The half you never see.

The average Pompano Beach primary bathroom was laid out around a 1965 idea of privacy: a five-foot tub, one small window, and a vanity for a single person who was not in a hurry. In Santa Barbara Estates, Garden Isles and the older Cypress Cove streets, those baths are frequently still original behind the 1990s tile somebody stuck over them. Beachside in Hillsboro Shores and up in the towers along the sand the problem inverts: the layout is generous, but the shower pan is aging and the finishes have gone quiet. Both roads end at the studs.

Bathroom permits go through City of Pompano Beach Building Permitting and Inspections, on the Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application, with plumbing rough, top-out and final inspections in sequence, which is exactly the sequence that protects you. Two local details catch owners off guard. In a condominium the association's written approval letter is part of the city package, alongside whatever the building requires about riser shutdowns. And on any floor above the ground floor, hard flooring needs an independent laboratory test report showing STC and IIC ratings of at least 50 for the assembly, which is a permit item here rather than a courtesy to your neighbor.

There is no margin for error in a room this small. We flood-test pans before any tile is set, verify slope with a level rather than an opinion, block walls properly for heavy glass and grab bars, and duct exhaust to the outside instead of into a soffit. Original cast iron drains get camera-checked while the walls are open, since that is the only inexpensive moment you will get. Fixed written scope, daily supervision, hard protection over every finished surface the crew has to cross, and one team answering for all of it under Lic. CGC1539072.
