Trusted Bathroom Remodeling for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
A full bathroom remodel in Fort Lauderdale typically costs $9,000 – $28,000 depending on size, fixture choices, and whether you move plumbing. The range covers everything from a modest hall bath refresh with a new vanity and tile to a master suite gut with a walk-in shower and custom cabinetry. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale, led by Trevor Nash, has been serving homeowners across Broward County under The Kingswell Way since 2004. That means one thing in practice: you get a written price before any work starts, and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise on every project. Call (754) 551-2922 to talk through your bathroom with a real person, any hour of the day.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor is the licensed professional who handles the full scope of a bathroom project: demo, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, electrical, and finish work. You need one when the job goes beyond swapping a faucet or repainting. For Bathroom Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale, where humidity attacks grout and caulk year-round, the waterproofing details matter more than the tile pattern. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale bids bathroom remodels from $9,000 to $28,000, with the number locked in writing before demo day. Trevor Nash reviews every scope personally so the price you approve is the price you pay.
Full Contracting Scope
We handle the project end to end: permit coordination, material ordering, subcontractor scheduling, and the final walkthrough. No homeowner gets handed a list of subcontractors to chase down themselves. The same project lead who measures your bathroom in week one is the person who walks it with you on the final day.
Written Before Work
Our quote is not a range scribbled on a business card. It’s a line-item document stating exactly what we’ll do and what it costs. If something changes mid-job, we put the change order in writing before touching anything.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower
A Walk In Shower is a curbless or low-curb shower with no tub wall to step over, and it’s the single most requested feature in Fort Lauderdale bathroom remodels. Homeowners choose it for easier access, a cleaner sightline, and a more open feel in a tight space. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale installs walk-in showers starting around $4,500 and running up to $12,000 depending on glass, tile, and whether we need to move the drain. Every job includes cement board substrate, which is the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile that keeps Fort Lauderdale humidity out of your wall cavity.
Curbless vs. Low-Curb
A true curbless shower requires lowering the subfloor or a recessed pan, which adds cost but eliminates the trip edge entirely. A low-curb design is less invasive and still far easier to enter than a tub. We’ll show you both options with honest pricing attached.
Proper Slope and Drainage
The slope on a walk-in shower floor has to move water to the drain fast enough to keep it from pooling, but gradual enough to feel comfortable underfoot. We build our pans with a consistent quarter-inch per foot drop and test the drainage before any tile goes down.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies
Bathroom Remodeling Companies range from one-truck handymen to full-service general contractors, and the difference shows up when something goes wrong in year one. The handyman might not be answering his phone. A company with a written guarantee and 24/7 phone coverage answers. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale belongs to the Kingswell family of companies, independently owned and operating under The Kingswell Way since 2004. Our bathroom remodels run $9,000 – $28,000, and every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
How We Differ
Background-checked, uniformed technicians are assigned to every job. You know who is walking into your house, and you know who to call if something isn’t right afterward. A live person answers our phone around the clock, not an answering service.
What to Ask Any Company
Ask for a written price, a written guarantee, and the name of the person who will be on site. If any of those three answers are vague, keep looking. We put all three on paper before your first payment.
Bathroom Renovation
A Bathroom Renovation updates an existing bathroom without changing its footprint: new tile, new vanity, new fixtures, new lighting, and fresh waterproofing where it counts. This is the right move when the layout works fine but the surfaces and fixtures are tired, leaking, or dated. Fort Lauderdale bathrooms with original 1980s tile and single-pane windows benefit enormously from a renovation that prevents the moisture problems those old builds are prone to. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale prices bathroom renovations from $9,000 to $28,000 depending on finishes and what’s hiding behind the old walls.
Renovation vs. Remodel
A renovation keeps the sink where the sink is and the toilet where the toilet is. A remodel moves them. Renovations cost less and take less time because we avoid relocating drain lines and supply pipes through a concrete slab.
Hidden Damage Protocol
When we open walls in a Fort Lauderdale bathroom, we expect to find some degree of moisture damage. We photograph everything we find, show it to you, and price the repair in a written change order before we proceed. No surprises at final billing.
Small Bathroom Remodel
A Small Bathroom Remodel covers the hall bath, guest bath, or powder room under about 40 square feet. For Coconut Creek Bathroom Remodeling and Fort Lauderdale, these projects run $5,000 – $12,000. The tight space actually helps the budget: less tile, less flooring, fewer fixtures. But small bathrooms also punish poor planning, because one inch can decide whether a door clears a vanity or a knee fits between the toilet and the tub. Trevor Nash spends extra time measuring small bathrooms precisely for that reason. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale installs compact vanities, wall-hung toilets, and space-smart shower glass to make the room live larger than it is.
Space-Saving Choices
A floating vanity frees up visual floor space and makes the floor easier to clean. A pocket or barn door eliminates the swing clearance a standard door needs. These details don’t cost much but change how the room feels every day.
Materials for Small Rooms
Large-format tile with thin grout lines reduces visual noise in a small footprint. Light colors and a clear glass shower panel make the room feel less boxed in. We stock samples from recognized trade brands so you can see and touch the options before committing.
Shower Remodel
A Shower Remodel replaces the existing shower enclosure, pan, valve, and tile while leaving the tub (if any) and the rest of the bathroom intact. In Fort Lauderdale, shower remodels run $3,000 – $8,500 depending on the size of the shower, the tile selection, and whether the existing valve needs to be moved to meet current plumbing code. Most showers we open up show signs of water intrusion behind the tile: deteriorated backer board, rusted fasteners, or a pan that has been leaking into the subfloor for years. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale rebuilds the whole assembly, not just the visible surface.
