Bathroom Remodeling in Coconut Grove

What Grove bathrooms are up against.

A bathroom in an older Coconut Grove house is usually the room that gives the house's age away first. Behind the tile in a 1920s Center Grove Mediterranean or a Bay Heights ranch you will typically find original cast-iron drains, undersized supply lines, and framing that has spent decades in humidity. High-end owners here treat bathroom remodels as small construction projects, not decorating exercises: gut to the studs, replace the plumbing back to the stack, then build the marble shower and freestanding tub on top of work that will not leak into the room below.

Bathroom permits in Coconut Grove go through the City of Miami Building Department, with plumbing and electrical rough inspections before anything closes up — which is exactly the order you want, since covered-up shortcuts are how bathrooms fail. Interior bath work generally avoids the Grove's NCD design review, but swap a window in the shower wall and you are into Miami-Dade HVHZ territory: impact-rated, code-approved, ideally obscured glass. In bayfront homes we also watch the FEMA substantial-improvement math when a bath remodel is part of a larger renovation.

Our bathrooms are built in the unglamorous order that makes them last: slope, pan, membrane, flood test, then stone. PGX supervises daily, holds a fixed written scope, and treats the rest of your house as off-limits — floors protected, dust contained, one bathroom's demolition never becoming the whole home's problem. You get one licensed, insured team (CGC1539072) from estimate to warranty, and tile layouts you approved on paper before anyone opened a box.

What's included

Bathroom scope, floor to ceiling.

Full gut renovations of primary suites, guest baths, and powder rooms — plumbing to finishes, with inspections at every stage that matters.

01

Primary suite builds

Full reconfigurations that borrow closet or bedroom space to create the suite the original Grove floor plan never imagined.

02

Glass measured after the tile

Curbless and low-curb showers with sloped pans, linear drains, and glass measured after the tile is set — never before.

03

Membranes, flood-tested first

Membrane systems flood-tested before tile goes down, because a leak found early costs an afternoon and one found late costs a ceiling.

04

Tubs and the drain they need

Tub placement planned with the drain relocation it actually requires, wrapped in book-matched stone or large-format tile.

05

New piping back to the stack

Cast-iron and galvanized lines swapped for modern piping back to the stack while the walls are already open — the cheap moment to do it.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do bathroom remodels in Coconut Grove require permits?
Yes — through the City of Miami, with plumbing and electrical rough inspections before walls close. That sequence is your protection: the inspector and our supervisor both see the work while it can still be corrected easily. In older Grove houses, the permit process also surfaces the aging cast iron and undersized wiring that a cosmetic remodel would have tiled over and left for the next owner to discover.
Should I replace the original plumbing while remodeling a 1920s house?
Almost always. Cast-iron drains from that era are at or past the end of their service life, and the walls will never be cheaper to open than during your remodel. Replacing supply and drain lines back to the stack adds modest cost now and removes the most common cause of the leak that ruins a finished bathroom later. We consider it the least optional line in the scope.
How long does a full bathroom remodel take?
For a gut renovation of a primary bath, plan on several weeks of construction once permits and materials are in hand, longer when walls move or plumbing relocates. Stone, glass, and fixtures carry lead times, so we order before demolition, not after. The flood test in the middle is non-negotiable and occasionally adds a day. It is the cheapest day in the whole project.
What does a high-end bathroom remodel cost in Coconut Grove?
The range is wide because the choices are: book-matched stone and unlacquered brass live at a different number than porcelain and chrome. Waterproofing, plumbing replacement, and proper glass are the constants we will not thin out to hit a price. We give you a fixed written scope with the real number attached — and at this level, the bathroom you get should embarrass the one it replaced.
Can you add or enlarge a window in my bathroom?
Usually, and in a shaded Grove bathroom it is often the best money in the project. An exterior opening means impact-rated glass approved for Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, a permit reflecting the structural change, and — depending on your street — attention to the NCD overlay. Obscured impact glass solves privacy without curtains. We handle the engineering and approvals as part of the scope.
