We know this community well. Bay Hill is not a typical Orlando suburb. The homes are larger, the standards are stricter, and the architectural review committee watches every change that touches a golf-course sightline. We prepare for that reality from day one so your project doesn’t stall midway through Central Florida’s humid summer.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Orlando Is Bay Hill’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Homeowners in Bay Hill call us because we answer. A live person picks up the phone 24/7, and we show up in the window we gave you. Our team has remodeled master baths, guest baths, and pool baths across the community, from estates near the Bay Hill Club & Lodge to homes off Masters Boulevard and along Tibet Butler Drive. Each project has gone through the same architectural review gauntlet, and we file the paperwork ourselves.
Trevor Nash leads our Orlando operation. He’s walked dozens of Bay Hill properties, and he’ll tell you the same thing on every site visit: the written price you get before demo is the number on your final invoice. Not an estimate range. A written number, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s in writing on every project.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who’s walking into your home, and they’ll leave the job site cleaner than they found it. That’s part of how we’ve operated under The Kingswell Way since 2004, and it’s why Bay Hill homeowners keep referring us to their neighbors.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Bay Hill
A Walk In Shower in Bay Hill usually runs $4,500 to $12,000, and the price moves based on whether you’re converting an existing tub, relocating plumbing, or adding custom glass enclosure work. Most of the showers we build here are curbless with frameless glass, because Bay Hill homeowners want a clean sightline that matches the openness of their estates. The architectural review committee generally approves curbless entries and fixed glass panels as long as exterior changes stay muted, so interior shower work rarely triggers pushback.
Frameless Glass and Waterproofing
We install frameless glass shower enclosures that are fabricated to the exact opening after tile work is complete. The glass itself is tempered and available with protective coatings that resist the hard-water spotting common in this part of Orange County. Behind the tile, we use a cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) with liquid-applied waterproofing at all seams and corners. Bay Hill’s humidity demands more than a basic fiberglass pan if you want the shower to last.
Curbless Design for the Master Bath
Most master bath remodels in Bay Hill include a curbless entry because it looks cleaner and future-proofs the home for aging in place. The subfloor has to be lowered or sloped, which adds time and cost, but the result is a seamless transition from the bathroom floor into the shower. We’ve done enough of these to know how the committee views drain placement and floor transitions, so the drawings we submit get approved without revision.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Bay Hill
Choosing among Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Bay Hill comes down to one question: who has actually navigated this community’s rules and still delivered on time? Penhallow Remodeling Orlando has. A full bathroom remodel in Bay Hill runs $9,000 to $28,000, and small bathroom remodels fall between $5,000 and $12,000. We give you a written number before any work starts, not after demo day.
The Architectural Review Advantage
We file your submittal packet with the community’s architectural review committee before any demolition happens. That packet includes material samples, finish schedules, color callouts in earth tones, and elevation drawings if anything exterior is touched. We know what gets approved: muted stone, matte fixtures, and glass that reads neutral from the fairway. Bright reflective tile gets rejected. We’ve seen it happen to homeowners who started with a different contractor, and we tore out the result.
Permits and Inspections
Every bathroom remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural framing gets permitted through Orange County. We pull the permit, schedule the rough-in inspection, and pass it. In Bay Hill, homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often have cast-iron drain lines that need replacing during a remodel, and our lead plumber has handled those swap-outs on more Bay Hill homes than we can count.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bay Hill
We stock and install materials from brands that hold up to Florida’s climate and Bay Hill’s design standards: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry for vanities with soft-close hardware, Cambria quartz for bench tops and vanities, and Kohler fixtures for shower systems and tubs. When a Bay Hill homeowner wants a Cambria quartz shower bench, we order it direct and schedule delivery around the approval timeline so materials aren’t sitting in a garage gathering dust. If something arrives damaged or out of square, our warranty covers the replacement, and we handle the claim.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Bay Hill Homes
- Failed waterproofing behind the tile. Many original bathrooms in 1980s and 1990s Bay Hill estates used green board or plain drywall behind shower tile. In Central Florida’s humidity, that substrate wicks moisture, rots, and crumbles. By the time we open the wall, the studs are often compromised.
- Architectural review denials after the fact. We regularly meet Bay Hill homeowners who started with a contractor that never filed the submittal. The committee issues a stop-work order, and the bathroom sits half-finished with exposed framing pulling in humid air. We take over, file the paperwork, and rebuild properly.
- Floor rot around tubs and curbs. Older homes along Masters Boulevard and Bayview Drive show subfloor rot where tubs met the tile floor without a proper seal. In a slab-on-grade home, the damage is usually contained to the base plate; on a raised foundation, it spreads faster. We replace the framing and subfloor before setting the new shower base.
- Cast-iron drain line failures during remodel. Many Bay Hill estates still have original cast-iron DWV lines under the slab. What starts as a vanity swap turns into a drain line replacement once we open the wall. We quote the entire scope up front and show you the cost before cutting concrete.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Bay Hill
Architectural review in Bay Hill typically adds two to six weeks to a bathroom remodel timeline, depending on whether the project is on a committee consent agenda or requires full review. Interior-only remodels with no exterior modifications usually get expedited, but any change to window placement, venting, or exterior materials goes through the full committee cycle. We file the submittal before demolition and schedule rough work around the approval window so your bathroom isn’t sitting open and humid. Call (850) 427-6454 to discuss your project’s specific timeline.
In most Bay Hill bathroom remodels where nothing about the exterior changes, you do not need full architectural committee approval, though you still need Orange County permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural work. The committee cares about what faces the golf course and the street; an interior shower swap usually stays under their radar. But we verify every time with the community’s current guidelines before we file anything. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific scope triggers.
For Bay Hill’s humid climate, a combination of cement board substrate, liquid-applied waterproofing membrane, and a sloped mortar bed with a bonded drain works best. We avoid fiberglass pans in Bay Hill because the vapor drive during summer rains pushes moisture through them over time. Our standard is a fully sealed system with seam tape at every joint and corner, then a flood test before tile goes in. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through the waterproofing spec on your project.
Yes, you can use custom frameless shower glass in a Mediterranean-style Bay Hill home. The committee cares about exterior sightlines and street-facing materials; interior shower glass is your call. We work with a local fabricator who can cut curves, angles, and custom header profiles for arched openings without compromising the Mediterranian aesthetic. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll show you samples on your site visit.
If a bathroom remodel fails a rough-in inspection in Bay Hill, you’ll receive a correction notice from Orange County, and the permit stays open until the issue is fixed and re-inspected. We’ve never had a Bay Hill rough-in fail on our first pass, but if it happened, we’d fix the issue, reschedule the re-inspection, and absorb the cost of the extra visit under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We don’t pass inspection costs on to you. Call (850) 427-6454 for a written price on a project that gets inspected right the first time.
Planning a bathroom remodel in Bay Hill means navigating a community with stricter standards than most of Central Florida. We’ve done the work: filed the submittals, passed the inspections, and matched the muted, earth-tone palette the committee expects. We recently remodeled a master bath in a 1995 Mediterranean-style estate on Masters Boulevard, where the existing shower had failed waterproofing and rotted the load-bearing wall studs. Our crew pulled permits, replaced the subfloor and rough-in plumbing, then installed a curbless walk-in shower with Kohler fixtures and a Cambria quartz bench, matching the HOA’s approved color palette. The project passed inspection sign-off on the first attempt, and we completed the punch list before the first tee time of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
If you’re ready to see a written number for your Bay Hill bathroom remodel, call (850) 427-6454. Estimates are free, the price is fixed before we start, and everything we do is backed in writing. A live person answers, day or night.