Valve and Waterproofing Upgrade
We replace the old valve with a pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve, which is code-required and prevents the hot-water blast when someone flushes a toilet. The new pan gets a waterproof membrane that runs up the walls before any tile is set.
Glass and Hardware
Framed shower doors trap water and grime in their channels. We typically install frameless or semi-frameless glass in Fort Lauderdale homes, using proper wall reinforcement during the framing stage so the hinges never pull loose. That’s the kind of detail a written guarantee actually protects.
Tub to Shower Conversion
A Tub to Shower Conversion removes the existing bathtub and replaces it with a walk-in shower in the same footprint. The job runs $3,500 – $10,000 for Bathroom Remodeling in Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale, and it’s the most popular project we do for older homes in Victoria Park, Rio Vista, and Coral Ridge. Those neighborhoods are full of original 1960s tubs that no one uses, taking up space a walk-in shower would use far better. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale handles the demo, drain relocation, waterproofing, tile, glass, and trim work under one written contract.
Drain and Valve Work
A tub drain is 1.5 inches; a shower drain is 2 inches. We replace the drain line and trap to current code, and we move or replace the valve while the wall is open. Skipping these steps is how conversions fail a year later.
The Footprint Question
The old tub footprint is roughly 60 by 30 inches, which makes a generous shower by modern standards. We keep the new shower within that space to avoid moving walls, which keeps the project cost and timeline predictable. Most conversions take about one week from demo to final caulk.
One Day Bath Remodel
A One Day Bath Remodel is a manufacturer-designed acrylic or composite shower system installed over the existing surface in a single day. It’s the right choice when the existing tub or shower is structurally sound and you want a fresh, clean surface quickly. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale installs these systems in the $3,000 – $8,500 range, and we recommend them mainly for secondary bathrooms and rental properties. For primary bathrooms where the tile behind the wall is failing, a full remodel is the only honest recommendation. We’ll tell you which one your bathroom actually needs.
What It Won’t Fix
A one-day acrylic overlay does nothing for water damage already inside the wall, and it can trap existing moisture. If the original tile is cracked or the grout is failing, the quick fix is not a fix at all. We inspect before recommending one.
When It Makes Sense
If the existing shell is dry and square, a one-day system gives you a new look without the mess and duration of a full tear-out. It carries manufacturer coverage, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise still applies to the installation work.

AfterBrands We Service
Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale installs and services bathrooms built around CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems products wherever those appear in window and enclosure applications. We work with CWS impact-rated windows in bathroom applications across Broward County, and we’re familiar with their installation requirements for coastal building code compliance. ES Windows and ECO Window Systems both appear in Fort Lauderdale homes, particularly where owners have upgraded for storm protection, and we coordinate the window portion of a bathroom remodel without outsourcing the scheduling.
If your bathroom has Mr-Glass shower doors or enclosures, we can work around them or replace them as the project requires. Whether your home uses these brands or any other make, the scope is the same: a written price, a clean job site, and a written guarantee covering the finished bathroom.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Loose or soft tile around the shower. If the tile gives when you press it or sounds hollow when tapped, water has likely compromised the substrate behind it. In Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, that moisture spreads quickly into framing.
- Musty odor that won’t ventilate away. Persistent mildew smell usually means water is trapped where you can’t see it. Painting over it hides the symptom. The water source has to be found and stopped.
- Grout cracking or crumbling along the pan. Grout failure at the shower floor edge is a structural warning. The pan below is no longer sealed, and every shower sends water into the subfloor.
- Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom. That’s a leak that has already traveled through the floor assembly. The longer it runs, the more expensive the repair becomes. Call us at (754) 551-2922, and we’ll diagnose it.
- Doors that stick or won’t latch. In South Florida, swollen door frames in or near a bathroom often trace back to steam and moisture exposure. The door is the symptom. The ventilation and waterproofing are the cure.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (754) 551-2922, and a real person picks up. We ask about your bathroom, your timeline, and what’s not working today. If your project sounds like a fit, we schedule an in-home visit.
- 2
The in-home measure and conversation. We show up in a uniform at a time we committed to. Trevor Nash or a project lead walks the bathroom, checks the existing plumbing layout, looks for water damage signals, and listens to what you actually want.
- 3
Your written price. Within days, you receive a written line-item price covering all labor, materials, and permit fees. The number on day one is the number on the invoice, unless you approve a written change order.
- 4
Permits and demo. We pull the permit for the job and schedule inspections. Demo happens with dust containment: plastic barriers, floor protection, and daily cleanup before the crew leaves.
- 5
Build, inspect, and walk through. We install the waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and glass, then pass the required inspections. You walk the bathroom with the project lead. Anything you flag gets fixed before final payment. Then the 365-Day Done Right Promise begins.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A typical bathroom remodel in Fort Lauderdale runs $9,000 – $28,000. The spread comes down to scope. A small bathroom remodel with stock vanity, fiberglass shower pan, and basic tile typically lands between $5,000 and $12,000. A walk-in shower installation alone runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on glass and waterproofing requirements. A tub-to-shower conversion is usually $3,500 – $10,000. A full master bath with custom cabinetry, large-format tile, and premium fixtures pushes toward the top of the $28,000 range.
The biggest cost drivers are whether you move plumbing, the tile and countertop materials you select, and what condition the framing is in once the old surfaces come off. Homes in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Sailboat Bend and Shady Banks often have cast-iron drain lines that may need replacement during a remodel, which is a known cost we discuss up front. To avoid overpaying, get a written line-item estimate, ask whether plumbing relocation is included, and confirm the warranty terms in writing. Our free estimate includes all of that: a written scope, a fixed price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise attached.
