Bathrooms engineered to stay dry.

The bathrooms in Hillsboro Beach were mostly built for a different decade of expectations. Oceanfront units in buildings like Hillsboro Island House, Opal Towers and the Sea Club came with compact baths and a single vanity, and the estate houses on Hillsboro Mile tend to have plenty of bathrooms and not one primary suite anyone would design today. So the projects here are conversions as much as renovations: absorbing a closet or a small bedroom, replacing a tub nobody uses with a shower two people can stand in, and finishing it in stone that will survive the salt.

Bathroom work is permitted through the Town of Hillsboro Beach Building Department, with plumbing, electrical and mechanical inspections along the way, all under the Florida Building Code as administered by the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals. In a condominium, add association approval, a certificate of insurance and agreed working hours. The buildings themselves are the bigger variable: original cast iron waste lines, galvanized supply, and post-tensioned or conventionally reinforced slabs that decide whether a curbless shower is possible or merely photogenic. We investigate that before design, not during demolition.

Everything that matters in a bathroom is buried by the time you see it, which is why we build the invisible half first. Waterproofing membranes are flood-tested and held overnight before tile is set. Shower slopes are checked with instruments. Blocking for heavy glass goes into the wall months before the glass arrives. The rest of your home is already finished, so it gets covered and protected from the front door in. Fixed written scope, a supervisor here daily, licensed and insured under Lic. CGC1539072.
