Bathroom Remodeling Bonita Springs fl in Downtown Bonita Springs

Low water pressure and rusty water are common in the older homes around Riverside Park. Replacing a faucet without addressing the supply line just moves the problem downstream. We open the wall, replace the galvanized run with PEX tubing, and pressure-test it before we close it back up. That adds a day to the job but saves you from a second demo later.

Homes in the flood zone can have elevated subfloor moisture even when the floor feels dry. Setting new tile over a damp subfloor leads to cracked grout and loose tiles within a year. We run a moisture meter on every subfloor before we set flooring. If it reads high, we dry it out, repair any soft spots with pressure-treated lumber, and then set the tile.

Narrow driveways and shared parking make it hard to stage a dumpster or a material delivery without blocking a neighbor. We schedule deliveries for early morning, keep the dumpster in the driveway rather than the street, and haul demo debris out in the shop vacuum and truck bed rather than letting it pile up.

Older Downtown Bonita Springs homes often have a window or no fan at all in the bathroom. Steam builds up, and mold and mildew grow on the ceiling and in the grout lines. We install a properly sized Broan or Panasonic exhaust fan vented to the exterior, and we use epoxy grout in the shower so the grout lines resist the humidity that sanded grout cannot handle.

Every bathroom remodel we pull a permit for in Downtown Bonita Springs is inspected against these codes. That covers the plumbing rough-in, the electrical, and the framing. We build to the code on the first pass so the inspector signs off without a re-visit.

This is the standard for the waterproofing membrane behind your shower tile. We use a Schluter Systems membrane that meets A118.10, and we show the inspector the membrane before the tile goes down. It is the difference between a shower that lasts and one that leaks.

Homes built before 1978 can have lead paint, and Downtown Bonita Springs has plenty of them. We follow lead-safe work practices during demo, contain the dust, and dispose of the debris properly. That protects your family and ours.

If you are remodeling a bathroom for a family member who needs accessibility, we build to ADA guidelines: grab bar blocking in the walls, a curbless shower entry, and a comfort-height toilet. We plan the blocking before the tile goes up so the grab bars have something solid to anchor into.
