Oakland Park, FL — Broward County
Licensed general contractor since 1999 — serving mid-century homes in Coral Heights, Royal Palm, Lake Emerald, and Oakland Lakes. Fixed-price quotes, 2–4 week timelines, every permit pulled. Updated June 2026.
Bathroom remodeling oakland-park, FL has a different character than it does in newer Broward suburbs. Oakland Park's housing stock is mostly mid-century — homes built between the 1950s and early 1980s in Coral Heights, Royal Palm, Lake Emerald, and the blocks surrounding the Culinary Arts District on Dixie Highway. As the neighborhood gentrifies, new owners are buying these homes and immediately facing bathrooms that haven't been updated in decades: avocado-green tubs, plastic shower surrounds, galvanized supply pipes, and layouts that made sense in 1968 but not today.
We are Speedy Remodeling Company, a licensed general contractor based in Broward County. Since 1999, we have completed more than 300 bathroom remodeling projects in Oakland Park and the surrounding cities. Our crews know what is behind the walls in a 1970s Coral Heights ranch — cast iron drain lines, non-standard stud spacing, and electrical panels that need a GFCI upgrade before new tile goes in. We price for those realities on day one so your project doesn't stall mid-demo.
Oakland Park's 44,229 residents are spread across ZIPs 33309, 33311, and 33334. No matter which neighborhood your home is in, we hold open same-week estimate appointments specifically for Oakland Park homeowners. Call us at (754) 354-5443 — we answer live Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.
Oakland Park homes built before 1980 routinely have cast iron drain stacks, galvanized supply pipes that corrode from the inside out, and stud spacing that doesn't match today's standard tile backer. In our experience remodeling Oakland Park homes, about 60% of full gut renovations reveal at least one plumbing or framing issue invisible during the estimate walkthrough. We document the likely scenarios upfront and build contingency pricing into the quote — so the number we give you is the number you pay.
Most Oakland Park homeowners we work with have been burned by a contractor who showed up for day one and then vanished. We assign a single Broward-based project manager to your job. They pull the permit with the City of Oakland Park Building Division, coordinate tile and fixture deliveries, supervise every trade, and do the final walkthrough with you. You have one person's direct cell number — not a call center.
We keep open appointment slots specifically for Oakland Park and the surrounding 33309/33311/33334 ZIPs. Call before noon and a project manager is usually at your door within the same week. Every estimate is a line-item document — labor, materials, permit fees, and allowances broken out separately — not a single number on a napkin. If we agree on scope, the price is fixed. No change orders unless you change the scope.
We handle the full scope of bathroom renovation for Oakland Park homes — from cosmetic refreshes to full structural gut-and-rebuilds. Most Oakland Park projects fall into one of these categories:
Demo everything down to studs and subfloor, replace any bad plumbing or electrical, and build a modern bathroom from scratch. This is the most common scope in Coral Heights and Royal Palm, where 50-year-old tile, tubs, and fixtures are all at end of life simultaneously. Typical cost range: $18,000–$42,000. Typical timeline: 3–4 weeks.
Remove an underused tub, reconfigure the drain, waterproof the niche, and install a walk-in shower with frameless glass or a tile-to-ceiling surround. This is the single most-requested Oakland Park job we receive from homeowners over 55 and from new owners who want to maximize their primary bath square footage.
Oakland Park's mid-century homes often have undersized master baths — sometimes as small as 40 square feet. We remove non-load-bearing walls (or sister load-bearing ones) to borrow space from a closet or adjacent room, creating a double-vanity, soaking-tub, and walk-in-shower layout that adds real resale value.
New tile, vanity, toilet, fixtures, lighting, and mirror — no demo required beyond tearing out the old surfaces. Typical cost: $9,500–$15,000. Typical timeline: 10–14 days. A good fit for Oakland Park homes in Lake Emerald or Oakland Lakes where the bones are sound but the finishes are dated.
Grab bars, zero-threshold shower entries, comfort-height toilets, and blocking in walls for future bar installation. Oakland Park's stable long-term homeowner population — many of whom have owned their homes for 20+ years — frequently asks us to age-in-place retrofit a bath rather than do a full remodel.
Half-bath updates are a high-ROI project for Oakland Park homes near Prospect Road that see a lot of guest traffic. New vanity, toilet, tile, lighting, and mirror in 5–7 days for $4,500–$8,500.
Oakland Park occupies an unusual position in Broward County. For decades it was a pass-through city — a grid of modest 1950s–1970s ranches between Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach. That changed when the Culinary Arts District emerged on Dixie Highway, bringing independent restaurants, breweries, and foot traffic that drew younger buyers who could no longer afford Fort Lauderdale's rising prices.
