Bathroom Remodeling in Longwood, FL

It depends on whether the parcel is inside Longwood city limits. Many homes with a Longwood address, particularly in 32779 around Sweetwater Oaks, Sabal Point and Wekiva Hunt Club, are in unincorporated Seminole County, which means the county Building Division issues the permit. We check the property appraiser tax district at the first visit and file with the right office.

Usually yes. A sunken room is a lower section of the slab, and it can be filled and leveled to match the rest of the house, so new flooring runs continuously. We check for plumbing, ductwork or drainage in that area first, and the change is typically part of a permitted remodel rather than a separate project.

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.
