The average cost to remodel a bathroom in Tampa in 2026 ranges from $10,000 to $65,000 depending on scope and materials. Unlicensed contractors cannot pull permits in Florida, which means no inspection, no proof of code compliance, and potential insurance claim denials. Tile type, plumbing changes, and neighborhood expectations all affect your final price. Always get an itemized contract before you sign anything.

Bathroom remodels return a higher percentage at resale (~54%) and cost less upfront. Kitchen remodels carry more buyer emotional weight and stronger absolute dollar gains. Whichever you choose, permitted work by a licensed contractor sets your ROI ceiling. Here's how to pick the right project for your home.

Pulling a permit for your Tampa home remodel is not optional — it is what protects you at resale, keeps your insurance valid, and proves the work was done right. Skipping it to save time or money almost always costs more in the end. Before you sign with any contractor, ask who pulls the permit, whether the license is current, and what the timeline looks like with city approval included. Novacore Builders (CBC1269188) handles all of this for you. Call (813) 434-3834 or visit n
