We know Richmond Heights because we work here. The homes along Lincoln Boulevard, the blocks around Coral Reef Park, and the streets off Eureka Drive were mostly built between the 1950s and 1970s, and they share a plumbing profile we have seen dozens of times: cast-iron drains, shallow rough-ins, and slabs that sit close to the water table. That changes how a bathroom remodel should be scoped, and it is exactly the kind of thing a generic bid misses. Our estimator walks the room, opens the access panel when one exists, and prices the job against what is actually in your walls, not a national averages chart.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Richmond Heights’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Richmond Heights homeowners call us because the crew is verified before they ever step inside your home. Every technician is background-checked and identity-verified under The Threshold Standard, and you receive each crew member’s name and photo before the visit. The person at your door is wearing a clean uniform and carrying a photo ID badge. If you are home alone or have young kids, that process is the difference between a stressful remodel and a calm one.
Mason Remodeling has been building bathrooms since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family. We deliver a written price on every project before work begins – never a verbal ballpark that grows later. And every Richmond Heights project is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right within a year of completion, we come back and fix it at no charge. Our Bathroom Remodeling team treats your house like the long-term investment it is.
Isaac Pruett leads the crews that handle Richmond Heights jobs. He keeps the schedule tight, walks every punch list personally, and has seen just about every slab complication Miami-Dade’s older tract housing can throw at a remodel. When a change is needed, you hear it from him – not from a subcontractor you have never met.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Richmond Heights
A Walk In Shower in Richmond Heights replaces a tub or a dated stall with a level-entry, curbless shower that works well in the tight footprints common to 1960s hall baths. On the Atlantic Coastal Ridge, we often find that the original tub sat directly on a slab with a drain that has since corroded. Replacing it correctly means pulling the old fixture, inspecting what is under it, and resetting the drain to the new shower’s center point before tiling. Walk-in shower installation in Richmond Heights runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on glass, tile, and how much drain work the slab needs.
Frameless glass and finishes
Homeowners near Coral Reef Park tend to choose frameless glass panels rather than framed enclosures, because they open up a small room and hold up to Miami’s humidity without gasket channels that collect mildew. We measure after tile is set, never before, so the glass lands exactly on the finished surface. Toto and Grohe fixtures are common choices on these jobs.
Schluter pans on old slabs
Because Richmond Heights slabs sit low in places, we prefer a Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing system rather than a traditional mud pan. It ties the shower floor, walls, and drain into one water-tight assembly, and it is faster to install, which means less time with the bathroom torn apart. The edge where tile meets drywall gets a Schluter strip – the metal trim that seals and protects that transition – instead of raw caulk.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Richmond Heights
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Richmond Heights fall into two camps: general contractors who handle the whole job and specialty crews that only do tile or glass. Mason Remodeling is the first kind, and our Bathroom Remodeling in Richmond Heights work is fully permitted and inspected. A full remodel typically includes demolition, rough-in repair, waterproofing, tile, vanity, lighting, fixtures, glass, and paint. That complete scope usually lands between $9,000 and $28,000 here depending on finishes and how much plumbing rehab the slab requires.
Permits and inspections handled for you
In Richmond Heights, a bathroom remodel that moves a drain, alters a wall, or changes the shower valve requires a Miami-Dade permit. We file it, schedule the rough and final inspections, and keep the job moving between sign-offs. If the inspector flags a non-conforming rough-in, we correct it before walls close – not after the tile is up.
Vanity, tile, and fixture replacement
Some Richmond Heights baths do not need a full gut. When the drain and waterproofing are sound, we swap the vanity, countertop, faucet, and mirror for a finished look at a lower cost. Bathroom vanity installation in Richmond Heights runs $800 – $3,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion typically lands between $3,500 and $10,000 when the footprint stays the same.
Trusted Brands We Service in Richmond Heights
We install and service cabinetry and surfaces from KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, plus fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. For Richmond Heights jobs where the slab or subfloor needs structural repair before tile, we specify Sakrete products for the concrete work because they cure predictably in South Florida’s humidity. Because we order directly through specification-grade supply channels, Richmond Heights customers do not wait on big-box backorders for a vanity or shower pan. If a fixture arrives damaged, we handle the replacement – the homeowner does not chase a freight claim.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Richmond Heights Homes
- Rusted cast-iron drains. Homes built before the mid-1970s along Eureka Drive and surrounding blocks often still have original cast-iron lines under the slab. When we open a bath, we routinely find pipe bellies or pinholes that a cosmetic bid would have missed.
- Shallow rough-ins. The slab elevation on the Atlantic Coastal Ridge does not leave much room for modern drain slopes. Some original shower and tub rough-ins are non-conforming by today’s code, which Miami-Dade inspectors flag before walls close.
- Water-damaged subfloors. Near the Palmetto Golf Course, older homes with slab-on-grade construction still have wood-framed bath floors in some additions. Years of tub overflow or a failed wax ring leaves the subfloor soft and the tile cracked.
- Load-bearing walls where you least expect them. The hall bath wall in many Richmond Heights ranch homes carries ceiling joists. Moving it is not a simple demo decision; it requires an inspection review and a header, which changes both the price and the schedule.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Richmond Heights
Yes, in most cases. Any Richmond Heights bathroom remodel that changes plumbing locations, moves a wall, or alters the shower valve requires a Miami-Dade County building permit and a final inspection sign-off. We pull the permit for you and it is part of our written scope, not an add-on. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free walkthrough and we will tell you exactly what your project triggers.
A full bathroom remodel in Richmond Heights runs $9,000 – $28,000, while a smaller guest bath usually lands between $5,000 and $12,000. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000. The range depends on drain work under the slab, tile selection, and whether you are moving walls. Call (803) 680-2547 for a written line-item quote.
Rusted cast-iron drains, shallow or non-conforming rough-ins, and water-damaged subfloors are the three we see most on homes built between the 1950s and 1970s. These conditions change the scope of work and the price, which is why our Richmond Heights estimates include a line for slab and plumbing inspection before final pricing. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk through your home’s profile.
Most full bathroom remodels in Richmond Heights run three to five weeks from demolition to final inspection sign-off. The county inspection timeline is the variable – Miami-Dade schedules rough and final inspections on their calendar, not ours – so we build buffer days into the schedule rather than promise a date we cannot hold. We will give you a written calendar with your estimate.
Get the drain and rough-in inspected before the final price is set. A bid that is written without opening the slab or pulling the access panel is a bid that will grow when the cast-iron is found. We write our Richmond Heights estimates after walking the room and checking what is accessible, and any change after that comes as a written, line-item change order before the work proceeds. Call (803) 680-2547 and we will walk your bathroom with you.
