Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami Shores
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Shores typically runs $10,620 to $33,040, and the single biggest variable is what the Village of Miami Shores inspector finds under your subfloor once the old tub comes out. Most homes here were built in the 1950s, and most still sit on the original cast-iron drain lines and galvanized supply pipes. That’s not a surprise to us, and it won’t become a surprise change order on your bill.
Mason Remodeling has been completing bathroom remodels since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. Our teams work throughout Miami Shores regularly, from the streets around Miami Shores Country Club up toward Biscayne Boulevard. When you call (803) 680-2547, a live person answers. You’ll get a written price before any work begins, and every crew member arrives with a name you already know, a photo you’ve already seen, and a photo ID badge at the door.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Miami Shores’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Bathroom remodeling in Miami Shores isn’t a tile-and-paint swap, and homeowners here know it. The village’s permitting office expects a plumbing rough-in inspection whenever a permit is pulled. That means the cast-iron drain assembly beneath your shower or tub often has to be opened up and replaced before drywall and tile go back in. A contractor who doesn’t know the Village of Miami Shores’s inspection process will price the job wrong and then hand you a change order mid-project.
We don’t operate that way. Our written price is delivered before a single tool is unpacked, and it accounts for what the village will actually require. Mason Remodeling is led by Isaac Pruett, and every crew member follows the Threshold Standard: background-checked, identity-verified, clean marked uniform, photo ID badge at the door, and introduction by name and photo before the visit. You’ll never open the door to a stranger.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from small guest baths to full gut remodels throughout Miami Shores, and we back every completed project with a written guarantee stating coverage terms plainly, including what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long: 365 days from the completion date.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Miami Shores
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Miami Shores fall into two groups: the ones who’ve pulled permits with the village and the ones who haven’t. The work here almost always involves replacing a cast-iron tub or shower drain, re-running galvanized supply lines, sistering a rotted floor joist, and then setting tile, a new vanity, and fixtures. A full bathroom remodel in Miami Shores runs $10,620 to $33,040 depending on size and the condition of the subfloor beneath the original plumbing.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut remodel means stripping the room to studs and subfloor. In Miami Shores, that’s where the 1950s cast-iron drain and galvanized supply lines get replaced, and where the village inspector signs off on the rough-in before drywall goes up. Mason Remodeling includes that scope in the written price from day one, not as a change order after demolition.
Small Bathroom Remodeling
A guest bath or hallway bath in Miami Shores typically runs $5,900 to $14,160. We still pull the permit, still open the subfloor where the drain assembly has failed, and still schedule the rough-in inspection. Small doesn’t mean skipping the village requirements; it means fewer square feet to tile and a tighter fixture package.
Bathroom Renovation in Miami Shores
Bathroom Renovation in Miami Shores often focuses on the wet area: swapping a tub for a walk-in shower, replacing a failing shower pan, or re-tiling a surround that’s been leaking into the drywall. This is where our Miami Shores customers see the biggest improvement in daily living, and where the cast-iron plumbing beneath the floor dictates scope. A tub-to-shower conversion in Miami Shores runs $4,130 to $11,800; a stand-alone walk-in shower installation runs $5,310 to $14,160.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Miami Shores homeowners with a 1950s cast-iron tub often choose a tub-to-shower conversion to gain a curbless entry and easier cleanup. The conversion includes removing the old tub, cutting out the failing cast-iron drain, re-running a new PVC rough-in, and setting a waterproof shower pan. The village rough-in inspection is non-negotiable, and we schedule it before tile goes in.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers in Miami Shores homes work best with a Schluter strip, the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring. We use specification-grade materials from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for thresholds and benches, and Kohler or Moen fixtures. The result is a shower that handles south Florida humidity without trapping moisture against mid-century framing.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores
We work directly with specification-grade cabinet and surface manufacturers so Miami Shores homeowners get vetted, professional-grade product in one place. For cabinetry, we order KraftMaid and Wellborn. For vanity tops and shower thresholds, we cut from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone slabs. Fixtures come from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. Because we know the common bathroom dimensions in Miami Shores’s 1950s ranches, we can order the right stock sizes quickly and keep your project moving through the village inspection windows.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes
- Rotted subfloor around the toilet flange. Fifty-plus years of a leaking wax ring rots the plywood beneath the toilet. In Miami Shores, this usually means cutting out the cast-iron closet flange and re-piping the drain to PVC before the rough-in inspection.
- Original galvanized supply lines. Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside, which means weak water pressure at the shower head and rust-colored water. The village inspector will require replacement at rough-in if the lines are original to the home.
- Tile set directly on drywall. We see this in mid-century Miami Shores bathrooms all the time. Drywall wicks moisture behind the tile, leading to mold and crumbling grout. The fix is a waterproof backer board before the new tile goes up.
- Non-load-bearing mid-century framing that was never permitted. Some 1950s walls in Miami Shores bathrooms were added after the original build and never documented. When you open the walls, we verify what’s structural and what’s not before cutting anything.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Shores
Yes. Even a cosmetic bathroom remodel in Miami Shores typically requires a building permit from the Village of Miami Shores, because the village’s permitting office expects a plumbing rough-in inspection whenever a permit is pulled. That means the cast-iron drain and galvanized supply lines are often opened up and replaced before drywall and tile go back in. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the sign-off. Call (803) 680-2547 if you’re planning a remodel and want to know exactly what the village will require at rough-in.
Most full bathroom remodels in Miami Shores take 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the condition of the subfloor and the village’s plan-review and inspection windows. The calendar between rough-in and drywall can stretch if the inspector’s schedule is backed up, so we build that into the timeline up front. A small bath or shower replacement can be done in 2 to 3 weeks. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk through your specific timeline.
In Miami Shores, the biggest cost driver is the condition of the 1950s cast-iron drain and galvanized supply lines beneath the subfloor. If the village inspector requires a full re-pipe at rough-in, the scope grows beyond tile and fixtures. Fixture selection, tile square footage, and whether you’re moving any walls also move the price. We give you a written price before any work starts, so the number doesn’t drift. Call (803) 680-2547 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
