Bathroom Remodeling in Key Biscayne
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 Key Biscayne
Key Biscayne is a barrier island reached only by the Rickenbacker Causeway, where salt air shortens the life of roofs and metal fixtures, and many 1950s Mackle-built homes have been replaced or heavily remodeled since Andrew in 1992.
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.
