Walk-In Showers in Windermere, FL

Often, yes. Removing a platform tub usually frees enough floor for a large walk-in shower. A curbless entry depends on how much the slab inside the shower can be lowered and where the drain can run, which we check during the in-home visit. If curbless is not practical, a low curb still gives an easy step in, and we tell you plainly which one your bathroom allows.

Many homes with a Windermere address are not in the Town. Isleworth, Keene's Pointe and neighborhoods toward Horizon West are unincorporated Orange County, so the county issues building permits there. Homes inside Town limits are permitted through the Town's building department. The Orange County Property Appraiser record shows which applies, and we check it before design.

Yes. Gated Windermere communities usually require contractor registration, insurance documents, gate access lists and an architectural review submittal for any exterior change. We prepare those documents, follow the community's work hours and vehicle rules, and schedule deliveries so the crew and materials are cleared at the gate before work starts.

It depends on how much the plumbing moves, the shower size, the tile and the glass. A conversion that stays in the tub footprint with a low curb is a smaller project than a curbless shower that recesses the slab and uses a linear drain and large frameless glass. We give a written estimate after measuring your bathroom at home.

Most tub to shower conversions take about 2 to 3 weeks of work on site, plus time for the glass. Demolition and plumbing take a few days, waterproofing and tile about a week or two, and the glass is measured after tile and installed 1 to 2 weeks later.

Usually yes. A tub to shower conversion changes the drain and the valve, and plumbing changes generally require a permit from your city or county building department. We pull the plumbing permit under our own license, schedule the inspections and close the permit out, so the work is on record when you sell.
