Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Oakland Park, FL: tub-to-shower conversions, new tile floors and shower walls, vanities, toilets, fixtures, glass doors, lighting and fan swaps, and grab bars. Every remodel is priced per project, and the estimate is free when you send photos and rough measurements by phone or WhatsApp. Work that moves plumbing, wiring or walls is permitted through our general contractor partner.

A good bathroom remodel in Oakland Park is mostly about the parts nobody sees once it is finished: a properly sloped shower floor, waterproofing behind the tile, solid backing for grab bars and the glass door, and a fan that actually vents the moisture out. We pay attention to those first, then to the vanity, tile and fixtures that give the room its look.

Send photos and measurements to (786) 788-8714 by text or WhatsApp and we will build a free per-project estimate from them. Helpful shots include the shower or tub from straight on, the ceiling, the floor around the toilet and the inside of the vanity cabinet where the pipes come through. Write to us in Spanish or English, whichever is easier for your household.

Remodeling bathrooms in Oakland Park's older homes

Oakland Park is an older, established Broward city where much of the housing is compact 1950s and 1960s concrete-block ranch houses, with newer townhomes and infill on some streets.

Houses built from the 1920s through the 1960s around the mid-century ranch streets and the Fort Lauderdale border often still have their original bathroom bones: tile set in a thick mortar bed, plaster walls, a cast-iron tub and cast-iron or galvanized pipes behind it. Some owners want to keep the character, meaning the vintage tile, the window and the proportions, and update only the fixtures. Others want everything new. Both are fair choices, and we price them differently.

Opening walls in an older house means planning for what is inside. Galvanized supply lines are often narrowed with rust, and cast-iron drains can be cracked along the bottom. When we see those, we photograph them and tell you before going further. Replacing drain or supply lines is permitted plumbing work handled through our general contractor partner, and it is usually smarter to do it while the walls are already open.

Suburban bathrooms: hall baths, primary baths and tub swaps

Concrete-block houses and townhomes built from the 1960s through the 1990s in Oakland Park tend to share the same bathroom story: a fiberglass or acrylic tub-shower combo in the hall bath, a cultured-marble vanity top, and a primary bath with a large tub that nobody uses. The most common projects are replacing that combo with a tiled shower and turning the unused tub into a roomier walk-in shower.

Because these bathrooms often sit against concrete-block exterior walls, we plan anchors and any wall changes with that in mind. Grab bars and glass doors are fastened into block or framing, not just drywall. If you want to add a second sink, move the toilet or relocate the shower valve, that is permitted plumbing work through our general contractor partner, and we price it separately so you can compare.

From photos to finished bathroom: our process

  1. Send photos and measurements by phone or WhatsApp. Wide shots of each wall, the floor and the ceiling help most. You receive a free estimate priced for the whole project, not by the hour.
  2. Agree on the plan in writing: the scope, the finishes you have chosen, which items you buy and which we source, and a schedule that accounts for special-order tile or glass.
  3. Handle permits: plumbing, electrical and layout changes are permitted work. Those permits are pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Oakland Park building department, and inspections are scheduled at the right stages of the job.
  4. Build the bathroom: the crew tears out, checks the framing and pipes it uncovers, waterproofs the wet areas, sets tile, installs the vanity, toilet, glass and fixtures, then paints and caulks.
  5. Walk through it together: we run the water, check for leaks and finish details with you, then send photos documenting the waterproofing, the finished room and care notes for grout and glass.

How long a bathroom remodel takes in Oakland Park

If you live in a condo, the association adds its own steps before work can start: an application, a certificate of insurance, sometimes a board or management review, and a reserved service elevator for demolition day. Permit review by the local building department adds time to any job that changes plumbing, wiring or layout. We start those requests early so the bathroom is not left sitting half-finished.

Bathroom Remodeling in Oakland Park — questions we get asked

Can you turn a tub into a walk-in shower for an older parent?

Yes, it is a request we hear often. We remove the tub, build a shower with a low curb or curbless entry where the floor allows, add a handheld sprayer, a seat and grab bars anchored into solid backing, and use slip-resistant floor tile. Tell us who will use the shower and any mobility needs so the heights and positions fit them.

My house is old. What surprises should I expect?

In houses from the 1920s through the 1960s, common findings are galvanized supply pipes clogged with rust, cracked cast-iron drains, thick mortar-bed tile and uneven plaster walls. We list the likely unknowns in the estimate. When walls open, we send photos before changing anything, and replacing pipes is permitted work through our general contractor partner, usually most practical while the walls are open.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Spanish-speaking staff can handle the whole project, from reviewing your photos and explaining the estimate to talking with family members during the work. Write to (786) 788-8714 by text or WhatsApp in whichever language you prefer, and tell us if someone in the household is more comfortable in Spanish so we keep them in the loop.

What is not included in a bathroom remodel?

We do not fabricate stone countertops; a stone shop makes them and we coordinate the template and install. Permitted plumbing, electrical and layout changes go through our general contractor partner rather than our own crew. We also do not do large-scale mold remediation, which needs a specialist. Anything outside the written scope is discussed and agreed before it happens, never added quietly.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Oakland Park?

Every bathroom is priced as its own project, because the scope varies so much: a vanity and toilet swap is a different job from a full gut with a tiled shower. Send photos and rough measurements by text or WhatsApp to (786) 788-8714, and we send back a free estimate. If the photos leave open questions, we ask before quoting rather than guessing.
