Bathroom Remodeling
Your bathrooms get used throughout the day every single day. The confined space forces you to face the realities of the room-good or bad-on a regular basis. When you love the style, function, and beauty of your bathroom features, using the space is an energizing and uplifting experience. But when aspects of your bathroom annoy you, the negative feelings tend to linger, subconsciously dragging you down.
At Marcela Montoya Remodeling, we want you to have a bathroom that refreshes and invigorates you every time you set foot in the room. And we know how to make it happen.
The team at Marcela Montoya Remodeling can optimize the functional space in your bathroom while incorporating design elements that reflect your unique style. We know a Fort Lauderdale custom bathroom remodel project can be intimidating, but when you partner with a contractor you trust to perform superior work on budget, you can feel confident that both the process and the end result will meet or exceed your expectations.
Worry-Free Bathroom Renovation
In over two decades of experience as a Fort Lauderdale general contractor, Marcela Montoya has built a reputation for outstanding quality and service. You won't see our team urging you to buy something on billboards or in TV commercials because most of our business comes through referrals from satisfied clients. We've seen the way other contractors operate, and we chose long ago to take a different approach. Instead of focusing on profit margins, we channel our efforts into delivering beautiful work and keeping our clients happy.
We manage everything from the overall concept down to the tiniest details so that you can have the bathroom of your dreams without worry or stress.
Step-by-Step Guidance Throughout the Process
When remodeling your bathroom, every decision is crucial. It is essential to develop the functionality of the space, incorporate the features you want, and use finishes that showcase your taste and lifestyle. It can be hard to understand the array of options and how to choose the right elements for your home.
At Marcela Montoya Remodeling, we approach design concepts with architectural precision, and we take the time to help you envision the best use of your space and how to advantageously incorporate the elements you want and need to have in your bathroom. Our extensive experience enables us to guide you logically through the decision-making process so that your design flows together organically. While we make the full range of choices available, we don't overwhelm you with options all at once but help you evaluate possibilities and narrow down choices based on your personal needs and goals.
Work is completed to your satisfaction at each step in the process-our job is not finished until you are happy.
Vision: How Do You Want Your Bathroom to Look, Feel, and Function?
To ensure that your new bathroom meets your expectations, we work with your goals in mind. So, we start by sitting down with you to discern what is most important to you so that we can develop a design that meets all the requirements. We assess your space, whether working within the existing footprint of your home or expanding the area with an addition. Then we can show you suggestions of how your bathroom could look and perform.
While essential functions will be ensured, this is the time to consider features such as shower rooms, freestanding bathtubs, heated floors, elegant storage solutions, dual vanities, bidets, and other potential features. It is also important to consider ways to enhance natural and manmade light while maintaining privacy, such as adding smart glass windows that can be dimmed at the touch of a button.
Design: We Develop Detailed Designs to Achieve Your Goals
Once we've reached an understanding of your desires for your new bathroom, our design team gets down to the detailed business of drawing up plans to turn your vision to reality. This involves taking an array of precise measurements, and checking repeatedly to ensure that everything will fit correctly and the room is optimized for comfortable daily use. Paying careful attention to every detail in the design phase helps us avoid potential mistakes that would lead to delays later.
Once we have the designs prepared for your Fort Lauderdale custom bathroom remodel, then we review everything carefully with you to see whether you want to make any changes or adjustments. This is your bathroom, and we want it to fulfill your vision.
Options: Selecting the Perfect Options for Your New Bathroom
With designs in place, then we guide you through the process of selecting the right pieces to complete the picture. All components will be top quality with full warranties, but you will have an array of styles, colors, and manufacturers to select from so we want you to have all the information you need to make the choices that are right for your home. If you wish, our design team can help you evaluate and compare options based on our experience with the practical application of various materials and components. For instance, if you want heated floors, we know how various natural stones and ceramic surfaces conduct the heat. Some of the best options required a certain level of expertise in installation, which is why we work with a team of specialized artisans with the skills to install challenging components with flawless precision.
