Margate is one of the oldest planned cities in Broward County, and that age is exactly what drives demand for bathroom remodeling in Margate, FL. The city was largely built out between the mid-1960s and the late 1970s — single-story concrete-block homes laid out across neighborhoods like Paradise Gardens, Oriole Golf, Margate Oaks, and Lakewood. Most of those homes were finished with a single bathroom: a 5-foot tub alcove, a pedestal or early cultured-marble vanity, and ceramic tile that was neutral in 1968 and is dated today.
Since 1999, Speedy Remodeling Company has been remodeling bathrooms all across Broward County, and Margate represents one of our most active zip codes. In our experience remodeling Margate homes, the single-bathroom constraint is the defining challenge here — and also the biggest opportunity. When you update that one bath correctly, you add genuine usable value to the home, not just cosmetics. We can modernize the existing footprint, convert the tub alcove to a walk-in shower, or — on properties where the layout allows it — add a second bath from scratch.
Our project managers are licensed Broward County general contractors. We pull every permit through the City of Margate Building Division, carry full liability and workers' compensation coverage, and assign a single project manager from your estimate call to the final walkthrough. Call us at (754) 354-5443 Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.
Margate's original planned-community homes were built fast, and original construction often means cast-iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, and non-standard 14-inch stud bays behind the tile. In our experience remodeling Margate bathrooms across Paradise Gardens, Oriole Golf, and Margate Oaks, we find these conditions routinely. We price for them upfront so your estimate doesn't balloon when demo day reveals what's inside the walls.
We hold open appointment blocks specifically for Broward County homeowners. Margate's ZIP codes — 33063, 33065, 33068, and surrounding — are in our regular rotation. Call before noon and a project manager is typically at your door within the same business week, measuring the space and writing a line-item quote.
Many contractors in Broward focus on high-end whole-home renovations in Weston or Coral Springs. Margate is a different market: homeowners here want a genuinely updated bathroom at a fair price — not a showroom build. We have completed more than 47 bathroom remodel projects in Margate in recent years, and we know how to maximize results on a realistic budget without cutting corners on permits or materials.
Our bathroom remodel scope in Margate is broad because the city's housing stock demands it. We handle everything from cosmetic refreshes to full structural reconfiguration under a single contract and a single permit application.
Most Margate bathroom projects we complete fall between $8,500 and $34,000 depending on scope, and we finish in 2 to 4 weeks from demo day. When we find cast-iron drain lines or galvanized supply pipes — common in Margate's older homes — we document it on day one and give you a change-order decision before we proceed, not a surprise invoice at the end.
Margate holds a specific place in Broward's remodel market that's worth understanding before you hire a contractor. As one of the oldest planned cities in Broward County, Margate was designed in the 1960s as an affordable, family-oriented alternative to the higher-priced coastal cities. The result: thousands of single-story, 3-bedroom, 1-bath concrete block homes that are now 50 to 60 years old.
These homes represent a real value-remodel opportunity. The bones are solid — poured concrete block with flat or low-slope roofs, generous lot sizes by Broward standards, and well-established neighborhoods with mature landscaping. But the interiors are stuck in 1968: original pink or harvest-gold tile, tub alcoves with no seat or grab bar, vanities with cultured-marble tops, and bathroom doors that open into the toilet. That last detail — the inward-swinging door that collides with the toilet — shows up in roughly 6 out of 10 Margate bathrooms we walk through for the first time.
In our experience remodeling Margate homes across Paradise Gardens, Oriole Golf, Lakewood, and Holiday Springs, the most transformative projects are the ones that do three things at once: convert the tub to a walk-in shower (reclaiming about 12 square feet of usable space), swing the door to open outward or replace it with a barn door, and install a floating double vanity where the old single vanity sat. Those three moves — achievable in most Margate bathrooms without moving a single wall — turn a 1968 bathroom into something that reads contemporary and functions better for the people living in it today.
For homeowners who want to go further, we have added second baths in former laundry rooms, converted a closet off a master bedroom into a half-bath, and reconfigured a galley hallway to gain enough square footage for a proper master bath suite. Each of these requires a permit — the City of Margate Building Division reviews the plumbing and electrical drawings — and we handle all of that paperwork ourselves.

We are a full-service Broward County remodeler. Most Margate homeowners who start with a bathroom remodel bundle a kitchen update at the same time — it saves roughly 15–20% compared to doing them as separate projects, and it avoids a second round of permits and construction disruption.
Most Margate bathroom remodels we complete fall between $8,500 and $34,000. The wide range reflects the reality of this market: Margate's 1960s-70s homes often have a single, compact bathroom — so a cosmetic refresh (new tile, vanity, fixtures) costs considerably less than a full gut that moves the toilet, expands the footprint, or converts an original tub alcove into a walk-in shower. We give every Margate homeowner a line-item written estimate before any work begins, so you know exactly where the money goes.
Typical timeline is 2 to 4 weeks from demo day to final walkthrough. Margate's older planned-community homes — especially in Paradise Gardens and Margate Oaks — can hide cast-iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, and non-standard stud bays behind the original tile. In our experience remodeling Margate homes since 1999, we build a 2-to-3-day contingency into every estimate for these discoveries so the project does not stall when they show up.
Yes — every Margate project that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural elements is permitted through the City of Margate Building Division. We prepare the drawings, handle submittal, and manage every inspection. Permitted work protects your investment when you sell, refinance, or file an insurance claim.
Yes, and this is one of the most common requests we get in Margate. Many of the city's original 1960s-70s homes were built with a single bathroom for the whole house. We can convert a closet, a portion of a laundry room, or an underused corner of a master bedroom into a half-bath or full second bath. We handle the permit, the plumbing rough-in, and the finish all under one contract, typically for $12,000 to $22,000 depending on location and scope.
The tub-to-walk-in-shower conversion is by far the most requested upgrade in Margate. Most of the original tub alcoves are narrow 5-foot units that are difficult to use as people age. We remove the tub, install a curbless or low-curb walk-in shower with a built-in bench, and add grab bars — all in the same footprint, no wall moves required. The result is a bathroom that feels twice as large and is significantly safer for older adults.
Yes. Holiday Springs and similar condo associations in Margate have association rules about scope, licensed contractors, and hours of work. We are familiar with those requirements — we provide the license and insurance certificate the association needs, schedule demo and tile work during approved hours, and coordinate access with property management so the project moves without triggering a violation. We have completed condo bathroom remodels in Holiday Springs and can provide references from those buildings.
