Bathroom Remodeling · Boca Raton

Boca Raton bathrooms built to never leak.

Most local bathrooms look fine on day one, but fail because of cheap work hidden behind the walls. We strip everything to the studs, fix the plumbing, and guarantee the waterproofing. General Contractor Jorge Monroy is on your site daily to make sure it's done right.

Our Standard

Fixing builder-grade failures.

Most failed South Florida bathrooms looked great on the day they were finished. The real problems show up in year two or three: dark grout lines that never dry, a soft spot on the subfloor, or a mildew smell that bleach won't fix. Those aren't surface issues. That's cheap workmanship buried behind the tile.

We don't cut those corners. We build a stable, dry substrate first, apply a real waterproof layer, and install a correctly-sized exhaust fan. Tile comes last. We rigorously test our waterproofing before the first tile goes on. If it leaks a millimeter, we tear it out and start over.

We pull every permit under Jorge's GC license (CGC1514129). You get zero surprises, firm pricing, and copies of every approved inspection card when we hand over the keys.

The Jorge Standard

Our waterproofing standards.

We refuse to install beautiful tile over someone else's rotting drywall. Before the new tile goes on, we fix the infrastructure behind the walls so you only have to pay for this remodel once.

Copper and PEX-A plumbing installation
01 · Replace galvanized steel

Corrosion stops here

Boca homes built before 1980 were plumbed with galvanized steel that rusts from the inside out. Once the wall is open, we cut it out and run new lines back to the nearest junction.

Schluter Kerdi shower pan installation
02 · Bulletproof shower pans

Water tight, guaranteed

We don't use cheap rubber pan liners that crack at the folds. We install pre-sloped foam pans and liquid membranes so water never wicks into your framing.

Fix · Kerdi or Hydro Ban
Schluter Ditra uncoupling membrane on subfloor
03 · Zero-flex subfloors

No cracked grout

If your subfloor bends, your grout will crack. We check the framing for bounce and reinforce the joists if needed. Then we set the tile over a decoupling membrane so the floor stays permanently rigid.

Fix · 1-⅛″ total subfloor + Ditra / Strata-Mat
Cement backer board shower installation
04 · True waterproof walls

No drywall in wet areas

We never use "moisture-resistant" green board drywall behind shower tile. We strip it to the studs and install solid cement backer board, taping and sealing every seam.

Fix · HardieBacker or Durock
Panasonic bathroom exhaust fan installation
05 · Exhaust sized to HVI-2100

The fan math contractors skip

A cheap 50-CFM fan is why your bathroom grows mildew. We calculate the exact exhaust volume your room needs, install a high-end Panasonic fan, and hard-duct it straight out the roof.

Dedicated 20A GFCI circuit installation
06 · Modern electrical code

Safe, grounded circuits

We pull dedicated 20-amp GFCI circuits for every bathroom we remodel. We replace old, ungrounded outlets to bring everything up to modern electrical code.

Before & after

Recent Boca Raton transformations.

New Floresta · Primary bath · 2025

Dated tub combo to luxury stone retreat

The original New Floresta bath had chipped laminate countertops and a single basin. The owners suspected water damage around the old tub surround—a common failure point for that era.

We tore it down to the studs and rebuilt the surfaces with 24×48 polished Calacatta porcelain tile. We replaced the single basin with a custom light-oak double vanity, paired with matte black wall-mounted faucets and a linear LED light bar. Illustrative past project; your scope, duration and cost will differ.

FAQ

Questions we get on every call.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Boca Raton?

Real ranges from the last two years of our invoices:

  • Powder rooms: $18K–$30K
  • Full hall baths: $30K–$55K
  • Primary-suite baths: $55K–$95K+

The big price swings come from three factors. First, layout changes: moving a shower or toilet adds $4–$8K in plumbing alone. Second, tile selection: a 24×48 porcelain is roughly half the installed cost of a marble slab. Third, galvanized plumbing: if you have old pipes behind the wall, we build an allowance into your scope before demo.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most of our bathrooms require 3–6 weeks of on-site work after permits issue. Here is the schedule: demo (3–5 days), rough plumbing and electrical (1 week), substrate and waterproofing (1 week). Tile takes 1–2 weeks. Finally, fixtures, glass, and punch list take 4–5 days. Permit review in Boca Raton typically runs 2–4 weeks before we start.
What waterproofing system do you use behind tile?
We default to Schluter Kerdi (orange sheet membrane) or Laticrete Hydro Ban (liquid-applied, two coats) over cement backer board. We band every inside corner, flash every pipe penetration, and plug the drain for a 24-hour flood test before the first tile goes on. We never install tile over green board in a shower, and we never use mastic. Neither is waterproof, and both will rot in Florida humidity within five years.
Can we live in the house during the bathroom remodel?
If you have other working bathrooms, yes. We set up dust barriers and negative-pressure fans to seal off the work zone so the rest of your house stays clean. If you only have one bathroom, we plan the plumbing rough-in so you are only without the toilet for 3–4 days, not the whole project. We figure out these logistics with you before you sign anything.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Boca Raton?
Yes, for almost every real bath remodel. Florida Building Code requires a permit any time you alter plumbing, electrical, or structural systems. Nearly every remodel we do touches at least one. Strictly cosmetic work—like swapping a vanity into the exact same plumbing or painting—is exempt. We pull every permit under our GC license and handle all the inspections.
