Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Olympia Heights
A full bathroom remodel in Olympia Heights typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, with small bathrooms landing between $5,000 and $12,000 and walk-in shower installations at $4,500 – $12,000. Those are the real numbers we write on proposals here, not a showroom teaser. The work usually takes 2 – 5 weeks depending on whether the rough-in has to move, and the biggest thing that drives cost in this neighborhood is the plumbing hiding under a mid-century floor.
Mason Remodeling has coordinated bathroom work across Olympia Heights since 2004, as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. We know the ranches off Bird Road and the split-levels along SW 40th Street. We know the cast-iron drains and the galvanized supply lines. If you want a written price before any tool is unpacked, call (803) 680-2547. That’s how every single project works with us.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team works throughout Olympia Heights, scheduling from our Miami metro office and sending crews who live in the South Florida market. You’ll know exactly who is arriving before they knock, because we send the name and photo of every technician ahead of time.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Olympia Heights’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Olympia Heights homeowners call us because they want a number they can plan around, not a verbal estimate that grows mid-demolition. Our written price comes before work starts, on every project, without exception. If the scope changes because of something found inside a wall, you approve the change order in writing before we proceed. No surprise invoices on the final bill.
Every crew member who walks your door has been background-checked and identity-verified under what we call The Threshold Standard. You receive the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they arrive in a clean marked uniform with a photo ID badge. That matters when you’re home alone, when you have a toddler napping in the next room, when opening the door to a stranger is a safety decision.
We back every completed Olympia Heights bathroom with a written guarantee, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right within a year of completion, we return and make it right at no cost to you. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (803) 680-2547 and you’ll talk to a person, not a call tree.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Olympia Heights
A General Contractor in Olympia Heights is the person who pulls the permit, coordinates the plumbing and electrical trades, and answers for the finished work. When you hire Mason Remodeling, that’s Isaac Pruett, our operations lead, and the crew leads who have handled mid-century South Florida bathrooms for years. The job means demolition down to the studs where necessary, moving or replacing the rough-in, rebuilding wet walls, setting waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and the vanity, then getting the final inspection signed off. In Olympia Heights, most full remodels land between $9,000 and $28,000, and the driver of where you fall in that range is almost always what the drain and supply lines are doing under that old floor.
Permit-Pulled, Inspection-Signed
We pull permits on Olympia Heights bathroom remodels even when the work looks cosmetic from the outside. Why? Because if the wall is opened and the plumbing is touched, Miami-Dade wants to see it. Skipping that means no inspection sign-off, and that surfaces at resale when the title search asks for the permit record.
When You Need a Real Contractor, Not a Handyman
If you’re moving a shower drain, cutting into old cast iron, or changing the layout of a 1958 bathroom, you need a licensed contractor who stands behind the waterproofing. Handymen leave. The tile cracks around a badly bedded pan, water seeps, and you’re paying twice. The 365-Day Done Right Promise only works if the person who did the work is still the person who answers the phone a year later.
Walk In Shower in Olympia Heights
A Walk In Shower in Olympia Heights costs $4,500 – $12,000 installed, and in this city’s older ranch homes, the number is usually toward the middle or higher end because of the plumbing move. A walk-in shower is a curbless or low-curb shower with no tub, designed for ease of entry and easier cleaning. The pan sits on the floor, the drain often has to move from the tub’s centerline, and the floor needs to be sloped correctly or water pools against the wall. In Olympia Heights, we build these with Schluter membrane systems, properly sloped, with the waterproofing tested before a single tile is set.
What Drives the Cost Here
The single biggest cost driver in Olympia Heights is relocating the drain and supply lines from the old cast-iron tub position. When the original bathroom was plumbed for a tub against one exterior wall, the new shower pan almost never lines up. The rough-in has to move, and that’s plumbing work, subfloor work, and sometimes joist sistering. We write that into the original proposal when we can see it coming, instead of handing it to you as a surprise after demolition.
Waterproofing That Doesn’t Get Cut Corners
We use cement board and a membrane system, not green drywall and hope. In a humid South Florida climate, a shower that isn’t properly waterproofed turns into a mold problem behind the tile within a couple of years. The inspector checks it before we close the wall. That step is non-negotiable with us.
Trusted Brands We Service in Olympia Heights
We partner with specification-grade manufacturers because a bathroom is only as good as the materials that go into it. For Olympia Heights customers, that means access to cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, quartz and solid surfaces from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. If you’re considering a prefab or modular bathroom package, we can also advise honestly on options from companies like Abodu and Cover, and where they do or don’t make sense for a mid-century Olympia Heights footprint. We stock common replacement parts for South Florida markets and order direct from manufacturers, so lead times stay short and you’re not waiting weeks for a Kohler trim kit.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Olympia Heights Homes
- Cast-iron drain rough-in that doesn’t match the new shower pan. The 1950s – 1970s ranches in Olympia Heights were plumbed for a tub against an exterior wall. Modern walk-in shower pans want the drain at a different point, so the rough-in has to move. Any quote that doesn’t account for this isn’t a real quote.
