AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Fort Lauderdale
Bathroom remodeling in Fort Lauderdale runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with most walk-in shower installations and tub-to-shower conversions falling between $3,500 and $12,000 depending on scope and HVHZ compliance requirements. We’re Rowan Construction Group, and our crews work Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods from Las Olas Isles to Rio Vista to Plantation Isles with the same discipline we apply to every project: a written price before anyone picks up a tool, a signed scope, and a documented photo record when we leave. Scheduling and dispatch are coordinated from our Miami office, but the crew that arrives at your Fort Lauderdale door is local, background-checked, uniformed, and carrying the Haven Standard in writing. Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Rowan Construction Group Fort Lauderdale Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered more than 4,000 projects since 2007, and every one started with a flat written price and finished within a few percent of that number - the administrative discipline Haven acquired Rowan for. In Fort Lauderdale, that record matters more than in most markets because the regulatory stack is thicker here: HVHZ product approvals, FEMA AE flood-zone elevation requirements, and a municipal infrastructure schedule that can shift utility depths mid-project if your contractor isn’t watching.
Our Fort Lauderdale customers leave three-star reviews that mention specifics - the photo record they received, the signed change order before the tile upgrade, the inspection that passed on the first walk-through. That’s the customer we write for: someone who screenshots our price range before calling, who reads the critical reviews for evidence, who wants a text confirmation of the appointment window.
A live person answers our phones 24/7. Not a promise to call back - a human who can confirm your appointment, flag your address for the HVHZ product-approval checklist, and send the text confirmation you asked for. Response time to Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods typically runs same-week for estimates, with work scheduled once the written quote is signed and the permit application is filed.
Our local knowledge is narrow and deep: we know which Fort Lauderdale inspection cycles are backed up due to pump-station coordination, which CBS slab homes in the 33301 and 33316 ZIPs have original cast-iron drains bedded without venting, and which exterior window and exhaust-vent SKUs carry the HVHZ approval that cheaper quotes skip. That knowledge saves our customers from the inspection failure, the change order, and the insurance void that follows non-compliant work.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Fort Lauderdale
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Fort Lauderdale means working within CBS construction, often with original 1960s-1980s plumbing embedded in the slab, and always with the HVHZ standard hanging over any exterior opening. Our quotes for full Fort Lauderdale bathroom remodeling start at $9,000 and run to $28,000, with the spread driven by fixture grade, tile scope, and whether we’re moving drains through load-bearing block. We pull the permits, we document the vent routing, and we don’t close the subfloor until the inspector has signed the rough-in.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in shower installation in Fort Lauderdale is our most requested bathroom upgrade, particularly in Rio Vista and Colee Hammock homes where aging owners want to age in place but can’t sacrifice the structural integrity their insurance underwriter expects. A proper Fort Lauderdale walk-in shower runs $4,500-$12,000 and must include a flood-compliant shower pan, HVHZ-rated glass if the enclosure faces exterior, and a vented drain line that won’t gurgle when the king tide pushes against the municipal system. We source Kohler and Toto fixtures with documented approval numbers, and the photo record shows you the membrane layer before tile covers it.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Fort Lauderdale costs $3,500-$10,000 and presents a specific local risk: the original tub drain was often wet-vented or not vented at all, and a modern shower pan with a 2-inch drain requires proper venting through that CBS wall. Our crew maps the existing stack before demolition, and if we find cast-iron bedded in the slab with no vent access, we price the vent rough-in in the original quote - not as a surprise change order after the walls are open. In Fort Lauderdale’s FEMA AE zones, we also verify that the new shower floor elevation won’t create a backflow path during seasonal high water.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Fort Lauderdale runs $800-$3,000, with the upper end covering floating vanities anchored to CBS block and plumbed through tile. We work with fifty-plus vetted brands - KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone for countertops - and every SKU in our written quote carries a current HVHZ approval if it touches an exterior wall or window. Tile work in Fort Lauderdale bathrooms requires a waterproofing membrane, not just cement board, because the humidity load here degrades standard substrates faster than inland Florida markets. We specify the membrane brand and installation method in the written scope, and we photograph every layer.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
Our Fort Lauderdale warehouse stocks Kohler, Toto, KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, and Caesarstone - the brands we specify most often in bathroom quotes because their HVHZ documentation is current and their warranty support doesn’t evaporate when Broward County asks for the product-approval letter. We don’t inflate the quote with premium brands you didn’t ask for, and we don’t substitute cheaper SKUs after you’ve signed. The written quote lists every fixture, every cabinet, every square foot of tile by brand and model. If a backordered item threatens the schedule, we notify you by text with alternatives that carry the same approvals, and we don’t proceed with the substitution until you’ve signed the revised line item. That’s Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: the price is written before anyone starts, and it stays written.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Non-HVHZ exterior windows and exhaust vents. A cheap quote installs a standard bathroom window or vent fan that lacks High Velocity Hurricane Zone approval. The inspection fails, the insurance claim voids, and you’re paying twice. We verify the approval number against the Florida Product Approval database before the material hits your driveway.
