Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor is the licensed professional who manages the entire rebuild of your bathroom, from demolition to final caulk, and Elmstead Remodeling Jacksonville has been filling that role for families across Duval County for two decades. You need one when the scope moves beyond swapping a faucet: when tile comes up, when plumbing relocates, when a tub becomes a walk-in shower, when a jack-and-jill bathroom stops working for a growing family. Our bathroom remodels in Jacksonville start at $9,000 and most full projects land between $12,000 and $28,000 depending on size, waterproofing method, and fixture selection. Graham Stein, who leads Elmstead Remodeling Jacksonville, walks every proposal personally before it reaches you.
Written Price, Before Anything Starts
You receive a written line-item price before demolition begins. That price is fixed. If we uncover rot behind a shower wall, we show you a photo, explain what changed, and give you a written change order before we touch it. No work happens on a surprise basis.
Background-Checked Crews You Can Recognize
Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked and wears an Elmstead uniform. We tell you who is coming, when they will arrive, and what they will do that day. Your kids will know them by name by the end of the project.
Walk In Shower
A Walk In Shower replaces the traditional tub or cramped shower stall with an open, curbless or low-threshold shower that you step into without climbing over a lip, and it is the single most-requested feature in Jacksonville bathroom remodels. Homeowners choose it when someone in the family has mobility limits, when a tub is collecting toys instead of taking baths, or when the old fiberglass unit has cracked and leaked into the subfloor. Walk-in shower installations in Jacksonville run $4,500 to $12,000 at Elmstead, including Schluter waterproofing membrane as standard on every job, not as an upgrade. We build on the Schluter system because it is a named product you can research, with a transferable warranty that outlives most marriages to a caulk bead.
Curbless Entry and Waterproofing
A curbless shower needs a floor that slopes correctly and a waterproofing system that runs wall-to-wall without seams. We use Schluter Kerdi membrane and pre-sloped trays, and we flood-test the pan for 24 hours before tile goes down. If a leak exists, we find it before your ceiling does.
Benches, Niches, and Grab-Ready Blocking
We frame blocking behind the walls for future grab bars and fold-down seats, even if you do not install them this year. Recessed niches hold shampoo bottles without rusty wire racks. Every choice gets written into the plan before demo starts so nothing surprises you mid-project.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Jacksonville range from solo operators who sub out every trade to general contractors who employ their own crews, and the difference shows up in how the house looks at 4:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. Elmstead Remodeling Jacksonville operates as part of the Cedarwell network, which means every location is independently owned and operated but holds to the same Cedarwell Care Promise: drop cloths down before the first tile comes up, shoe covers at the door, quiet tools during rest hours, and a photo of the clean-up before anyone leaves. A full bathroom remodel with us runs $9,000 to $28,000 in Jacksonville, with smaller projects starting lower. You will speak with Graham Stein or someone on his team who knows your specific project, not a rotating call center.
Why Families Choose Elmstead Over Cheaper Bids
Families with children and pets hire us because we treat the house as a lived-in home, not a job site. Floors get covered from the entry to the work area. The crew asks before moving a stroller, a dog bed, or a bin of bath toys. If you have a newborn on a nap schedule, we coordinate quiet work around it when we can.
Answering Your Phone Call, Live
When you call (904) 643-6243, a person answers. Not a bot, not a voicemail tree, not a call-back request. Whether it is Tuesday at 2 p.m. or Sunday at midnight, the phone rings and a human picks up. That matters when a pipe bursts behind a wall at 11 p.m. on a holiday.
Bathroom Renovation
A Bathroom Renovation is the broader project of modernizing and reconfiguring an existing bathroom, often including layout changes, new plumbing runs, updated electrical, and rebuilt surfaces, and it is the right choice when a Jacksonville home’s bath has not been touched since the original build. Homes in neighborhoods like San Marco, Riverside, and Mandarin were often built with single-vanity bathrooms that worked for 1960s families but do not work for two parents getting ready with three kids. Elmstead Renovation projects typically run $9,000 to $28,000 in Jacksonville. The price depends on how much of the room we rebuild: a cosmetic refresh lands at the low end, while moving the toilet stack or growing the footprint pushes toward the top.
