Bathroom Remodel in Odessa, FL
Built for Florida. Not just "good enough." Every bathroom we build is engineered for the humidity, not despite it.
Odessa is our home base, and we know the area inside and out. Homes in Keystone, Cheval, and the Lake Fern corridor sit on rolling terrain with large lots, and many were built in the 1990s and early 2000s with master bathrooms that no longer meet modern standards. Pasco County permitting applies to all Odessa properties, and the rolling topography affects drainage routing for ground-floor plumbing modifications. Drome Contracting delivers bathroom remodels across Odessa with waterproof membrane behind every tile surface, ventilation engineered for Florida humidity, and the attention to detail that comes from working in the community where we live. License CGC1515971, clear, itemized contracts.

What You Get
What's Included
Waterproof Membrane — Every Tile Surface
We apply a waterproof membrane behind every tiled wall and floor before any tile goes up. This is the step most contractors skip. We do not.
Plumbing and Electrical Permits
Tub-to-shower conversions, fixture relocations, and new ventilation all require permits in Pasco County. We pull every one under CGC1515971.
Proper Ventilation Sizing
Florida bathrooms need ventilation sized at minimum 1 CFM per square foot. We spec and install exhaust fans that actually move moisture out.
Full Demo to Studs When Needed
When existing tile hides moisture damage, we remove it all, assess the studs and subfloor, repair what we find, then waterproof before rebuilding.
County Inspection Passed
Pasco County plumbing and electrical inspections passed before the job closes. Certificate of completion provided with your permit records.

Florida bathrooms fail when contractors use drywall instead of cement board, skip the membrane, and undersize the fan. We do none of those things.
We Find Hidden Damage Before It Gets Worse
Demo in Odessa bathrooms regularly uncovers mold on drywall, rotted framing behind showers, and termite damage. We document and repair it — not cover it up.

FAQ
Common Questions
Why does Drome Contracting know Odessa so well?
Odessa is where we are based. Our office is on Keystone Manor Road, and we have completed bathroom remodels throughout Keystone, Cheval, and the Lake Fern corridor. We know the Pasco County permitting process, the HOA requirements for each community, and the specific soil and drainage conditions that affect plumbing work in this area.
What are the most popular bathroom upgrades in Odessa?
Odessa homeowners most frequently request master bathroom expansions, walk-in shower conversions with frameless glass, and dual-vanity upgrades. Heated flooring and freestanding tubs are increasingly popular in the Cheval and Keystone communities. Every project includes waterproof membrane and properly sized ventilation.
Does the rolling terrain in Odessa affect bathroom plumbing?
It can. Ground-floor plumbing on sloped lots requires careful drain slope calculations to maintain proper flow. Exterior vent terminations must also account for grade changes. Our familiarity with Odessa topography means we address these details during design rather than discovering them during construction.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Odessa?
Standard remodels take 2-3 weeks. Full renovations with layout changes take 4-6 weeks depending on scope and Pasco County inspection scheduling.
Why is waterproofing so important in Florida bathrooms?
Florida humidity finds every shortcut. Without proper waterproof membrane behind tile, moisture penetrates the wall cavity and causes mold growth. We waterproof behind every tile surface.
Can you make a bathroom ADA-accessible?
Yes. Walk-in showers, grab bars, wider doorways, comfort-height toilets, and roll-under vanities. We build aging-in-place bathrooms that are functional and attractive.
