The bathroom, rebuilt watertight.

In a village pressed between the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay, bathrooms age fast and fail expensively. Estate-section houses on Park Drive and Bal Cross Drive still hide original tubs and four-inch tile from their first owners; residences at the Majestic Tower or the Plaza of Bal Harbour often carry builder-grade bathrooms several fashions out of date. The remodel owners actually want is a true primary suite: curbless shower behind frameless glass, freestanding tub, stone on every surface, and ventilation that can cope with humidity eleven months a year.

Bathroom work in Bal Harbour is permitted through the Village Building Department, and because most of it is interior, it skips the Architectural Review Board and goes straight into plan review. In a high-rise, the stakes are different: your shower pan sits on top of someone's ceiling, so associations require approved contractors, insurance certificates, and proof the waterproofing is being inspected, not assumed. In towers old enough for Florida's milestone inspections, plumbing risers and shut-offs get attention too. We schedule tie-ins with building engineers so your neighbors keep their water and their patience.

We build bathrooms in the order that prevents callbacks: substrate flat, slopes correct, waterproofing membrane flood-tested before a single tile goes down. It is the least glamorous week of the project and the one that decides whether the marble lasts. Stone is templated and set by installers we trust with veined slabs, fixtures go in against the written scope, and a PGX supervisor signs off daily. Twenty-plus years in South Florida taught us where bathrooms fail, and we spend our attention exactly there.
