Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Coral Gables
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Coral Gables does more than swap a vanity and call it done. Nearly all Coral Gables homes predate 1970, so a full bath remodel often means reworking drain lines, replacing cast-iron stacks, and bringing plumbing and electrical up to current Miami-Dade code before tile goes back on. A complete bathroom remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000. A small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 to $12,000. Both price ranges assume the walls come open and something unexpected gets found, because in Coral Gables, that’s the norm, not the exception.
Permit and Code Reality
Coral Gables and Miami-Dade require permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural changes on bathroom remodels. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and make sure every rough-in passes before walls close. Unpermitted work has a way of surfacing when you sell the house or when the next inspector looks behind an access panel.
Written Price, Not a Guess
We deliver a written line-item price before work starts. If a wall opens and reveals a cast-iron drain line that must be reworked, that becomes a written change order you approve before we proceed. You’ll never get a surprise invoice at the end.
Walk In Shower in Coral Gables
A Walk In Shower in Coral Gables is one of the most common upgrades we install, especially in older homes where a tub no longer fits how the homeowner actually lives. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on substrate condition, waterproofing method, glass enclosure, and fixture selection. Tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000. These projects often become a necessity when a homeowner wants to age in place without stepping over a tub wall.
Waterproofing Done Right
South Florida humidity punishes poorly waterproofed showers. We use full waterproofing systems and pay attention to the Schluter strip, the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring. In Coral Gables, a shower built without proper waterproofing will show mold and moisture damage within two to three humid seasons.
Glass and Tile Choices
Frameless glass shower enclosures and larger-format tile are popular choices in Coral Gables master baths. We stock and source specification-grade tile, fixtures, and hardware through our material partnerships, so you’re not limited to whatever’s on a big-box shelf.
Trusted Brands We Service in Coral Gables
We work with cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, surfacing from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. For Coral Gables customers, that means we can source parts locally and keep turnaround tight. On Alhambra Circle in Coral Gables, our crew pulled a hall bath down to the studs and found cast-iron drain lines under the tub that were past service life, so we replaced the rough-in with PVC and fit a KraftMaid vanity with a Cambria top. We added a walk-in shower with Kohler fixtures and got inspection sign-off on both the plumbing and electrical before the final punch list cleared.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Coral Gables Homes
- Cast-iron drain lines at the end of their service life. Homes built before 1970 often have original cast-iron stacks and traps. When we open a floor or wall, we regularly find pipes with rust-through or cracks that must be replaced before tile goes back.
- Non-conforming drain runs. Older Coral Gables floor plans sometimes routed waste lines in ways that no longer meet current Miami-Dade plumbing code. A simple vanity swap can turn into a re-route when the existing trap arm is too long or improperly sloped.
- Undersized electrical for modern fixtures. Older bath circuits were not designed for heated floors, LED mirrors, and multiple GFCI outlets. Electrical upgrades are a common part of a Coral Gables bathroom remodel.
- Moisture damage hidden behind tile. Years of South Florida humidity, coupled with older shower waterproofing methods, often leaves framing and subfloor damage that is invisible until demo starts.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Coral Gables
Yes. Coral Gables and Miami-Dade County require permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural changes on bathroom remodels. We pull all required permits, schedule inspections, and do not close walls until the work passes. Skipping the permit might feel faster, but unpermitted work surfaces at resale and when the next inspector sees it. Call (803) 680-2547 to get your permit question answered for your specific project.
Because most Coral Gables homes predate 1970, hidden cast-iron drain lines, undersized venting, or old wiring often must be brought up to current Miami-Dade code once walls open. That work cannot be seen during the estimate walkthrough. When it appears, we issue a written change order with the exact additional cost before doing the work, so the price never changes without your approval.
Walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, and smaller footprint layouts that preserve the original floor plan tend to work best in Coral Gables’ older homes. These options let you modernize without moving load-bearing walls or chasing plumbing through concrete slabs. A full remodeling team can assess your home’s structure and recommend the approach that fits both the house and your budget. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate.
A standard full bathroom remodel in Coral Gables typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on permitting, material lead times, and what we find behind the walls. A small bathroom or single-scope project like a walk-in shower installation is often 1 to 2 weeks. We build a realistic calendar into every written quote, and we update you if materials or inspections shift the schedule.
It should include a line-item scope of work, the exact materials and fixture allowances, a draw schedule, permit responsibility, and the written guarantee terms. Our contracts state coverage plainly, including what is covered, what is excluded, and for how long. If a repair or installation fails, you get a free return visit. No dispute process. No conditions. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule your walkthrough with Isaac Pruett and the Mason Remodeling team.
