We know Leisure City’s housing stock well – the 1960s concrete-block homes near SW 296th Street, the tight lots off South Dixie Highway, and the newer builds spreading toward Homestead. That local knowledge matters when you’re planning a bathroom renovation because the existing plumbing, wall construction, and permit requirements shape everything from cost to calendar.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Leisure City’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Our Bathroom Remodeling team has worked in enough Leisure City homes to know what hides behind the tile. Many of these houses were built before PVC was standard, which means cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines, and concrete-block walls that don’t give up pipe runs easily. We plan for that on day one, not when the walls come down.
Isaac Pruett leads our remodeling division, and he holds every project to the Threshold Standard. That means each crew member is background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before they walk through your door. They arrive in clean marked uniforms and show a photo ID badge at the door. No anonymous subcontractors, and no wondering who is in your home.
We put the written price in your hands before a single tool is unpacked. It covers scope, materials, and labor. If something changes mid-project, you get a written change order with the new price before that work begins. At the end, you get a written guarantee that spells out exactly what is covered and for how long – 365 days from the completion date. If the work is not right within that year, we make it right at no cost to you.

Bathroom Renovation in Leisure City
Bathroom Renovation in Leisure City means something specific here. In a 1960s concrete-block home, you can’t always fish new drain lines through open stud bays the way you would in a newer wood-frame house in Miami Gardens or Homestead. Often the wall has to be furred out – thin strips added to the face of the block – so there is room for the new PVC drain to slope correctly without chipping into the block. That one detail changes the scope, the cost, and the schedule. A full renovation in Leisure City generally lands between $9,000 and $28,000, depending on whether you are moving fixtures, replacing the subfloor, or just swapping finishes in place.
Rough-In and Drain Replacement
Before any tile goes up, we camera-inspect the existing cast-iron drain if it is still in place. In Leisure City, we routinely find corroded or undersized cast iron in homes built before the mid-1970s. When that happens, the rough-in gets replaced with PVC and the wall is furred out to hold the new slope. We document every change in writing before the walls close so the inspection sign-off is clean.
Fixtures and Finishes
You choose from specification-grade brands – Kohler and Moen valves, Wellborn or KraftMaid vanities, Cambria or Silestone tops. We write your allowance sheet up front so there is no mystery at selection time. If you pick a material above the stated allowance, you know exactly what the difference costs before you commit.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Leisure City
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Leisure City typically runs $5,000 to $12,000 and is the right move for a hall bath or guest bath where the footprint stays put. You may be keeping the existing layout and just replacing the tub, toilet, vanity, tile, and fixtures. It is less invasive than a full renovation, but the same concrete-block considerations apply when drain lines need attention. We always pull a permit for any plumbing or electrical change, even on a small job.
Surface-Mounted Plumbing
If you have an older Leisure City home with a concrete slab, the drain may run under the slab rather than through a crawl space. That makes moving a toilet or shower drain across the room significantly more involved. We will tell you if a “simple swap” is actually a simple swap before you sign, and the written price will reflect it.
Cosmetic-Only Refresh
For a hall bath that is just tired – stained tile, a dated vanity, a flaking tub – a cosmetic refresh keeps costs on the lower end of the range. You keep the plumbing locations, and we replace surface materials and fixtures. It is the fastest path to a fresh bathroom in Leisure City without opening walls.
Trusted Brands We Service in Leisure City
We work with Kohler, Moen, Grohe, Toto, Wellborn, KraftMaid, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Our team has also installed factory-built components from Dvele and Mighty Buildings where a homeowner wants a prefabricated bathroom module or a more controlled off-site build. We keep common repair parts locally available for Leisure City customers, which shortens turnaround when a valve or cartridge fails mid-project. You are not waiting on a freight shipment just to keep the schedule moving.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Leisure City Homes
- Corroded cast-iron drains. Many Leisure City homes built in the 1960s still have original cast iron, and it is often pitted and undersized by now. We always camera-inspect before committing to reusing it.
- Concrete-block walls with no stud cavity. You cannot route new plumbing through solid block without furring out the wall, which slightly reduces the finished room dimensions but gives a clean, code-compliant run.
- Slab-on-grade plumbing. In homes without a crawl space, moving a toilet or shower drain means breaking into the slab. That is a major cost driver and should be known before the quote, not discovered mid-project.
- Tile and fixture allowance disputes. Without a written allowance sheet, a client’s $1,200 tile selection against a $400 allowance becomes a fight at the end. We write allowances into the contract from the start.

What moves the number up in Leisure City is almost always the plumbing. If the drain is reusable and you keep the layout, you sit at the lower end. If you are moving the toilet, replacing cast iron, or furring out a block wall to run new lines, the math changes. We give you a written price with line items before work begins, and if a change order comes up, you approve the cost in writing first. No verbal estimates that grow on the final bill.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Leisure City
Yes. Any plumbing, electrical, or structural change requires a Miami-Dade County permit, and that includes most bathroom remodels in Leisure City. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and document every trade’s rough-in before closing up walls. If a contractor tells you a permit is not needed for moving a drain or running new electrical, that is a red flag.
Most full bathroom remodels in Leisure City take two to four weeks once the permit is issued. Small bathroom remodels and cosmetic refreshes often finish in one to two weeks. Concrete-block homes can add a few days when walls need furring or slab plumbing comes into play. We give a written timeline with the quote and update it in writing if anything changes.
A full bathroom remodel in Leisure City runs $9,000 to $28,000. A small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 to $12,000. The spread depends on whether you move plumbing, replace the cast-iron drain, or keep the existing layout. You will receive a written, line-item price before any work starts. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule your free estimate.
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversion in Leisure City typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the existing drain size and whether the wall needs furring for a new valve. In concrete-block homes we often install a surface-mounted or furred-out wall assembly to carry the plumbing properly without compromising the block. The conversion includes the new shower base, valve, tile, and glass.
The three biggest change-order triggers in Leisure City are corroded cast-iron drains discovered after demo, client selections above the written allowance, and unpermitted prior work that needs to be brought to code. We prevent surprises with a camera inspection up front, a written allowance sheet for tile and fixtures, and permit research before the contract is signed. If a change order is needed anyway, you approve it in writing at a fixed price before we proceed.
