Bathroom remodeling in Ocala, FL

A bathroom remodel in Ocala is one of the most useful projects you can put into a home. It is a small room, but it holds more trades per square foot than any other: plumbing, electrical, ventilation, waterproofing, tile, glass, cabinetry and carpentry, all packed into a space where a mistake turns into a leak inside a wall. That is why it pays to have one licensed general contractor responsible for the whole job.

Pro Specialty Services remodels bathrooms across Ocala and Marion County under Florida certified general contractor license CGC1538852. We plan the room with you, pull the permits, coordinate the licensed plumber and electrician and build it to last.

Bathroom remodel options in Ocala

• Full bathroom remodel. Down to the studs: new shower or tub, vanity, toilet, lighting, ventilation, flooring and finishes, with the layout changed when it helps.
• Tile shower replacement. An old tile or fiberglass shower replaced with a properly waterproofed tile shower, niche and glass.
• Tub-to-shower conversion. A tub you no longer use becomes a walk-in shower. Our walk-in shower conversion page covers low-threshold and curbless options in detail.
• Vanity and fixture updates. New vanity, top, faucets, mirror and lighting for a room whose layout already works.
• Primary suite remodel. Larger baths with a separate shower and tub, double vanity and a reworked closet connection.

Bathroom waterproofing and ventilation in Ocala homes

The part of a bathroom remodel that matters most is the part you never see. A tile shower is not waterproof by itself; grout and tile let moisture through. What keeps water out of the walls and subfloor is the waterproofing layer behind the tile and under the shower floor, carefully sloped to the drain and sealed at every seam, corner and pipe. We build the waterproofing system first and flood-test the shower pan before tile goes on.

Ventilation is the other half. Ocala's humid summers mean a bathroom without a properly sized, ducted exhaust fan grows mildew on the ceiling and peels paint around the window. We size the fan to the room and duct it outside, not into the attic.

Many homes outside the city water system are on private wells, and well water can leave mineral buildup on glass and fixtures. We talk through glass coatings, fixture finishes and tile choices that are easier to keep clean when your water is hard.

Bathroom remodel permits in Ocala and Marion County

Moving a toilet, shower drain or vanity, adding circuits or lighting, or changing walls makes a bathroom remodel permitted work. Inside city limits the permit comes from the City of Ocala; in unincorporated areas it comes from Marion County Building Safety, which requires plan review for residential alterations and the permit to be posted before work starts. Plumbing and electrical are done by Florida-licensed trade contractors under their own permits, and we schedule and supervise them. We schedule the inspections and keep the job moving between them. More detail on which office handles what is in our Ocala remodeling FAQ.

Bathroom remodel cost and timeline in Ocala

The cost of a bathroom remodel depends on the size of the room, whether plumbing moves, the shower or tub you choose, the tile and how much of it, the vanity and countertop, glass, lighting and what turns up when the old finishes come out. Call for today's price, or book a design visit and we will put the scope and allowances in a written estimate.

On timing, a full bathroom remodel usually runs a few weeks on site once permits and materials are in hand, with tile and the shower pan setting the pace. A simpler vanity and fixture update is much quicker. Your written estimate includes a realistic schedule, and we keep you informed if anything changes. If this is your only bathroom, tell us at the design visit and we will plan the sequence around keeping you functional.
