Bathroom Remodeling in Las Olas Isles
Salt air is hard on bathrooms.
The bathrooms are usually the last honest thing left in a Las Olas Isles house. A 1961 waterfront home on Hendricks Isle or San Marco Drive came with a compact hall bath, a slightly larger one off the primary bedroom, and no concept of a suite. Even the 1990s renovations are dated now: framed shower doors, a garden tub nobody has filled in a decade, a vanity built for one. Owners here combine a bedroom or a closet into the primary bath and rebuild it properly in stone and glass.
Bathroom work is permitted through Fort Lauderdale Development Services, with plumbing, electrical and mechanical inspections along the way, and those inspections are the reason the waterproofing gets verified before tile hides it. Broward inspectors are certified by the county Board of Rules and Appeals and work from the Broward amendments to the Florida Building Code, so expect a reviewer who knows exactly what a shower pan detail should look like. On these isles the deeper issue is age: cast iron drains and galvanized supply from the original build, and slabs poured on dredge fill.
A bathroom is a small building with no tolerance for optimism. Membranes get flood-tested and held overnight before anyone sets tile, slopes get confirmed with a level, blocking goes in behind the walls for heavy glass and grab bars whether or not you want them yet, and fixtures near salt air get specified for it. Fixed written scope, daily supervision, protected floors between the front door and the work, licensed and insured under Lic. CGC1539072. Water finds the one detail you skipped.

What's included
Building a bath on the isles.
Every bathroom is drawn, specified and priced before the first tile order goes out. The work below covers most isle primary suites and guest baths.
Suites carved from bedrooms
Reworking an adjacent bedroom, hallway or closet into a real primary bath and dressing area, with plans, rough-ins and permits handled as one package.
Flood-tested waterproofing
Bonded membranes, curbs and pans tested with standing water and signed off before tile, because retiling a failed shower costs more than doing it once.
Curbless where the slab allows
Recessed pans and linear drains cut into the slab where the structure and drain fall allow, with an honest low-curb alternative when they do not.
New lines behind open walls
Swapping original cast iron and galvanized runs for new drain and supply lines while the walls are already open and access costs nothing extra.
Stone, glass and hardware
Marble and quartzite sealed for daily use, heavy frameless glass hung on real blocking, and finishes chosen to hold up near a saltwater canal.
