Why Penhallow Remodeling Orlando Is Hunters Creek’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Hunters Creek homeowners call us because we put the price and the guarantee in writing before a single tile is pulled. That matters here. The community’s Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial Revival homes, many built between 1988 and 2005, present renovation challenges that a contractor working mostly in newer neighborhoods rarely sees. We understand the concrete block walls, the stucco finishes, and the clay tile roofs that complicate everything from vent pipe routing to shower enclosure framing.
Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with a defined window, not a vague “sometime this week.” Trevor Nash leads each Hunters Creek project personally, from the first measurement to the final inspection sign-off. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so when you call on a Sunday evening to ask about a tile order delay, you reach a human being. Part of the Kingswell family of companies operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004, every Penhallow location is independently owned and operated.
We also understand what the local building department in unincorporated Orange County actually enforces. That knowledge saves Hunters Creek homeowners from the expensive mistake of hiring a contractor who skips permits, then leaves you with work that can’t pass an insurance inspection after the next hurricane season.
Styles & brands we work with
One Day Bath Remodel in Hunters Creek
Our One Day Bath Remodel is the right fit for Hunters Creek homeowners who want a functional, attractive bathroom refresh without tearing out walls or moving plumbing. We replace the tub or shower base, install a new acrylic or composite surround, upgrade the vanity and fixtures, and handle the caulking and trim, all completed within a single workday in most Hunters Creek homes. It’s popular in the Osprey Lakes and Gator Creek sections where original 1990s bathrooms are still in daily use but showing their age.
Cost for a One Day Bath Remodel in Hunters Creek typically falls between $4,500 and $12,000 depending on the shower system, fixture line, and whether we’re doing a direct tub replacement or converting to a low-threshold shower. We use Kohler and Moen fixtures by default, and the surface materials carry manufacturer warranties that run alongside our written 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Fast Turnaround Without Cutting Corners
Speed doesn’t mean skipping the waterproofing layer. Even in a one-day job, we apply moisture-resistant backer board and a paintable membrane like RedGard behind the surround. Hunters Creek’s humidity and afternoon thunderstorms make that step non-negotiable.
When a One Day Remodel Isn’t Enough
If your existing subfloor has water damage, or you’re relocating a drain line, a one-day system won’t hold. We’ll tell you that honestly during the estimate and quote the fuller remodel instead.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Hunters Creek
As a full-service Bathroom Remodeling Contractor working throughout Hunters Creek, we handle jobs that go far deeper than a surface refresh. Moving vanities, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, adding a freestanding tub, replacing rotted subfloor, or re-framing for a larger window all fall under our full remodel scope. These projects in Hunters Creek typically run $9,000 – $28,000, with the final number driven by cabinet line, countertop material, tile selection, and whether structural changes are required.
Many Hunters Creek homes built before 1995 have load-bearing walls and concrete block construction that demand careful planning when we change the footprint of a bathroom. Our crew has the general contractor licensing to pull permits in Orange County and schedule the inspections that keep your project legal and insurable.
Structural Repairs and Wind-Load Compliance
Second-story bathrooms in Hunters Creek face real uplift forces during hurricane season. When we enlarge a window opening or remove a wall, we install engineered headers and straps that meet current Florida wind-load codes. A cheap contractor skips this. So does the homeowner who signs off on unpermitted work. We document everything.
Custom Tile, Glass, and Cabinet Work
From frameless glass shower enclosures to Cambria or Silestone countertops, our material sourcing runs through recognized trade brands so the guarantees behind the work are as solid as the promise itself.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hunters Creek
We install and service the brands Hunters Creek homeowners already trust. That includes KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. For shower enclosures and glass work, we work with Mr-Glass and ViewLux products, and when a bathroom remodel expands into exterior work, Therma-Tru doors hold up beautifully to Florida’s heat and humidity. Keeping local parts availability matters in Hunters Creek, especially during hurricane season when some distributors run thin on custom orders.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Hunters Creek Homes
- Rotted subfloor under original 1990s bathrooms. Homes in the older sections of Hunters Creek, including Montpelier Village, frequently have hidden water damage from past roof leaks or failed shower pans. We replace OSB with pressure-treated plywood and sister any compromised joists before setting tile.
- Mold behind standard drywall. Florida humidity plus daily shower steam means green board alone won’t survive. We pair moisture-resistant board with a waterproof membrane or cement board substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile, on every Hunters Creek shower.
