We understand that question better than most. Mason Remodeling has done enough tear-outs in West Miami to respect what hides in these walls, and we’ll never let you sign anything until the scope is documented and the price is written down. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate. No pressure, just facts.
Why Mason Remodeling Is West Miami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
West Miami isn’t a neighborhood you drive through. It’s a two-square-mile city where everyone knows whose house had the slab leak and whose addition went up in 1962 without a permit. That local history matters when you’re hiring a remodeler. Our crews have worked on blocks near the West Miami Recreation Center, along Southwest 8th Street, and in the pocket of homes west of Ludlam Drive off Coral Way, and we’ve learned to expect surprises behind old tile in these mid-century builds.
Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he insists on the Threshold Standard on every West Miami job: every crew member is background-checked, identity-verified, arrives in a clean marked uniform, and is introduced to you by name and photo before they step inside. You’ll see a photo ID badge at the door. Before any work starts, you get a written price. Not a rough number, not a verbal estimate that grows later. A written price, on paper, for the scope we both agreed to. And when the job is done, a written guarantee applies for 365 days from the completion date. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right, at no charge.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in West Miami
A walk-in shower in West Miami is the single most common request we get from homeowners in these older ranch homes, where the original tub has become a step-over hazard or simply feels cramped. Walk-in shower installation in West Miami runs $5,310 to $14,160 depending on whether we’re converting a tub footprint or building a larger enclosure from scratch. The work involves demo of the existing tub or shower, re-working the drain and valve, waterproofing, tile or solid surface walls, and usually a frameless glass panel or door. In West Miami, we always check the floor joists before we commit to a glass panel; old subfloors move, and a rigid glass enclosure will crack if the deck isn’t solid.
When the floor tells you something
On a 1950s block off SW 62nd Avenue near Coral Way, we tore out a hall bath down to the studs and found the original cast-iron drain and a subfloor that had been patched around a previous tub move. We re-ran the rough-in, sistered the joists, and rebuilt the bath with a KraftMaid vanity, a Silestone top, and a Kohler shower valve, then walked the client through the inspection sign-off before we closed the walls. The final scope came in near the middle of our Bathroom Remodel range because the hidden framing repair was caught and priced as a change order before tile went up.
Tile and waterproofing choices
For a walk-in shower in West Miami, we lean on Schluter waterproofing systems, the Schluter strip being the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring. It prevents water from wicking into the drywall at the transition. Given the humidity in South Florida, proper venting and a waterproof membrane behind the tile are non-negotiable. We’ll write the exact materials into your price sheet before demolition day.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in West Miami
Choosing among bathroom remodeling companies in West Miami is not just a comparison of quotes. It’s a decision about who will be in your home for a month, and whether they’ll still answer the phone if something fails in six months. Mason Remodeling opened as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies in 2004, and we’ve built our West Miami work around a single idea: a written price before a single tool is unpacked. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles full gut and rebuild projects, and the price you sign is the price you pay, unless you change the scope, and then the change order is written and signed before the change is made.
What a full remodel includes
A full bathroom remodel in West Miami, priced at $10,620 to $33,040, includes demo down to studs, plumbing and electrical rough-in, insulation, drywall, waterproofing, tile installation, fixture setting, and finish trim. In older West Miami homes, that often means updating a 60-amp circuit to support a modern vent fan and heated floor, or re-routing a drain that was set incorrectly during a past unpermitted remodel. We include permits and inspections in every full remodel.
Written scope before walls open
Every Mason Remodeling contract in West Miami lists exactly what we will do, what allowances apply to tile and fixtures, and what will trigger a change order, such as discovering old cast-iron drains or a soft subfloor. We don’t open your walls and then hand you a surprise. We price the known, and we tell you what the unknowns will cost if they appear. That’s the difference between a documented scope and a handshake.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Miami
We install and service cabinetry and surface brands that hold up to South Florida humidity, including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Silestone and Cambria tops, and Kohler, Moen, and Toto fixtures. For shower bases and tile underlayment, we stock Sakrete products for leveling and slope work on West Miami slab floors. If your remodel involves a custom glass enclosure, we measure on site and order from the same fabricators we’ve used for years. Because our dispatch and scheduling is coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, West Miami customers see faster material turnaround than most of the city expects.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in West Miami Homes
- Cast-iron and galvanized drains. Homes built in the 1940s through the 1960s still carry original drain pipes under the slab, and after seventy years they’re often rusted thin or bellied. If your shower backs up during a remodel, that’s usually why.
- Patched subfloors from past tub moves. Many West Miami homes were converted or extended over the decades, and old tub relocations often left cut joists or patched plywood that was never properly sistered. A soft spot near the toilet or tub usually means framing repair before tiling.
- Unpermitted past work discovered at permit review. When we pull a permit for your remodel, the city’s records sometimes show no history for a bathroom that already exists. That means the original work was done without inspection, and the current scope has to be revised to bring it up to code before we proceed.
- Ventilation that was never adequate. Many original West Miami bathrooms vent into the attic or nowhere at all. In this climate, that steams the drywall, grows mold behind the tile, and rots drywall. A proper baffled vent fan to the outside is part of every full remodel we do.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in West Miami
Yes. Any remodel that alters plumbing, electrical, or structural framing in West Miami requires a city permit and a rough-in inspection before walls close, followed by a final inspection at completion. If drainage, supply lines, or framing are touched, even inside the same footprint, you need the city’s sign-off. We pull the permit under our license, schedule the inspections, and walk you through every pass. The final inspection is a protection for you, and it’s included in our written price.
A full bathroom remodel in West Miami runs $10,620 to $33,040. A small bathroom remodel runs $5,900 to $14,160. Walk-in shower installation runs $5,310 to $14,160. What changes the number is not a salesman’s mood; it’s square footage, whether you move any plumbing, whether the old framing is sound, and what fixtures and tile you select. For an exact quote on your specific bathroom, call (803) 680-2547. Our estimates are free and written.
Most West Miami homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s, and many were added onto or converted by previous owners without permits. That means original cast-iron drains, past tub moves with patched subfloors, and wiring or venting that was never inspected. When demo opens those walls, the hidden damage is exposed, and it has to be fixed before tile goes up. With us, that repair is priced as a written change order, not a surprise on the final bill.
Count on three to five weeks for a full remodel once the permit is issued. The permit itself usually clears in one to two weeks in West Miami, assuming no past unpermitted work complicates the record. A small bath or a straightforward tub-to-shower conversion can finish in two to three weeks after permit. We give you a calendar at contract signing, and we update it when inspections and material deliveries shift it.
At minimum, you should have a written scope of work, an itemized price, the listed fixtures and tile allowances, the permit plan, the inspection sequence, and the written guarantee terms, including the 365-day completion date. At Mason Remodeling, all of that is standard. We also give you the names and photos of the crew members who will be in your home, before they arrive. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk through the exact documents you’ll sign.
