Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Melrose Park
Bathroom remodeling in Melrose Park, FL typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects starting around $5,000. Most of our Melrose Park clients see their projects permitted through Broward County and completed within 4-8 weeks, though HVHZ compliance requirements can add time if your home needs impact-rated window or door upgrades.
We’re based in Fort Lauderdale, so a call from Melrose Park puts our crew on your doorstep fast. We know the 33308 ZIP well - the concrete block homes off North 32nd Avenue, the mid-century slabs near John Knox Village, the properties backing up to the Middle River. Melrose Park isn’t incorporated, and that matters more than most homeowners realize until they’re knee-deep in a remodel. You don’t pull permits from a city hall here. Everything runs through Broward County’s Building Division, and every square foot sits inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s not paperwork trivia - it changes what windows you can install, what doors pass inspection, and which contractors actually know how to navigate the process without stalling your project.
Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate. We’ll walk your job site and flag the HVHZ issues upfront so nothing surprises you mid-build.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Melrose Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve built bathrooms from Davie to Lauderdale Lakes, but Melrose Park keeps us sharp. The county permitting, the HVHZ wind-load calculations, the 1950s-1970s CBS slabs with original windows that won’t pass modern inspection - we’ve handled it enough to know where the delays hide.
Our clients in Melrose Park tend to find us after another contractor underestimated the county process. Raymond Estevez and our team have relationships with Broward County inspectors built from years of roofing, window, and bathroom projects across unincorporated Broward. That familiarity saves weeks.
We carry 50+ brand partnerships, so when we specify an impact-rated window for your bathroom, you choose between manufacturers - not take whatever’s in our warehouse. And because we handle roofing, Melrose Park Windows & Doors, and full additions under one roof, a bathroom remodel that reveals structural or envelope issues doesn’t turn into a contractor shuffle. One call, one crew, one accountable build.
Response time to Melrose Park is typically same-day or next-day for estimates. We’re not driving from Miami or Palm Beach County. We’re local.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Melrose Park
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Melrose Park Full Bathroom Remodeling starts with a reality check on your existing conditions. Many homes here were built slab-on-grade in the 1960s and 1970s with original windows, aging cast iron drains, and electrical that predates GFCI requirements. We strip to the studs, assess what the county will require for HVHZ compliance, and rebuild with your chosen materials - whether that’s KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria or Silestone countertops, or tile from a specialty importer. Every window we install meets impact-rated standards. Every exterior door we touch gets wind-loaded to Broward’s specs. You choose the brands. We handle the build.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Our Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling service in Melrose Park runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on size, tile selection, and whether we’re moving drains across a concrete slab. The high water table here - just 2-4 feet below grade in most of Broward - means any slab penetration demands precision. We’ve replaced cracked fiberglass surrounds with curbless walk-in designs in homes near John Knox Village, and we’ve converted cramped 5×8 wet areas into open showers with bench seating and linear drains. Our crew knows how to waterproof above the slab line to prevent the moisture infiltration that plagues older Melrose Park bathrooms.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion is one of our most requested services in Melrose Park, priced at $3,500-$10,000. The 1960s pink and avocado tubs are finally leaving local homes, but the swap isn’t always straightforward. We recently took on a tub-to-shower conversion in Melrose Park, off North 32nd Avenue, in a 1960s CBS home with a non-impact original bathroom window. Our crew had to swap that window for a wind-rated unit and reinforce the surrounding framing to meet HVHZ codes before we could even touch the plumbing, which added a few days to the timeline but ensured the bathroom could withstand a Category 5 storm. That’s the kind of sequencing knowledge that prevents red tags and rework.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Melrose Park ranges from $800-$3,000 depending on whether we’re dropping in a prefab unit or building custom. Tile work varies widely - porcelain and ceramic from standard lines, or imported stone that needs specialized setting materials for Florida’s humidity. We source through our brand partnerships so you’re not limited to big-box inventory. In Melrose Park’s older homes, we often find walls out of plumb and floors that slope toward original drains; our carpenters correct these before tile goes up, because a vanity that looks perfect on day one and gaps on day thirty isn’t built to spec, it’s built to convenience.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Frameless glass shower enclosures are absolutely allowed in Melrose Park’s hurricane zone - but they must be impact-rated or protected by an impact-rated window/door system in the same wet area. Standard frameless glass from a big-box supplier won’t pass Broward County inspection. We work with manufacturers who certify their enclosures for HVHZ applications, and we document every rating sheet for the county inspector. If your bathroom has an exterior wall with an original window, that window almost always needs replacement before the enclosure can be approved.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Small Bathroom Remodels - Melrose Park projects, the classic 5×8 guest baths common in 1960s ranch homes, start at $5,000 and typically top out around $12,000. Even at this scale, HVHZ rules apply. One non-impact window triggers the full replacement requirement. One exterior door, even if it’s not being moved, gets inspected for wind rating. We price these requirements into our estimates from the start so you’re not negotiating change orders after demolition.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Melrose Park Homes
- Assuming municipal permits apply. Melrose Park is unincorporated Broward County, so bathroom remodels must be permitted through the county’s Building Division - not Oakland Park, not Lauderdale Lakes. Contractors who file in the wrong jurisdiction create red-tag delays that can idle your project for weeks.
