Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Tamarac
A full Bathroom Remodeling project in Tamarac typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, with small baths landing closer to $5,000 – $12,000 and walk-in shower installs at $4,500 – $12,000. Those numbers assume what most Tamarac homes actually need: slab checks, cast-iron drain scoping, and Broward County permits pulled before any tile comes off the wall. Trevor Nash and the Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale crew work in Tamarac weekly, so the drive is short and the permit office is familiar. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written price before anything gets demoed.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Tamarac’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We know what’s behind the walls in Tamarac because we’ve opened enough of them. Most of the homes south of Commercial Boulevard, older sections along McNab Road, and nearly all of the Woodlands Country Club neighborhoods were built between the 1960s and 1980s on sandy, fast-draining soil. That means a bathroom remodel here is rarely just tile and fixtures. We check for slab settlement before we quote, because a door that sticks or a cracked shower floor is often structural, not cosmetic.
Our crews are background-checked and arrive in uniform. A live person answers the phone at (754) 551-2922 around the clock, not an answering service. And every Tamarac job gets The Kingswell Way treatment that the brand has operated under since 2004: a written price before work starts, a defined arrival window, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something fails inside that year, we return and fix it at no charge. That’s not a sales line. It’s the standard on a piece of paper you keep.
Styles & brands we work with
Small Bathroom Remodel in Tamarac
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Tamarac usually means a guest bath, a hall bath serving two bedrooms, or a 5’x8′ space in a condominium off Pine Island Road. These jobs run $5,000 – $12,000 here, and the lower end assumes you keep the existing footprint and don’t move plumbing. The upper end starts when a 55+ community HOA requires a specific shower pan detail, or when the original cast-iron drain needs partial replacement under the slab.
What Changes the Price
Moving a toilet flange or shifting a vanity supply line triggers a Broward County plumbing review, and that adds both time and cost. We prefer to know that before we hand you a number. A small bath can still take two to three weeks when county inspection scheduling gets involved.
What We Check First
Floor flatness matters more in a small room. In Tamarac’s older concrete-slab homes, the subfloor often slopes toward a settling corner. That slope determines whether we float leveler before tile or re-route the drain rough-in first. We look before we quote.
Shower Remodel in Tamarac
A Shower Remodel in Tamarac runs $3,000 – $8,500 for a full replacement, while a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on the glass and waterproofing system. In this market, the deciding factor is rarely taste. It’s what we find when the old pan comes up. Homes along Northwest 61st Street and throughout the Woodlands section routinely have settled slabs that cracked the original waste line under the shower, which is a repair you don’t want to discover after tile is set.
Concrete Slab Considerations
Curbless walk-in showers are popular in Tamarac, especially in 55+ communities where aging-in-place design matters. But a curbless pan needs a recessed slab or a raised subfloor to get the required slope. We verify that before quoting, because tearing out four inches of slab changes the job. A standard curb entry usually avoids that entirely.
Waterproofing for South Florida Humidity
An exterior bathroom wall in Tamarac carries hurricane-driven moisture against the inside of the wall assembly all summer. We use cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) and waterproof membrane systems designed for high-humidity climates. Interior-only techniques fail here within a season or two.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We install and service fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Delta, and we keep the most common valve cartridges, trim kits, and shower components in local stock for quick turnaround on Tamarac jobs. If your HOA requires a specific finish or a low-flow valve on a shower remodel, we’ll match it. Kohler walk-in shower systems and Moen grab-bar-compatible valve trims are what we spec most often in the 55+ communities around the Woodlands and Kings Point areas.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Settled slab cracks under old shower pans. The sandy soil across Tamarac shifts more than people expect, and a 1970s house that hasn’t been re-leveled will show it under the shower first. We check with a level and a drain scope before we quote.
- Original cast-iron waste lines rusted through. Many Tamarac homes built before 1985 still have cast-iron drains under the slab. A bathroom remodel is often the moment that hidden corrosion gets found, because the inspector flags it at rough-in.
- HOA renovation rules in 55+ communities. Tamarac has a dense concentration of active adult communities, and most require written board approval for plumbing relocations, shower pan changes, or any modification visible from outside the unit. Starting without that paperwork can mean a stop-work order mid-job.
- Mold behind tile on exterior walls. South Florida humidity plus air-conditioned interiors creates constant condensation pressure. Without proper moisture barrier and ventilation upgrades, a new shower wall facing the outside becomes a mold site within one season.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Tamarac, FL
Here’s what we tell homeowners in Tamarac before we ever pick up a hammer. These are the ranges we’ve quoted and held to in this market:
| Service | Tamarac Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 – $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
What pushes a Tamarac job toward the top of those ranges is usually the hidden stuff: a settled slab that needs leveling, a cast-iron drain that needs scoping and repair, or an HOA that requires a specific waterproofing detail. None of that should surprise you on invoice day. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll give you a written number before any work starts.
One local reality worth stating plainly: In Tamarac, nearly all residential lots were fully built out by the 1980s on sandy, fast-draining soil, so bathroom remodels frequently uncover settled slab foundations and original cast-iron drain lines that must be scoped under Broward County permitting rather than city-level review. That’s not a scare tactic. It’s the most common reason a Tamarac bathroom quote changes between a verbal estimate and a real written price, and it’s why we inspect before we quote.
In the Woodlands Country Club section, we opened a dated 1970s master bath and found the slab had settled enough to crack the original cast-iron waste line under the shower. Our crew re-routed the drain rough-in before any finishes, added a pressure-treated subfloor over the low spot, and specified a Kohler walk-in shower with a reinforced grab-bar wall. Then we called for county inspection sign-off before closing the walls. That’s the sequence that protects the homeowner, and it’s the sequence we follow on every Bathroom Remodeling in Tamarac project.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Tamarac
Yes. Broward County reviews bathroom remodels that involve plumbing rough-in changes, drain replacement, or shower pan replacement, even when walls stay put. A finish-only refresh (new vanity, new toilet in the same location, new tile over existing floor) usually does not. We determine permit triggers at the first visit and factor them into your written price.
No. In Tamarac’s Woodlands and other sandy-soil sections, a cracked shower floor with a sticking door usually means slab settlement, not a grout failure. The slab shifts, the tile cracks, and the door frame torques. We check the slab with a level and scope the drain before recommending any cosmetic fix. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll schedule a look.
Most 55+ communities in Tamarac require written association approval before you change plumbing, shower pan style, or anything visible from outside. Some also require a specific waterproofing detail or a licensed contractor with insurance on file. We handle the HOA paperwork as part of the job and don’t start demolition until the approval is in hand.
Tamarac’s older housing stock adds steps that don’t appear in a national average. The slab often needs leveling, the cast-iron drains frequently need scoping, and Broward County permit review adds time and money. Add HOA compliance on top, and you get the $9,000 – $28,000 range we quote here. The national average rarely includes those South Florida realities.
Yes, but it usually requires either recessing the slab or raising the subfloor to create the right slope toward the drain. That’s an extra step that a standard curb-entry shower doesn’t need. We’ll tell you which option makes sense for your floor and give you a written price for both before you decide.
