Bathroom Remodeling in Maitland, FL

Inside the bathroom, terrazzo is usually removed or covered, because the new shower and floor need their own slope, waterproofing and tile. The harder question is the doorway, where bathroom tile meets terrazzo in the hall. We plan a clean threshold or transition there so a terrazzo floor you want to restore outside the bath stays intact.

For properties inside city limits, the City of Maitland Building and Permitting Division issues permits through its online system. Unincorporated parcels with a Maitland address go through the Orange County Division of Building Safety, and Eatonville, which shares the 32751 ZIP code, has its own town government. We confirm the jurisdiction from the property appraiser record before filing.

Often it is worth a look before you cover them. Terrazzo under old carpet in many 1950s and 1960s Maitland homes can be ground, patched and polished into a durable floor. If it is badly cracked or patched with mismatched sections, porcelain tile or waterproof plank over it is the practical choice. We assess the condition after a test area is uncovered.

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.
