Updating Bathrooms From the Snowbird Era

Plenty of the bathroom remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes we are asked about involves rooms that have not changed in decades. The city grew fast: its population went from 10,577 in 1970 to 25,426 in 1980, more than doubling in ten years, and the area first drew retirees and snowbirds. Bathrooms from that era often still have original pink or green tile, low vanities and tubs with sliding doors. They often still work, but they are hard to clean and hard to step into.

Condo owners: start with your association

Roughly half of Lauderdale Lakes homes are rented rather than owned (Census estimates put owner occupancy at 47.6%). If you own a condo unit, the association is part of your project from day one. Under Florida's condominium law, section 718.113, a unit owner may not do anything that would harm the safety or soundness of the common elements, and material alterations to common elements must follow the declaration's approval process. In practice, boards usually want to know:

Whether any plumbing risers or shared walls will be touched
How the new shower will be waterproofed so water does not reach the unit below
Working hours, elevator use and debris removal
Proof of insurance

We prepare a written scope you can hand to your manager, and we schedule only after you have approval.

Getting the most from a modest budget

With a median household income around $50,006 and a median owner-occupied value of $214,100, most owners here want results without overspending. We help you put money where it counts: 1. Tub-to-shower conversions are often the single biggest daily improvement, especially for older residents. 2. Bathroom vanity replacement can modernize a room in a day or two without touching tile. 3. Bathroom tile and flooring fixes cracked or loose tile and gets rid of worn grout. 4. A full bathroom remodel is the right call when there is hidden water damage or the layout simply does not work.

Safer bathrooms for longtime residents

Census estimates show 19.4% of residents are 65 or older, and in 2020 about one in eight households (12.6%) was someone 65 or older living alone. Accessible and aging-in-place bathrooms with grab bars, a low-entry walk-in shower and a handheld spray can make a real difference in whether someone can keep living independently.

Climate that is hard on old grout

Lauderdale Lakes has a tropical rainforest climate, bordering tropical monsoon. Year-round warmth and humidity speed up mildew in old grout and caulk and cause swelling in older vanity cabinets. New work should include a proper waterproofing membrane and an exhaust fan that vents outside.

Lauderdale Lakes Questions

What will my Lauderdale Lakes condo association ask before a bathroom remodel?

Usually a description of the work, whether plumbing or shared walls are affected, how waterproofing will protect the unit below, working hours and the contractor's insurance. Rules vary by building, so get your association's remodel policy first. We write a scope that answers those questions.

Can I keep my 1970s tub and just replace the tile?

Sometimes. If the tub is in good shape and the walls behind it are dry, retiling around it is possible. Often, though, older tubs are chipped or the wall behind the tile has absorbed water for years. We check before recommending either route.

Is a tub-to-shower conversion a good idea for an older parent?

For many families it is the most useful change they make. Removing the high tub wall, adding a low-entry shower, a seat and grab bars makes daily bathing safer. We can add blocking for more grab bars later.
