Hilton Head Facts for Bathroom Remodeling
- Bathrooms that are 35 years old or more
- The median home in the town limits was built in 1987, and about 6 in 10 (60.5%) went up before 1990 (as of 2024). That is why tub-to-shower conversions and full gut remodels are common island jobs.
- Condos and villas
- About 34 in 100 housing units are in buildings of five or more units (as of 2024). In those, an association can set the hours, the elevator booking and the water shut-off schedule, so ask before you book a plumber.
- Homes used part of the year
- About 25 in 100 housing units (7,600) are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use (as of 2024), so most companies here are used to remodeling while an owner is away.
- Three companies on Capital Dr and Main St
- Southern Services (10 Capital Dr) is 1.3 mi from Shelter Cove, RCH Construction (90 Capital Dr) is 1.4 mi, and Hilton Head Remodeling (200 Main St) is 1.7 mi from the island convenience center.
- A showroom near the convenience center
- Hilton Head Kitchen & Tile Studio on Beach City Rd and Tropical Builders on Hunter Rd are each within 0.5 mi of the island convenience center.
- License and permit
- Hilton Head Remodeling says it holds a South Carolina General Contractors License and a Residential Builders License. The Town of Hilton Head Island requires a permit for plumbing and electrical work and changes to an existing building; call its building staff at 843-341-4757.

Bathroom Remodeling in Hilton Head, SC: What a Remodel Covers
A bathroom remodel in Hilton Head, SC, ranges from a quick tub-to-shower conversion to a full gut. LowCountry Bath Renewal says most of its remodels are done in 1 to 2 days. Hilton Head Remodeling and Southern Services list bathroom remodeling among full remodeling services, and Studio Spinola designs the vanity and cabinetry with the room. Hilton Head Kitchen & Tile Studio sells tile and fixtures from its Beach City Rd showroom.
Ask each bathroom remodeling company for a written proposal that lists demolition, plumbing, tile, the vanity, fixtures and the permit as separate lines, and ask who orders the tile and the vanity, since a late special order is the common delay. For a custom vanity or linen cabinet, see kitchen and bathroom cabinets on Hilton Head. For kitchen work that goes with it, see kitchen remodeling on Hilton Head.
Bathroom Remodels in Hilton Head Condos, Villas and Second Homes
About 34 in 100 island housing units are in buildings of five or more units (as of 2024), and about 25 in 100 are second homes. For a condo bathroom remodel, ask the association before you book: what hours work is allowed, whether the elevator or a loading zone must be reserved, and when the water can be shut off. Hilton Head Kitchen & Tile Studio’s reviewers describe finished condo remodels, and Southern Services lists absentee owner services for owners who live elsewhere.
If you are away, ask the company who lets the crew in, who receives deliveries and how it sends photos. Communities such as Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, Shipyard and Hilton Head Plantation each have their own rules for gate passes and contractor hours; ask the property manager or association for the current list.
Permits and Licenses for a Bathroom Remodel on Hilton Head Island
The Town of Hilton Head Island says a building permit is required for changes to an existing building and for any electrical, plumbing, or heating and cooling work. Painting, new carpet or wallpaper does not need one unless it is part of a larger renovation. Moving a shower drain or adding a circuit is plumbing and electrical work. Call the Town’s building staff at 843-341-4757 if you are not sure, and ask the company who pulls the permit.
Ask the contractor for a state license number and check it on the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation lookup at llr.sc.gov. Hilton Head Remodeling says it holds a General Contractors License and a Residential Builders License, and is a member of the Hilton Head Area Home Builders Association.
