Bathroom Remodeling in Florida City
From a tub-to-shower conversion to a full gut, the part that matters is the part you will never see: the waterproofing and the rough plumbing behind the tile.
Bathroom work in Florida City
Florida City was flattened by Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and largely rebuilt afterward, so its housing is a mix of post-1992 CBS homes and older stock bordering farmland, with projects often tied to roof replacement and insurance requirements.
Plumbing and building permits pulled by PSR. Unincorporated Miami-Dade (Kendall included) permits through the county’s RER Building division, while incorporated cities such as Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables and Hialeah run their own building departments — all enforcing the Florida Building Code’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions.
Bathrooms fail from the inside out. A beautiful tile job over a bad pan or an unvented drain is a leak in two years and a mold claim in five. We build the wet area to the manufacturer's waterproofing spec, have it inspected, and only then tile.
What's in the scope
- Tub-to-shower conversions with curbless or low-curb entries, linear drains, and glass.
- Full gut remodels: new layout, relocated drains and supply, new vanity, toilet, lighting and ventilation.
- Tile and stone on floors, walls and niches, with a sealed, sloped shower pan under it.
- Accessibility: grab-bar blocking, wider doors, comfort-height fixtures, no-threshold showers.
The permit
Moving a drain or adding a circuit needs a plumbing and electrical permit in every South Florida jurisdiction. We file it, meet the inspector for the rough-in and the final, and close it out. In a condo, we also handle the association's contractor paperwork and insurance certificate.
