If you live in the 33175 or 33186 ZIP codes and want a written price before anything gets torn out, call (803) 680-2547.
We know Kendall West homes because we work in them every week. The 1980s construction stock off SW 147th Avenue and around Kendall West Park has its own personality: cast-iron drain lines, single-shaft plumbing, and subfloors that have seen four decades of South Florida humidity. That local knowledge matters when we scope a remodel, because what’s behind the tile drives the real cost.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Kendall West’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Most Kendall West homeowners we meet have one consistent worry before a remodel starts: who is walking through the door, and will the price hold. We answer both questions with the same discipline on every job. Every crew member who arrives at your home is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. Before the visit, you get the technician’s name and photo. At the door, they show a photo ID badge. No exceptions.
Isaac Pruett has built Bathroom Remodeling around a simple rule that has held since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family: a written price goes in your hand before any work starts. Not a rough verbal estimate that grows on the final bill. A written price, with line items, delivered before the first tool is unpacked. And every completed project carries a written guarantee covering 365 days from the completion date. If something isn’t right within that year, we return and make it right at no cost to you.
Kendall West customers also get something else: a live person who answers the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year. No call trees. No voicemail loops. When you call (803) 680-2547, a real person picks up.

One Day Bath Remodel in Kendall West
A One Day Bath Remodel in Kendall West is a specific type of job, not a marketing slogan. It means we replace the tub or shower surround, valves, trim, and drain assembly in a single day using a measured acrylic or composite system that fits your existing alcove. For a functional guest bath or a rental unit near Kendall Drive where downtime is the real cost, it’s often the right call. In Kendall West, expect to pay between $3,000 and $8,500 depending on alcove size, valve replacement, and whether the drain collar needs rebuilding.
When the One-Day Approach Makes Sense
If your tiles are cracked but the subfloor is sound and the drain line is intact, a one-day system avoids disturbing the framing and plumbing rough-in. We still look inside the wall first, because we have pulled enough 1980s Kendall West surrounds to know that a corroded cast-iron collar is not rare. But when the bones are good, the one-day route saves real money and disruption.
When It Doesn’t
A one-day insert doesn’t fix a rotten subfloor or a failed shower pan. If water has been seeping for years, the plywood under the old tub is often soft, and no acrylic panel will cure that. We’ll tell you plainly if a one-day system is the wrong fit for your home, and we’ll show you why with photos before any change order is written.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Kendall West
As a Bathroom Remodeling Contractor serving Kendall West, our scope goes well beyond cosmetic refresh. We handle full bathroom gut-and-rebuilds, walk-in shower installations, tub-to-shower conversions, vanity replacement, tile and fixture work, and the plumbing and electrical rough-in that comes with all of it. A full remodel in a 1980s Kendall West home runs $9,000 to $28,000. The spread is wide because the condition of your cast-iron drain lines and subfloor determines what we have to replace before finish work begins.
What Full-Scope Means Here
In Kendall West, a full bathroom remodel frequently includes replacing the closet bend, the fitting where your toilet connects to the vertical drain stack. Many 1980s homes in 33175 and 33186 still have original cast-iron bends that have rusted thin at the hub. We factor that possibility into our initial walkthrough, not into a surprise invoice later. That’s the difference between a written price you can trust and one that’s just a number pulled from a photo.
Permits and Inspections
Miami-Dade County requires permits for shower pan replacement, drain relocation, and any plumbing or electrical rough-in. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and the final sign-off is on us. Skipping the permit because a remodel is “just cosmetic” has a way of surfacing at resale inspection, and it’s never cheaper once that happens.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West
We spec materials that hold up to South Florida humidity and the daily use a bathroom actually gets. For Kendall West projects we regularly install Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria and Silestone surfaces, and KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry. We’ve also seen homeowners ask about newer prefab options like Abodu and Cover; those systems have their place, but they’re not a fit for a 1980s alcove with an offset drain. When you call, we’ll tell you what’s worth the money and what isn’t, based on the actual rough-in in your home. We keep common replacement parts stocked for Kendall West jobs, which keeps turnaround tighter than ordering from a regional warehouse every time a valve or trim kit is needed.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- Cast-iron drain line corrosion. Homes built in the 1980s across 33175 and 33186 often still have original cast-iron closet bends and vent stacks. By year 40, the hubs rust thin and crack. We inspect before we quote because replacing one is a line item, not a surprise.
- Rotted subfloor under the old tub. Slow leaks around 1980s tub flanges seep into plywood for years before anyone notices. By demo day, the subfloor can be soft enough to sink a screwdriver. In Kendall West’s humidity, this is one of the most common change orders we write.
- 30-inch alcoves with offset drains. The one-size-fits-all bath inserts sold by national big-box retailers don’t fit many Kendall West rough-ins. If the drain is offset or the alcove is tight, the insert won’t seat. We measure before we recommend.
- Unpermitted prior work. A surprising number of Kendall West bathrooms have old shower pan replacements or fixture moves that were never permitted. When we open the wall and find it, we bring it up to code before we close it back up. That’s the only way to keep the resale inspection clean.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Kendall West
Yes. Miami-Dade County requires permits for shower pan replacement, drain relocation, and any plumbing or electrical rough-in. Mason Remodeling pulls all required permits and schedules the inspections as part of the project. If you already have unpermitted work in the bathroom from a previous owner, we’ll bring it to code before we close the walls. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you exactly which permits your specific project needs.
A full bathroom remodel in Kendall West runs $9,000 to $28,000. Smaller scopes cost less: a walk-in shower installation is $4,500 to $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion is $3,500 to $10,000. The range is wide because 1980s homes in 33175 and 33186 often contain cast-iron drain corrosion or a rotted subfloor that has to be addressed before finish work. We give you a written line-item price before any work starts, so the number doesn’t drift once we open the wall.
Most full bathroom remodels in Kendall West take two to four weeks from demolition to final inspection. A one-day bath system, where it fits, is done in a single day. The calendar has some fixed points: permits take a few days to be issued, plumbing and electrical rough-in inspections are scheduled on Miami-Dade’s timeline, and tile setting needs cure time. We give you a written schedule at the start and update it if anything changes. Call (803) 680-2547 for a project timeline specific to your bathroom.
The most common change orders in Kendall West are cast-iron drain replacement and subfloor repair under the old tub. We find these during demolition, and we photograph everything so you can see exactly what was found and why it has to be fixed. Any change order is written, signed by you, and approved before we order materials. We never start work that wasn’t in the written scope without your signature first. That’s how the 365-Day Done Right Promise stays honest.
Yes, if the alcove dimensions and drain location fit the system and the subfloor and drain line are sound. In a 1987 Kendall West hall bath with an offset drain or a soft subfloor, a one-day insert won’t fit or won’t last, and we’ll tell you that directly. When it’s the right call, a one-day remodel replaces the tub or shower surround, valve, trim, and drain in a single day. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll measure your alcove and tell you whether the one-day route works for your bathroom.
