Why Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve completed bathroom remodels in North Lauderdale neighborhoods from the Rock Island Road corridor to the areas near Hampton Pines Park, and the pattern is consistent: these homes were built fast, built before Hurricane Andrew changed Florida’s code, and built with materials that are now at end of life. Our Bathroom Remodeling team knows what to look for before we quote, not after we start.
Our local reputation is built on documentation. Every visit produces a photo record of what we found and what we did. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every contract, backed by The Haven Standard terms page, not an asterisk. Under Clause 1, the price is written before anyone starts. Under Clause 3, no change proceeds without a signed change order. That discipline is why our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed number.
A live person answers our phones 24/7. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. And we offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate - bring us a competitor’s quote and we’ll review it line by line at no charge.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in North Lauderdale
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in North Lauderdale means working inside CBS (concrete block structure) walls that have been closed up for 40-50 years. We inspect first - moisture meter readings, drain line camera scope, electrical panel capacity check - and write allowances into the contract for what we expect but cannot yet see. On a recent full remodel near Kimberly Boulevard, we found terrazzo beneath vinyl flooring and original cast-iron drain lines with active corrosion at the closet bend. Both were priced in the allowance section before we touched them. The finished bath passed Broward County inspection on the first visit.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in shower installation in North Lauderdale runs $4,500-$12,000, depending on whether we’re cutting into a slab for drain relocation or working within the existing footprint. Many 1970s bathrooms here have tub-shower combos with galvanized supply lines and no GFCI protection - code requirements we address during rough-in. We install Moen and Kohler valve systems with waterproofing membranes that meet current Florida Building Code, and we document every layer with photos before tile goes up.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion is our most requested bathroom service in North Lauderdale, typically $3,500-$10,000. The work sounds straightforward: remove tub, install shower base, tile walls. But in a 1978 CBS home, the reality often involves more. On a Rock Island Road corridor job, our crew opened a hall bathroom for this exact conversion and found galvanized drain lines already weeping at the p-trap plus a 1970s electrical panel with no GFCI protection anywhere in the room. We had already written allowances for both into the scope of work, so the rough-in swap and the panel circuit upgrade went in as a signed change order before we closed anything back up. The walk-in shower was finished with a Moen valve and frameless glass, passed inspection sign-off on the first visit, and the punch list was empty at handoff.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in North Lauderdale runs $800-$3,000, but the real work is often in the wall behind it. Original bathrooms here lack proper exhaust venting - a code requirement we meet with inline or ceiling-mounted fans ducted to the exterior. For tile, we specify cement-board substrate with liquid-applied waterproofing membrane, not the greenboard or bare drywall found in original construction. We source Kohler and Moen fixtures through our fifty-plus vetted brand network, which keeps the written quote honest rather than inflated.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale
We maintain sourcing relationships across fifty-plus vetted brands, which means the numbers in your written quote reflect actual material costs, not placeholder allowances. For North Lauderdale bathroom remodels, we regularly specify Kohler and Moen valve and fixture systems, Silestone and Caesarstone for vanity tops, and waterproofing membranes from Laticrete or Schluter. Because we stock common parts locally and coordinate through our Miami (South FL) office, turnaround on material orders doesn’t hold up the schedule. The brand names are listed in your contract, not selected after you sign.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Original galvanized or cast-iron drain lines are already failing. Under a 1970s CBS slab, these lines cannot be patched - they must be replaced during rough-in, which only becomes visible after demolition. We camera-scope before we quote and write replacement allowances into the contract.
- Pre-Andrew bathrooms have no secondary moisture barrier, and flat-roof assemblies leak above them. The flat or low-slope roofs common on North Lauderdale’s CBS homes channel water differently than pitched construction. We inspect ceiling cavities with moisture meters and specify proper waterproofing before tile installation.
- Failed waterproofing behind tile is often the real reason the remodel started, not the tile itself. Homeowners call us about “outdated” bathrooms and discover the substrate is saturated. We document this with photos and price the remediation before proceeding.
- Permit-triggered code upgrades surface mid-job as unpriced change orders on other contractors’ projects. GFCI circuits, exhaust venting, and current Florida Building Code compliance in flood zones are requirements we identify during pre-construction inspection, not surprises after demolition.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in North Lauderdale
Quotes move when contractors bid what they can see and ignore what they cannot. In North Lauderdale’s 1970s CBS homes, we routinely find galvanized drain lines, pre-GFCI electrical, and failed waterproofing behind original tile. We prevent quote movement by inspecting first - camera scopes, moisture readings, panel capacity checks - and writing specific allowances into your contract. If we find something worse than allowance covers, we price it in a signed change order before proceeding, not after. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes, if your home is in a FEMA-mapped flood zone and the project crosses the substantial-improvement threshold. Broward County aggregates permit values carefully, so a mid-range bathroom remodel can trigger full current Florida Building Code compliance, including wind-load upgrades, once walls are open. We research your property’s flood zone status during pre-construction and price any triggered upgrades into the original quote, not as mid-job surprises. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
A tub-to-shower conversion in North Lauderdale typically runs $3,500-$10,000. The range covers standard base-and-tile replacements at the low end and full drain relocation, wall reconstruction, and frameless glass enclosure at the high end. Most 1970s bathrooms require at least electrical and drain work that isn’t visible until demolition. We inspect and allow for this before quoting. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Often, yes. North Lauderdale’s 1970s CBS tract homes frequently have terrazzo slab floors beneath later flooring materials. We verify this during pre-construction inspection and price restoration or covering options in your written quote. Terrazzo can be polished and sealed as a finished floor, or we can install tile or vinyl plank over it with proper underlayment. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We pull the flood zone designation before we quote, check the city’s substantial-improvement calculation against your project scope, and price any triggered upgrades - wind-load connectors, secondary water barriers, impact-rated openings - into the original contract if they apply. Most North Lauderdale bathroom remodels do not trigger full compliance, but when they do, the cost is in writing before work starts, not discovered at inspection. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