- Reusing original non-impact windows. That 1960s jalousie or single-pane slider in your bathroom won’t pass HVHZ inspection during a remodel. We see homeowners try to “work around” it by calling the project cosmetic. Broward County inspectors don’t play that game. The window gets upgraded, or the permit doesn’t close.
- Ignoring water table realities during plumbing work. With groundwater sitting 2-4 feet below slab in much of Melrose Park, any drain relocation or slab penetration risks water infiltration. We’ve been called to fix mold issues in partially completed remodels where an out-of-area crew didn’t account for hydrostatic pressure.
- Ordering standard glass instead of impact-rated enclosures. Frameless glass shower enclosures are popular in Melrose Park, but standard products fail both code and common sense when a named storm rolls through. We specify HVHZ-rated glass or design protection systems that satisfy the county and actually perform in high wind.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Melrose Park
You need a permit from Broward County’s Building Division, not a municipal office, because Melrose Park is unincorporated. Any contractor who tells you to pull a city permit doesn’t understand local jurisdiction and will likely face red tags mid-project. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles county filing, HVHZ documentation, and inspection scheduling as part of every Melrose Park quote. Call (844) 665-0162 to confirm your property’s status.
Yes, if your bathroom remodel triggers a full permit - which any structural, plumbing, or electrical work will - Broward County requires all windows in the project area to meet HVHZ impact-rated standards. That 1960s original won’t pass inspection. We specify replacement windows from Andersen, PGT, or CGI with documented Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval ratings, and we price this requirement into our estimate upfront so you’re not surprised after demolition. Call (844) 665-0162 for a window assessment.
Broward County’s water table sits just 2-4 feet below grade, so any slab penetration for drain relocation risks groundwater infiltration that can stall work and create mold conditions. Our crews use specific waterproofing protocols above the slab line and coordinate with county inspectors on drain testing requirements that account for hydrostatic pressure. This isn’t theoretical - we’ve repaired water-damaged subfloors in Melrose Park homes where previous contractors ignored the water table. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll assess your slab conditions before quoting.
You can if the existing tile is sound, the fixtures are functional, and the project stays below Broward County’s threshold for full permitting - but in practice, most shower-only updates in Melrose Park still trigger county inspection because they involve plumbing modification and often touch adjacent windows or doors. We evaluate this case by case. If we can design a shower replacement that avoids full permitting, we’ll tell you. If HVHZ requirements make a full permit unavoidable, we’ll show you exactly why. Call (844) 665-0162 to walk through your specific layout.
Yes, but only with impact-rated glass or an approved protection system in the same wet area. Standard frameless enclosures from non-certified manufacturers fail Broward County inspection. We work with HVHZ-rated glass suppliers and document every Product Approval number for the county. If your bathroom has an exterior window, that window must also be impact-rated before the enclosure can pass. This is a common stumbling block for contractors unfamiliar with county requirements. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll verify enclosure compliance for your specific design.
