We work in Davie every week. Our crews know the town’s 33314 zip, the ranch-style homes off Stirling Road, the equestrian lots near Flamingo Road, and the newer pockets around Shotgun Road.

Key takeaways:
- Full bathroom remodels in Davie cost $9,000-$28,000; small bathroom remodels run $5,000-$12,000.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Davie
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild bathroom remodel in Davie means taking the room to the studs, fixing what the last 40 or 50 years did to the framing, and rebuilding with materials rated for Broward County’s high-velocity hurricane zone. We handle the demolition, plumbing reroutes, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and the final inspection sign-off. Most full remodels in Davie’s 1960s and 1970s ranches land between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on footprint, fixture grade, and whether we’re adding square footage.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Davie runs $4,500 to $12,000, and it’s one of the most common requests we hear from homeowners around Shotgun Road and points east who are done climbing over a tub wall. A proper walk-in shower means a Schluter waterproofing membrane behind the tile, a correctly sloped mud bed or pre-sloped pan, and a frameless glass enclosure rated for the humidity swings Davie sees every summer. Skip the membrane and you’ll have mold behind the tile within a year. We don’t skip it.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Davie typically costs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s a smart move for ranch homes where the hallway bath is the only full bath. We pull the old tub, fix whatever the original 1970s drain water did to the subfloor, and install a walk-in shower with a Sterling or Kohler pan, new valve, and either tile or solid-surface surround. The conversion also gives us a reason to check whether the bathroom’s exhaust fan actually vents to the outside, not into the attic, which we find all the time in older Davie homes.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Davie runs $800 to $3,000, and it’s rarely just swapping a cabinet. The old vanities in many Davie ranches hide water damage behind the toe kick, and the original supply valves are often frozen open. We replace the valves, repair the wall, and set the new vanity level, because few slabs in Davie are actually flat after 50 years. Tile work runs the same way: we inspect the substrate, fix cracks in the slab, and use a decoupling membrane so your new floor doesn’t telegraph Davie’s soil movement through the grout lines.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We stock and install names you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. On bathroom remodels in Davie, that means Schluter waterproofing systems, Grohe and Sterling fixtures, and shower glass cut to spec for the opening we actually built, not a standard size we force to fit. If you already picked a Grohe valve or a Sterling pan, we’ll install it correctly and stand behind the work. Our relationships with local suppliers in South Florida mean faster lead times on replacement parts, so you’re not waiting three weeks on a backordered shower cartridge when the bathroom is already gutted.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Slab moisture and mold behind tile. Davie’s water table is high, and many 1960s and 1970s ranches were built on slabs with no vapor barrier under the bathroom. A remodel that moves a drain or adds a shower without addressing slab moisture traps humidity behind the tile. We test, we seal, and we waterproof before the tile goes up.
- Original cast-iron drains rotted at the slab line. We open bathroom floors in Davie all the time and find 50-year-old cast-iron drain pipes that are paper-thin at the slab. You can’t see it until the floor comes up. A good remodel includes a camera inspection of the drain line, not just a pretty new shower.
- Exhaust fans venting into the attic. Older Davie homes often have bathroom fans that blow damp air into the attic, not through the roof. That moisture feeds mold in the trusses and reduces the life of your roof deck. We tie the new fan into an exterior vent every time, and we check the attic for existing storm-strap issues while we’re up there.
- Unpermitted work from the last remodel. We see it monthly: a bathroom added without permits, a shower pan that never passed inspection, a water heater moved into a closet without clearance. Unpermitted work can void an insurance claim after a storm, especially in Davie. We pull permits, we get the sign-off, and we leave you with the paperwork to prove it.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Davie
Only if you’re touching the exterior envelope, which most bathroom remodels in Davie don’t, but many bathrooms here have a window, and if you’re replacing that window or adding a new vent opening, Broward County’s HVHZ wind-load requirements apply. That means impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter, plus the inspection paperwork that goes with it. A bathroom remodel that stays entirely interior and doesn’t move exterior walls usually doesn’t trigger a wind-mitigation inspection on its own, but if the inspector spots damaged hurricane strapping in the attic while we’re there, it will go on the report. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific home needs before you pay for a quote.
A compliant quote includes Town of Davie permit fees, the waterproofing membrane behind the tile, a licensed plumber and electrician where the code requires one, the high-velocity hurricane zone glazing or vent flashing if we’re touching an exterior opening, and the final inspection sign-off. Cheap quotes in Davie leave out the permit, skip the membrane, use unlicensed subs, and install standard glazing that fails the wind-load requirement. Then the homeowner pays twice: once for the cheap work, once for us to fix it and pull the permit that should have been pulled the first time. Get it in writing before work starts, and ask the contractor to put the permit number on the scope. We do.
Davie sits on low-lying, Everglades-adjacent land, and the water table is close enough to the surface that ground-disturbing work has to tie into Broward County’s stormwater grid. For a bathroom remodel, that means two things. First, if we’re moving a drain or cutting into the slab, we have to account for the moisture already sitting in the concrete and treat the slab before we seal and tile. Second, after summer thunderstorms, standing water and saturated soil can delay any exterior work that touches the foundation or drainage. We schedule around it. We plan for it. A contractor from outside the area won’t know it’s coming until his excavation fills with water. We do, because we work in Davie all year.
For most single-family homes in Davie, yes. The Town’s Western/ranch architectural theme requirement applies to commercial corridors like University Drive and to commercial or mixed-use buildings, not to the bathroom inside your private ranch home. If your home is zoned residential and you’re not changing the exterior footprint, a tub-to-shower conversion doesn’t trigger that design review. But if you live in one of the few mixed-use structures in town or you’re remodeling a bathroom inside a building with a commercial component, the review applies, and we handle it. If your lot is under Davie’s agricultural overlay, a small bathroom addition could trigger a different check, so we verify zoning before we quote. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your specific address.
Yes. If a hurricane damages your home and the insurance adjuster finds unpermitted bathroom work, especially added square footage, replaced windows without impact-rated glazing, or electrical that never passed inspection, the carrier can deny part or all of the claim. That’s not a scare tactic. It’s in the policy. We’ve helped Davie homeowners dig out of exactly that hole: a previous contractor told them permits were optional, the storm came, and the adjuster walked the house looking for exactly that. We pull permits, we pass inspections, and we hand you the paperwork. It’s the cheapest insurance you’ll ever buy, and it’s included in the scope up front. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your bathroom remodel in Davie, and ask us about the permits while you’re on the phone.
