Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lauderdale Lakes
A full bathroom remodel in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. We serve every corner of Lauderdale Lakes, from the condo communities off NW 31st Avenue to the single-family homes near Vincent Torres Memorial Park, and we put every price in writing before the first tile is pulled. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Lauderdale Lakes, call Trevor Nash and the team at (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate.
We’ve done enough work in Lauderdale Lakes to know exactly what sits behind the walls of these mid-century concrete block homes and older condominium buildings. Taking on a bathroom here is different from a remodel in a newer city like Tamarac. The age of the buildings, the flat roofs, the humidity, and the code requirements all shape what a realistic remodel involves. That local experience is why homeowners call us when they want a price they can hold us to.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Lauderdale Lakes homeowners choose us because we handle the discoveries that send other contractors running. Open a wall in a 1960s condo here and you’re likely to find galvanized supply lines corroded to pinholes, wood framing rotted from years of flat-roof runoff, or electrical work that hasn’t been touched since the original build. We plan for those findings before demolition starts, with written allowances built into the contract, and any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before our crew touches it.
Every technician who arrives at your Lauderdale Lakes home is background-checked and in uniform. A real person answers the phone 24/7, no voicemail maze. And the work is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge, in writing on every project. Trevor Nash leads the team, and he operates by the Kingswell standard: written price up front, defined arrival window, written guarantee on everything we install.
We’ve built our reputation in Lauderdale Lakes one bathroom at a time. Homeowners in communities like East Gate and Oriole Estates call us back because the number on day one matches the invoice on day done. That consistency is the whole point behind The Kingswell Way, established in 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, and leave the place cleaner than we found it.

Tub to Shower Conversion in Lauderdale Lakes
A tub to shower conversion in Lauderdale Lakes replaces an old bathtub with a walk-in shower, typically for $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the shower base, wall surround, glass enclosure, and any plumbing modifications the existing rough-in requires. It’s the most common project we do in the city’s older condo buildings, where a 60-year-old cast-iron tub has become a safety hazard and a maintenance burden. For many Lauderdale Lakes homeowners, the conversion is the fastest way to get a safer, more usable bathroom without a full gut remodel.
When the Existing Tub Has Hidden Damage
In Lauderdale Lakes, the condition of the wall behind the tub often dictates how far a conversion goes. We regularly find rusted cast-iron traps, corroded galvanized supply lines, and damp framing under old tub decks that have been leaking for years. Our written quote includes an allowance for rough-in replacement, and if we find more damage after demo, the change order gets written and approved before we proceed.
Why Condo Owners Choose This Route
Condo communities across Lauderdale Lakes, especially those along W Oakland Park Boulevard, have bathrooms that were built to a tighter footprint than today’s standards. A tub-to-shower conversion opens up visual space in the room without moving any walls, and it gives us the chance to correct waterproofing that was never up to modern code in the first place.
One Day Bath Remodel in Lauderdale Lakes
A One Day Bath Remodel in Lauderdale Lakes is exactly what it sounds like: we replace the tub or shower, install new wall surrounds, update the faucets and drain, and have the bathroom usable again by the end of the day. It typically costs between $3,000 and $8,500, depending on the shower base and fixture selections. For Lauderdale Lakes homeowners with a single bathroom, the speed matters. We plan every step before we arrive and coordinate the permit paperwork in advance.
What a One Day Remodel Does Not Skip
There is no shortcut on waterproofing or code compliance, even when the job finishes in a day. We still inspect the subfloor and lower wall framing, we still verify the drain and vent configuration, and we still pull the permit when the scope requires it. The speed comes from planning, not from cutting corners.
When a One Day Remodel Makes Sense
If the rest of the bathroom is in good shape and the only worn-out piece is the tub or shower surround, a one-day remodel is the right call. It’s common in Lauderdale Lakes rental units and condos where owners want to refresh a bathroom quickly between tenants, or where a leaking shower pan has been putting water into the unit below.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We install and service fixtures and materials from brands our Lauderdale Lakes customers know, including Kohler, Moen, Delta, and Cambria. For window and glass components in bathrooms, we work with CWS and Mr-Glass, both reliable names in South Florida. Because we’re local to Broward County, we keep common trim kits, cartridges, and replacement parts in stock, which means fewer delays when a fixture arrives with a defect or a drawer slide gets damaged during install. Our suppliers deliver to Lauderdale Lakes weekly, so special-order items don’t sit in limbo.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Rotted subfloor from flat-roof leaks. Many of Lauderdale Lakes’s original condo buildings have shallow, flat roofs that pool water, and that water travels down through the building. By the time it reaches a bathroom wall, the subfloor sheathing and bottom plates are often soft or rotted, and the framing needs repair before any finish work starts.
- Corroded galvanized plumbing. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s in Lauderdale Lakes frequently still have original galvanized supply lines. We routinely find pinhole leaks behind tubs and vanities, and replacing those lines with PEX or copper is a common part of a remodel’s rough-in phase.
- Undersized or outdated electrical. Adding a dedicated circuit for a curbless shower’s linear drain pump, a heated floor, or a towel warmer often reveals that the existing breaker panel can’t carry the load. It’s a Code Compliance Department issue in Lauderdale Lakes, and it’s cheaper to address while the walls are open.
- Failed waterproofing from old remodels. Past repairs in Lauderdale Lakes bathrooms were often done with green board or plain drywall behind tile, not cement board or modern waterproof membranes. That substrate failure is behind most of the mold and loose tile we see here.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
In most cases, swapping a vanity, toilet, or tile requires no permit in Lauderdale Lakes, as long as you aren’t moving plumbing, changing the shower valve configuration, or opening walls to alter framing. The moment we relocate a drain, add an electrical circuit, or modify any structural framing, a permit gets pulled through the City of Lauderdale Lakes. We handle the paperwork, and the permit cost is in our written quote. Call (754) 551-2922 to confirm what your specific project needs.
We write a specific allowance into the contract for subfloor and framing repair, and we price the allowance based on what we’ve found in similar Lauderdale Lakes condo units. If we open the wall and find more damage than the allowance covers, we write a change order with an exact dollar figure before touching the additional framing. You approve it, or you don’t. Nothing happens without your signature.
The two most common are electrical and waterproofing. Adding a dedicated 20-amp circuit for the bathroom outlets often requires a panel upgrade if the existing panel is original, and current South Florida Building Code requires waterproof membrane and cement board where older homes have plain drywall. We factor both into the estimate before demo starts so the permit inspection doesn’t produce a surprise red tag.
Yes. We remove and replace the shower pan with a proper waterproof membrane and sloped base, and we test the drain and pan for 24 hours before installing finish materials. Condo associations in Lauderdale Lakes often require a written notice for plumbing work, and we’ll provide the documentation your board requests. The goal is zero water ever reaching the unit below.
A One Day Bath Remodel includes the tub or shower base, wall surround, new valve and trim, drain, and a basic glass enclosure or curtain rod. The permit applies whenever we alter the valve body or drain location, and yes, we still pull it. The one-day timeline means the work is completed in a single visit, not that the inspection is skipped. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free written estimate.
