Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Fort Lauderdale
A full bathroom remodel in Fort Lauderdale typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000, with smaller baths landing in the $5,000 to $12,000 range. The bigger variables here are structural retrofits, waterproofing, and lead times on custom materials, not labor hours. If you’re east of US-1 or in a high-rise along the Intracoastal, your project carries a different set of requirements than a 1990s home in Plantation or Davie, and our team plans for those before the first wall comes down. Call (754) 354-3720 for a written price and a straight answer on what your specific home needs.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We know Fort Lauderdale’s housing stock because we work inside it every week. Homes in Coral Ridge, Victoria Park, and Rio Vista are often 1950s-to-1970s concrete block, which means wall flatness, outdated plumbing, and zero waterproofing behind original tile. Coastal condos from Galt Ocean Mile to Las Olas present their own set of rules: concrete slabs that limit plumbing moves, HOA board approvals, and freight elevator scheduling for every sheet of drywall. Our Bathroom Remodeling team factors those site conditions into the estimate before you sign anything.
The Threshold Standard applies to every Mason Remodeling project in Fort Lauderdale. Each crew member is background-checked and identity-verified. You receive the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they arrive in a clean uniform with a photo ID badge at your door. Isaac Pruett, who leads our Fort Lauderdale operations as your General Contractor in Fort Lauderdale, has spent years managing remodels in concrete-block construction and understands what salt air does to metal framing, valves, and drains in this climate.
We put the price in writing before any work begins. Not an estimate range, not a verbal ballpark. A written line-item price. If something goes wrong within 365 days of completion, our Done Right Promise means we return and fix it at no cost to you. That is the entire deal, stated plainly.

One Day Bath Remodel in Fort Lauderdale
A One Day Bath Remodel in Fort Lauderdale gives homeowners a refreshed, fully functional bathroom without the weeks of tear-out and reconstruction that accompany a full gut. The typical project replaces the tub or shower surround, installs a new wall system and valves, and sets a new basin or vanity in a single working day. For many Fort Lauderdale homeowners considering this speed, the tradeoff is clear: you keep your existing footprint and plumbing stub-outs, but every surface you touch is new and properly sealed.
This approach runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on the size of the bath and the fixture selections. It works best in homes where the subfloor and wall framing are sound and the drain locations match the new plan. In older coral-rock and concrete-block homes, we still inspect for water intrusion behind the existing surround before committing to a one-day scope.
What Gets Replaced, and What Stays
We replace the visible wear surfaces: the tub or shower base, the surround walls, the trim, the valve trim, and usually the vanity top. What stays in place is the plumbing inside the wall, the drain location, and the bathroom’s footprint. That constraint is what makes the one-day timeline possible.
When One Day Makes Sense for Your Waterfront Condo
In Fort Lauderdale high-rises, a one-day remodel can sidestep the long HOA review cycles that accompany structural work. No slab cutting, no re-piping. The building’s maintenance team appreciates the contained scope, and you avoid the freight elevator backlog that custom full remodels inevitably trigger.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Fort Lauderdale
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Fort Lauderdale handles the full scope: demolition, structural fixes, rough plumbing, waterproofing, tile, glass, and finish carpentry, including Therma Tru in Fort Lauderdale entry systems when your remodel includes door upgrades. That is what we do on projects where the existing bath is failing, undersized, or fundamentally not working for the people using it. These jobs start at $9,000 and commonly reach $28,000, driven by the cost of custom cabinetry, specialty glass, and tile from brands you will actually keep for twenty years.
We manage permits through Fort Lauderdale’s Building Department, and we know which retrofit requirements apply when you are east of US-1 inside the wind-borne debris zone. The permit path changes depending on whether you have a concrete-block home from 1972 or a condo unit with original cast-iron waste lines. Both are common here. Both we have handled repeatedly.
Designer Coordination and Long Lead Items
When a homeowner has hired an interior designer or architect, we work directly with them on drawings, selections, and approvals. The thing to know early is that custom vanities from KraftMaid or Wellborn, and Cambria or Silestone tops, are not sitting on a shelf. Lead times on those items set your schedule. We order them the week the contract is signed, not after framing starts.
