Why Mason Remodeling Is Ives Estates’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Ives Estates sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which means no municipal building office handles your permit. It goes through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department via ePlan, and that single fact changes how your project should be scoped. A contractor who doesn’t know the county review path will lose days, sometimes a week, waiting on a rough-in inspection that should have been scheduled the day demolition finished. We’ve run dozens of bathroom permits through that exact pipeline, and we build the inspection timeline into your written schedule before the first tile comes off the wall.
Homeowners in Ives Estates call us because the pricing is on paper before a single tool is unpacked. Not a verbal estimate, not a range on a handshake. A written line-item price with allowances stated plainly for tile, fixtures, and vanities. If the work isn’t right within 365 days of completion, our Done Right Promise means we return and fix it at no cost. Isaac Pruett, who leads Mason Remodeling, holds every crew to the Threshold Standard: background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and introduced to you by name and photo before they pull into your driveway.
Your Bathroom Remodeling team should not be a series of unknowns. Ours isn’t.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Ives Estates
A walk-in shower in Ives Estates usually means converting a tight tub alcove into a curbless or low-threshold shower, and that work runs $4,500 to $12,000 here. Drain relocation, waterproofing, and glass enclosure choices drive the final number. In older Ives Estates homes, the original drain line is often 1.5-inch cast iron, and a modern shower requires a 2-inch line. That’s a scope item we flag during the walkthrough, not after the walls are open. We install Schluter waterproofing systems, the orange membrane and metal trim that seal the edges where tile meets floor, so you’re not relying on greenboard and hope.
Pouring the Pan and Setting the Drain
We build the shower pan from deck mud with the slope set to code before tile goes in. The inspector checks fall to drain, and that’s a pass/fail detail. Our crew sets the pan, floods it for 24 hours to verify no leaks, then records it for the county inspection.
Glass and Fixtures
Frameless glass enclosures add $1,500 to $4,000 depending on hardware and panel count. We measure after tile is set so the glass fits the actual opening, not the plan.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Ives Estates
Choosing among bathroom remodeling companies in Ives Estates comes down to who can handle the county permit, who prices the job honestly before demo, and who shows up with a known crew. A full remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000. That range covers a gut-and-rebuild with new shower, vanity, flooring, lighting, and paint. Smaller bath remodels fall between $5,000 and $12,000. On a 1970s-era ranch off Ives Dairy Road near the Sierra Mirada area, we tore a hall bathroom to the studs and found the original cast-iron drain line undersized for the new walk-in shower’s 2-inch rough-in, plus a plywood subfloor swollen from a slow toilet leak. We re-poured the shower pan, sistered the subfloor framing, and set a KraftMaid vanity with a Silestone top before walking the homeowner through the punch list item by item and calling for inspection sign-off.
What We Check Before Pricing
Subfloor condition under the toilet and tub, drain pipe diameter and material, vent placement, and joist spacing. We check these during the estimate, not after demo. Skipping them is how a $9,000 bathroom becomes a $16,000 bathroom on day three.
Materials We Specify
KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry. Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for vanity tops. Kohler, Moen, and Toto for fixtures. We write actual allowances so your showroom upgrade doesn’t move the price far outside the contract.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ives Estates
We stock and install Sakrete mortar and leveling products for shower pans and floor prep, and we work with Abodu and Dvele on design standards for shower systems and bathroom layouts. If you’ve got existing fixtures from Kohler or Moen and want to keep the same rough-in footprint, we’ll match them. For Ives Estates customers, we keep common Schluter profiles, drain assemblies, and waterproofing membrane on the truck so a mid-job materials run to Hialeah doesn’t stall your project. The point is momentum: every day a bathroom is open is a day your house is not fully yours.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Ives Estates Homes
- Bidding off photos without a site check. An estimator who never walks your house misses the cast-iron drain and rotted subfloor that only appear after demo. In Ives Estates, that’s a mid-demolition change order, not a surprise worth having.
- Treating the county permit as a formality. Miami-Dade’s ePlan review is real. If your contractor doesn’t account for plan review time and inspection scheduling, your rough-in waits while your bathroom sits gutted.
- Underpriced tile and fixture allowances. A $3 per square foot tile allowance won’t cover what Ives Estates homeowners actually choose at the showroom. We write allowances that match how people here actually shop.
- Old drain lines meeting new shower codes. 1.5-inch cast iron won’t pass a 2-inch shower drain requirement. We inspect the drain path during the estimate and price the replacement if needed, not as a discovery later.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Ives Estates
Yes. Since Ives Estates is in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, permits run through the county’s Building Department via ePlan, not a city hall. Any remodel that changes plumbing, electrical, or wall structure requires a permit, including tub-to-shower conversions with drain relocation. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and don’t call the job done until Miami-Dade signs off. Call (803) 680-2547 if you want us to handle the whole process.
Four things drive cost here: drain and vent relocations, waterproofing method, glass enclosure, and fixture and tile choices. A full remodel in Ives Estates runs $9,000 to $28,000. If your subfloor has water damage from an old toilet leak, add framing repair to that number. We check for these during the estimate so your written price reflects reality, not a generic quote. Call (803) 680-2547 for a walkthrough and a written line-item price.
Most full bathroom remodels here take two to five weeks. County plan review and inspection scheduling add days you can’t control, so we build that timeline into your schedule from the start. A tub-to-shower conversion without moving walls may run two to three weeks. A full gut with subfloor repair and glass enclosure can stretch to five. We’ll give you a calendar with your written price.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common projects we do here. Tub-to-shower conversion in Ives Estates runs $3,500 to $10,000. The main factor in older homes is the drain line, original cast iron at 1.5 inches needs upgrading to 2 inches to pass county inspection. We price that upgrade in the original quote when possible. Call (803) 680-2547 to have us look at your specific bathroom before you commit.
A change order is a written addendum to your contract that lists the new work, the new price, and how it changes the schedule. In Ives Estates, common change orders come from rotted subfloors, cast-iron drain replacement, or a fixture upgrade at the showroom that exceeds the allowance. Our allowances are written realistically, and anything outside them gets signed off by you before we proceed. No work happens without your written approval.