To get the components you want, it is often necessary to search numerous vendors and place custom orders. Our knowledge of suppliers and their operation enables us to locate materials and avoid unnecessary delays in deliveries.
Execution: Building Your Dream Bathroom
With your materials ready, we can begin the construction of your new bathroom. We know that having workers in your home-and giving up the use of a bathroom-is an extreme inconvenience. Our team schedules projects to minimize disruption to your home. And we are always respectful of your family. We work efficiently, neatly, and with consideration, but we will also keep you informed of progress and allow you to inspect work under development.
Satisfaction: We're Not Satisfied Until You Are
For over 20 years, we have operated by Marcela Montoya's guiding principle, "Do an excellent job and do it right the first time." But if something has not been completed to your satisfaction, then we will undertake the changes necessary to make it right.
Our goal is to ensure that you are pleased with the entire process, from design and planning, through installation, clean up, and product performance in the years ahead. We are not just building a bathroom-we are building a relationship you can count on.
Experience You Can Trust

FAQs About Custom Bathroom Remodeling
We love to answer questions directly so that we can give you answers tailored to your specific situation. But to start the thinking process, here are basic answers to some of the questions we get most often.
How Long Will It Take to Remodel My Bathroom?
Every project is different, so there is no single answer. While bathrooms are usually smaller than most other rooms in your home, inch for inch they contain features that require more effort to change. Moving walls, plumbing, electrical lines, and other elements necessitates careful planning and orchestration. Work with tile and stone is very labor intensive and requires intricate cutting and layout work to get the polished look you deserve.
After we've designed your new bathroom, we will be able to provide an estimate of the time necessary to complete the project. To avoid inconveniencing you and your family, we will usually wait until all ordered supplies are present before beginning work so that we won't have to delay work waiting for materials.
Do Bathroom Remodeling Components Go on Sale at Certain Times of the Year?
While you will find certain companies offering sales and discounts periodically, these are carefully calculated schemes to pressure you into buying products that they have in excessive quantities. The contractors that are most in demand do not offer sales or discounts because they have enough business that they don't need to rely on tricks to elevate sales numbers.
At Marcela Montoya Remodeling, we produce quality work for a fair price that is not artificially inflated one week so that we can offer a "sale" the next. We work with suppliers who provide top notch merchandise at a reasonable price. Let's be honest, we don't have time for those types of "discount" games and neither do you. We will quote you a fair price and keep to the budget.
What Happens During a Free Consultation?
Marcela uses the consultation session as an opportunity to learn about your goals and desires for your bathroom and then provide some suggestions. She may sketch out a design concept or two using her architectural training. But unlike other firms that sell pre-designed plans for remodel projects, we custom build designs from scratch. That means that you will not walk away from an initial consultation with a full set of drawings like you might get from a company who has packaged designs ready to go.
In order to prepare a detailed design with technical specifications, we need to take intricate measurements and invest hours in labor to create professional drawings, and we charge for the time involved. The cost is applied toward your project if you use our contracting services.
Do We Need to Wait for Inspections and Permits?
While it is true that it takes time to pull permits and wait for inspections, it is worth the investment of time to ensure that the job is done right. Inspections protect you as the homeowner, to ensure that the work plumbing, electric, and other critical components meet current safety and quality standards.
Do You Handle "One Day" Bathroom Makeovers?
While it may seem very appealing to have your bathroom "transformed" in a single day, it is simply not possible. Companies that advertise quick bathroom makeovers are simply throwing a new cover on top of old problems, and the shiny new finishes will soon be tarnished when the underlying cracks, leaks, or other flaws continue to wreak havoc under the surface.
We believe in providing quality work, and that means doing everything right from the ground up. Our remodel projects are not cheap-we generally only accept specialty and general contracting projects priced at $50,000 and up so that we can guarantee our clients are receiving products and workmanship designed to last for decades. In our experience, an investment in quality is far better than wasting funds on a cheap disguise that will soon wear away.