What a Jacksonville Renovation Includes
A full renovation covers demolition, flooring, wall tile, paint, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, fixtures, and trim. We pull permits when the scope requires them, and our crews include licensed plumbers and electricians, not one guy guessing at a code book. Inspections get scheduled and passed before walls close back up.
Ventilation and Jacksonville Humidity
Northeast Florida humidity punishes bathrooms without proper exhaust. We size the vent fan to the room’s cubic footage, route the duct to an exterior termination (not into the attic), and seal the soffit penetration. A properly vented bath means less mildew on the ceiling and longer life on the paint.
Small Bathroom Remodel
A Small Bathroom Remodel focuses on guest baths, powder rooms, and hall baths under roughly 50 square feet, where every inch of space must earn its presence. Jacksonville homeowners choose us for these when the guest bath has peeling wallpaper from 1987 or when the powder room off the kitchen embarrasses them during dinner parties. Bathroom Remodeling in Orange Park and nearby areas run $5,000 to $12,000 with Elmstead, depending on whether we are working inside the existing footprint or bumping a wall. Even at the low end of that range, the same Cedarwell Care Promise applies: drop cloths, shoe covers, a written price, and a clean-up photo before we leave.
Making a Small Bath Feel Larger
We use wall-hung vanities to keep the floor visible, large-format tile to reduce grout lines, and recessed medicine cabinets to gain storage without a protruding forehead hazard. Lighting gets placed at face height, not just overhead, which flatters everyone who uses the mirror.
Pet-Safe Choices Where They Exist
If you have a senior dog who drinks from the tub or a cat who licks damp surfaces, we choose low-VOC adhesives and grout sealers with your pets in mind. We will name the products we use in writing so you can look them up. Where a pet-safe option exists, we default to it without charging extra.
Shower Remodel
A Shower Remodel replaces the waterproof walls, floor pan, and fixtures of an existing shower while leaving the rest of the bathroom intact, and it is the most efficient way to fix a leaking, stained, or outdated shower in a Jacksonville home. You need this when grout is crumbling and turning orange, when the showerhead dribbles, when the tile has gone from white to rust-streaked, or when the pan flexes underfoot. Shower remodels run $3,000 to $8,500 in Jacksonville at Elmstead. That includes demolition of the old surround, new waterproofing, tile or solid-surface walls, a new valve and trim, and a flood test before we call it done.
Fixing Leaks Before Tile Goes Up
Many Jacksonville showers hide leaks for years before the ceiling below shows a stain. When we open the wall, we photograph the framing and show you exactly what we found, whether it is water damage, termite tunneling, or a vent pipe that was never properly flashed. You approve any repair before we proceed.
Fixtures From Kohler, Moen, and Grohe
We install fixtures from brands you can research by name: Kohler for enduring design, Moen for lifetime-limited cartridges, Grohe for precise temperature control. Your quote names the exact model numbers so there is no “or equivalent” language hiding in the fine print. The manufacturer warranties travel with the finished shower.
Tub to Shower Conversion
A Tub to Shower Conversion removes an existing bathtub and rebuilds the space as a dedicated shower, and it is the most popular Fleming Island Bathroom Remodeling project we do for families with aging parents, limited mobility, or kids who have outgrown bath time. The conversion typically runs $3,500 to $10,000, depending on whether the existing drain location works or needs to be moved, and whether we use tile or a solid-surface wall system. Elmstead handles the whole job in-house: demo, plumbing adjustments, waterproofing, tile or wall panels, glass, and final trim. You get one written price for the entire conversion before we start.
