower systems, and toilets, and with Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone on vanity tops and surfaces. Need impact-rated windows or roof tie-downs as part of a bathroom addition? We’re certified with GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning and coordinate those roof assemblies under the same permit. When we quote your bathroom remodel, the brand choices are itemized in the written price, down to the model number.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Olympia Heights Homes
- Red-tagged rough-ins on CBS plumbing changes. Miami-Dade County requires a permit for any plumbing reconfiguration on concrete block stucco walls. Skip the permit and the inspector red-tags the work at rough-in sign-off, which means you’re paying us to undo and redo it. We pull permits before demo starts, every time.
- Hidden terrazzo under old tile. It’s a good surprise if you love those original concrete floors, but it changes the demo approach. We look for terrazzo before we quote so you’re not hit with a change order when we pop the first tile.
- Cast-iron drain lines at the end of their life. A 1963 ranch off SW 45th Street near Ludlam had a cast-iron toilet flange that was wicking moisture into the subfloor. We replaced the rot, ran new PVC rough-in, and upgraded the panel for the heated floor and walk-in shower. If we hadn’t opened that wall, the homeowner would have had a finished bathroom with a failing floor underneath.
- Septic setbacks on tight lots. A bathroom addition on a small Olympia Heights lot can run into Miami-Dade County’s septic tank setback rules. A new wet wall too close to the septic means the whole scope shifts after permits are pulled. We verify setbacks before we design the addition.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Olympia Heights
Yes. Olympia Heights is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so any plumbing reconfiguration, including moving a sink to a different wall, requires a county building permit under HVHZ code. We pull the permit ourselves and schedule the inspection so you don’t have to deal with the county’s online portal. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project needs.
In most cases, yes. Terrazzo is common under tile and carpet in Olympia Heights homes from the 1950s and 60s, and it’s often worth restoring. The demo has to be done carefully to avoid cracking it, and you may need grinding and polishing after we remove the old flooring. We’ll estimate restoration cost before we start so you can decide with real numbers, not a guess.
Two main reasons: septic setbacks and unincorporated county permitting. Many Olympia Heights homes are on septic, not sewer, and Miami-Dade County requires minimum distances between a new wet wall and the septic tank or drain field. On a tight lot, that can force a redesign. Coral Gables has municipal sewer throughout and its own building department, which simplifies some steps. We verify septic setbacks before quoting any addition.
Yes, that’s standard on our Olympia Heights projects. Original cast-iron drain lines from the mid-century are often corroded or cracked after 60-plus years in South Florida’s humid soil. We scope the drain line with a camera before we quote, and if it needs replacement, that’s included in your written price. We won’t tile over a failing drain line and call it done.
If the project requires them, yes. A bathroom addition or any work that opens exterior walls on an Olympia Heights home may trigger HVHZ requirements for impact-rated windows and roof tie-downs. We carry GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning certifications, so we can fold those items into the same permit and the same written quote. No separate contractor, no separate inspection. For an exact quote on your project, call (850) 780-8123.
