Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across University Park
A full bathroom remodel in University Park typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, with walk-in shower installations falling between $4,500 and $12,000. Those numbers reflect what we see across this quiet, unincorporated Miami-Dade enclave, where most homes are concrete-block ranches built between the 1950s and 1990s. Our crews know University Park’s streets, its permitting path through Miami-Dade County, and the wind-load requirements that shape every wall we open. Call (850) 780-8123 to get a written price before any work starts.
If you live near Southwest 120th Street, Southwest 107th Avenue, or anywhere within the residential grid west of the Turnpike, you already know University Park is different from Doral or Miami proper. No commercial strips. No high-rises. Just single-family homes on big lots, many of them carrying original terrazzo floors and jalousie windows that predate Hurricane Andrew. That matters when you’re planning a bathroom remodel, because what’s behind those walls was built under a code that no longer exists.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Miami Is University Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve worked inside enough University Park homes to know what’s behind the tile. Pre-Andrew framing. Missing hurricane straps. Sill plates that should have been replaced twenty years ago. A bathroom remodel here is rarely just tile and fixtures, and anyone who quotes it that way is setting you up for a failed inspection and a surprise invoice. Mason Remodeling writes a line-item price before a single tool is unpacked, and that price includes what the code actually requires.
Isaac Pruett leads our crews with a simple standard: every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before they arrive. When the van pulls up to your University Park driveway, the person at your door is wearing a clean uniform and a photo ID badge. You know who’s coming. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s not optional.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles the full scope for University Park homeowners: permits pulled, inspections scheduled, waste hauled, and a written guarantee that covers workmanship for 365 days from the completion date. If something isn’t right within that year, we make it right at no cost to you. That’s the promise that separates us from the crew that hands you a verbal estimate and disappears.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in University Park
Hiring a Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in University Park means hiring someone who understands Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, because that code governs every wall you open. A full remodel here often includes moving plumbing, replacing a cast-iron tub with a walk-in shower, re-tiling a wet wall, and upgrading the electrical to GFCI-protected circuits. When we open a bathroom wall in this neighborhood, we check the load path from ceiling to foundation. Homes built before the post-Hurricane Andrew building code frequently lack the continuous load path required for modern wind loads, so any remodel must verify and, if needed, upgrade hurricane straps and anchors to pass inspection sign-off.
A full bathroom remodel in University Park runs $9,000 – $28,000. That range reflects the difference between a surface refresh and a gut-to-studs rebuild with structural upgrades. Small bathrooms start around $5,000. We’ll tell you which end of that range your project sits on, in writing, before we start.
Full Bathroom Remodeling With Code Compliance Built In
Gutting a bath to the studs means the inspector will see everything. If the framing lacks hurricane straps or the sill plates are untreated lumber, the permit gets rejected and your project stalls. We price the fix up front so it never becomes a change order.
Small Bathroom Remodels Without Cutting Structural Corners
A compact guest bath or hall bath can still hide wind-load deficiencies. We scope small remodels at $5,000 – $12,000 and still check the wall cavity and subfloor before closing anything up. A low price means nothing if the rough-in inspection fails.
Walk In Shower in University Park
A Walk In Shower in University Park is the single most common upgrade we install, and it starts at $4,500 – $12,000 depending on whether you’re converting a tub or replacing an existing shower stall. The framing is the hard part. A 1960s concrete-block ranch near Southwest 120th Street may look solid from the outside, but when our crew opened a bathroom wall for a walk-in shower install, they found missing hurricane straps at the roof-to-wall connection and non-pressure-treated sill plates. We brought the ceiling-to-foundation load path up to code, secured the subfloor against moisture, and documented the upgraded rough-in so the homeowner’s insurance underwriter could verify wind-mitigation credits before inspection sign-off.
