Bathroom remodeling in Plantation, FL is different from most of Broward County — and in our experience remodeling Plantation homes since 1999, the reason is the housing stock. Jacaranda and Central Park are two of Broward's most intact 1970s and 1980s subdivisions. The homes are well-built, well-located, and sitting on tree-canopied streets a few minutes from I-595 — but a large share of them are carrying the original bathrooms, untouched for 40 to 50 years.

What that means for a remodel: cast-iron drain lines that have silted to a fraction of their original capacity, galvanized supply pipes with restricted flow and potential pinhole leaks, mortar-bed shower pans retaining decades of moisture, and bathroom layouts designed around 1970s plumbing fixtures that no longer meet current code. We have opened walls in Jacaranda three-twos and found all four of those issues in the same bathroom. None of them are deal-breakers — but a contractor who doesn't know to look for them will give you a low bid and an expensive mid-project revision.

We give every Plantation homeowner a line-item estimate with a contingency built in for exactly the surprises this era of construction produces. Our project managers have walked enough Plantation bathrooms to know what is likely behind the wall before we open it — and our quotes reflect that honesty. To book a free in-home estimate, call us at (754) 354-5443 Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.

Why Plantation homeowners choose Speedy Remodeling

We know what's behind Plantation walls

In our experience remodeling Plantation homes built between 1970 and 1988, roughly 6 in 10 jobs expose a cast-iron drain segment, a galvanized supply run, or a mortar-bed pan that needs to come out. We price that contingency honestly at the estimate — so the number you sign is the number you pay, even when the wall opens on something unexpected.

Neighborhood-by-neighborhood knowledge

Jacaranda and Central Park are dense 1970s-80s subdivisions with compact bathroom footprints, original single-handle valves, and three-fixture layouts. Plantation Acres estates run larger — sometimes with original master baths that span 80 square feet and haven't been touched since the house was built. The scope, timeline, and budget look different between those two zones, and we treat them that way.

Permitted through City of Plantation Building Department

Every Plantation bathroom remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural elements is pulled on permit through the City of Plantation Building Department. We handle the drawings, submittal, and inspections. Florida insurance carriers require permitted work, and your resale value depends on it — especially as Plantation's 1970s-80s stock enters a heavy transaction cycle as owners downsize or sell.

What our Plantation bathroom remodeling covers

Our bathroom remodel scope in Plantation is built around what this city's housing stock actually needs. The most common project we see is a full gut renovation of an original 1970s or 1980s bathroom — demo of the old mortar-bed shower or tub surround, re-plumbing the drain and supply in PEX or CPVC, new cement board and waterproofing, tile, a modern vanity, and updated lighting and ventilation. Beyond that, our Plantation bathroom remodeling work includes:

Most Plantation homeowners we work with invest between $9,500 and $42,000 depending on scope, with projects completing in 2 to 4 weeks. A cosmetic refresh in a Jacaranda three-two lands closer to the lower end. A full gut with re-plumbing and a floor-plan change in a Plantation Acres estate lands at the upper end. We give you a real number — not a range — after the in-home estimate.

Plantation's 1970s-80s bathrooms: what makes them a different remodel

Plantation is one of Broward County's most distinctive remodel markets specifically because of when it was built. The Jacaranda and Central Park subdivisions were developed in dense phases from the early 1970s through the late 1980s — creating a large concentration of homes whose original bathrooms are now between 40 and 55 years old. That matters for a remodel in ways that a newer construction city like Weston simply doesn't produce.

What we find in Plantation's 1970s-80s bathrooms, based on our project history:
  • Cast-iron drain lines with decades of scale and silt buildup — often partially blocked, causing slow drains that mask a bigger issue
  • Galvanized steel supply pipes that have narrowed internally to 30–50% of original diameter, reducing water pressure and posing leak risk
  • Mortar-bed shower pans (the pre-1990s standard) that hold moisture against the sub-floor and sometimes harbor mold behind the tile that looks fine from the surface
  • Single-circuit bathroom wiring that doesn't meet current NEC requirements for GFCI protection and dedicated circuits for vanity lighting
  • Original 3.5-gallon toilets and single-handle valves that are not compatible with modern cartridge repairs

None of these issues mean the bathroom can't be remodeled cleanly — they just mean the estimate needs to account for them rather than discover them at demo. In our experience, the Plantation homeowners who get surprised mid-project are the ones whose contractor walked the bathroom for 20 minutes and handed them a quote based on finishes alone. We spend 45 to 60 minutes on the initial estimate walk, ask about water pressure and drain speed before the first tile is touched, and build a scope that reflects what we are actually going to find.

