Bathroom Remodeling in West Palm Beach
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 West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach has several locally designated historic districts — El Cid, Flamingo Park, Northwood, Grandview Heights — where exterior changes to 1920s homes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board before a permit.
Plumbing and building permits pulled by PSR. Unincorporated Palm Beach County permits through the county’s Building Division, the larger cities run their own building departments, and although the county is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone it is in the wind-borne debris region, so new openings still need impact protection.
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.
