Why Penhallow Remodeling Orlando Is St. Cloud’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Trevor Nash runs our remodeling operations with one rule: if we wouldn’t put the number in writing, we don’t give the number. St. Cloud homeowners tell us that’s why they call. This city has a particular housing stock, built fast in the 1990s and 2000s, and it shows up in bathrooms in predictable ways. Corroded recessed electrical panels, rotted subfloors behind original tub surrounds, framing that deflects under a new walk-in shower. We know what those look like because we’ve opened them in Anthem Park, Grassy Point, and the older streets near downtown.
Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, with a real arrival window, not a four-hour shrug. And when something changes after demo, we price it in writing before we touch it. That’s the standard we operate under, the Kingswell Way since 2004. You’ll find our full Bathroom Remodeling process documented, but here’s the short version: we inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and a surprise is never a blank check.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in St. Cloud
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in St. Cloud does more than swap tile and vanities. The job starts with opening walls and finding out what the 1990s and 2000s building rush actually left behind. In this city, that often means polybutylene supply lines, missing moisture barriers behind the original tub surround, and framing that wasn’t sized for a modern walk-in shower and glass enclosure. We plan for those before we start, because a St. Cloud permit inspection will flag code deficiencies once walls are open, and it’s cheaper to fix them before the tile goes up than after.
Full bathroom remodels here run $9,000 – $28,000 depending on the size of the room, the waterproofing method, whether you’re replacing a tub with a tile shower, and what the framing inspection turns up. That range is a written number, not a starting bid.
Full Bathroom Remodels
We replace everything in one sequence: demo, framing and plumbing corrections, cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), waterproofing, tile, vanity, fixtures, and trim. A master bath in a St. Cloud 2000s tract home with a separate tub and shower will land near the top of that range; a guest bath near the bottom.
Small Bathroom Remodels
A 5×8 hall bath can be done for $5,000 – $12,000 if the framing is sound and we’re keeping the existing footprint. Moving the toilet drain or the shower valve drives the number up, because that’s permit work and concrete cutting.
Walk In Shower in St. Cloud
A Walk In Shower in St. Cloud solves more than an aging tub. It changes how the room drains, how the walls handle moisture, and how the floor framing carries weight. In fast-built 1990s and 2000s subdivisions around Lake Tohopekaliga, undersized floor joists can deflect under a new tiled shower pan, cracking grout within months. We sister the joists before we set the pan. We don’t skip it. The inspector checks it. The warranty covers it.
Walk-in shower installation in St. Cloud runs $4,500 – $12,000. A curbless floor, a linear drain, or a frameless glass enclosure pushes it higher. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000, and that’s the most common route for the original tub surrounds we see in St. Cloud bathrooms.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
We install frameless tempered glass with proper wall reinforcement inside the framing, so the hinges don’t pull out of drywall anchors. In St. Cloud’s high-humidity months, a poorly set enclosure traps moisture behind the glass channel and feeds mold into the wall.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
We pull the tub, correct the drain slope, waterproof the entire surround to the ceiling, and set a tile pan. The old recessed whirlpool tubs from the 1990s almost always have a hidden leak at the drain boot by now.
Trusted Brands We Service in St. Cloud
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn vanities, and we fabricate shower curbs, benches, and vanity tops in Cambria and Silestone quartz. These materials carry their own manufacturer warranties, which sit alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We order locally where possible, so if a vanity door arrives with a ding or a quartz slab gets chipped during install, the replacement is measured in days, not weeks. St. Cloud homeowners don’t wait on supply-chain excuses.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in St. Cloud Homes
- Corroded recessed exterior electrical panels. St. Cloud’s 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, especially Grassy Point and Anthem Park, often have exterior panels recessed into the stucco. Wind-driven rain off East Lake Tohopekaliga gets behind the siding and rusts the panel and the stud bay behind a bathroom wall. We isolate the circuit, write a change order for relocation, and pull a permit before closing anything up.
- Rotted subfloor under original tub surrounds. The original waterproofing on a 25-year-old tub surround has failed in most of the homes we open. The subfloor below the tub is often black, soft, or gone. We reframe before we tile.
- Undersized floor joists under new walk-in showers. Fast-built subdivisions used 2×8 or 2×10 joists on long spans. A tiled shower pan with glass adds hundreds of pounds concentrated in one spot. We sister the joists to meet the live-load and deflection limits a tile assembly requires.
- Missing or failed moisture barriers behind original tile. Greenboard was used behind shower tile for years in Central Florida tract housing. It soaks water and fails. We strip it to the studs and rebuild with a proper waterproofing membrane before any new tile is set.

What moves the number: moving plumbing, relocating an electrical panel, reframing a rotted subfloor, choosing a curbless shower, and the level of quartz or tile you pick. We build allowances into the contract for known unknowns, like the recessed panel we already suspect exists. Anything we find gets a written change order before we do the work. The number on day one is the number on the invoice, unless you sign a change. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free written estimate.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in St. Cloud
The defect we find most often is a corroded recessed exterior electrical panel or its conduit, rusted from wind-driven rain, and it’s usually sitting within a stud bay that shares a wall with the bathroom. In Anthem Park, we once opened a guest bath to find a corroded panel feeding the bathroom circuit, with rust staining the stud bay behind the tub. We isolated the circuit, wrote a change order to relocate the panel to an interior wall, and pulled a permit so the inspector could verify the new rough-in before we closed the wall. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll check for this during our estimate walk-through.
The most common upgrades are GFCI protection on the bathroom circuit, a dedicated 20-amp circuit for the bathroom outlets if it doesn’t already exist, proper venting from the exhaust fan to the exterior, and moisture-resistant backing behind all wet-area tile. If your home still has a recessed exterior panel corroded by lake-driven rain, the inspector will usually require relocation or re-sealing before the rough-in can pass. We price these items into our estimate as allowances before we ever file the permit.
We run a dehumidifier during any enclosed work, install a proper exhaust fan vented to the exterior (never into the attic), and use waterproofing membranes rated for continuous high-moisture exposure. For waterfront properties on the southern shore of East Lake Tohopekaliga, we also check the exterior stucco and flashing around the bathroom wall for wind-driven rain intrusion before we close anything up. The goal is a room that dries itself out, not one that holds moisture in the wall cavities.
An allowance is a written dollar amount we set aside in the contract for a known likely repair, like reframing a subfloor or relocating a recessed panel. A change order is only written when we find something the allowance didn’t cover. We don’t touch the change until you’ve signed it and approved the price in writing. That system is why St. Cloud homeowners know the final number before we do the work, not after the invoice arrives.
Yes, when the bathroom work requires it and when the panel shows corrosion from wind-driven rain, we write it into a change order, relocate the panel to an interior wall, and pull the permit so the rough-in is inspected before we close the wall. We’ve done exactly this in Anthem Park on a guest bath where the corroded panel was feeding the bathroom circuit. If we don’t find corrosion, we leave the panel alone and document that in your contract.
