Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Ojus
A full bathroom remodel in Ojus typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion starting around $3,500. Most jobs here involve more than tile and fixtures because Ojus is unincorporated Miami-Dade, which means county permits, septic setback reviews, and high-water-table slab conditions shape the work. Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale handles that complexity daily, and we put a written price in front of you before any tool leaves the truck. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule your free estimate.
We know the homes here: 1950s and ’60s CBS ranches off NE 205th Terrace, low-rise condos along West Dixie Highway, garden apartments near the Oleta River. When a homeowner in Ojus calls us about a bathroom, they’re usually not just tired of the pink tile. They’re dealing with rusted cast-iron drains, a shower pan that has failed under slab moisture, or a tub alcove that is 54 inches wide when every stock vanity is 60. That local knowledge is the difference between a clean quote and a surprise change order.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale Is Ojus’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We have been remodeling bathrooms in South Florida since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, and we built our reputation in unincorporated pockets like Ojus by doing the unglamorous work first: pulling county permits, coordinating with the Florida Department of Health on septic setbacks, and waterproofing slabs that sit on a water table most contractors never see. Homeowners in Ojus call us back for second bathrooms, then kitchens, because the first job ended with an inspection that passed and a punch list that was empty.
Every crew member who walks onto an Ojus property has been background-checked and identity-verified under The Threshold Standard. Before the visit, you receive the technician’s name and photo. At the door, they show a photo ID badge and a clean marked uniform. Isaac Pruett runs this location, and he holds every project to that standard, no exceptions. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a call tree. Not a voicemail loop. When you call (754) 354-3720, you talk to a human being who can schedule your estimate.

Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Ojus
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Ojus work under rules that incorporated cities like Aventura do not have to deal with. Ojus is unincorporated Miami-Dade, so a bathroom remodel that alters drainage or adds a toilet triggers county plumbing permits, not city ones. That sounds technical until it costs you two extra weeks and a failed inspection. A full bathroom remodel here typically lands between $9,000 and $28,000, and the right company will scope the permit path before quoting.
What the Job Actually Involves
In Ojus, a real bathroom remodel starts with a drain and vent inspection. The original cast-iron stacks in these 1960s CBS homes are often rusted through from salt air and groundwater. If the stack is shot, the job becomes a rough-in replacement, which means cutting the slab, rerouting PVC to county code, and sometimes moving the shower drain far enough that a septic setback review kicks in. We handle all of that under one written price, not as a change order.
Why the County Permit Matters
Homeowners who skip the Miami-Dade permit on a tub-to-shower conversion usually find out at the worst possible moment: an inspector flags the unpermitted work during a later project and the final draw on their renovation loan stalls. Then the walls come back open. In Ojus, permitting is not optional paperwork. It is the difference between a bathroom that closes out clean and one that follows you into the next sale.
Bathroom Renovation in Ojus
Bathroom Renovation in Ojus means working with slab-on-grade concrete construction, which changes how we waterproof, how we set drains, and how we frame walls. Most homes here are single-story CBS ranches from the 1950s through 1970s. The slab sits close to a high water table, so moisture moves through concrete year-round. A renovation that ignores that fails within a year. Expect $9,000 to $28,000 for a full renovation depending on scope.
Slab Conditions and Waterproofing
Before we tile anything in Ojus, we evaluate the slab. If moisture readings are high, we install pressure-treated sleepers and a moisture barrier before the subfloor goes down. Then we set the shower pan with a waterproofing membrane rated for continuous humidity. On one 1960s ranch off NE 205th Terrace, our crew opened the wall and found original cast-iron drains rusted through. We pulled a county permit for a full rough-in replacement, coordinated the health department’s septic setback clearance because the new shower drain moved 18 inches, and set the subfloor with pressure-treated sleepers before tiling. Inspection sign-off took two trips, but the homeowner’s punch list was empty.
When Reframing Becomes Necessary
Ojus homes frequently have non-standard rough openings. The original 1960s bath walls were framed to fit the fixtures of that era, not today’s stock sizes. When a homeowner wants a 60-inch double vanity but the alcove is 54 inches, the choices are custom cabinetry or reframing the wall. We quote that before work starts, so you are not paying a change order after demolition.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We and our Bathroom Remodeling team install and service fixtures and finishes from specification-grade brands including Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Cambria. When a Moen valve body in an Ojus condo needs replacement parts, we know which supply houses near West Dixie Highway stock them, and we handle the warranty paperwork so you don’t have to. We’re also familiar with the GAF and CertainTeed product lines for any adjacent work, though this page is about the bathroom. Fast turnaround matters here because water damage and humidity do not wait for shipping.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Rusted cast-iron drain stacks. The original stacks in 1950s and ’60s Ojus homes corrode from salt air and groundwater. Left alone, they leak into the slab and rot the subfloor from underneath.
- Mastic tile failures over slab. In Ojus’s humidity, mastic never cures properly over concrete. Tiles pop within a year. We use thinset rated for slab application, every time.
- Non-standard vanity alcoves. Original 1950s bathrooms have 54-inch alcoves. Stock 60-inch vanities do not fit without reframing or custom cabinetry, and that changes the price.
- Unpermitted tub-to-shower conversions. Skipping the county permit saves a week today and costs a failed inspection, reopened walls, and a stalled draw schedule later. We pull the permit before we demo.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Ojus
Replacing a vanity and toilet in the exact same location does not typically require a plumbing permit in unincorporated Miami-Dade, but any change to drain location, water supply lines, or adding a fixture does. We determine that during the estimate and pull the permit if the scope triggers one, so you never find out from an inspector. Call (754) 354-3720 for an exact quote, free of charge.
Many Ojus homes, especially the 1950s and ’60s ranches, remain on septic systems rather than county sewer. If your remodel moves a shower drain or adds a toilet, the Florida Department of Health may require a setback review to confirm the new fixture location meets the minimum distance from the septic tank and drain field. We coordinate that review as part of our written price, so it does not become a surprise. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule a free estimate and we will check whether your property is on septic or sewer.
Ojus sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone and much of the area falls within FEMA-designated flood zones. If your remodel opens exterior walls, adds square footage, or modifies fenestration, Miami-Dade code requires the full assembly to meet current wind-load and flood-vent standards, even if the trigger was a shower. We scope this during the estimate so the permit package is complete the first time. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate that covers the full compliance picture.
You can if the stack is intact, and we have seen stacks in Ojus that are still serviceable after 60 years. We have also seen plenty that rusted through from groundwater and salt air and needed full replacement. We camera the stack during our initial visit, and the condition determines whether your remodel stays at the low end of the $9,000 to $28,000 range or moves toward the higher end. Call (754) 354-3720 and we will inspect yours for free as part of the estimate.
For an Ojus slab-on-grade bathroom, plan for $800 to $2,500 in waterproofing and moisture barrier work depending on slab condition, shower size, and whether we are installing a full membrane system or spot-treating around the shower pan. That figure is included in our written price, not added after demo. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule your free estimate and we will give you a line-item breakdown for your specific bath.
