Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Wilton Manors
Bathroom remodeling in Wilton Manors, FL typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. We work on the 1950s and 1960s concrete block ranch homes that fill the neighborhoods between Wilton Drive and the Middle River, so we know what hides behind those original tile walls. If you’re planning a remodel in Wilton Manors, call (754) 551-2922 for a written price before any work starts.
Trevor Nash leads our team here, and the way we work is simple: you get a real number on paper, we show up in the window we gave you, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job. No verbal ballparks. No change orders after demo day. Just a bathroom that passes inspection and works for years.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Wilton Manors’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Wilton Manors homeowners call us because we already know what the city’s Building Department will ask for before we pull the first permit. The flood elevation requirements, the wind-load ratings, the zero-lot-line setbacks that trigger Planning and Zoning Board review: none of that is new to us. We’ve walked projects through the floodplain management review on homes near Colohatchee Park, and we know that a bathroom on NE 26th Drive faces a different set of rules than one in an inland Fort Lauderdale neighborhood. That local knowledge keeps your permit moving instead of stalling.
Our Wilton Manors customers also tell us the same thing: they’ve been burned by a contractor who gave a cheap verbal number, pulled a wall open, and suddenly the price doubled. We don’t work that way. You get a written price before demolition, and if something fails inside the 365-day guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge, in writing, on every project. No re-inspection fee. No service call charge. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee, and it’s been our standard since 2004.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Wilton Manors
A bathroom remodeling contractor in Wilton Manors has to handle more than tile and fixtures. The city’s floodplain rules, the High Velocity Hurricane Zone wind requirements, and the mid-century plumbing that’s still in the walls all shape what a compliant job looks like. When a homeowner near Westfield Drive calls us about a full bathroom remodel, we start by checking the base flood elevation for their lot, because that single number determines whether we can run new drain lines below grade or if we need to elevate the shower base and mechanical connections. A full remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the range depends on how much structural work the flood and wind rules require.
Permit-Ready Scope and Rough-In
On older Wilton Manors homes, we typically replace the cast-iron drain lines while the walls and floor are open. It’s more dust, but it’s the right time. We also check the subfloor where the slab meets the exterior walls, because salt air and decades of humidity rot the wood under the tile in ways you won’t see until the old shower pan comes out.
Finishes That Survive the Climate
We use moisture-resistant drywall and cement board substrate, the water-resistant layer behind your tile, on every Wilton Manors bathroom. It costs a little more than standard drywall, but standard drywall behind a shower wall in this humidity becomes a mold problem within a few years. We also spec exhaust fans with enough CFM to actually clear the room, because a steamy bathroom in a 1960s concrete block house never dries on its own.
Walk In Shower in Wilton Manors
A walk-in shower in Wilton Manors is one of the most common upgrades we install, and it’s also the job where wind-load ratings and flood elevation rules intersect. The glass panels and enclosure on a walk-in shower here have to meet the structural requirements for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. A cheap quote out of another market may spec standard glass and standard framing, and if the inspector checks it, the rough-in fails until those materials are swapped for compliant units. We install walk-in showers for $4,500 to $12,000, and every quote we write in Wilton Manors includes the right-rated glass and the flood-compliant drain configuration from day one.
Frameless Glass Done Right
We work with Mr-Glass and CWS for frameless enclosures, because their panels are engineered and tested for the 165 mph wind loads our area requires. The look is clean, but the real reason we use them is the paperwork: when your enclosure meets Miami-Dade NOA standards, the inspector signs off without a second visit.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion on a Slab
In Wilton Manors, most tub-to-shower conversions happen on slab-on-grade foundations, which means the old cast-iron tub drain has to be cut out and relocated. If the new drain line would sit below the 7-foot base flood elevation, we use flood-resistant materials for the pan and connections. The point is not to hide it. It’s to make sure the city’s floodplain manager passes the rough-in the first time, not after a tear-out.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wilton Manors
We install Kohler and Moen fixtures because their valves and cartridges have a track record in South Florida water conditions, and their warranties hold up. For countertops, we use Cambria and Silestone quartz, which carry their own manufacturer coverage alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. For custom glass, we order from Mr-Glass and CWS, both of which stock rated panels for our wind zone. Because we schedule jobs across Wilton Manors weekly, we carry common parts and trim locally, so when a tub-to-shower conversion on NE 21st Court needs a specific drain kit, we’re not waiting a week for freight.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Wilton Manors Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on cast-iron flanges. Homes built in the 1950s and 60s used cast-iron toilet flanges, and decades of humid, salty air cause them to crumble at the bolt slots. We replace them before they leak into the slab.
- Subfloor rot at zero-lot-line walls. Where a 1960s ranch home sits inches from the property line, water from the roof edge pools against the exterior bathroom wall, and the subfloor on that side always goes first. We check it on every job.
- Undersized exhaust fans that never dried anything. A 50-CFM fan in a Wilton Manors bathroom with a low ceiling is a mold factory. We size the fan to the room’s cubic feet, not to the price point of a big-box unit.
- Non-compliant shower glass from out-of-market quotes. If a contractor from outside the area specs glass without a Miami-Dade NOA rating, the inspection stops. We list the exact product and rating on the written quote so the city sees it up front.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Wilton Manors
No, you don’t need a full elevation certificate for a standard interior remodel that doesn’t touch the building footprint, but you do need to know your base flood elevation, which is 7 feet NAVD88 in the Special Flood Hazard Area. If new shower drains or electrical outlets would sit below that height, the city’s floodplain manager will require flood-resistant materials or elevation of those elements. We check this before we quote, so your number already reflects what the city will require. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written estimate.
A walk-in shower enclosure in Wilton Manors needs glazing and framing rated for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means Miami-Dade NOA product approvals, not standard residential glass. That rating is on the product documentation, and our quotes name the exact panel and rating we’re ordering from Mr-Glass or CWS. If a cheap quote doesn’t mention the rating, that’s the first thing the inspector will ask for. Call (754) 551-2922 to get a quote that already includes the right glass.
If your 1950s home sits on a zero-lot-line lot, any bathroom addition that pushes a wall outward will likely trigger Planning and Zoning Board review because the new structure would violate the existing setback. Neighbors often contest projects that might shade a pool or block a breeze, and that can add months. We can tell you quickly whether your addition would need that review and what the likely objections would be. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll walk the site with you.
The city doesn’t require full replacement just because the pipes are old, but if we open the walls and the cast iron is cracked, corroded, or already failing at the joints, the inspector will flag it and require repair or replacement before closing the rough-in. In practice, most 1960s bathrooms in Wilton Manors need at least partial pipe replacement. We scope it during the estimate so it’s in the written price, not a surprise after demo. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate.
You can use standard drywall outside the wet areas, but behind tile and in the shower surround we use moisture-resistant drywall and cement board substrate, period. Wilton Manors sits in a humid coastal climate with a high water table, and standard drywall behind a shower wall holds moisture and grows mold within a few years. The small material upgrade is far cheaper than a mold tear-out later. Call (754) 551-2922 if you want a written quote that specs the right board the first time.