The result is a gentrification wave with a very specific remodeling profile. New owners in Coral Heights and Royal Palm are typically buying homes that haven't been touched since the 1990s — original pink or avocado tubs still in place, single-handle faucets, builder-grade vanities, 4x4 ceramic tile from the Nixon era. In our experience remodeling Oakland Park homes, the median bathroom in these neighborhoods needs a full gut, not a refresh: demo to studs, new cement board, new drain roughed at today's code, and a completely modern finish package.
This is different from newer Broward cities where buyers might want an upgrade from builder grade. Oakland Park buyers are often replacing original builder grade — the first generation, not the second. That means more plumbing surprises, more subfloor repairs, and more electrical upgrades (GFCI outlets weren't required in bathrooms before 1978). We have seen all of it in Oakland Park's 33309, 33311, and 33334 ZIPs, and we price accordingly.
Lake Emerald and the mid-rise condo buildings near Oakland Lakes add a different dimension: HOA approval processes, limited-access building permits, and condo board notification requirements before demolition can begin. We have navigated those processes in Oakland Park buildings before and handle the paperwork as part of our standard scope — not as an add-on.
A sampling of bathroom remodels we have completed across Oakland Park's neighborhoods in 2024 and 2025. Since 1999, our crews have worked on hundreds of Broward County bathrooms, and Oakland Park's mid-century housing stock keeps us especially busy as new buyers invest in the neighborhood. Each project below reflects the specific character of its block — cast iron drains in Coral Heights, condo board coordination at Lake Emerald, and the classic 1960s ranch footprint in Oakland Lakes. When you call us for an estimate, we can match you with a reference homeowner in your own ZIP or neighborhood so you can hear firsthand what working with our crew is like before you sign anything. Ask your project manager for references in your specific ZIP or block.
We are a full-service Broward County remodeler. Oakland Park homeowners who bundle a kitchen or whole-home project with their bathroom remodel typically save 15–25% on combined labor — one permit, one mobilization, one project manager. Mid-century homes in Coral Heights and Royal Palm rarely need just one room updated. The same buyers driving Oakland Park's gentrification wave are usually replacing dated kitchens alongside the bathroom, and often tackling flooring and windows at the same time. When you call us for a bathroom remodeling estimate, we will walk the rest of your home and give you a bundled number so you can decide whether doing it all at once makes financial sense. Most Oakland Park homeowners we work with say it does — finishing two rooms in one crew visit beats the disruption of two separate projects six months apart.
In our experience remodeling Oakland Park homes, most bathroom projects fall between $9,500 and $42,000. The wide range reflects the reality of mid-century housing: a cosmetic refresh of a 1970s Coral Heights bath runs far less than a full gut that reroutes cast iron drains and opens a wall. We hand every Oakland Park homeowner a line-item quote — not a ballpark — before a single tile is touched.
Plan on 2 to 4 weeks for most Oakland Park bathroom remodels. Homes in Royal Palm and Coral Heights often add a few days because of cast iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, and 1960s stud spacing that requires custom framing. We scope for these conditions upfront so the schedule we give you is one we can actually keep.
Yes — every Oakland Park bathroom remodel touching plumbing, electrical, or structural work is permitted through the City of Oakland Park Building Division. We prepare drawings, submit the application, and attend every inspection. Permitted work is required by Florida homeowner insurance policies and protects your resale value in a neighborhood where buyers' agents are now asking to see permits.
That is exactly the work we do most in Oakland Park. Homes built before 1975 in Coral Heights and Royal Palm typically have cast iron drain lines and galvanized or early copper supply pipes. In our experience remodeling Oakland Park homes built before 1975, we find at least one plumbing condition that needs correction before new tile goes in. We price that contingency in on day one rather than surprising you mid-project.
We remodel bathrooms throughout Oakland Park — Coral Heights, Royal Palm, Lake Emerald, Oakland Lakes, and Prospect Road are our most active areas. As Oakland Park gentrifies around the Culinary Arts District on Dixie Highway, we have seen a consistent wave of new owners modernizing dated interiors in these neighborhoods. We are familiar with the housing stock in all three ZIPs: 33309, 33311, and 33334.
Yes, and we recommend it for mid-century homes where multiple systems are due for replacement at the same time. Bundling a kitchen and bath update saves roughly 15 to 25 percent compared with scheduling them separately — one permit, one project manager, one mobilization. We are a full-service Broward County remodeler, not a bathroom-only shop.
Book a free in-home consultation. We measure, scope, and hand you a fixed-price quote — not a ballpark — before we leave. Same-week appointments available for Oakland Park's 33309, 33311, and 33334 ZIPs.
