AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lauderdale Lakes
Bathroom remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with smaller baths and tub-to-shower conversions starting closer to $3,500-$10,000. Most Lauderdale Lakes projects take 2-4 weeks from permit pull to final inspection, depending on what we find once the walls open up. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule your free estimate - we’ll put the number in writing before anyone picks up a tool.
We serve Lauderdale Lakes from our Miami (South FL) dispatch office, with crews who know the city’s tight garden-apartment layouts and the Broward County permit process. If you live in one of the 1960s-70s CBS complexes near Oakland Park Boulevard or in the smaller condo associations off State Road 7, you’ve probably already seen the SB-4D inspection notices going up. We’re the Bathroom Remodeling team that knows how to work inside those constraints - no exterior staging, shared plumbing chases, and inspectors who know exactly what era your building came from.
Why Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered more than 4,000 projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. In Lauderdale Lakes specifically, that discipline matters more than most places. The city’s aging CBS stock means surprises behind the tile are the rule, not the exception. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise, backed by The Haven Standard, gives you a terms page to point to - not a handshake.
Lauderdale Lakes customers get the same flat-price quote structure we use across all seven trades: a written scope, a written warranty, and no change order signed until you approve the new number in writing. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with a documented photo record as standard, and a live person answers calls 24/7. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate - bring a competitor’s quote and we’ll review it line by line at no charge.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Lauderdale Lakes means working within tight urban lots and shared walls. In the city’s 1960s-70s garden apartments, we often find galvanized plumbing, 100-amp panels, and no waterproofing membrane behind original tile. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any surprise in writing before we touch it. A typical full remodel in Lauderdale Lakes runs $9,000-$28,000.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation is one of our most requested services in Lauderdale Lakes, especially among owners updating aging garden-apartment units. A proper install requires a sloped pan, a waterproof membrane (the layer that stops water from reaching the subfloor), and modern drainage tied to often-undersized original stacks. In Lauderdale Lakes, we regularly see $4,500-$12,000 for this work, with final cost hinging on whether the original rough-in can handle the flow.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Lauderdale Lakes is often the most practical update for older CBS units where the original tub surround has failed. We were hired to convert a tub to a walk-in shower in a two-story CBS garden apartment near Oakland Park Boulevard, and once we opened the original 1970s bath wall we found galvanized supply lines, a rotted wood subfloor around the drain, and no waterproofing membrane behind the tile. We wrote a change order for the rough-in and subfloor repair, pulled the permits with Broward County, and our tech replaced the supply lines in PEX, rebuilt the pan with a proper membrane, and tiled it out with Moen fixtures - the unit passed inspection sign-off, and the owner had the whole scope of work in writing before we demoed anything. Typical range: $3,500-$10,000.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Lauderdale Lakes runs $800-$3,000 depending on whether we’re moving plumbing or working within the existing chase. In garden apartments with shared walls, moving a vanity often means coordinating with the unit next door. We stock Kohler and Moen fixtures with local supply-house relationships for fast turnaround, and we source tile through vendors who understand Broward County’s humidity demands - porcelain over ceramic for wet areas, always.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Small bathroom remodels in Lauderdale Lakes - the 5×7 and 5×8 baths common in the city’s older stock - start at $5,000-$12,000. These jobs reward careful planning because there’s nowhere to stage materials and no margin for error in layout. We measure twice, order once, and deliver a written price that includes permit and inspection costs with Broward County.
Walk-In Shower Installation & Frameless Glass Enclosures
Frameless glass enclosures look sharp, but in Lauderdale Lakes’s humid interior climate they also need proper ventilation or you’ll fight mold on the hardware. We pair these installs with upgraded exhaust fans, which in older units often triggers a panel inspection. We flag that possibility in the original quote so you’re not surprised.
Bathtub Replacement
Replacing a tub in a Lauderdale Lakes garden apartment means getting the old unit out through a hallway or stairwell - no crane, no exterior access. We’ve done enough of these to know the maneuver, and we price the labor accordingly in the written scope.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We source across fifty-plus vetted brands, and for Lauderdale Lakes bathroom remodels we typically specify Kohler and Moen fixtures for their parts availability through local supply houses. For countertops and shower surrounds, we work with Caesarstone and Silestone quartz products - non-porous surfaces that hold up in Broward County’s humidity better than natural stone. Our relationships with these vendors mean the written quote carries honest numbers, not inflated allowances. If a specific brand matters to you, we build it into the scope and price it before we order.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Failed waterproofing and rotted subfloor hidden behind original tile. The 1960s-70s CBS baths in Lauderdale Lakes were rarely built with a modern waterproofing membrane. We find soft subfloor and concrete carbonation damage once demo starts, especially near the drain where decades of humidity have done their work.
- Undersized electrical service when adding GFCI outlets and exhaust fans. Many Lauderdale Lakes units still run on 100-amp panels with aluminum or early-copper wiring. Adding modern bath circuits often triggers a panel upgrade, which we identify in our pre-work inspection and write into the contract as an allowance.
- Shared plumbing chases in garden apartments complicating shutoffs and rough-in. In Lauderdale Lakes’s dense CBS complexes, the plumbing chase serves multiple units. A leak or pressure test failure can migrate into the neighbor’s wall. We coordinate access, document the condition of shared lines with photos, and never open a chase without notifying affected units.
- Humidity-accelerated concrete and rebar deterioration in exterior CBS walls. Lauderdale Lakes’s low-lying position means seasonal water table rise and occasional standing water after heavy rains. When a bathroom remodel involves an exterior wall, we inspect for spalling concrete and exposed rebar - a remediation issue that SB-4D inspectors are now flagging citywide.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
Yes. Broward County requires a building permit for any bathroom remodel that moves plumbing, electrical, or structural elements, and final inspection sign-off is mandatory before the permit closes. In Lauderdale Lakes’s older garden apartments, inspectors also verify that any SB-4D structural findings have been addressed if the building is under mandate. We pull permits as standard on every job, and the permit cost is included in your written quote. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule your free estimate.
We routinely find three issues: failed waterproofing and rotted subfloor behind original tile, galvanized supply lines or early-copper drains at end of life, and undersized electrical service that can’t handle GFCI and exhaust-fan loads. The humid, low-lying conditions in Lauderdale Lakes accelerate concrete carbonation and rebar oxidation in exterior CBS walls, which sometimes extends into bath areas. We build allowances for these findings into every contract and price them in writing before proceeding. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote on your specific bath - estimates are free.
We stop work, document the finding with photos, write a detailed change order with a fixed price, and no work proceeds until you sign it. This is the administrative discipline Haven acquired Rowan for, and it’s why our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed cost. The Haven Standard requires it. Call (754) 714-6540 to discuss how we structure allowances for your specific project.
Yes. Many Lauderdale Lakes garden apartments have no exterior staging and no curb access for dumpsters, so we plan interior material flow and debris removal as part of the written scope. We stage in the unit or a designated common area, protect hallways and elevators, and schedule deliveries to minimize disruption. The tub-to-shower conversion near Oakland Park Boulevard we described above was completed entirely within the unit. Typical range is $3,500-$10,000. Call (754) 714-6540 for a free estimate on your specific layout.
We typically specify Kohler and Moen fixtures, Caesarstone or Silestone quartz for countertops and shower surrounds, and porcelain tile for wet areas.

Call (754) 714-6540 to review material options for your project - estimates are free.