- Original cast-iron drains bedded in slab without venting. In 1960s Rio Vista and Las Olas Isles CBS homes, we regularly find drain lines with no vent access through the block wall. The new shower pan won’t pass code without it, and cutting a vent path through load-bearing block is not a $400 surprise - it’s a scoped, permitted, structural step that belongs in the original quote.
- Flood-zone elevation missed in floor-raising designs. Fort Lauderdale’s 6-9 foot elevations and FEMA AE designation mean a raised bathroom floor or relocated toilet drain can create a backflow path during king tides. We check the finished-floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for your specific parcel, and we document the compliance in the permit application.
- Utility-depth shifts from municipal pump-station work. The city’s ongoing street-raising and pump-station program shifts water and sewer main depths in active construction zones. A scope that doesn’t account for this can turn into a change order when the rough-in hits a relocated lateral. We monitor the municipal schedule for your block and write contingency into the scope when the risk is real.

What moves a Fort Lauderdale bathroom quote within these ranges: fixture grade (Kohler Devonshire versus Purist), tile material and pattern complexity, whether we’re moving drains through slab, and the HVHZ product-approval tier of any exterior window or vent. A quote that omits the approval documentation is not cheaper - it’s incomplete, and the cost arrives later as a failed inspection, a reinspection fee, or a denied insurance claim. We include the approval letters in your project file as standard, not as an upgrade. Call (754) 254-7676 for an exact quote on your specific bathroom - estimates are free, and we deliver a written scope within 48 hours of the site visit.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, if the work touches any exterior door, window, skylight, or exhaust vent in Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The Florida Building Code requires HVHZ-specific product approval, which is stricter and more expensive than the standard Miami-Dade or Palm Beach County approval. A compliant quote lists the approval number for each exterior component; a cheap quote leaves this out and risks inspection failure plus insurance voidance. Call (754) 254-7676 and we’ll review your existing quote line by line - our Free Second Opinion applies to any written estimate.
It can delay inspections if your property falls within an active pump-station construction zone, because Broward County inspectors coordinate with municipal infrastructure sequencing rather than individual contractor schedules. We monitor the city’s pump-station map before quoting and build realistic inspection windows into the written timeline. In some Las Olas Isles and finger-isle neighborhoods, we’ve seen utility depths shift mid-project when a street-raising phase reaches the block. Our scopes include contingency language for this, so the shift becomes a documented adjustment rather than an unpriced change order. Call (754) 254-7676 to check your block’s status.
Yes, a tub-to-shower conversion in Fort Lauderdale requires a plumbing permit for drain modification and a building permit if any wall structure changes. If the new shower enclosure includes an exterior window, the window must carry HVHZ approval and the installation must pass wind-load inspection. We pull both permits, schedule the inspections, and include the permit fees in the written quote - no “permit allowance” that balloons later. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the conversion if any leak or drain issue surfaces in the first year. Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule your free estimate.
A compliant quote includes: HVHZ product-approval numbers for all exterior components, FEMA AE flood-zone elevation verification for floor and drain work, a written venting plan if the original drain lacks access, permit fees with inspection scheduling, and a documented photo record as standard deliverable. Cheap quotes omit one or more of these, transferring the risk to you as a failed inspection, a reinspection fee, or a flooded vanity during the next king tide. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, our quote is flat, written, and includes every line item before work starts. Call (754) 254-7676 for a quote you can screenshot and compare.
Proper HVHZ documentation can maintain or reduce your hurricane insurance premium by proving that all exterior openings meet the stricter Broward County standard, while missing documentation can void coverage for wind-driven rain damage through a non-compliant bathroom window or vent. We file the product-approval letters, inspection sign-offs, and as-built photos in your project folder, and we provide a copy for your insurance agent on request. After Hurricane Irma, we saw Fort Lauderdale carriers deny claims where the homeowner couldn’t produce HVHZ documentation for post-remodel exterior components. Don’t let a cheap quote become an uncovered loss. Call (754) 254-7676 and we’ll show you what compliant documentation looks like before you sign anything.
