How We Handle Vanities, Tile & Fixtures from Demo to Final Walkthrough

We break this job into five clear stages so you know what’s happening and when you need to make decisions. Here’s how it actually plays out in a typical Boca Raton home.

Stage 1: Demo and rough inspection (1-2 days)

We remove the existing vanity, mirror, lighting, toilet, and tile down to the subfloor and wall studs. In the 1960s-70s concrete block ranches east of Military Trail, we often find original galvanized plumbing that needs replacement before anything new goes in. We cap lines, inspect for leaks or rot, and call for a rough plumbing inspection if we’re moving supply or drain locations. You don’t need to be home for this, but you do need to have already picked your vanity size and rough plumbing configuration - standard 24″, 30″, 36″, 48″, or 60″ widths, single or double bowl, wall-hung or floor-mounted.

Stage 2: Substrate prep and waterproofing (1-3 days)

Concrete board or fiber-cement backer goes up on walls, and we pour self-leveling compound if the slab has settled - common in the western 33496 and 33498 developments built on drained Everglades soils. Shower pans get hot-mopped or pre-sloped foam with surface-applied waterproofing membrane. We flood-test the pan for 24 hours. This is where tile layout gets finalized; you see the dry pattern before any thinset touches the wall.

Stage 3: Tile installation (3-5 days)

Walls first, then floors, then grout. Large-format porcelain or natural stone takes longer due to leveling clips and lippage control. Subway tile moves faster. We seal natural stone before grouting and again 72 hours after. In Boca Raton’s hard water environment, we specify epoxy grout for shower floors - it won’t absorb the mineral deposits that turn sanded grout gray in two years.

Stage 4: Vanity, fixtures, and trim (1-2 days)

Vanity gets leveled and anchored to studs, not just the wall surface. Faucets, shower valve trim, towel bars, and lighting connect. We test every valve under pressure and check GFCI protection on all outlets. If you’ve chosen a floating vanity, we reinforce blocking in the wall during stage 1 - this is why that early decision matters.

Stage 5: Final inspection and punch (1 day)

City inspector verifies plumbing connections and electrical. We walk the space with you, demonstrate any thermostatic valves, and leave you with care instructions for your specific materials. The whole sequence typically spans 10-15 working days, plus material lead times.

The Material and Fixture Decisions That Shape Your Bathroom

Every choice here has a real trade-off. We don’t push one tier; we stock options across price points because “you choose the brand, we handle the build” is how we work.

• Vanity cabinets: Stock particleboard with thermofoil faces start around $400. Semi-custom plywood boxes with hardwood doors and soft-close hardware run $1,200-$2,800. Fully custom built-ins with furniture-grade finishes hit $4,000+. The honest difference: moisture resistance and hinge longevity. In Boca Raton’s humidity, we see thermofoil delamination in 3-5 years on unventilated baths.
• Countertops: Cultured marble is budget-friendly at $200-$500 but scratches and stains. Quartz from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone runs $60-$120 per square foot installed, non-porous, and holds up to acetone and hair dye. Natural stone like marble or quartzite demands sealing every 6-12 months - beautiful, but higher maintenance.
• Wall and floor tile: Ceramic subway tile at $2-$4 per square foot works for dry areas. Porcelain at $4-$12 handles freeze-thaw and heavy wear. Natural stone at $8-$20+ needs sealing but delivers texture you can’t replicate. Large-format rectified porcelain (24″x48″) minimizes grout lines and reads modern, but requires a flat substrate - add $300-$800 for self-leveling if your slab has waves.
• Fixtures and hardware: Builder-grade chrome or brushed nickel from Delta or Moen starts around $150 per fixture. Solid brass construction with ceramic disc cartridges in matte black or unlacquered brass runs $400-$800 each and lasts decades. Thermostatic shower valves add $600-$1,200 but eliminate temperature swings when someone flushes.
• Lighting and mirrors: Integrated LED medicine cabinets with anti-fog run $400-$1,200. Simple sconces and framed mirror: $150-$400. Dimmable circuits and GFCI outlets add $200-$400 in electrical work if the existing bath lacks them.

What Vanities, Tile & Fixtures Costs in Boca Raton, FL

Five variables move you up or down this range. Layout changes - moving a toilet drain or converting a tub to a walk-in shower - add $2,000-$5,000 in plumbing alone. Material grade accounts for the widest swing; a $400 vanity versus a $4,000 custom piece changes the total by 15-20%. Subfloor condition in older Boca Raton homes can require sistering joists or pouring leveling compound, adding $500-$2,000. Permit scope - electrical upgrades, structural changes, or additions to the conditioned envelope - trigger more inspections and longer timelines. Tile complexity - herringbone patterns, mosaic insets, or floor-to-ceiling porcelain - increases labor 30-50% over straight stack layouts.

A written estimate from us includes demo, disposal, all materials you’ve selected, labor, rough and final inspections, and project management. It does not include permit fees (typically $300-$800 in Palm Beach County), temporary bathroom arrangements, or repairs to unexpected rot or plumbing concealed behind walls.

What Boca Raton’s Rules and Housing Stock Mean for This Job

Boca Raton isn’t a city where you swap a vanity and call it done without checking who needs to approve the work. The city’s Architectural Review Board enforces Addison Mizner-inspired Mediterranean Revival standards - barrel tile, stucco, arched openings, approved color palettes - that carry municipal code force, not just HOA preference. In gated communities like Boca West, Broken Sound, or Woodfield Country Club, your contractor may need sequential approvals from the community ARC, the city ARB, and Palm Beach County permitting before a single permit issues. We’ve seen projects in 33496 and 33498 delayed three weeks because a community board meets monthly and the tile color sample wasn’t submitted in time.

The housing stock splits east and west. Eastern ZIPs - 33487 along the coast, 33432, 33431 - hold 1960s-70s concrete block ranches with original baths that are functional but dated: 32″ vanities, fiberglass surrounds, single-pane aluminum windows. Western 33496 and 33498 hold 1980s-2000s planned-community homes with larger footprints, but the same humidity and hard water that degrades grout and corrodes cheap fixtures. Both areas fall under Florida Building Code wind speed requirements of 160+ mph, so any window or exterior door replacement triggered by your bath remodel needs impact-rated product and engineered installation - a cost and inspection layer inland markets don’t face.

We keep a geotechnical contact on speed dial for any ground-level work west of Lyons Road; the drained Everglades soils there stay saturated within 18 inches of grade, and an outdated soils report can void a slab pour mid-project. For vanities, tile & fixtures, this matters less than for additions, but it affects any subfloor repair or bathroom expansion that touches the slab edge.

Homeowners often pair interior bath updates with exterior work while we’re on site. If you’re addressing the full envelope, we also handle Tile Roofing in Boca Raton and Specialty Roofing in Boca Raton under the same contract and schedule.
