Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Orlando
A full bathroom remodel in Orlando typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, and the number that matters more is the one you’re handed before demo starts. We put that number in writing, along with a 365-Day Done Right Promise that says if something fails inside the guarantee window, we return and fix it at no charge. Trevor Nash and the General Contractor in Orlando crew work from a simple operating rule: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, and leave the place cleaner than we found it.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Orlando Is Orlando’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Orlando homeowners have been burned before. A contractor who never returned after demo day. A verbal estimate that doubled once the walls were open. A shower pan that cracked six weeks after the “finished” walkthrough. We hear these stories every week, and we built our process to be the opposite of that.
Every Penhallow project starts with a written price before any work begins, not a range, not a ballpark. The number on day one is the number on the invoice. Then a background-checked, uniformed technician arrives at the window we agreed on, and the job gets done under the Kingswell standard: a written guarantee on every project, a clean job site daily, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that means if it’s not done right, we make it right. If a repair fails, the second visit is free, no service call, no re-inspection fee. A real person answers our phone 24/7, including the day your bathroom is torn apart and you have a question.
We know Orlando’s housing stock because we work in it daily. Concrete block and stucco exteriors, slab-on-grade foundations, wood truss roofs, high humidity inside every wall cavity. That local knowledge shapes every Bathroom Remodeling quote we write.

Bathroom Renovation in Orlando
Bathroom Renovation in Orlando means something different than it does in a dry, mild climate. Here, the job involves pulling permits through the city’s building department, scheduling inspections for every rough-in phase, and selecting materials that survive decades of subtropical humidity. When a homeowner in College Park or Conway calls us about a renovation, they’re usually dealing with one of three things: a failing original tub surround from the 1980s, a floor that’s spongy near the toilet flange, or a layout that wastes space in a 5×8 footprint.
A full renovation in Orlando runs $9,000 – $28,000, depending on scope, fixture grade, and whether you’re moving plumbing or keeping the existing rough-in. Here’s what you’re paying for.
Wet Area Scope
We strip the shower or tub area to the studs, address any moisture damage behind the walls, install a vapor-retarding membrane over cement board substrate, and rebuild with products rated for Florida’s humidity. This is where cheap quotes fall apart in Orlando. Skip the membrane and you’ll see black mold staining within two summers. We don’t skip it.
Permits and the Inspection Trail
Every renovation gets pulled through Orange County’s permit system, and every rough-in gets inspected before we close walls. The permit record is yours to keep, and it matters later. More on that below.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Orlando
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Orlando typically runs $5,000 – $12,000, and it’s the most common project we take on in neighborhoods like Delaney Park, Thornton Park, and Baldwin Park. These are guest baths, hall baths, and 5×7 second baths in 1970s – 2000s tract homes where the tile is dated, the vanity has swollen from humidity, and the original tub is stained beyond saving.
The scope is tighter than a full renovation. You’re keeping the same footprint, usually the same plumbing rough-in, and focusing on the vanity, toilet, tub or shower surround, flooring, and fixtures. But the same building code requirements apply, and we don’t cut corners on waterproofing just because the room is small.
What Gets Replaced
Vanity and countertop, toilet, tub or shower surround, floor tile, exhaust fan, lighting, and paint. We’ll spec a Kohler or Moen valve, a Cambria or Silestone top if you want stone, and moisture-resistant drywall that can handle Orlando’s humidity.
Common Scope Decisions
The biggest decision in these compact Orlando baths is whether to convert the tub to a walk-in shower. That changes the price and the permit requirements, so we walk you through both options on the same written quote.
Trusted Brands We Service in Orlando
We install Certainteed service in Orlando products and other lines that carry their own warranties layered on top of ours. For cabinetry and vanities, we spec KraftMaid and Wellborn. For countertop surfaces, we use Cambria quartz and Silestone, both of which hold up to Orlando’s hard water and humidity far better than laminate or natural stone with open pores. Every Kohler and Moen fixture we quote carries a manufacturer’s warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We order directly for Orlando projects and schedule installation around delivery so you’re not waiting weeks with a gutted bathroom.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Orlando Homes
- Mold behind tub surrounds. Orlando’s high water table and summer humidity mean any tile surround without a vapor-retarding membrane behind the cement board will trap moisture. We’ve opened 1980s concrete-block baths in Conway and found furring strips so rotted they could be pulled apart by hand.
