Bathroom remodeling in Margate typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with 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 Margate regularly - from the CBS ranch homes off Royal Palm Boulevard to the neighborhoods near Margate Boulevard and State Road 7. Calls route through our Miami office, but the crew that shows up knows Margate’s permit process, its High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, and the specific inspection sequence that keeps projects moving. If you’re pricing a bathroom remodel, call (754) 254-7676. We’ll deliver a written, line-item quote before any work starts.
Why Rowan Construction Group Fort Lauderdale Is Margate’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve completed bathroom remodels across western Broward County since 2007 - more than 4,000 projects, every one with a written price before work began and a documented photo record when the crew left. Margate homeowners find us because they read the three-star reviews and want a contractor who puts the number in writing.
Our response time to Margate is same-day scheduling for estimates, with crews typically starting within two to three weeks of signed agreement - not because we’re slow, but because we pull permits properly and don’t begin demo until the permit is in hand. That’s the discipline that has kept our projects within a few percent of the agreed price across nearly two decades.
We know Margate’s housing stock. The 1960s-70s CBS ranch homes with flat roofs, minimal attic space, and original jalousie windows are the dominant type we work on. When we quote a bathroom remodel here, we account for the impact-rated window or door assembly the HVHZ requires, the potential full-envelope inspection, and the subfloor conditions that come with slab-on-grade construction in a high water-table area. No surprises at inspection. No change orders we didn’t warn you about.
Our Bathroom Remodeling in Margate customers receive the same standing offers as every Rowan client: the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed by The Haven Standard, a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate, and Clause 1 - the written price before any work starts, always.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Margate

Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Margate means more than tile and fixtures. Because Broward County sits entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, any window or exterior door in the bathroom must be impact-rated and properly flashed to meet HVHZ opening requirements. On a typical 1972 CBS ranch off Royal Palm Boulevard in Margate, our crew opened a bathroom wall and found the original jalousie window and single-pane aluminum frame still in place - non-compliant with HVHZ. We rebuilt the rough-in, replaced it with an impact-rated assembly, and brought the subfloor and wall connections up to code before the inspector’s sign-off. The customer’s carrier later confirmed the documented impact opening in writing, which mattered at renewal. That’s the difference between a cosmetic update and a compliant remodel.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Margate runs $4,500-$12,000 and is the most requested bathroom upgrade we see in the city’s aging ranch homes. The original showers in these 1960s-70s builds often have fiberglass surrounds, inadequate waterproofing membranes, and curb heights that don’t accommodate aging-in-place needs. We install Schluter or Wedi waterproofing systems, pitch the pan to a linear or center drain, and specify frameless glass enclosures with tempered glass that meets Florida’s safety glazing requirements. For homeowners near Coral Gate or the Carriage Hills area, we also verify that any exterior window in the shower wall is impact-rated - a detail cheap quotes often omit.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Margate costs $3,500-$10,000 and solves two problems common in these older homes: the original tub surround is failing, and the bathroom layout wastes space. The conversion requires removing the tub, evaluating the drain line (often cast iron in this vintage), and reconfiguring the valve rough-in for a standalone shower. In Margate’s slab-on-grade construction, drain relocation is limited without breaking concrete, so we design around the existing stack location when possible. We also use this opportunity to inspect the wall cavity for moisture damage - a frequent find in bathrooms that have gone forty-plus years without proper ventilation.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Margate runs $800-$3,000, with tile work typically bundled into the larger remodel scope. We specify porcelain or ceramic tile with a PEI rating of 3 or higher for floor applications - necessary in bathrooms that see heavy use from multi-generational households, common in Margate’s original ranch neighborhoods. For fixtures, we stock and install Kohler, Moen, and Delta lines with local supply-house relationships that keep lead times short. Our written quotes specify the exact model numbers, not “or equivalent,” so you know what you’re getting before demolition starts.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Margate Homes

- Impact-rated windows omitted from the quote. Contractors bid a bathroom remodel without specifying an HVHZ-compliant window or door assembly, so the final inspection fails opening requirements and the certificate of completion stalls. We identify this in the initial walkthrough and price it in writing.
- Original jalousie windows left in place. These single-pane assemblies are categorically non-compliant with HVHZ rules. Leaving them triggers a full-envelope inspection that surfaces unpermitted carport conversions, garage buildouts, or screen enclosures that must be legalized or removed before the new work can close out.
- No permit, no documentation. Work performed without permits or inspection sign-off leaves no record of HVHZ impact compliance. If you file an insurance claim or seek a wind-mitigation premium credit later, you have nothing to show. Our projects include the documented photo record and signed inspection card as standard deliverables.
- Subfloor damage hidden under old tile. Margate’s high water table and the original slab-on-grade construction mean moisture wicks through poorly sealed slabs. We inspect with a moisture meter before setting new tile and specify crack-isolation membrane when readings exceed acceptable thresholds.
