Why Mason Remodeling Is Sunset’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Sunset homeowners tell us the same thing: the biggest hesitation before a bath remodel isn’t the cost. It’s the door opening to someone they haven’t met. That’s why we built The Threshold Standard into every job we run in Sunset. Every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified. You receive their name and photo before the visit, and they show a photo ID badge at the door. Uniformed, marked vehicles, no surprises at the threshold.
Isaac Pruett leads our Bathroom Remodeling work, and the written price is not a favor we grant when asked. It’s standard on every project, in Sunset and everywhere else we work. Before demo starts, you have a line-by-line written scope and a fixed figure. If the job changes after we open the wall, we stop, explain what we found, hand you a written change order, and you sign before we proceed. No verbal add-ons at final billing.
Every completed Sunset project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right within a year of completion, we return and make it right at no cost. Written guarantee, stated terms, real coverage.

Bathroom Renovation in Sunset
A bathroom renovation in Sunset is a to-the-studs rebuild of the room: moving fixtures if the slab allows, replacing all waterproofing, setting new tile, installing a new vanity, faucets, lighting, and getting every change signed off by the building inspector before the walls close. Sunset homes built between the 1950s and 1970s are mostly block-and-slab construction, which means supply lines and drains are often cast into concrete or furred into shallow wall cavities. A drain relocation that would take an afternoon in a wood-framed house can be a chip-and-repour job here. We price that reality into the written quote before demo, not after. A full Sunset bathroom renovation typically runs $9,000 to $28,000.
What the Rough-in Reveals
In these older Sunset slabs, the rough-in stage is where the real scope shows itself. Cast-iron and galvanized drain lines in 1960s-era homes off Bird Road and Sunset Drive are often at the end of their service life. We open the floor, show you what’s there, and give you a written change order with photographs attached. You approve the number before we do the work.
Waterproofing Done to Florida Standard
A Sunset bath has to handle near-daily steam and moisture. We use full waterproofing systems behind the tile, including Schluter strips (the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring), and we won’t set tile on green board. The inspector sees the waterproofing before a single tile goes up.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Sunset
A small bathroom remodel in Sunset is the right scope when the footprint stays exactly where it is and you’re updating within the existing walls: new tub or shower pan, new vanity and fixture set, fresh tile, better lighting, and proper waterproofing. It’s the most common project we run in Sunset dating back to the original 1950s ranch homes around Killian Drive and Miller Drive, where the hall bath is often under 50 square feet. A small bath remodel in Sunset runs $5,000 to $12,000, depending on whether we’re reusing the existing drain locations or repairing slab work beneath.
Working Within the Existing Footprint
Keeping the toilet, tub, and vanity in their current spots is the single biggest cost saver on a small Sunset bath. In a slab home, every drain move means cutting concrete. We’ll tell you honestly whether that footprint works as-is, and if moving a fixture is worth the added scope to you.
Finishes That Earn Their Keep
In a 40-square-foot bath, every material has to do real work. We spec porcelain tile, solid-surface vanities that can take South Florida humidity, and Moen or Kohler fixtures rated for daily use. You don’t get a builder-grade allowance that runs out before the tile is even ordered.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset
We install and service specification-grade cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, quartz and stone surfaces from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and plumbing fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. For Sunset homeowners, that means you’re not limited to whatever a big-box aisle has in stock. You pick the brand and model from a vetted catalog, we order it, inspect it on arrival, and handle the install. Since our dispatch runs locally through the Miami office, turns on material questions and reorders for Sunset jobs don’t get stuck in a call tree.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sunset Homes
- Cast-iron drains under a 1960s slab. In Sunset’s block-and-slab housing stock, the original waste lines are often past their life. We’ve chipped open floors on SW 64th Court to find drain pipe so thin you could push a screwdriver through it. We show you photos and give you a written change order before touching it.
- Shallow furred walls hiding small supply lines. Older Sunset homes often ran half-inch galvanized supply lines through 2×3 furring strips against block. Retrofitting a modern shower valve into that wall is a careful cut-and-patch job, not a quick swap.
- Permits treated as optional paperwork. Skipping the permit means no rough-in inspection before tile. If a future inspection or appraisal catches it, the fix is tile demo at the homeowner’s cost. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and don’t close a Sunset wall until the inspector signs off.
- Moisture damage hidden behind old tile. South Florida humidity gets behind failing grout and rots the substrate. In bathrooms that haven’t been touched since the original build, we routinely find enough wall damage behind the tile that the “surface refresh” becomes a studs-out rebuild. We plan for that possibility in the quote, not after demo.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Sunset
Yes. Any bathroom remodel in Sunset that moves plumbing, changes the drain layout, alters the electrical, or reconfigures walls requires a permit with Miami-Dade County. The inspector checks the rough-in plumbing, the electrical rough, and the waterproofing before walls close, then does a final inspection after finish work. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and we don’t close a wall until the inspector signs the rough-in. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll lay out the full permit path for your specific scope in the written quote.
A standard Sunset hall bath remodel runs two to four weeks from first day of demo to final walkthrough. Tub-to-shower conversions and small baths can finish in under three weeks if rough-in inspections clear on the first visit. Add a week if we’re chipping slab for drain relocation or replacing cast-iron waste lines. The written scope we give you includes a calendar with inspection dates blocked out, so you know exactly when the room is down and when it’s back.
It shouldn’t go up without your signed approval. In older Sunset slab homes, demo sometimes reveals hidden cast-iron drain failure, insufficient existing waterproofing, or rotted substrate behind the tile. When we find that, we stop work, photograph the issue, and hand you a written change order with the exact added cost. You decide before we do another dollar of work. We refuse to do surprise invoices at the end of a Sunset job. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through the quote and what could legitimately change once walls open.
Yes, in most cases. A tub-to-shower conversion in Sunset typically keeps the existing drain location and converts the 5-foot tub footprint into a walk-in shower, which holds the price at $3,500 – $10,000. If the drain needs to move because the shower pan won’t center on the existing drain, that’s slab work and it adds cost. We’ll tell you which scenario applies to your bath after a site visit, and the written quote reflects the answer before demo.
A real allowance in Sunset should cover tile for the full wet area, a solid-surface or quality wood vanity, a properly rated exhaust fan, a shower valve and trim kit, and waterproofing materials behind the walls. Builder-grade allowances that leave you short on a bathroom used every day in Florida humidity are a problem we see in competitor quotes. We spec realistic allowances with named brands and line-item prices before you sign, so the allowance doesn’t become the hidden gotcha. Call (803) 680-2547 for a written Sunset quote with allowances shown line by line.