- Unpermitted additions with outdated electrical. Older wood-frame homes in College Park and Delaney Park often have a second bath tacked on without permits. Adding a code-required GFCI circuit to a Zinsco or Federal Pacific subpanel can trip the old panel, and unpermitted work hides that hazard until a claim is denied.
- Failed shower pans on slab floors. In slab-on-grade Orlando homes, a cracked or improperly sloped shower pan doesn’t just leak into a crawl space. It pools moisture under the floor and wicks up into the walls. By the time you see grout staining, the damage behind the tile is months old.
- Non-compliant bathroom windows. If your remodel includes replacing or enlarging a bathroom window, it has to meet Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards. Cheaper quotes that skip the impact-rated glass or shutter will fail the framing inspection, forcing a change order with the walls already open.

What moves the number on an Orlando bath remodel? Keeping the existing plumbing rough-in saves thousands. Moving a drain line across a slab floor adds coring, concrete patch, and another inspection. Fixture grade matters too, a Kohler Bellwether cast-iron tub costs more than a basic acrylic, but it’s rated for decades in humid air. Every quote we write is line-itemed so you see exactly where the money goes. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free, written estimate.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Orlando
Only if you’re enlarging, replacing, or relocating a bathroom window. In that case, yes, the new opening must meet HVHZ wind-load standards, which means impact-rated glass or an approved shutter. We include that in our written quote up front so you never find out on inspection day. Call (850) 427-6454 for a quote that already accounts for code compliance.
Any roof penetration added or replaced during your remodel must be fastened to meet the Florida Building Code’s wind-load requirements for Orlando’s hurricane exposure zone. The fan housing, vent boot, and flashing all need to be rated for high wind, and the penetration gets inspected as part of your final. We spec compliant vent kits on every scope of work, and the permit record documents it.
A permitted remodel with signed inspections creates a paper trail that documents code compliance. If you ever file a wind or flood claim, that record makes it much harder for the insurer to dispute the bathroom portion of the damage. Unpermitted work can trigger a denied claim. We pull permits on every project and you get copies of every inspection sign-off. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll walk you through what that record looks like.
Yes, you should be. Most 1970s – 2000s Orlando slab homes have a hot-mopped or PVC pan that’s past its useful life, and on a slab there’s no crawl space to reveal a leak. You won’t see the damage until the grout stains or the baseboards swell. If you’re in escrow, we can do a targeted inspection before you close, and if you already own, we’ll quote the replacement. Estimates are free.
No, a like-for-like swap of a vanity, toilet, and flooring does not require a permit in Orlando as long as you’re not moving plumbing, opening walls, or touching electrical. The moment a wall opens or a drain moves, you need a permit. We’ll tell you which category your job falls into before you spend a dollar. Call (850) 427-6454 with your scope and we’ll give you a straight answer.
The Orlando Code Reality: What a Compliant Quote Includes That a Cheap One Leaves Out
Here’s the thing most national remodeling content never tells you. Orlando sits inside a hurricane exposure zone, and the Florida Building Code’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions apply to your bathroom remodel even if you’re only working indoors. If your project touches a window, an exterior wall, a roof penetration, or any structural connection, the work has to meet wind-load standards that a generic contractor from out of the area might not even know about.
We recently gutted a 1984 concrete-block bath in Orlando’s Conway area after a failed tub surround let moisture into the furring strips. Our scope of work specified a Schluter Kerdi waterproof membrane behind new 12×24 porcelain, a Moen U by Moen digital valve, and a Kohler Bellwether cast-iron tub, then we scheduled the rough-in inspection before closing any walls. The permit record and final inspection sign-off give the homeowner a documented upgrade that will simplify any wind or flood claim.
A compliant Orlando bathroom quote includes the HVHZ-rated window or shutter, the waterproofing membrane, the permitted electrical, and the inspection schedule. A cheap quote skips those and then hits you with a change order when the framing inspection fails. We’ve seen it happen, and it’s why we write the code requirements into the price before we ever touch a hammer.