When a Conversion Beats a Rebuild
If your bathroom layout works and the only problem is the tub itself, converting to a shower saves thousands compared to moving walls. The existing footprint often needs no structural change. We reuse the drain location when code allows, which keeps the project faster and the price lower.
Low-Threshold Options for Aging in Place
For seniors staying in their Callahan Bathroom Remodeling area home, we build low-threshold or true curbless showers with slip-resistant tile rated for wet use. We frame blocking for grab bars and consider a fold-down seat. You do not have to decide on the grab bars this year, but the walls will be ready when the time comes.
One Day Bath Remodel
A One Day Bath Remodel is the streamlined process of installing a new tub or shower system over the existing footprint in a single day, and it works best for Jacksonville homeowners who want the function improved without a multi-week construction sequence. The phrase can be misleading from some companies, so we are specific about what it means at Elmstead: a one-day bath remodel typically runs $3,500 to $6,000 and covers a direct replacement of the tub or shower surround, valve, and trim using a pre-manufactured wall system, not moving any plumbing or tile. If your project needs tile, waterproofing, or a drain move, that is not a one-day job and we will tell you so on the first call.
What a One-Day Project Can and Cannot Do
A true one-day remodel replaces an existing tub or shower with a fitted acrylic or solid-surface system. It cannot relocate a drain, add a window, rebuild a rotted subfloor, or install a curbless shower. When you call, we will ask about your current bathroom and tell you honestly whether your goals fit a one-day scope.
The Written Price Applies to One-Day Work Too
Even a one-day job gets a written price before work starts. You will know the exact model of the wall system, the exact trim kit, and the exact total. If the old tub has hidden water damage behind it, we pause and give you a written change order before proceeding. No surprises at the end of a long day.

AfterBrands We Service
We work with cabinet, surface, and fixture lines that let a Jacksonville homeowner verify quality before signing anything. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets appear in our bathroom vanities, with dovetail drawers and soft-close hardware as standard. Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone surfaces show up on vanity tops, where their non-porous quartz stands up to toothpaste, makeup, and the occasional nail-polish spill better than faux-marble laminates. Kohler, Moen, and Grohe supply our faucets, shower valves, and fixtures, chosen for cartridge designs that remain serviceable for decades, not disposable years.
For waterproofing, we standardize on Schluter systems because their Kerdi membrane and Ditra underlayment are engineered products with published specs and transferable warranties. For exteriors touched by a bathroom addition or window replacement, we use James Hardie siding and GAF roofing materials. If you already have a brand preference, we will spec it. If you do not, we will show you three options at three price points and explain the difference in concrete terms, not adjectives.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Soft or flexing floor near the tub or toilet. A bathroom floor that moves underfoot usually means the subfloor has been absorbing water for months. By the time you feel it, the damage is wider than the visible stain, and it will not dry out on its own.
- Grout that stays dark or orange at the base of the shower. That staining is mold feeding on trapped moisture behind the tile. Caulking over it seals the problem in, which accelerates rot. The proper fix is opening the wall, addressing the waterproofing, and rebuilding.
- A ceiling stain on the floor below the bathroom. Active plumbing leaks travel. A brown ring below a bathroom, especially around the toilet flange or tub drain, means water is escaping right now. Waiting turns a fixture repair into a subfloor and drywall rebuild.
- Persistent mildew smell even after cleaning. Your nose is detecting mold in places the bleach cannot reach: inside wall cavities, behind the vanity, under the tub. The source is almost always a ventilation or waterproofing failure, and it will not clear up with better cleaning products.
- A tub or shower that drains slowly despite snaking. Slow drainage after you have cleared the trap points to a belly in the drain line, a broken pipe, or a venting problem. In Jacksonville’s sandy soil, cast-iron pipes from mid-century homes are reaching the end of their service life.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Listen and measure. We start with a conversation about how your family actually uses the bathroom: who is in there at 7 a.m., whether anyone has mobility issues, where the towels currently pile up. Then we measure the space, photograph the existing plumbing and electrical, and send you a written project brief.