Frameless glass enclosures in this climate need impact-rated glass or properly anchored glass that meets Miami-Dade wind-borne debris requirements. We don’t install unprotected glass in a hurricane zone. The enclosure is a large opening, and code treats it like one.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion With Structural Verification
Converting a tub to a shower in University Park runs $3,500 – $10,000. Before we set the pan and tile, we open the adjacent wall cavity to verify the load path and check for hidden moisture damage. Old jalousie windows often need to become impact-rated units, which is a separate line item we’ll show you in the written quote.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures Built to HVHZ Code
Glass is the part of a shower that wind actually hits. In University Park, that means impact-rated glass or properly anchored tempered glass with documentation proving compliance. A cheap enclosure from a general contractor who doesn’t pull permits can fail an insurance audit later. We spec products that carry Miami-Dade product approval numbers and pass inspection the first time.
Trusted Brands We Service in University Park
Mason Remodeling is built on specification-grade partnerships, and University Park homeowners benefit from that when it’s time to pick finishes. We work directly with Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe for fixtures that perform in South Florida’s hard water and humidity. For cabinetry, we use KraftMaid and Wellborn. Countertops come from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone. When a bathroom remodel includes exterior work like a roof tie-in or flashing around a window we’re replacing, we specify GAF roofing materials because they carry the Miami-Dade product approvals inspectors want to see. We don’t show you a product catalog and tell you to order a homeowner-grade fixture. We hand you vetted, professional-grade options that hold up in this climate.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in University Park Homes
- Missing hurricane straps behind bathroom walls. Homes built before the post-Andrew code often lack the roof-to-wall connectors that create a continuous load path. The inspector will flag it, and cheap quotes skip it.
- Moisture damage from decades of humidity. University Park’s subtropical humidity works its way into wall cavities around old tubs and shower pans. We often find rotted subfloor and mold colonies that need remediation before tile goes down.
- Jalousie windows that fail wind-borne debris code. Those old glass louver windows are charming until a remodel triggers a requirement for impact-rated glazing. We replace them with code-compliant units and document the change.
- Non-pressure-treated sill plates on concrete slabs. Untreated lumber against a slab wicks moisture and rots. In pre-Andrew University Park homes, this is common. We replace it with pressure-treated stock and add the required anchors.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in University Park
University Park falls under Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which requires all structural connections to withstand wind loads up to 175 mph depending on the structure’s exposure rating. Products must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Florida Product Approval number. Impact windows, roof-to-wall straps, and anchored glass enclosures are common pre-approved products we specify for this market. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll show you the specific product numbers for your scope.
Yes, in most cases. Opening walls for plumbing or electrical work exposes the framing to inspection, and Miami-Dade inspectors can require hurricane strap upgrades, pressure-treated sill plate replacement, and impact-rated window retrofits as a condition of passing the rough-in inspection. This is not optional, and a contractor who doesn’t include it in the written price is setting you up for a stop-work order and a supplementary invoice. We price it up front.
Documented wind-mitigation credits can reduce your premium, sometimes significantly, because insurers rate homes by verified structural upgrades like hurricane straps, impact glass, and continuous load paths. When we complete a remodel that includes structural verification, we provide documentation you can send to your underwriter. Insurance discounts vary by carrier, but the paperwork is written for their review. Call (850) 780-8123 to see what your remodel would include.
Yes. Replacing a jalousie bathroom window with an impact-rated unit is a common line item in University Park remodels, and it fits within the $9,000 – $28,000 full-bath range when planned from the start. Impact windows for a small bathroom opening cost less than most homeowners expect. We spec Miami-Dade approved units and handle the permit line item for it.
Do not proceed without one. Miami-Dade County requires permits for any bathroom remodel that alters plumbing, electrical, or structural framing. A contractor who says otherwise is either not licensed or not planning to pass inspection, which leaves you liable for code violations, failed insurance claims, and unpermitted work on your property record. Mason Remodeling pulls permits on every University Park project, schedules the inspections, and stands behind the sign-off. Call (850) 780-8123 for a free estimate that includes the full permit process.
