What bathroom remodeling covers in Orlando
- Primary bathrooms, guest and hall baths, and powder rooms.
- Tub-to-shower conversions, the most common single request we get.
- Walk-in showers and curbless showers for anyone planning to stay in the house.
- Vanities, bathtub replacement, and tile with the waterproofing underneath it.
Waterproofing is the job
A shower that leaks does not usually announce itself. It shows up months later as a soft baseboard in the next room, or a stain on a ceiling below. On a slab-on-grade house, which is nearly all of them here, a failed pan means opening the floor.
So the parts of a bathroom you will never see are the parts worth paying attention to: a continuous waterproof membrane, the slope to the drain, how the curb and the corners are treated, and how the shower niche is detailed. We will walk you through what is going in behind the tile before it disappears.
Ventilation, because this is Florida
An extractor fan that vents into the attic instead of through the roof is one of the most common defects we find, and one the Florida Building Code does not permit, and in this climate it is not a small one. Warm wet air into an unconditioned attic is how you grow mould over a bathroom ceiling. Where we find it, we say so, and fixing it is usually inexpensive while the ceiling is open.
Planning to stay in the house
If the answer is yes, a bathroom is the room where that decision pays off. A curbless shower, blocking in the walls for grab bars now even if the bars go in later, a comfort-height toilet and a door wide enough for a walker are all far cheaper as part of a remodel than as a retrofit. None of it has to look clinical. See aging-in-place remodeling.
How long it takes
Bathroom remodeling in Orlando runs a few weeks for a straightforward guest bath. A primary bath that moves fixtures, or where we find rot under the pan, runs longer. Tile and waterproofing have cure times that cannot be compressed, and we would rather tell you that at the start than rush a membrane.
