Westwood Lakes isn’t a dry-lot suburb. The lakes that give this community its name saturate the soil and push groundwater against concrete block foundations. That changes how we waterproof a shower, where we set the vanity, and why we insist on pulling permits even for work that looks simple from the outside. A bathroom remodel here is never just swapping tile. It’s opening a wall in a house built before the 2002 Florida Building Code and finding what 30 or 40 years of Tampa Bay humidity has done behind the drywall.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Westwood Lakes’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Homeowners in Westwood Lakes call us after they’ve already been through a bad remodel, or after they’ve gotten three verbal estimates that all fell apart once the crew showed up. We write the price down first. The number you approve before we start is the number on the invoice, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backs it in writing. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so the person at your door is the person we described on the phone. That matters in Westwood Lakes, where most of the housing stock is single-family CBS construction from the late 1970s through the 1990s. These homes hide specifics: cloth-wrapped wiring, undersized tub framing, and slab edges with no vapor barrier. Trevor Nash has walked enough of these jobs to know what the inspector will flag before the inspector shows up.

Dispatching and scheduling for Westwood Lakes is coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, with local crews serving the community directly. A live person answers our phone 24/7. No voicemail maze. When you call (936) 259-2607, you get a real answer and a real arrival window.

Walk In Shower in Westwood Lakes

A walk in shower in Westwood Lakes changes more than the look of the bathroom. It changes how the room handles water, which matters in a community where seasonal storms dump concentrated rainfall onto flat, poorly draining ground and the water table sits high. Most of the homes we work on were built before current waterproofing standards existed, so when we frame a walk-in shower we start with the substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind the tile, and we don’t skip a vapor barrier at the slab edge. That’s where Westwood Lakes humidity and flooding find their way into a block wall and rot everything from behind.

Curbless showers on slab

Many Westwood Lakes homes sit on concrete slab, which makes a curbless walk-in shower possible but not automatic. The slab often isn’t recessed enough to slope the shower floor properly without adding a raised bed or modifying the slab itself. We check the existing elevation before we quote, because the fix changes the price significantly.

What it costs

Walk-in shower installation in Westwood Lakes runs $4,500 – $12,000. A shower replacement, where we’re swapping the pan and walls without moving plumbing, runs $3,000 – $8,500. The wider range reflects what’s behind the wall: if we find undersized framing or failed waterproofing, we write the additional rough-in and framing into a signed change order before we touch it. Nothing gets added to your invoice without your signature first.

Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Westwood Lakes

Bathroom remodeling companies in Westwood Lakes aren’t all the same, and the difference shows up during the permit review. A lot of contractors quote the job assuming it’ll sail through Hillsborough County permitting. In Westwood Lakes, lots bordering the lakes often carry FEMA Zone AE or Zone X-500 flood designations. That means even a bathroom remodel that opens a wall can trigger an elevation certificate review before the permit is issued. A company that doesn’t know this will quote you a number and a timeline that can’t survive the first week. We know it, because we’ve been through it.

Permit and elevation reviews

If your home borders one of the lakes, the county may require an elevation certificate before approving the permit. That review can reshape the project scope: first-floor finish elevation changes sometimes become mandatory, and that moves both the budget and the schedule. We handle the paperwork and the coordination with the county, so you’re not chasing down a surveyor on your own.

Trevor’s approach to the unknown

Trevor Nash opens every Westwood Lakes bathroom remodel with an inspection mindset, not a sales one. We assume the walls will reveal something. When they do, we photograph it, explain it in plain English, and price the fix before we proceed. You approve the change order, or you don’t, but either way the decision stays in your hands.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood Lakes

We install fixtures and surfaces from brands with warranties that outlast ours: Kohler and Moen faucets and shower valves, Cambria and Silestone quartz for vanity tops, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry for vanities and linen storage. When a manufacturer stands behind the product for life, and we stand behind the installation for 365 days, you get two layers of coverage. We keep a stocked inventory of common replacement parts for the brands we service, so a warranty call in Westwood Lakes doesn’t wait two weeks on a backordered cartridge. If we installed it, we can usually fix it the same week.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Westwood Lakes Homes

• Cloth-wrapped wiring behind the vanity. Homes built in the late 1970s and 1980s often have aluminum or cloth-wrapped branch circuits. Once the wall is open and the inspector sees it, current code requires replacement, and that’s a line item you need in writing before the job starts.
• Undersized framing around the tub. Older CBS homes in Westwood Lakes were framed to hold up drywall and basic tile, not the heavy stone or large-format tile homeowners choose today. The load-bearing review during rough-in flags it, which means a reframe mid-project unless we’ve built an allowance into the contract.
• Slab-edge moisture wicking. With a high water table and frequent seasonal flooding, moisture moves under the slab and up into the block walls. Without a proper vapor barrier, a new shower and vanity rot from behind within a couple of seasons. We see this constantly.
• No permit pulled on a previous remodel. A surprising number of Westwood Lakes bathrooms were remodeled at some point without a permit. When we open the wall and find unpermitted plumbing or electrical, the new permit triggers a review of the old work, which can expand the scope. We handle that conversation honestly and early.
