Bathroom Remodeling in Dr. Phillips, FL

For most owners who rarely use it, yes. A corner tub takes up a large part of the room, and removing it usually makes space for a bigger walk-in shower or a second vanity. If you still want to soak, a freestanding tub uses less floor and is easier to clean around. We show both layouts in a 3D rendering before you decide.

Orange County, for nearly all Dr. Phillips homes. The area is unincorporated, even though many mailing addresses say Orlando, so permits go through the Orange County Division of Building Safety. A few parcels nearby are inside City of Orlando limits. We check the parcel record before applying so the application goes to the right office.

Usually, yes. Filling a sunken living area means building up the slab level so the floor runs continuously, and removing kitchen soffits means rerouting any ductwork, wiring or plumbing inside them. We open an inspection point when needed during the in-home visit so the estimate reflects what the soffit actually contains.

The shower is usually the most expensive part, because it combines demolition, waterproofing, tile labor, the valve and often custom glass. Moving plumbing comes next: relocating a toilet, shower drain or sink on a slab means cutting and patching concrete. Vanities, tile choice and the amount of tile on the walls also move the number. For typical ranges, see our bathroom remodel cost guide.

It depends on the room and the scope more than the square footage. A powder room refresh, a guest bath that keeps its layout and a primary bath that moves drains and adds a large shower are different projects. The main drivers are plumbing moves, shower size and glass, tile type and coverage, the vanity and permits. We give a written estimate after measuring at your home, and our bathroom cost guide explains typical ranges.

Most bathroom remodels take about 2 to 5 weeks on site once materials are in. A guest bath that keeps its layout is at the shorter end. A primary bath with slab plumbing moves, a large tiled shower and custom glass takes longer, because glass is measured only after the tile is finished. Design, selections, ordering and permits usually add a few weeks before demolition starts.
