Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lantana
Bathroom remodeling in Lantana typically runs $9,000 – $28,000 for a full project, with smaller jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Most families we work with in Lantana start with a free in-home estimate, get a written price before any work begins, and have a licensed, background-checked crew handling everything from demo to final inspection. If you’re planning a bathroom update in Hypoluxo Island, along the canals, or anywhere else in Lantana, call us at (728) 203-3270 to schedule a walk-through. We answer the phone with a live person, every time, day or night.
We know Lantana’s housing stock well. Many of the bathrooms we remodel sit in concrete block homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, where salt air and humidity have been working on the walls, plumbing, and framing for decades. That local knowledge changes how we approach a job, especially when a shower wall faces the Intracoastal Waterway. Before we ever set tile, we check for spalling, corroded rebar, and moisture intrusion that a crew from farther inland might miss entirely.
Why Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach Is Lantana’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Our Bathroom Remodeling team has earned a strong local reputation in Lantana by treating every home like it has a family living in it, because it usually does. We bring shoe covers and drop cloths to every job, keep tools quiet during nap hours and after school, and photograph the cleanup before the crew leaves. Those aren’t add-on charges. They’re part of every project, and they’re part of the Cedarwell Care Promise that governs everything we do.
Lantana homeowners often tell us they chose us over other bathroom remodeling companies because of the written price guarantee. Before our crew arrives, you’ll have a line-by-line price in writing. That number does not change unless you ask us to change the scope. No vague estimates, no surprises after demolition starts, no change orders that show up at the end. Graham Stein, who leads our team, insists on that standard for every project in Lantana.
We coordinate scheduling and dispatch from our brand’s South Florida office, but the crews who work in Lantana are local, familiar with the neighborhoods, and easy to reach. Whether you’re on Hypoluxo Island, near Lantana Road, or in a newer community off I-95, we can typically get a crew to you quickly once the estimate is approved. And because we use named-brand materials like Kohler fixtures, Cambria quartz, and Caesarstone countertops, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting and can verify the manufacturer warranties yourself.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Lantana
A walk in shower in Lantana often means replacing a cramped tub with a curbless, easy-access shower that opens up a small bathroom and handles daily humidity better than an old fiberglass unit ever could. The job involves demo, waterproofing, pan installation, tile or solid-surface walls, and fixture installation. In Lantana, our walk-in shower installations typically run $4,500 – $12,000, depending on whether we’re working on a ground-floor slab, needing to move a drain, or rebuilding an exterior wall that’s been touched by salt air.
Corrosion-Resistant Framing and Waterproofing
Near the water, metal studs and plumbing can corrode faster than anyone expects. Before we close up any wall, we inspect for damage and use corrosion-resistant materials where the home sits close to salt spray. A waterproof membrane goes in behind the tile, every time. That’s not an upgrade. It’s what a walk-in shower in a coastal Lantana home needs to last.
Curbless Entries and Aging-in-Place Comfort
Many Lantana homeowners choose a walk-in shower because they want to stay in their home as they get older, or because they have a parent moving in. A curbless entry removes the trip hazard and makes the room easier to clean. We’ll talk through the drainage requirements, the floor slope, and what the permit drawings need to show so the inspection passes the first time.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Lantana
Bathroom remodeling companies in Lantana are not all set up to handle the town’s older coastal homes. We are. A full bathroom remodel with us in Lantana generally runs $9,000 – $28,000, and that range covers everything from a straightforward cosmetic update in a 1980s home to a full gut-and-rebuild on a canal-front property where hidden wall damage changes the scope. We’ve worked on enough Lantana homes to know what’s behind the tile before we swing a hammer.
What Happens After We Find Wall Damage
When we open a wall and find spalling concrete or corroded rebar, we stop and bring in a structural engineer. That has happened on multiple jobs, especially on Hypoluxo Island. We coordinate permits, engineer sign-off, and the repair work, then continue with the remodel once the wall is sound. You’ll see every line item on the updated written price before we proceed.
