It is the right call when the room fights you every morning, or when old leaks have worn it past patching. ### Shower Remodels and Shower Tile Tiled showers rebuilt from the studs out, with waterproofing behind every wall. We plan every visible choice with you, so the shower is easy to clean for years. ### Vanity Installation and Replacement New vanities set level, sealed to the wall, and hooked up to the water lines already there. Bring the vanity you bought, or let us help you pick one that fits the room and holds what you need to store. ### Tile Floors and Walls Porcelain and ceramic tile set flat, cut clean around the toilet and vanity, grouted, and sealed. A sound floor underneath is what keeps new tile from cracking, so we check it first. ### Lighting, Mirrors, and Exhaust Fans New vanity lights and a bathroom fan that actually moves the damp air outside. Anything that needs new wiring goes through a licensed electrician we bring in. ### Toilets, Tubs, and Surrounds A new toilet, a new tub in the same spot, or a fresh surround can be the whole solution for a room that does not need a full gut. It is a good choice when the tub already suits how you live. **Plumbing and wiring inside the remodel** When a drain or a circuit has to change, the work is done by licensed plumbing and electrical trades that we schedule and coordinate. You still deal with one company, one handyman lead, and one written price. ## One Handyman Takes the Room From Demo to Walkthrough A complete bathroom remodel feels big because so many trades crowd into one small room, and every step has to happen in the right order. You should not have to run that schedule yourself, and with us you do not. One of our own handymen carries the whole bathroom renovation, from the demolition to the last coat of paint. When a pipe or a wire has to move, we bring in licensed professionals and keep them on our schedule. You have one handyman lead and one written price from the first visit to the last caulk line. - Floors and halls covered before demo - Framing and old pipes checked while the walls are open - Licensed plumbing and electrical trades coordinated by us - Clean up at the end of every work day - A final walkthrough with you before we call it done > **A recent request:** A homeowner asked for the whole room at once: the tub and shower replaced, plus a new toilet, a new vanity, drywall repair, and new flooring. That is one handyman, one plan, and one price. - [See our remodeling work](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/remodeling) ## A Tired Bathroom Does Not Always Need a Full Gut Plenty of Florida baths are sound underneath and just look worn out. A few new pieces and fresh paint can make a guest bath feel new, and the layout stays where it is. For a small bathroom remodel, that is often the smartest place to spend the money. Bathroom vanity installation is some of the most common bathroom work we do. We set the new vanity level and hook it up to the water lines already there, then test it for leaks. If you already bought the vanity, that is no trouble at all. We will install the one you picked. - Vanities you buy, or ones we help you choose - Mirrors and medicine cabinets hung on solid backing - Vanity lights and exhaust fans swapped out - Bathroom tile installation on floors and walls - Paint and trim to finish the room > **A recent request:** A condo owner wanted to know what it would take to replace the vanities in three bathrooms, using vanities the owner would buy. That is a good fit for one visit, bathroom by bathroom. - [Only the tile needs help?](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/tile-grout-repair) ## A Shower Rebuilt to Stay Dry Behind the Tile Grout is not waterproof, and that surprises a lot of people. What keeps water out of your walls is the layer behind the tile. When an old shower leaks, has loose tile, or shows a soft spot, that hidden layer has usually failed. In a shower remodel we take it down to the studs and replace any bad backer or framing. Then the whole wall gets waterproofed before the first tile goes up. The parts you will see every day are planned with you, including slip resistant floor tile for safety. We would be glad to help you select each one. - Old tile and backer removed down to the studs - Rotted framing replaced before anything closes up - Waterproofing at every seam, corner, and niche - Niches and glass planned with you - Floor tile that grips when it is wet - [Trading the tub for a shower?](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/tub-to-shower-conversion) ## How a Bathroom Remodel Runs With Us Four trades share the smallest room in the house, so the order of the work is the job. Here is how yours goes. 1. **Walk the room and write the scope** We measure the room and listen to what you want changed. The layout and every material choice get settled up front. Take your time here, so nobody picks materials in a rush later. Everything lands in one written scope with one price. 2. **Order early** Materials get ordered before demo starts, because one backordered faucet can stall a whole bathroom. If you are buying some pieces yourself, just tell us which ones. Keep in mind that the tile you love may need a little time to arrive. 