Transform Your Arlington Home with Premium Renovations by Florida Mud Masters
Arlington grew fast in the years after World War II, and many of its streets are still lined with the single-story ranch homes built during that boom. They’re solidly built homes on good lots, but the kitchens and bathrooms were designed for a different era. Florida Mud Masters helps Arlington homeowners keep what’s great about these houses and update the rooms that feel dated.
What Mid-Century Arlington Homes Usually Need
- Closed-off galley kitchens. Removing or opening a wall between the kitchen and living or dining room is one of our most common Arlington projects. We check whether the wall is load-bearing and handle the framing and permits properly.
- Small, original bathrooms. Many still have the original tile, cast-iron tubs and tight layouts. A tub-to-shower conversion or a smarter vanity layout can make a small bathroom feel much bigger.
- Old flooring over concrete slabs. Terrazzo, old vinyl or worn carpet can be replaced with tile or luxury vinyl plank. Sometimes the original terrazzo is worth saving, and we’ll tell you honestly if it is.
- Aging plumbing behind the walls. When we open walls during a remodel, it’s the right time to address old supply and drain lines before new tile goes up.

Arlington Remodeling FAQs
Can you remove the wall between my kitchen and living room?
Often, yes. If the wall is load-bearing, it can usually be replaced with a properly sized beam. We’ll evaluate it during your free estimate and handle the permit with the City of Jacksonville.
Should I keep my terrazzo floors?
It depends on their condition and your style. We can look at them with you and talk through covering them versus replacing the flooring around them.