- 2
Design and spec. We build a line-item proposal with named products and a fixed price. You will see exact model numbers for faucets, tile, vanity, and fixtures. If you want a second or third option at different price points, we provide them without pressure.
- 3
Protect and prepare. Before demo begins, we lay floor protection from the entry to the work area, tape off doorways with plastic where dust containment matters, and set up a designated tool staging zone. The crew asks before moving anything that belongs to your family, including pet beds and bath toys.
- 4
Build in the right order. Demo first, then rough plumbing and electrical, then inspection, then waterproofing and flood testing, then tile and surfaces, then fixtures and trim. Every trade follows the one before it, and we photograph each stage so you can see what is inside your walls before they close.
- 5
Clean, walk through, and Done Right Promise. We clean the work area, haul debris, and hand you a photo of the finished clean-up. Then Graham Stein walks the project with you. Anything noted stays on a punch list. And your project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Jacksonville?
A full bathroom remodel in Jacksonville typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with a small hall bath landing around $5,000 to $12,000 and a primary bath with a walk-in shower and double vanity pushing toward the top of the range. A tub-to-shower conversion sits between $3,500 and $10,000. A standalone shower remodel runs $3,000 to $8,500. These Jacksonville numbers reflect our market’s labor rates, permit fees, and material costs as of this writing, not a national average that ignores local conditions.
What moves the price: whether plumbing or electrical locations change, the waterproofing system you choose (we standardize on Schluter, which costs more than a vinyl pan liner and lasts decades longer), the tile you select, and whether we are rebuilding a rotted subfloor hidden behind the old tub. What does not move the price after you sign: everything. Your written price is fixed. To avoid overpaying, avoid contractors who price by the day instead of the job, and be suspicious of any bid that will not name the exact waterproofing method. Our free estimate includes the written price, the product list, the timeline, and the permit plan. Call (904) 643-6243 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling in Jacksonville
Bathroom remodeling is the process of rebuilding all or part of a bathroom, including surfaces, fixtures, plumbing, electrical, and ventilation. In Jacksonville, the most common projects are full primary bath rebuilds, small hall bath makeovers, shower replacements, and tub-to-shower conversions. Elmstead handles every scope from a $3,000 shower remodel to a $28,000 full primary suite, always with a written price first. Call (904) 643-6243 to talk through what your bathroom actually needs.
A typical full bathroom remodel takes two to four weeks once materials are on site. Smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion or a one-day bath remodel can finish in one to five days. The timeline depends mostly on tile square footage and whether any plumbing or electrical moves, not on how hard anyone works. We give you a schedule with the written price, and we tell you if anything changes before it changes.
A full bathroom remodel in Jacksonville runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms at $5,000 to $12,000 and walk-in shower installations at $4,500 to $12,000. Your exact number depends on the size of the room, the waterproofing system, the tile and fixtures you choose, and whether any plumbing or framing moves.

Yes, we install and service Kohler, Moen, and Grohe bathroom fixtures throughout Jacksonville, and we name the exact model numbers in your written quote.

Yes, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day at (904) 643-6243 to schedule emergency response for active leaks, sewer backups, or failed water heaters affecting your bathroom. If water is running into a ceiling or wall, shut off the fixture or the main valve and call us. We will walk you through immediate steps and get a technician to you as quickly as the schedule allows.
Every Elmstead project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, for a full year after completion. That covers workmanship for the entire renovation, not just the parts. Manufacturer warranties on named-brand products travel with the finished project as well, so your Schluter waterproofing and Kohler fixtures carry their own published coverage.
You do not need to move furniture or clear shelves; our crew handles that, and they ask before touching anything that belongs to your family. If you have pets, we will plan the work zone so doors stay closed and animals stay safe. It helps to identify a back-up bathroom for the family during the project and to tell us about nap schedules or work-from-home hours so we can plan quiet work around them.
