Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Longwood
A General Contractor - Longwood does more than swap tile and fixtures. In this city, the job often starts with figuring out what’s behind the original drywall of a 1960s CBS block home, and whether the plumbing is galvanized or has already been updated. We open walls carefully, map the existing runs, and plan the new layout so it works with the house you actually have, not the house a generic quote assumes.
Full bathroom remodels in Longwood run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on finishes, layout changes, and what the existing plumbing looks like once we get inside. The written price we give you covers everything we can see during the estimate, plus a clear scope for what happens if we find something unexpected.
Designer and Architect Coordination
When a Longwood homeowner brings an architect or designer into a high-end remodel, we handle the field side. That means reading the drawings against the actual framing, calling out conflicts before they become change orders, and keeping the schedule moving during those long-lead material waits. Luca stays in direct contact with the design team so nobody gets a surprise at rough-in.
Permit and Tree-Protection Work
Longwood’s tree ordinances are stricter than what you’ll find in Casselberry or Winter Park. If your remodel touches an exterior wall, adds an exhaust vent, or shifts plumbing that runs near a protected live oak, expect an arborist report before permits get issued. We handle that paperwork and coordinate with the city so you don’t get a stop-work order mid-project.
Walk In Shower in Longwood
A Walk In Shower in Longwood is one of the most common upgrades we install in older ranch homes, especially when a homeowner wants to age in place or just lose the tub they never use. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000. The range depends on whether it’s a curbless design over an existing slab, the glass configuration, and the waterproofing system we spec.
Curbless showers are very doable in Longwood’s CBS homes, but they require real planning. The original slab often sits too shallow to recess the pan, so we build up the shower floor or use a linear drain system that works with the existing concrete. We never cut corners on the waterproofing layer, especially in Longwood’s humid climate where a missed seam turns into mold inside a year.
Frameless Glass and Custom Millwork
For high-end walk-in showers, frameless glass panels are the default. We measure after tile is set, not before, so the glass fits exactly and doesn’t rely on fat silicone beads to hide gaps. Custom niches, benches, and millwork get built to spec with Schluter edge trim, the metal strip that waterproofs where tile meets the floor.
Long-Lead Materials and Written Allowances
On a tier-one bathroom, cabinetry and custom slab lead times set the calendar, not labor. A Cambria or Silestone vanity top ordered after framing starts can add four to six weeks. We lock your selections and price before opening the first wall, so the number you approved is the number you pay when the glass shows up.
Trusted Brands We Service in Longwood
We install and service materials from Cambria, Silestone, Kohler, and KraftMaid, among others. That means Longwood homeowners choose from proven manufacturers with real warranties, not mystery suppliers. Because Bathroom Remodeling in Longwood is core to our Orlando coverage, we keep common fixture parts and trim local, which means faster turnarounds when a drain assembly or valve cartridge needs replacing mid-project. You pick the brand. We handle sourcing, delivery coordination, and installation.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Longwood Homes
- Unpermitted plumbing and vent changes on CBS homes. When inspectors find exterior vent work or root disturbance without an arborist’s sign-off, they issue stop-work orders. We pull permits and coordinate tree reports before any cutting starts.
- Humidity-driven waterproofing failures. Longwood’s summer dew points are brutal. Builders who skip the moisture barrier or use drywall behind tile in custom niches and benches end up with mold inside twelve months. We spec full membrane systems on every wet wall.
- Long-lead custom orders without written allowances. A homeowner picks a Cambria color after framing starts, then waits six weeks and pays a change order. Our written allowances lock the slab choice and price before demo day.
- Galvanized plumbing surprises. Many 1960s and 1970s Longwood ranches still have original galvanized supply lines. We identify them during the estimate and write the repipe scope into the fixed price so it’s not a surprise at rough-in.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Longwood
Yes, if the work touches an exterior wall, adds an exhaust vent, or runs new plumbing underground near a protected live oak. Longwood’s tree ordinances require an arborist report and root-zone construction methods before permits are issued, even when the bathroom footprint doesn’t change. We handle the report and coordinate with the city. Call (850) 809-0306 and we’ll tell you upfront whether your project triggers the requirement.
We never tie new shower plumbing into the original galvanized lines, and we always spec a full waterproofing membrane over the wet wall. On older CBS slabs, we build the shower floor with a proper slope and linear drain rather than trying to recess the pan. Longwood’s humidity punishes shortcuts within a year. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if it leaks, we make it right in writing.
A written allowance is a fixed dollar amount in your contract for a specific material, like a Cambria slab, Kohler fixtures, or KraftMaid cabinetry. You pick the exact style and color, and the price stays within the allowance unless you upgrade beyond it. If you do upgrade, the new number is agreed in writing before the order goes in, not after. That prevents the five-week lead-time surprise that stalls punch lists. Call (850) 809-0306 for a detailed scope.
Usually yes, with a linear drain and a modestly raised shower floor rather than a full recess. The existing slab in most 1970s CBS Longwood homes sits too shallow to cut deeply, so we build up the shower area and slope it correctly. You get the curbless entry without raising the whole bathroom floor or compromising the structure. We’ll confirm the exact approach during your free estimate.
Indoor work like tile, plumbing, and cabinetry continues through storms without issue. The parts of the schedule affected are deliveries, exterior vent work, and any brief material staging outdoors. We plan around the forecast, send photo updates so you can see progress, and we don’t use weather as an excuse to go quiet. Your written price and schedule stay transparent no matter what the sky does. Call (850) 809-0306 and we’ll walk you through it.
