Bathroom Renovation Contractor Jacksonville FL

Costs depend on room size, how much of the room is removed, tile coverage, shower configuration, vanity size, material level and whether plumbing or electrical work moves. A targeted refresh sits at the low end of most planning ranges, a standard hall-bath renovation in the middle, and a large primary suite with a tiled walk-in shower, freestanding tub and custom cabinetry at the top. Our cost calculator turns your specific selections into a low-to-high planning range.

Most of the schedule is driven by sequencing rather than labor hours: demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, waterproofing and its cure time, tile setting, grout, then finish carpentry, fixtures and glass. Material lead times and inspection scheduling can extend a project, so we build a schedule for your specific scope instead of quoting a fixed number of days for every bathroom.

A full renovation typically removes finishes down to the framing and subfloor, then rebuilds the shower or tub area with a new waterproofing assembly, new tile, flooring, vanity, countertop, sink, toilet, lighting, mirror, exhaust ventilation, trim and hardware. Layout changes and plumbing relocation are optional additions that expand the scope.

Often yes. A standard 60-inch alcove tub footprint converts well to a tiled shower. The work involves removing the tub and surround, adjusting the drain from a tub drain to a shower drain, framing and sloping the pan area, installing the waterproofing assembly, then tiling and adding glass. If the bathroom is the only one with a tub in the home, it is worth thinking about resale and bathing needs first.

Layout changes are possible in many homes. Swapping a vanity wall, widening a shower, removing a soffit or reworking a linen closet can transform how the room functions. Feasibility depends on framing, floor structure, existing drain locations, vent stacks and where walls can be opened.

Relocating supply lines is usually simpler than relocating drains, because drains need proper slope and venting. Moving a toilet drain or shower drain in a slab-on-grade home can require cutting and patching concrete, which adds cost and time. Keeping fixtures near existing rough-in locations is one of the most effective ways to control budget.

Porcelain tile is the most common choice because it is dense, water-resistant and holds up to humidity. Ceramic tile is a value-friendly option in lower-traffic baths. Luxury vinyl plank can work in some bathrooms when it is a quality waterproof product and the installation details are handled carefully, though tile remains the more durable choice in wet areas.

Use an exhaust fan sized for the room, vent it fully to the exterior rather than into an attic, run it during and after showering, choose moisture-tolerant finishes, keep glass and tile wiped down, and maintain grout and caulk joints. Good ventilation habits matter especially in North Florida's humid months.

Yes, and small bathrooms often benefit the most from good planning. Clearances, door swing, vanity depth, a shower that reads larger with a low threshold and clear glass, recessed niches instead of shelves, and better lighting can make a compact room feel completely different without moving walls.

In many primary bathrooms yes, provided there is enough floor area for the tub with clearance around it plus a usable shower footprint. When space is tight, homeowners often prioritize a larger shower and skip the tub, or choose a smaller soaking tub with the shower sized generously.

Tile budget is driven by coverage, tile size and pattern complexity as much as tile price. Floor-only tile is the smallest allowance; a shower with full-height walls, a mosaic accent band, a niche and a curbless entry involves more material, more layout work and more labor. Large-format tile can reduce grout lines but often requires more substrate preparation.

It depends on the work. Structural changes, plumbing relocation and electrical modifications commonly trigger permit requirements, while simple cosmetic replacement often does not. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and change over time, so homeowners should confirm current requirements for their property with the appropriate Jacksonville, Duval County or local permitting authority.

Clear the room and nearby storage, plan an alternate bathroom for the household, confirm selections early so materials arrive before demolition, decide on paint and hardware finishes, agree on a work-hours window, and protect walkways and adjacent flooring. Our renovation checklist walks through this in order.

Start with width and depth against clearances, then decide between drawers and doors based on what you store, choose a counter height that suits the household, and check faucet hole spacing and drain alignment. Also plan outlets, lighting position and mirror size at the same time, since they all interact.

Yes. Curbless entries, linear drains, tiled shower benches, blocking for future grab bars, comfort-height toilets, handheld sprayers and slip-resistant tile all integrate into a contemporary design. Planning the blocking during framing costs little and keeps future options open.