- Cracked grout and failed shower pans. Concrete block homes settle, and original 1990s pans often crack along the curb. A walk-in shower installation with a properly sloped mortar bed and pan liner solves it permanently.
- Exhaust fans vented into the attic instead of outside. We see this across Hunters Creek, and it quietly rots roof decking. We route vents through clay tile roofs carefully, matching custom barrel tile profiles so the patch doesn’t leak.

The Wind-Load Reality Every Hunters Creek Bathroom Remodel Must Face
Here’s something a generic Orlando remodeler won’t flag. Hunters Creek’s second-story exterior walls are subject to Florida’s wind-load requirements, which govern how windows, headers, and wall framing resist hurricane uplift. If you’re enlarging a bathroom window or removing a load-bearing wall for a larger shower, the structural changes need engineered headers, hurricane straps, and a city inspection. Skip those steps and you may have a beautiful bathroom with hidden framing that fails an insurance claim after the next storm.
This is the page’s real information. Hunters Creek isn’t Lake Nona or Dr. Phillips. The housing stock is older, the tile roofs are custom-profile, and the wind exposure is real. A compliant quote includes permit fees, structural engineering review when needed, and documentation your insurer can actually accept. A cheap quote omits those line items, and the savings disappear the first time your claim is denied for unpermitted work.
Trevor Nash walks Hunters Creek homeowners through this at the estimate. We show you what the code requires for your specific block and stucco home, which products meet it, and how the inspection schedule works. The goal isn’t to scare you. It’s to make sure the bathroom we build together is covered when you need it to be.
Why Clay Tile Roofs Change Your Bathroom Remodel Timeline
Hunters Creek homes built before 1995 with original clay tile roofs often need bathroom remodels coordinated with roof repair or replacement. The barrel tile profile and matching color must be custom-ordered, which can delay interior work by weeks, something newer neighboring communities like Lake Nona rarely face. If your shower needs a new exhaust fan vent, or you’re adding a skylight above a freestanding tub, the roof patch has to match the original clay profile exactly. A sloppy patch leaks, and that leak ends up in your new bathroom ceiling.
In the Montpelier Village section of Hunters Creek, we remodeled a 1992 Mediterranean-style bathroom where the client wanted a freestanding tub and a larger walk-in shower. We discovered the subfloor had rotted from a previous roof leak around the clay tiles. After we replaced the OSB subfloor with pressure-treated plywood and sistered two load-bearing joists, we installed a Kohler Archer tub and a Moen U by Moen digital shower system, then handled the permit inspection sign-off for the structural changes. These are the stories you get when a local contractor knows this community’s specific homes.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Hunters Creek
If you’re replacing a tub or shower with a similar footprint and not moving plumbing, the job is usually classified as a direct replacement and may not need a permit in unincorporated Orange County. But the moment we move a drain line, alter a load-bearing wall, or change the window opening, a permit is required. We’ll tell you during the estimate exactly what applies to your project. Call (850) 427-6454 for clarity specific to your Hunters Creek home.
Any new or enlarged window on a second-story exterior wall in Hunters Creek must meet Florida’s current wind-load requirements for the county’s wind speed zone, and the specific rating depends on the window’s size, height, and exposure. We specify impact-rated or high-design-pressure windows and frame the rough opening with hurricane straps and a proper header. The inspection record documents compliance for your insurer. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll explain what your specific wall needs.
Often, yes. The existing vent pipe generally stays in place during a tub-to-shower conversion, and we can connect the new shower’s exhaust fan to the existing roof penetration. But if the vent flashing or surrounding clay tiles are already failing, a patch is recommended to prevent leaks. We coordinate the roof patch with your bathroom timeline so custom barrel tile orders don’t stall the project. A free estimate will clarify your situation.
A permitted remodel with passed inspections creates a record your insurer can verify, which supports a claim rather than complicating it. Unpermitted structural work can void coverage for related damage, especially after a hurricane. Some insurers offer premium adjustments for documented updates to plumbing and electrical systems. We provide the permit documents and inspection sign-offs your agent will ask for. Call (850) 427-6454 to discuss how this applies to your Hunters Creek policy.
A compliant quote includes the permit fee, structural engineering review if load-bearing walls change, wind-rated window and header specifications, moisture-resistant board with waterproof membrane, and an inspection schedule with sign-off documentation. A cheap quote quietly drops those line items, and the cost of fixing unpermitted or non-compliant work later runs thousands more than the original savings. We write every line item down before work starts. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free written estimate.