3. **Demo, and a look at what the walls were hiding** The old room comes out, down to the studs where the scope calls for it. We check the framing and the pipes while the walls are open. Anything unexpected is shown to you and priced in writing before we touch it. 4. **Trades, then waterproofing** Plumbing and electrical changes happen while the walls are open, done by licensed trades we schedule for you. Then moisture-rated backer and waterproofing go on every wet wall. 5. **Tile, fixtures, and finish** Tile goes up first, and the fixtures follow. Shower glass is measured off the finished tile, so it fits the opening that is really there. Grout gets sealed and the walls get painted. 6. **Walk it together** You walk the room with the handyman lead before we call it done. Whatever you catch goes on the list, and the list gets closed. ## What Moves a Bathroom Remodel Estimate Bathroom remodel cost depends on the room you have and the room you want. These are the things that move the number most. - **How much of the room changes** A new vanity and light in the same spot is a very different job from gutting the room to the studs. We will price the version you asked for, and tell you honestly if a smaller job would get you most of the way. - **Whether the plumbing moves** Keeping the fixtures in the same location keeps the project simpler and the cost down. Moving any of them is possible. It is the biggest single change in this room, so we will price both versions if you are torn. - **The tile and how it is laid** Large tile covers a wall quickly. Small mosaics and patterns take more cuts and more hours. The shape of the room matters too. None of them is wrong, and we will show you where the extra labor is worth it. - **What is behind the old tile** Old leaks and past patch jobs hide behind tile in older Florida homes. If demo finds one, we show you, explain the fix, and price it in writing before we go on. Nothing gets buried behind the new work. - **Condo rules and access** Condos and townhomes often have rules on work hours and water shutoffs. Share them at the estimate visit, and we will plan the work around them from the start. ## Florida humidity decides how a bathroom ages Florida air is damp before anyone turns on the shower, and in our experience that decides the quality of a bathroom remodeling job more than the tile does. Steam that would clear out of a northern bathroom hangs around here, so ventilation is not an extra on our jobs. A bathroom fan should push the damp air outdoors, not just into the attic. Run it through the shower and for a while after, and the paint and grout will thank you. The details you cannot see matter just as much. We put moisture-rated backer behind wet walls and seal every joint where tile meets tub or floor, so water has nowhere to sit. Skip those steps in this climate, and the bathroom shows it before long. Ours are built for the air they live in. ## What Customers Say > "Dream team! On top of doing a great job on our bathroom remodel, they were very responsive, organized, and detailed.

It holds Florida contractor licenses CRC1336072 and CBC1258366, puts one price in writing before demo, and backs the work with a one year warranty.

Call 800-931-1106 for a free estimate. ### Do I need a licensed contractor for a bathroom remodel in Florida? For a full remodel, yes, and the license protects you. Ask any bathroom remodeling contractors you are comparing for a license number and an itemized quote. Ours are CRC1336072 and CBC1258366. A license is the paper trail you want behind the tile if a question ever comes up. ### How much does a bathroom remodel cost? It depends mostly on how much of the room changes and whether the plumbing moves. Your tile and fixture picks matter too. We walk the room, write one price for the whole scope, and that price holds through the job. The quote you approve is the bill you get. If demo turns up hidden damage, we show you and price the fix in writing before we go on. ### Can you install a vanity I already bought? Yes, and many customers do it that way. Keep it in the box until install day, and tell us the size when you ask for the estimate. We set it level, connect it to your water lines, seal it to the wall, and haul away the old one. Several bathrooms can be done on one visit. ### Do you remodel condo bathrooms? Yes. We work in condos and townhomes all over Florida, and we are used to association rules on work hours and elevator use. Bring those rules to the estimate visit, and we will plan the work around them. ### What if you find damage behind the tile? Older Florida bathrooms often hide an old leak or a patch job behind the tile. If we find one, we stop and show you. You get the fix explained and priced in writing, and nothing goes forward until you say so. ### Can we live in the house during the remodel? Almost everyone does. The bathroom we are working on is out of service, and we keep the work area closed off and cleaned up each day, so the rest of the house stays happy and livable. If it is the only bathroom in the house, tell us up front, and we will plan the order of the work around that. ## Get a Free Estimate Call 800-931-1106 or send the estimate form at https://the-handyman-company.com/#free-estimate.