Plantation Acres runs in a different direction. The Acres is characterized by large-lot estate homes — many with original master baths that span 70 to 100 square feet, with adjacent dressing rooms or closets that have never been incorporated into the bath. These homeowners are often looking for a full master suite transformation: a double vanity, a freestanding soaking tub, a frameless glass walk-in shower, and heated floors — not just a tile replacement. We handle both ends of the Plantation spectrum, and the estimate conversation looks completely different depending on which part of the city you're in.

The four projects below represent the range we see most often: a full gut renovation in a 1978 Jacaranda three-two, a master bath transformation in Central Park, a large-footprint estate bath in Plantation Acres, and an accessibility retrofit in Country Club Estates. Timelines ranged from 12 to 26 working days. Budgets ranged from $11,400 to $38,500. In each case the homeowner received a line-item estimate before demo day, and the final invoice matched the signed contract number — no mid-project revisions, no change-order surprises.

Other remodeling services in Plantation

We are a full-service Broward County remodeler. Most Plantation homeowners who hire us for the bathroom end up bundling the kitchen or a full whole-home remodel — the 1970s and 1980s housing stock that produces dated bathrooms produces dated kitchens in exactly the same proportion, and bundling the two typically saves 15–25% versus running them as separate projects. The logic is straightforward: our crew and project manager are already on site, the permit is already open, and the materials order is already placed. Adding a galley kitchen conversion or a flooring replacement to an open bathroom scope costs a fraction of what it would as a standalone job scheduled months later. For Jacaranda and Central Park homeowners who have been putting off both rooms, the bundled approach is almost always the smarter financial decision — and the result is a home that feels completely updated rather than half-updated.

Frequently asked questions — Bathroom Remodeling in Plantation

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Plantation, FL?

Most Plantation bathroom remodels we complete run between $9,500 and $42,000. A cosmetic refresh in a Jacaranda three-two — new tile, vanity, fixtures, and a tub surround — typically lands in the $9,500–$16,000 range. A full gut renovation with a tub-to-shower conversion, new plumbing rough-in, and floor-plan change in a Plantation Acres estate runs $22,000–$42,000. Every homeowner gets a line-item estimate, not a ballpark, so you see exactly where the budget goes.

Why do Plantation's 1970s and 1980s bathrooms need special attention?

Homes built in Jacaranda and Central Park between 1970 and 1988 routinely have cast-iron drain lines that have silted up over 40-plus years, galvanized supply pipes with restricted flow, and bathroom layouts designed around fixtures that no longer meet current plumbing code. In our experience remodeling Plantation homes from that era, roughly 6 in 10 jobs reveal a surprise once the wall is opened — outdated electrical in the vanity circuit, a slow drain hiding a partial cast-iron failure, or mortar-bed shower floors retaining moisture for decades. We price that contingency into the estimate up front so the number doesn't change at demo.

How long does a bathroom remodel take in Plantation?

Most Plantation bathroom remodels finish in 2 to 4 weeks from demo day to final walkthrough. Projects in older Plantation Acres homes — large footprints with more plumbing runs — sometimes take a few extra days when we hit an unexpected cast-iron segment or an original tile mortar bed. We schedule that buffer in at the start so your project doesn't stall mid-tile.

Do you pull permits for bathroom remodels in Plantation?

Yes. Every Plantation bathroom remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural elements is permitted through the City of Plantation Building Department. We prepare the drawings, handle submittal, and attend every inspection — you never have to take time off to meet an inspector. Permitted work is required by Florida insurance carriers and protects your resale value.

What neighborhoods in Plantation do you serve most often?

We work across all of Plantation's ZIP codes — 33317, 33322, 33324, 33325, and 33388. Our most active neighborhoods for bathroom remodeling are Jacaranda, Central Park, Plantation Acres, Country Club Estates, and Plantation Isles. Each neighborhood has its own housing era and construction style, and we tailor the scope to match.

Can you handle the plumbing surprises common in older Plantation homes?

Yes — and in Plantation's 1970s-80s stock, plumbing surprises are the norm, not the exception. We carry licensed plumbing subcontractors on every job and have the contingency language in our contracts so that a cast-iron drain segment or a galvanized re-pipe does not become a separate surprise invoice. We identify the risk zone during the estimate walk and budget for it honestly.