Working Within Your Home’s Schedule
Most Lantana families can’t live without their primary bathroom for weeks. We sequence work to keep one bathroom usable as long as possible, keep the workspace clean at the end of every day, and ask before we move anything that isn’t ours. Kids, pets, school schedules, and work-from-home hours are part of the planning conversation, not an afterthought.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We install and service fixtures and surfaces from brands that homeowners can research by name: Kohler and Moen for faucets and showerheads, Caesarstone and Silestone for quartz countertops, Schluter for waterproofing, and KraftMaid or Wellborn for vanities. Because we stock common replacement parts for these brands and coordinate directly with our local suppliers, we can often get materials to Lantana quickly, even when a plumbing rough-in changes the fixture spec mid-project. The manufacturer warranties on these products travel with your finished bathroom, independent of our own 365-Day Done Right Promise, which says if the work isn’t done right, we make it right.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-spray corrosion on plumbing and metal studs. Homes along the Intracoastal and on Hypoluxo Island get constant salt air. We’ve opened walls in Lantana bathrooms and found metal studs that looked like lacework. Replacing them before tiling prevents premature failure of the new backer board and fixtures.
- Spalling concrete on ocean-facing block walls. When salt water migrates into concrete block, it corrodes the rebar inside. The rebar expands, the concrete cracks and falls away. If your new walk-in shower is going against that wall, the wall has to be repaired and waterproofed first, or your new tile will fail within a few years.
- HOA rules blocking window and vent changes. Newer master-planned communities in Lantana often restrict exterior wall penetrations, window sizes, and vent terminations. We check the HOA architectural guidelines before drawings are submitted so the permit application doesn’t get bounced back.
- Builder warranty conflicts from unpermitted work. If a bathroom remodel changes plumbing or waterproofing without a permit, or uses a contractor who isn’t approved by the original builder, the home’s builder warranty can be voided for those systems. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep the paper trail your warranty requires.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Lantana
If you’re swapping a vanity, faucet, or toilet in the same location, and not opening walls or touching the plumbing rough-in, Lantana’s building department generally does not require a permit. The moment you move a drain, open a wall, alter the waterproofing, or change an exterior penetration, you need a permit and an inspection. We pull permits for every job that requires one and our final inspection sign-off becomes part of your project file. If you’re unsure whether your remodel crosses that line, call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll tell you straight.
Read your original builder contract before you hire anyone, then call the builder’s warranty department and ask what they require. Many builders in Lantana’s newer communities require that any work touching plumbing, waterproofing, or exterior walls be performed by a licensed contractor with permits and inspections. If you skip the permit, or use an unlicensed handyman, you can void the warranty on systems you didn’t even touch. We’ll coordinate with your builder, pull the permits, and keep every inspection record so the warranty stays intact.
Look for a contractor who has worked on Lantana waterfront homes before and knows to check for salt intrusion behind the tile before quoting the job. Ask whether they inspect for corroded rebar and spalling, whether they use corrosion-resistant framing materials, and whether they’ll stop and bring in a structural engineer if they find wall damage. We recently remodeled a canal-front bathroom in Lantana’s Hypoluxo Island neighborhood where a walk-in shower was planned against an ocean-facing block wall. During rough-in, our crew found spalling and corroded rebar. We coordinated with a structural engineer, obtained the necessary permits, and installed corrosion-resistant framing and a waterproof membrane before setting the new Kohler fixtures and Cambria quartz vanity top. The final inspection confirmed the wall met current high-velocity hurricane zone standards, and the homeowner’s builder warranty remained intact.
It depends on your community’s architectural guidelines. Many newer HOAs in Lantana restrict changes to window size, style, and placement on any exterior wall, including bathrooms. Some also restrict vent terminations and any new penetration through the block. We check the HOA requirements before we draw plans so you’re not paying for a design the board will reject. In many cases, we can increase light with a solar tube, a larger mirror with layered lighting, or a skylight that doesn’t require an exterior wall change.
Because the walls are often compromised in ways a house west of I-95 never sees. Salt air and storm-driven moisture work their way into concrete block, corrode the rebar, and cause spalling. Fixing that before tiling adds engineering, permit time, and materials. The waterproofing and corrosion-resistant framing we use on coastal Lantana homes also costs more than standard drywall and steel studs. It’s not markup. It’s what it takes to make the remodel last in Lantana’s marine environment.
