Do I need Board of Architects approval for a bathroom remodel in Coral Gables?
Internal bathroom remodels typically do not require Board of Architects (BOA) approval unless you are altering the exterior facade (such as adding or changing windows). however, all structural, plumbing, and electrical work must comply with the City of Coral Gables Building Department permitting process. We handle all municipal submittals to ensure full code compliance.
How do you handle Mediterranean-style requirements for historic homes?
Coral Gables is famous for its Mediterranean Revival architecture. When remodeling bathrooms in historic “villages” or estates, we focus on materials and fixtures that preserve the home’s integrity—such as custom cabinetry, traditional tile patterns, and hardware finishes that align with George Merrick’s original vision for the city.
Can I convert my old bathtub into a walk-in shower in a Coral Gables home?
Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are our most requested service. We specialize in removing outdated tubs and installing spacious, curbless walk-in showers with frameless glass and premium waterproofing. We ensure these upgrades meet the specific drainage and plumbing codes required by Miami-Dade County.
How long does the permitting process take in the City of Coral Gables?
The City of Coral Gables is known for its thorough review process. For a high-end bathroom renovation, the permitting phase generally takes between 4 to 8 weeks. Our team manages the entire digital submittal process to expedite approvals and keep your project on schedule.
Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are our most popular request. We can remove your old, unused bathtub and install a spacious, modern walk-in shower with frameless glass doors, custom tiling, and accessibility features like benches or grab bars—all while ensuring compliance with Coral Gables’ permitting requirements.
In Miami’s humid climate, waterproofing is critical. We use high-grade waterproofing membranes (like Schluter-Kerdi or RedGard) behind all tile work and install proper ventilation fans to ensure moisture does not get trapped behind your walls, preventing future mold growth—a common concern in South Florida’s climate.
A typical bathroom remodel takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on the size and scope. If you only have one bathroom in the house, we can prioritize the toilet and shower functionality to minimize downtime, but we generally recommend having an alternative arrangement for a few days during demolition and tiling.
The best choice balances durability, water resistance, and style. Popular options include porcelain tile, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), and natural stone. We help you select materials that suit your lifestyle and South Florida’s climate while complementing the architectural character of your Coral Gables home.
Moving a toilet, adding a shower, or installing a freestanding tub requires precise planning. All plumbing must follow the Florida Plumbing Code to prevent leaks and ensure proper venting and drainage. Our licensed plumbers handle complex reroutes to make your new layout functional.
Choose WaterSense-labeled fixtures from the EPA, which include toilets, showerheads, and faucets that use less water without sacrificing performance. Upgrading to these fixtures can significantly reduce your water usage and utility bills while adding value to your Coral Gables home.
A correctly sized exhaust fan that vents directly outside is non-negotiable. It should run during and for 20+ minutes after showers. We ensure your new bathroom has adequate ventilation to protect your investment from moisture-related issues common in South Florida.
Work with a licensed, insured contractor and look for design that prioritizes functionality, safety, and aesthetics. Our 25+ years of experience bring best practices to life in your Coral Gables home, ensuring your bathroom remodel is both beautiful and built to last.
