Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Sunrise
Bathroom remodeling in Sunrise typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on the size of the room, whether you’re moving plumbing, and what kind of finishes you choose. A straightforward tub-to-shower conversion lands closer to $3,500 to $10,000, while a full gut renovation with under-slab drain work can push toward the upper end. We serve every part of Sunrise, from the older concrete-block neighborhoods west of University Drive to the master-planned communities around Sawgrass Mills. Call (754) 354-3720 to talk through your project and get a written price before anything starts.
What makes remodeling here different is the ground itself. Sunrise sits low and flat with a high water table, which means water moves through the soil in ways it doesn’t in most other Broward cities. The humid subtropical air rusts metal fast and feeds mold in any wall cavity that isn’t sealed correctly. Add strict South Florida wind-load and flood-mitigation codes, and you can’t just copy a bathroom design from a national catalog and expect it to hold up. We plan every Sunrise job around that reality.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale Is Sunrise’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Our team has been handling Bathroom Remodeling work across Sunrise since our founding in 2004, and we’ve seen how the local housing stock ages. The 1960s to 1980s single-family homes that make up a huge share of Sunrise were built solid, with concrete block and terrazzo floors, but their plumbing and waterproofing are now at end-of-life. The newer master-planned subdivisions have the opposite issue: new construction built fast enough that builder-grade shower pans and tile backer boards never got the attention they needed.
Every crew member who sets foot in your Sunrise home is identity-verified through The Threshold Standard. That means before we arrive, you get the technician’s name and photo, and at the door they show a photo ID badge and come in a clean, marked uniform. If you’re home alone during the day, or you have young kids, that’s the kind of thing that matters more than a logo on the side of a truck. We’re comfortable saying that because we built our whole process around it.
You’ll also get a written price before any work starts. Not a verbal ballpark. Not an estimate that grows when the tile comes off. A written scope of work with real dollar figures. And when the job is done, it’s covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right within a year of completion, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. Isaac Pruett, who leads our team, put that policy in writing because he got tired of watching homeowners get burned by vague warranties elsewhere in the industry.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Sunrise
Bathroom remodeling companies in Sunrise vary widely in what they actually deliver, and most homeowners find that out too late. We tell you up front: a real bathroom remodel here means more than swapping a vanity and calling it done. In older east Sunrise homes, it means evaluating the cast-iron drain lines under the slab before you spend a dollar on tile. In newer west Sunrise developments, it means checking whether the builder-grade waterproofing behind the shower walls is actually doing its job. That’s the work, and that’s why we charge what we charge. A full bathroom remodel in Sunrise runs $9,000 to $28,000.
Inspection Before Demolition
We don’t swing the sledgehammer first. We look at what’s inside the wall and under the floor. In Sunrise specifically, the high water table means cast-iron plumbing from the 1970s can be rotting from the outside in, even when the inside of the pipe looks fine. A cracked drain line won’t show up until the tile comes up or the smell comes through.
Written Scope, No Verbal Guesses
Once we know what we’re dealing with, you get a written price with line items. If the drain needs replacing, that’s in the scope. If the subfloor is compromised, that’s in there too. No change-order games in the third week of the job.
Bathroom Renovation in Sunrise
Bathroom renovation in Sunrise usually starts with one of three triggers: a homeowner in a 1970s house west of Nob Hill Road can smell moisture after rain, someone in a Sawgrass-area subdivision wants to replace builder-grade finishes, or an older adult wants to swap a tub for a walk-in shower before mobility becomes a real problem. Whichever it is, the cost picture is the same as what we covered above: $9,000 to $28,000 for a full renovation, less for targeted upgrades.
Builder-Grade Upgrades That Pay Off
In the master-planned communities around Sawgrass Mills, we see a lot of bathrooms that are only five or ten years old but already failing. The fixtures are fine. The waterproofing isn’t. We focus money where it protects the house: a proper Schluter strip, that’s the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring, cement board instead of greenboard, and a shower pan that slopes correctly.
