Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Dania Beach’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Dania Beach homeowners don’t call us because they want a pretty new vanity. They call because the tile cracked six months after the last guy finished, or because the shower pan leaks into the hallway every time someone takes a long shower. We hear those stories weekly. Trevor Nash founded this company on a simple rule: put the price and the guarantee in writing before a single cabinet gets pulled. That means your number doesn’t move at the door, and if something fails inside a year, we come back free.
We work by the Kingswell standard, which has required a written price, a real arrival window, and a written guarantee on every job since 2004. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they’ll tell you what a substrate is before they install one. You’ll know exactly who’s walking into your home, when they’re coming, and what it costs. That’s the whole promise.
Every job includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s not a verbal wink. It’s in writing, on every single project. We stand behind it because the materials behind it, like Cambria quartz and Kohler fixtures, carry their own warranties too.

Bathroom Renovation in Dania Beach
Bathroom Remodeling in Dania Beach is never just swapping tile. Here’s what actually happens on a full Bathroom Renovation in this city: we open the walls, and we find what a 1960s house near the coast has been hiding for fifty years. Cast-iron drain lines corroded by brackish groundwater. Original 60-amp electrical services that can’t handle a modern bathroom. Waterproofing that wasn’t built for salt-laden ocean air. The permit you pulled to swap a tub now triggers code upgrades the city requires before we can close the wall back up.
A full Bathroom Renovation in Dania Beach runs $9,000 to $28,000. That range moves based on what’s behind the drywall, whether the finished floor sits below base flood elevation, and which finishes you pick. We write plumbing and electrical allowances into the contract before demo starts, so a surprise isn’t a standoff. It’s a line item you already approved.
What Gets Replaced, and Why
In Dania Beach homes, we typically replace the valve wall framing with high-wind strapping because the city requires uplift protection on non-load-bearing walls. We also swap failed cast-iron drains for PVC, which doesn’t corrode in brackish groundwater the way the originals did. These are not upgrades. They’re corrections, and they’re the reason a local permit passes final inspection instead of stalling on it.
Floodplain and Elevation Checks
Because much of Dania Beach sits in FEMA-designated flood zones, a bathroom renovation on a slab foundation can trigger a mandatory elevation analysis. If the finished floor sits below base flood elevation, the city may require flood vents, breakaway walls, or in rare cases partial structure elevation before the inspector signs off. We handle that paperwork and the engineering, so the permit doesn’t becomes a guessing game.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Dania Beach
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Dania Beach is what most homeowners in the older neighborhoods actually need. Think hall baths on 50-foot lots near the downtown grid, or guest baths in mid-rise condos along the Intracoastal. The space is tight, often 40 to 60 square feet, and the budget should be honest. In Dania Beach, a Small Bathroom Remodel typically runs $5,000 to $12,000.
That range assumes we’re keeping the footprint and swapping the fixtures, tile, vanity, and toilet. It assumes the plumbing and wiring are already sound. If they’re not, which happens often in 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes, we’ll write a change order for the re-pipe or panel upgrade before we touch it. You approve the number before we spend it. No exceptions.
Vanity and Fixture Upgrades
A small bathroom doesn’t need a big budget to feel different. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn vanities, Moen or Delta fixtures, and subway tile that holds up to humid coastal air. The difference between a good result and a failed one here is usually the substrate: we use cement board backer, not drywall, behind every shower and tub surround. Moisture gets behind drywall within two years, especially with salt air pushing through exterior walls.
Cast-Iron Drain Issues
Older homes along Federal Highway and the side streets off Dania Beach Boulevard often have original cast-iron waste lines. By the time we open a small bath for remodel, those lines have usually rusted through or cracked. A Small Bathroom Remodel quote that doesn’t include a plumbing allowance is a quote that will move. Ours includes one in writing from day one.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dania Beach
We install materials that won’t quit in coastal air. Cambria and Silestone quartz counters, because they don’t stain and they carry lifetime warranties. Kohler and Moen fixtures, because their finishes hold up when salt breezes are constant. James Hardie siding may not sound like a bathroom product, but when a Dania Beach remodel pushes an exterior wall, we use building materials rated for hurricane zones, not mainland spec. We keep common replacement parts stocked locally for faster turnaround, so a warranty call doesn’t wait on a freight truck.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Dania Beach Homes
- Cast-iron drain lines that fail after demo. Brackish groundwater eats through 50-year-old cast-iron quickly. If your quote doesn’t have a plumbing allowance in writing, the job stalls on a change order dispute. Ours does.
- 60-amp electrical services that can’t handle modern fixtures. The original panel in a 1960s Dania Beach home wasn’t built for heated floors or multiple GFCI circuits. We budget for the panel upgrade when the home’s age suggests it’ll be needed.
- Salt air corrosion on fasteners and backer board. Bathroom tile on an exterior wall fails fast if the contractor used interior-grade screws and paper-faced drywall. We spec salt-air-rated stainless fasteners and cement board, then explains why it matters.
- Below base flood elevation slabs triggering city requirements. If your finished floor sits below BFE, the city of Dania Beach can require flood vents or breakaway wall modifications. We run the elevation check before we order tile, not after demo.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Dania Beach
Yes, in most cases you can remodel without elevating the entire structure, but the city of Dania Beach may require flood vents, breakaway wall modifications, or a partial elevation analysis as a condition of your permit. We run the elevation check early so the requirements are written into your contract before demo begins, not discovered on final inspection. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll walk through your specific slab and flood zone.
We write a plumbing and electrical allowance into the contract before demo starts, so when we open a wall and find cast-iron drain failure or a 60-amp panel, the money to fix it is already scoped. You approve any change order in writing before we spend a dollar. The surprise doesn’t stall the job; it’s a line item we planned for.
Yes, and it fails bad materials fast. Salt-laden ocean breezes accelerate corrosion on metal fasteners and degrade paper-faced drywall behind tile within a few years. We specify salt-air-rated stainless fasteners and cement board substrate on every exterior wall, which is why our work holds up in coastal conditions that wreck interior-grade installation. If a repair fails anyway, our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the fix at no charge.
Dania Beach requires a building permit for any structural, plumbing, or electrical work, and projects in flood zones trigger a FEMA elevation review. Non-load-bearing walls, including a new shower valve wall, must have high-wind strapping to meet uplift protection codes. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and walk it through to final sign-off. You don’t chase the building department.
We line up the inspector early, often right after rough-in for plumbing and electrical, so required upgrades are flagged before we install finishes. When a code upgrade does surface, the allowance we wrote into your contract covers the approved change order, and we keep the crew moving on other trades while the fix happens. The written price and the written guarantee mean the schedule doesn’t become a surprise either. For an exact number on your Dania Beach bathroom, call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate.