- Galvanized supply lines failing pressure testing. Once the walls are open, the old galvanized pipe often won’t hold pressure. Re-piping a bathroom with PEX adds cost that was never in the allowance schedule if the contractor didn’t look for it in the first place.
- Skipped permits on “cosmetic” work. A bathroom remodel is never truly cosmetic when walls come open and plumbing gets touched. No permit means no inspection sign-off, which stalls a closing when the house goes up for sale years later.
- Softened subfloor under a slowly seeping tub. A cast-iron tub from 1962 that’s been weeping for decades leaves the subfloor underneath soft. You don’t know until the tub comes out. We check for that early and document framing repair as a written change order, not a surprise.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Olympia Heights
Yes, in most cases. Any remodel that opens walls, moves plumbing, or changes electrical requires a permit in Olympia Heights, and our team pulls permits and schedules inspections on every permitted job. The inspector signs off on the wall work and waterproofing before we close anything up. Skipping the permit becomes a real problem at resale, when the title search asks for the record. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you exactly whether your specific scope needs a permit before we write the proposal.
Because the first number is often a showroom price that assumes the new shower pan fits where the old tub drain was. In Olympia Heights’s 1950s – 1970s ranch homes, it almost never does. The cast-iron drain has to move, galvanized supply lines may fail pressure testing, or the subfloor has softened from slow seepage. Mason Remodeling walks the site before quoting, so the rough-in relocation and re-pipe allowance are already in the written number, not a change order waiting at demolition. Call (803) 680-2547 for a proposal that reflects the home you actually have.
For a full remodel, plan on 2 – 5 weeks from demolition to final sign-off. A walk-in shower installation with a rough-in move typically runs 3 – 4 weeks. The time is in the plumbing relocation, waterproofing cure time, and inspection scheduling, not in the pretty finishes. We’ll give you a calendar with the proposal, and we stick to the schedule unless an inspection date moves or a change order adds scope. Call (803) 680-2547 for a timeline built around your actual bathroom, not a generic brochure.
A tub-to-shower conversion takes the existing tub’s footprint and converts it to a shower, which is why it lands at $3,500 – $10,000. A walk-in shower installation often means a larger footprint and a curbless or low-curb pan, running $4,500 – $12,000. The conversion keeps the existing drain location more often, while the walk-in usually requires moving the drain. If you don’t use the tub and want easier entry, the conversion is the tighter scope. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through both options with line-item prices.
The contract should include the written total price, the specific materials and brands (Kohler, Schluter, KraftMaid, not “shower system”), the permit and inspection obligations, the start and completion dates, and the warranty term with its exclusions in plain language. Mason Remodeling includes all of that on every proposal, plus the 365-Day Done Right Promise and the written guarantee. If your contract says “allowance” without a cap on the overage, ask for the cap. If it has no permit line, ask why. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll show you what a real Olympia Heights bathroom contract looks like.
What Actually Happens on an Olympia Heights Bathroom Job
Here’s the thing about Bathroom Remodeling in Olympia Heights that nobody’s guidebook covers: most of the cost is decided before you ever pick a tile. Much of this city’s housing stock is 1950s – 1970s ranch homes where the bathroom was originally plumbed for a cast-iron tub against a single exterior wall. The drain and supply lines almost never sit where a modern walk-in shower pan wants them. So the rough-in has to move. That means cutting a trench in the slab or going through the subfloor, re-routing the drain, updating the supply lines, and often sistering a joist or two while the floor is open. That’s the hidden cost driver in Olympia Heights, and any contractor who quotes off a showroom brochure without inspecting the plumbing is going to hand you a change order mid-demolition.
On a 1962 ranch off SW 104th Street, our crew tore out a failing cast-iron tub and found the drain centered off a rusted galvanized branch line under a subfloor that had softened from decades of slow seepage. We pulled the permits, repositioned the rough-in for a 48-inch Kohler shower pan, sistered the joists, laid new cement board, and the inspector signed off before we set the porcelain tile. Final scope came in at $11,400 against the $9,000 – $28,000 bathroom remodel range, with the framing repair documented as a change order instead of a surprise. That’s how it should work.
We work with materials from specification-grade brands like Cambria and Kohler, and if you’re weighing a modular bathroom approach, we can give you an honest read on options from companies like Abodu or Cover and when they do or don’t fit an Olympia Heights ranch footprint. What we won’t do is sell you a bathroom that doesn’t fit your plumbing. The truthful quote is the one that includes the rough-in move in the original number. That’s the whole game here.
When you’re ready to get a written price, call (803) 680-2547 and ask for Isaac. You’ll get a real person, a real number, and a real schedule. We’ll send you the name and photo of the technician before they arrive, and the first thing you’ll see at the door is a marked uniform and a photo ID badge. That’s The Threshold Standard. That’s how we’ve done it since 2004.
