Bathroom remodeling in Pembroke Pines often comes down to one of two goals. Some homeowners want a bathroom that is safer and easier to use for the years ahead, with a step-in shower and grab bars that do not look clinical. Others live in a busy family home where the kids’ bathroom takes a beating and the primary bath has not changed since the house was built.
We remodel bathrooms in Pembroke Pines houses, townhomes and condos, from the older homes on the east side of the city to the newer communities out west. We handle the full job, including demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, vanities, glass, lighting and painting, and we keep the rest of the house clean while we work.
A curbless or low curb shower removes the step over a tub wall, which matters more every year for many homeowners. We add blocking inside the walls so grab bars can go exactly where they are needed, now or later, and use slip resistant tile, a built-in bench and a handheld shower on a slide bar. Done well, it simply looks like a good modern bathroom.
Hall bathrooms in many Pembroke Pines homes are compact, with the tub, toilet and vanity lined up along one wall. Small changes make a big difference: a wall hung or narrower vanity, a recessed medicine cabinet, a niche in the shower instead of a caddy, and a glass panel instead of a curtain so the room looks bigger. We plan every inch before demolition starts.
In a house with kids, the bathroom needs finishes that handle splashing, wet towels and daily cleaning. We favor porcelain tile, quartz vanity tops, a tiled tub surround with few grout lines and a quiet exhaust fan that runs long enough to clear the moisture. Most families keep a tub in the kids’ bath, so we focus on making that tub and shower combination easy to clean.
In the larger homes of the western neighborhoods, primary bathrooms tend to have more space to work with. That opens up a bigger walk-in shower, a double vanity with real drawer storage, a separate toilet room or a freestanding tub. Better lighting around the mirror and a quiet fan finish the room. You can read more about how we plan these projects on our main bathroom remodeling page.
Pembroke Pines has a wide mix of homes, and the bathroom you have depends a lot on where you live. The eastern neighborhoods date back to the city’s early years, when the first houses went up in the 1950s, and areas like Hollywood Pines still have many 1960s ranch homes. Bathrooms in these houses are often original or were last updated decades ago. Behind the tile, we plan for older shower valves, supply lines and drains that are worth replacing while the walls are open.
The city also has several 55 and over communities, including Century Village, a gated community of thousands of condos with its own golf course and clubhouse. For many owners there, a bathroom remodel is about removing the tub and making the room easier to use every day. Condo work also means following the association’s rules for approvals, work hours, building access and water shutoffs, and we plan the job around those from the start.
In the western part of the city, master-planned communities like SilverLakes, Chapel Trail, Towngate and Pembroke Falls have newer, larger homes, usually with HOAs that regulate contractor parking and dumpsters. Bathrooms there tend to be in good structural shape and ready for a design update. Whichever part of the city you are in, the city’s building department handles permits for plumbing and electrical work, and we can help with design and permits. We remodel bathrooms throughout Pembroke Pines, including:
Yes. We remove the tub, rework the drain and valve, and build a waterproof shower with a low or no curb entry. We can add a bench, a handheld shower and wall blocking for grab bars. If it is the only tub in the house, think about resale and family needs before removing it.
Most associations have an approval process for renovations, especially work involving plumbing. They may also set work hours and rules for building access and debris. Ask your association for its requirements before scheduling. We help you prepare the details they request and plan the work to follow their rules.
Work that changes plumbing, electrical or walls generally needs a permit from the city's building department. Replacing a mirror, painting or swapping a faucet usually does not. We tell you which parts of your project need a permit and help prepare the paperwork so inspections are done before anything is covered up.
We plan around it. That means sequencing the work so the toilet is reconnected as early as possible and keeping the time the room is fully out of service short. Some families stay with relatives for the most disruptive days. We talk through the options with you before the project starts.
