Bathroom Remodeling in Hollywood, FL
Vanities, showers, tubs, and tile — full bathroom renovations built with waterproofing done right.
What a Bathroom Remodel Actually Involves
Older Hollywood and Broward bathrooms often still have their original small fiberglass tub-shower combo and dated tile from the home's original construction. A full remodel replaces the vanity, shower or tub, tile, and fixtures, and increasingly means converting a cramped tub-shower into a walk-in shower with a bench and rain head.
South Florida humidity makes bathrooms one of the highest-risk rooms in the house for hidden water damage. Grout fails, caulk lets go, and moisture gets into the wall or subfloor long before it's visible. A proper remodel addresses that with real waterproofing membrane, not just new tile over the same problem.
Signs Your Bathroom Is Ready for a Remodel
- Tile or grout is cracked, discolored, or has visible mold
- The layout feels cramped or the tub goes unused
- You want a walk-in shower instead of a tub-shower combo
- You're planning to age in place and want a curbless shower
- Fixtures, vanity, or lighting feel dated compared to the rest of the home
Our Bathroom Remodeling Process
Design & material selection
Tile, vanity, fixtures, and layout get decided before demo starts.
Demo
Old tile, vanity, and tub or shower come out down to the studs where needed.
Plumbing & waterproofing
Plumbing rough-in and a real waterproofing membrane go in before any tile.
Tile, fixtures & final detail
Tile, vanity, glass, and fixtures get installed and detailed for the final walkthrough.
What Drives the Cost of a Bathroom Remodel
Tile material and how intricate the installation is (a mosaic accent wall costs more labor than a simple field tile), fixture quality, whether the layout is changing (moving a drain or supply line adds cost), glass shower enclosures versus a curtain or standard door, and vanity or countertop material all factor into the final number. We break this down during the estimate.
Why Choose FM Tabares LLC for Your Bathroom Remodel
We don't skip waterproofing to save a step. 25+ years of seeing what happens when moisture gets behind tile means we build bathrooms to hold up in South Florida's humidity, not just look good on installation day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a full bathroom remodel take?
Most full bathroom remodels — new tile, vanity, shower or tub, and fixtures — run a few weeks depending on the scope and whether the layout is changing. We'll give you a real timeline once we've seen the space.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common requests we get, especially from homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term and wanting a curbless or low-threshold shower.
How do you handle waterproofing so I don't get leaks into the floor below?
Waterproofing membrane behind tile and under the shower pan is not optional in our process — it's the difference between a bathroom that lasts and one that causes water damage two years later. We've seen what happens when it's skipped, and we don't skip it.
Can you match current code for ventilation and GFCI outlets?
Yes — proper exhaust ventilation and GFCI-protected outlets are part of any bathroom remodel we do, both because it's code and because South Florida humidity makes ventilation especially important.
Do you build curbless or accessible showers?
Yes, we build curbless showers and other accessible features for homeowners planning ahead or renovating for a family member with mobility needs.
