Bathroom Renovation in Orlando

Expert Bathroom Renovation for Orlando Properties

Orlando homeowners face unique bathroom renovation challenges: the region's high humidity and frequent heavy rains require premium waterproofing, older homes built in the 1970s-1990s often have outdated plumbing that needs upgrading during renovation, and many neighborhoods like Hunters Creek and Lake Nona have strict HOA approval processes requiring 10-15 days for design review before work begins. Central Florida's soil composition and water table elevation mean bathroom floors need reinforced underlayment to prevent settling and water intrusion. Permits from Orange County cost between $150-$300 and take 5-7 business days to approve. Our team has navigated these requirements on properties throughout Orlando, from single-family homes to condo units in downtown high-rises.

A typical bathroom renovation in Orlando takes 3-4 weeks from permit approval to final inspection. We start with structural assessment (Days 1-2), identifying common issues like rotted subfloors and corroded cast-iron pipes prevalent in homes near Edgewood and Belle Isle. Demolition and rough-in plumbing/electrical follows (Days 3-5), then installation of moisture-resistant cement board, premium waterproofing membranes rated for Florida's climate, and fixtures (Days 6-18). Final inspections by Orange County Building Services occur around Day 20. Orlando's 85+ inch annual rainfall makes quality waterproofing non-negotiable-we use Schluter Systems waterproofing (20-year warranty) and Durock cement board on 100% of shower installations.

Signs You Need Bathroom Renovation in Orlando

  • Visible mold or mildew around shower tile grout-extremely common in Orlando's humid climate, especially in homes in Goldenrod and Conway
  • Soft or spongy subfloor near toilet or shower base indicating water damage from years of moisture exposure
  • Cracked or loose tile in shower areas-Florida's temperature swings and humidity cause grout failure
  • Rust-colored water from faucets or discoloration in sink-sign of aging cast-iron drain lines found in pre-1990 Orlando homes
  • Peeling paint or wallpaper on bathroom walls despite ventilation-inadequate exhaust or high humidity penetration
  • Visible gaps between vanity and wall or separating caulk-structural settling common in central Florida's clay soil

Recent Project

Recent Bathroom Renovation Project in Orlando, Florida

In November 2023, we completed a full bathroom renovation for a 1978 ranch home in the Azalea Park neighborhood of south Orlando. The 40-square-foot master bath had original pink tile, corroded cast-iron drain lines, and significant mold in the shower area. We demolished to studs, replaced 8 linear feet of drain line, installed Durock cement board and Schluter waterproofing throughout, laid 12x24 porcelain tile in a modern gray pattern, and installed a 60-inch walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure and rain showerhead. Project took exactly 18 days from permit approval (received March 1) to final county inspection (passed March 19). Total cost was $14,200 including all materials, labor, permits, and inspections. Homeowner chose quartz vanity countertops and Kohler fixtures for durability in Florida's climate.
