Why Mason Remodeling Is Venice’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve remodeled bathrooms all over Venice, from the Canals to Oakwood to the walk streets west of Abbot Kinney, and the houses here share a personality: older framing, salt-crusted plumbing, and layouts that were never designed for modern fixtures. As a General Contractor in Venice, that local familiarity matters because a bathroom remodel here is rarely a clean swap. That local familiarity matters because a bathroom remodel in Venice is rarely a clean swap. It’s finding the water damage hiding behind 1950s tile, correcting vent stacks that were never to code, and knowing which inspectors actually review which details. Our crews arrive in marked uniforms with photo ID badges at the door, and you receive the technician’s name and photo before the visit, so you know exactly who is walking onto your property. That’s The Threshold Standard, and every Mason Remodeling job is built on it.
Isaac Pruett leads our team, and we hold every Venice project to a simple rule: a written price lands before any tool is unpacked. No verbal estimates that drift.

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, every day, including weekends and holidays. No call trees, no voicemail loops.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Venice
A shower remodel in Venice addresses the tile, waterproofing, valve, drain, and glass enclosure in a tub or standalone shower, and it’s the bathroom upgrade we recommend most often here because of what coastal moisture does to older shower assemblies. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on shower valves and fasteners, so a shower that worked fine when it was installed in 1995 may be quietly rusting inside the wall. What starts as a dripping showerhead or a loose handle is frequently a corroded rough-in valve waiting to leak into framing.
A walk-in shower installation in Venice costs $4,500 to $12,000, and that range moves based on tile choice, curbless design, and whether you’re replacing an existing shower pan or building the waterproofing from scratch. Kohler shower systems, marine-grade fasteners, and Schluter waterproofing behind the tile are standard recommendations for our Venice shower remodels. We use Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz for shower curbs, benches, and thresholds because they hold up to constant moisture without the annual sealing that natural stone demands.
Frameless Glass and Enclosure Upgrades
When a shower frameless glass enclosure is part of the project, we spec the hinges and mounting channels in marine-grade stainless. Standard plated hardware shows pitting within a few seasons this close to the ocean. The cost sits inside the $4,500 to $12,000 walk-in range, and we’ll give you a line-item breakdown before any deposit changes hands.
Shower Valve Replacement and Waterproofing Repair
We see moisture-stained grout and soft drywall behind showers all over the Venice Canals and Silver Triangle, and the fix is not caulk. We remove the failed substrate, replace the corroded valve, re-flash the curb, and rebuild the waterproofing with a bonded membrane system. That work is part of a shower remodel, not a handyman patch, and it’s why our projects pass inspection sign-off without change orders.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Venice
A tub to shower conversion in Venice removes the existing bathtub, repositions the drain, builds a waterproof shower pan, installs the new valve and showerhead, and finishes with tile, glass, and trim. For many Venice homeowners, especially in smaller bungalows and duplexes around President’s Row, this is the single highest-value bathroom change: it opens floor space, improves access for older residents, and eliminates the lip of a tub that gets harder to step over every year. Costs in Venice run $3,500 to $10,000 for the conversion itself, depending on drain relocation, waterproofing depth, and finish materials.
The structural reality in older Venice homes is that a tub-to-shower conversion almost always reveals what’s behind the tub: rusted cast-iron drain lines, damp framing, or a slab penetration that needs re-flashing. We include a realistic allowance for hidden water damage in every written quote, because on the Venice Canals and along the Marina peninsula we’ve learned to expect it. Skipping that allowance is how projects blow past their budget. We don’t do that to you.
Walk-In Shower Conversion for Aging-in-Place
A curbless walk-in shower conversion changes how a bathroom works for anyone with limited mobility. That matters in Venice because so much of the housing stock is single-story 1940s and 1950s builds where a tub-to-shower swap can keep a homeowner in place for another decade. We install Schluter linear drains, low-threshold curbs, and grab-blocking behind the walls, all while pulling the proper LADBS permit for plumbing and waterproofing.
Shower Pan and Drain Relocation
Relocating the drain on a slab-on-grade Venice home means saw-cutting concrete, which triggers the same permit conversation as any structural change in the city. Our crews do this work weekly, so we know which inspectors want to see the pre-tile waterproofing test and which plumbing details they’ll flag. The line-item cost sits inside the $3,500 to $10,000 tub-to-shower range; on engineered wood subfloors, the job is often faster and less invasive.
Trusted Brands We Service in Venice
We install and service Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe fixtures in Bathroom Remodeling projects across Venice. For vanities and surfaces, we work with KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and our Schluter waterproofing materials come directly through our supply partners, not big-box retail. When a groove-fitting drain or a specific valve cartridge is needed for a 1970s Venice condo, we source it locally. One material partner worth knowing: modular building systems from Dvele and Cover influence how we approach prefabrication-friendly trim and waterproofing assemblies, and we’ve integrated those efficiency lessons into our standard Venice bathroom scopes. Bathroom Remodeling in Venice should always begin with a written price, and ours always does.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Venice Homes
- Corroded valves and fasteners from salt air. Chrome-plated shower trim and standard steel screws pit and seize within a few seasons of ocean exposure. We replace them with marine-grade stainless and corrosion-resistant rough-in valves from Moen and Kohler.
- Rotted subfloor and framing from slow, hidden leaks. In the Canals and Silver Strand, our crews have opened shower surrounds to find subfloor that turns to pulp the moment a screw touches it. The fix is structural replacement, not a tile overlay.
- Permit complications on older Lincoln Blvd-adjacent homes. Structural changes and drain relocations in pre-1960 bathrooms trigger LADBS inspections, and unpermitted handyman work shows up at resale. We pull permits before demolition and keep the inspection schedule tight.
- Waterproofing failures behind contractor-grade tile. The most common callback after an inexpensive Venice bathroom remodel is cracked grout and moisture wicking into the wall cavity. We use bonded-membrane waterproofing behind every tile surface, because repainting a bathroom wall does not stop the water that’s already inside it.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Venice
Yes, for most bathroom remodels in Venice that include plumbing changes, drain relocation, structural modifications, or waterproofing work, you need a permit from LADBS. A simple vanity or fixture swap usually does not trigger one. Mason Remodeling pulls permits before demolition starts and schedules the inspections. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you what your specific scope requires.

Your price depends on waterproofing depth, hidden water damage, and finish level. We put the full price in writing before any work begins. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free line-item estimate.
A tub-to-shower conversion removes the bathtub and builds a waterproof shower in the same footprint, and it costs $3,500 to $10,000 in Venice.

In older Venice homes, we include an allowance for hidden water damage behind the tub. Call (803) 680-2547 to get your project scoped.
Most Venice bathroom remodels take 2 to 5 weeks from demolition to final inspection, depending on permit lead time with LADBS, hidden damage, and material lead times for items like quartz or custom glass.

Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate and we’ll show you exactly where your home stands.
