Bathroom Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Full bathroom renovations for West Palm Beach houses and condominiums. One crew, one point of contact, and the review calendar built into the schedule instead of discovered halfway through.
One Team, the Whole Bathroom
A bathroom is the most constrained room in a house. Everything in it sits on top of waterproofing nobody will ever see, and almost none of it can move without touching plumbing that was set decades ago.
We handle the whole thing in house: demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, glass, cabinetry, and finish work. The same crew runs it from the first day to the walkthrough.
West Palm Beach adds two things most cities do not: a large stock of downtown condominiums with shared plumbing, and a historic review calendar that runs months rather than weeks.

Built the Way We Would Build Our Own
Every finish is treated as visible, whether you will see it or not.
Waterproofing First
The layer with the least to show for it and the most riding on it. Pan slope, corners, and every penetration get detailed before a single tile is set.
One Accountable Crew
The same team from demolition to final walkthrough. You always know who is in your home and who to call about it.
Review Built Into the Schedule
Board and historic review each run on their own calendar. We sequence around them from day one rather than pausing the job to wait on a meeting.
A Scope, Not an Allowance
Selections are made before the number is set, so the estimate you agree to is the one the bathroom is actually built to.
Respect for an Occupied Home
Dust control, a protected path in and out, and a work area that closes down at the end of the day. Most of these projects happen in occupied homes.
Finish Work That Holds Up
Tile, glass, and cabinetry are where a bathroom is judged. Those go to people who do them well, not to whoever is free that week.
What a West Palm Beach Bathroom Remodel Actually Involves
The parts of the job that are specific to this city, and that decide whether a project runs on schedule or waits on someone else's calendar.
The historic board calendar runs in months, not weeks
This is the scheduling fact that catches people out. The Historic Preservation Board meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month, but application materials are due by the deadline corresponding to the meeting held two months prior, and the city states plainly that those deadlines are strictly enforced.
So a project that needs historic review is working on a lead time measured in months before it gets an answer. It only applies where the work touches the outside of a historic structure, but if it applies and nobody noticed at design, the whole renovation waits. We establish at the walkthrough whether it applies, because that single question can move a start date by a season.
A house can be designated even outside a district
West Palm Beach maintains 18 locally-designated historic districts and 46 individually-designated sites. That second number is the one people miss.
A property can carry an individual designation on a street where nothing else does, so checking whether your block is in a district is not the same as checking whether your house is designated. Exterior modifications to a historic structure have to comply with the city's Historic Preservation Ordinance and design guidelines either way. We confirm the status of the specific address before a scope is written.
Downtown condos: the stack decides the floor plan
A large share of West Palm Beach bathrooms sit in condominium buildings, and in a tower the waste stack and risers are shared with the units above and below. They are not yours to move.
That sets a hard limit on how far a toilet or a shower drain can travel, which in turn decides whether the layout you want is buildable at all. It is the first thing we check in a condo bathroom, because a design drawn without it is a drawing rather than a plan. Building access, elevator reservations, and permitted work hours then shape the sequence around it.
Second-floor bathrooms and the slope you cannot see
In the older two-story housing stock, an upstairs bathroom is governed by what is under the floor. A drain line needs consistent fall to run, and the depth available for it is set by the joists, which are not adjustable.
This is what usually decides whether a curbless or zero-entry shower is possible on a second floor, and it is worth answering before anyone falls in love with a layout. Sometimes the depth is there. Sometimes the floor has to be built up across the room to find it, which changes doors, thresholds, and tile transitions. Either way it is a design-stage question, not a demolition-day surprise.
Permit procedures, historic regulations, and building codes change. Everything above reflects the city's published information as of July 2026, and we reconfirm current requirements on every project.

From First Call to Final Walkthrough
We visit the house, measure the bathroom, and talk through what is not working about the one you have.
We confirm what review the project needs: condo board, historic, or city permit, and what each one's calendar looks like.
You get a written scope and a fixed estimate. No allowances that quietly grow once the job starts.
We finalize selections together: tile, stone, fixtures, glass, vanity, and lighting.
We handle the permitting process and prepare the approval packet your building, association, or the city requires before work starts.
Demolition begins on a scheduled date, with protection laid through the path our crew will use.
Waterproofing, rough-in, and inspection, then tile, glass, and finish work, inspected at each stage.
Final walkthrough together. We do not call it done until you do.
West Palm Beach Bathroom Remodeling Questions
Does a bathroom remodel need historic approval in West Palm Beach?
Only if it touches the exterior of a historic structure. The city's Historic Preservation Ordinance and design guidelines govern exterior modifications, so an interior bathroom renovation generally is not what that review is aimed at. Changing an exterior window or opening is a different matter, and the Historic Preservation Board's calendar makes that a question worth answering early.
How far ahead do I need to plan for historic review?
Further than most people expect. The Historic Preservation Board meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month, and application materials are due by the deadline for the meeting held two months prior, with deadlines strictly enforced. If your project needs that review, the lead time is measured in months, which is why we establish whether it applies at the walkthrough.
I live in a downtown condo. Can you move the shower?
Sometimes, and the honest answer depends on the building rather than the design. Waste stacks and risers are shared between units, so how far a drain can travel is set by the plumbing that is already there. We check that first, before finishes, because it decides whether a layout is buildable. Building access, elevator reservations, and work hours then shape the schedule.
Can I have a curbless shower in an upstairs bathroom?
It depends on the depth available under the floor. A drain needs consistent fall, and in a two-story home the joists set how much room there is for it. Sometimes it is there. Sometimes the floor has to be built up across the room, which changes doors and thresholds. We answer it during design rather than after demolition.
How does permitting work in West Palm Beach?
The city's Development Services Building Division processes and reviews permit applications and oversees inspections, and permits run through EPL, the city's Civic Access portal. The division also publishes a research tool that shows which permits a proposed project will need. We handle the permitting process and carry the review and inspections through the project.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are insured in Florida, and we provide certificates directly to your association or property manager when a building asks for them before work begins.
