Bathrooms that outlast the humidity.

Nothing dates a Palmetto Bay house faster than its bathrooms. A well-kept ranch in Tanglewood Estates or Mangowood will still hide a 1970s hall bath behind its oak door: low ceiling, tub nobody uses, a vanity built for smaller mornings. Owners here are converting spare bedrooms and closets into genuine primary suites, with curbless showers behind frameless glass, freestanding tubs, book-matched stone, and double vanities under proper lighting. Done well, it is the room that changes how the whole house feels at 6 a.m.

Bathroom work in Palmetto Bay is permitted through the Village's Building and Permitting Department, with plumbing and electrical inspected at rough and final. Two local wrinkles matter. First, many original homes still drain through decades-old cast iron under the slab, and a remodel is the sensible moment to camera and replace it. Second, a fair number of properties here run on septic systems, so adding fixtures or moving a bathroom can bring Miami-Dade County review of the system's capacity. Neither is a crisis. Both are things to know before tile is ordered.

Waterproofing is where we are frankly obsessive. Every PGX shower gets a full membrane system, flood-tested before a single tile goes on, because stone and glass are only as good as what is behind them. The scope is fixed in writing, a supervisor walks the site daily, and floors between the front door and the bath are protected for the duration. One team runs demolition through final inspection and warranty. It is the least dramatic way to build a bathroom, which is exactly the point.