The Written Contract, Before Material Ordering
We fix the price in writing before the first purchase order goes out. That means allowances get confirmed early, fixture selections are locked, and change orders are written, signed, and priced. This is not optional. It is how Mason Remodeling has run jobs since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family, and it is how we keep a Fort Lauderdale remodel from drifting into a year-long saga.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We work with specification-grade material partners including GAF and CertainTeed across the systems we install, and we coordinate directly with suppliers to keep Fort Lauderdale projects moving. When a homeowner wants Cambria or Silestone for the vanity deck, or Moen and Kohler for fixtures, we source from established distributors and track lead times so the framing crew and the finish crew do not end up waiting on each other. Local stocking and supplier relationships mean less downtime for a bathroom sitting half-finished in Coral Ridge or Sailboat Bend.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Water intrusion behind unsealed tile in pre-1990 homes. Original builders here rarely installed waterproof membranes behind shower walls. Two hurricane seasons of humidity later, the drywall behind the tile is holding mold and the studs are starting to soften.
- Cast-iron waste lines seized by salt air. Common in the 1950s-to-1970s housing stock along the Intracoastal and east of US-1. The pipes fail from the outside in, which is why we recommend scoping them during any bathroom tear-out.
- Concrete slabs that limit drain relocation. In Fort Lauderdale high-rises and ground-floor condos, moving a toilet or shower drain means cutting into the slab. That triggers engineering review and HOA sign-off, which adds time and cost before rough-in even begins.
- Out-of-square concrete-block walls. Older block homes in the city were never perfectly flat. When custom cabinetry gets ordered before wall flatness is verified, the install reveals gaps and out-of-square reveals that force expensive change orders at the punch-list stage.

On a 1960s ranch in Coral Ridge, our crew gutted a master bath where salt-air corrosion had seized the original cast-iron waste lines. We coordinated with the building department on permits for re-piping and impact window replacement, then set the vanity and custom Cambria top only after final inspection sign-off.
East of US-1, older concrete-block homes lack modern hurricane strapping and impact-rated bathroom windows, so our remodels frequently include structural retrofits and waterproofing specific to Fort Lauderdale’s wind-borne debris zone. That requirement changes the scope conversation on day one, and it changes the price honestly. We would rather tell you before demolition than after.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale
Homes east of US-1 in Fort Lauderdale sit inside the wind-borne debris zone, so any bathroom window replacement must be impact-rated, and any wall we open gives us the chance to add hurricane strapping that the original build never had. The most common extra steps are waterproofing behind all shower and tub surrounds, replacing corroded cast-iron waste lines, and upgrading the bath fan to a humidity-rated unit that meets current code. Call (754) 354-3720 and we will tell you what applies to your specific home during the free estimate.
Custom cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn typically carries a 8-to-12-week production lead, and Cambria or Silestone tops add another 2-to-3 weeks after field measurements. On a Las Olas condo, those timelines run alongside freight elevator reservations and HOA-mandated construction hours. We order the long-lead materials the week the contract is signed and schedule the labor around confirmed delivery dates, not optimistic ones.
Yes, as long as the new shower drain can tie into the existing drain location. In Fort Lauderdale high-rises, the concrete slab usually cannot be cut without HOA approval and engineering sign-off, so we design the conversion to keep the drain where it is. That is the most cost-disciplined path in a condo, and it does not reduce the finished quality. Call (754) 354-3720 for a written quote specific to your building.
Yes, and we prefer it. Mason Remodeling works directly with designers and architects across Fort Lauderdale, from Harbor Beach to the canals of Las Olas. We review their drawings, manage material selections against lead times, and keep the written contract aligned with what gets specified. Isaac Pruett has managed enough waterfront projects in this city to know when a designer’s finish schedule and a building department’s retrofit requirement are about to collide.
A change order is a written description of the added or revised work, the price for that work, and the new completion date, signed by you and by us before the work begins. It is never a verbal agreement, and it never shows up as a surprise line item on a later invoice. That is the standard Mason Remodeling has applied on every project since 2004, including the custom millwork and architectural glass jobs we run in Fort Lauderdale. Call (754) 354-3720 for an exact written quote on your bathroom remodel.