Working Inside HOA Rules
Many newer Sunrise developments have architectural review committees that need to approve visible changes. A bathroom remodel that stays interior usually slips through, but if you’re adding a window or relocating a vent that changes the roofline, you may need written approval before the permit office looks at it. We handle that paperwork.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We install and service fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Delta, and we keep common replacement parts stocked for Sunrise customers so a simple swap doesn’t turn into a two-week wait. If you’ve got a Moen shower valve that’s starting to stick, we can usually fix it the day we see it. For full remodels, we spec Kohler shower components and Delta faucets because they hold up to the mineral content in South Florida water and they’re easy to source parts for years down the road. Blanco makes an occasional appearance when we’re doing a custom vanity counter.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Rotted cast-iron drains under the slab. In the neighborhoods west of University Drive, many homes still sit on original cast-iron waste lines. The high water table corrodes them from the outside, and after 40 to 50 years they crack. Any bathroom remodel in that area should budget for potential under-slab repiping.
- Mold behind builder-grade tile. Newer Sunrise master-planned homes often had showers built with greenboard instead of cement board behind the tile. The humid subtropical climate pushes moisture into the wall cavity, and within a few years, mold starts feeding. When tile comes out, the backer goes too.
- HOA stop-work orders. We’ve had Sunrise homeowners call us after their contractor got flagged by an architectural review committee for changing a window or exterior vent without approval. In some newer developments around Sawgrass Mills, that means a fine and a red-tag until the paperwork is corrected. We verify HOA requirements before we file permits.
- Corroded fixtures from humid air. Cheap metal components rust fast in Sunrise. Exposed shower hinges, drain covers, and even vanity hardware will pit and corrode within a few years if they’re not rated for coastal humidity. We spec stainless or solid brass hardware with a lifetime finish warranty from brands like Delta and Kohler.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Sunrise
No permit is required in Sunrise if you’re swapping like-for-like fixtures, meaning the toilet stays in the same spot and the vanity uses the existing plumbing rough-in. The moment you move a water line, relocate a drain, or alter any electrical wiring, you need a permit. We file all permits for any job where they’re required, and that cost is included in the written price.
Read your builder warranty carefully before you touch anything. Most newer Sunrise homes have a structural warranty that stays valid regardless of interior work, but plumbing and waterproofing warranties often require that any modifications be done by a licensed contractor with permits pulled. We document everything, keep the permit record, and provide written proof of what was changed, so if a warranty claim comes up later, you’re not left holding no paperwork.
It might be, and that’s one of the most common calls we get from older Sunrise neighborhoods. The smell often comes from a cracked cast-iron drain line under the slab, which lets sewer gas seep up through the floor during heavy rain when the water table rises. You’ll also sometimes see efflorescence, that’s a white powdery residue, on the tile grout. We can run a camera down the line and tell you what’s actually happening before anyone opens the floor.
It depends on the development, but most newer HOAs in the Sawgrass Mills area require written approval for anything that changes the exterior, which means windows, exterior vents, or plumbing that changes the roofline. Interior-only bathroom remodels usually don’t need HOA approval at all. We research your specific HOA’s rules before we file anything so you’re never the one getting a violation letter in the mail.
Three reasons. First, the high water table means older homes often need under-slab drain work that builders in other cities rarely touch. Second, South Florida storm-hardening codes require specific waterproofing and wind-load standards that add materials cost. Third, material availability and labor rates in western Broward run slightly higher than in other parts of the county. You’re paying for durable install that survives a hurricane season.
Last spring we remodeled a master bath in a 1970s concrete-block home near Nob Hill Road and Sunset Strip. The homeowner wanted a walk-in shower with a Kohler fixture package, but our rough-in inspection revealed the original cast-iron drain under the slab had cracked, likely from years of high water table pressure. We pulled permits, opened the floor, and replaced the rotted line with PVC before our tile crew set the waterproofing and a new Silestone bench, all documented in the scope of work so there were no change-order surprises. That’s how we handle every Sunrise job: find the real problem first, fix it, and keep the homeowner informed the whole way through.
