Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Boca Del Mar
Bathroom remodeling in Boca Del Mar typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with most projects taking 3-5 weeks once Palm Beach County permits clear. We’re based in Fort Lauderdale and regularly on-site in Boca Del Mar’s 33433 zip code, including the Sweetwater Circle and Boca Del Mar Country Club areas. Our crews know the local jurisdictional split that trips up out-of-town contractors: this unincorporated Palm Beach County community does not fall under Boca Raton’s building department, and filing in the wrong place costs homeowners weeks. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate - we’ll walk you through the correct permit path before work starts.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve completed bathroom renovations across Boca Del Mar’s 1970s and 1980s CBS housing stock, from the original ranch-style homes near Powerline Road to the townhome clusters off Palmetto Park Road. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles every phase - demolition, plumbing rough-in, electrical, tile, and finish carpentry - so you’re not coordinating three separate subcontractors.
Homeowners here call us because we understand what Palm Beach County inspectors actually look for. The county’s wind-load and impact-glazing codes have tightened significantly since these homes were built, and bathroom remodels that touch windows or exterior walls trigger envelope compliance checks that City of Boca Raton jobs don’t face. We pull permits through the correct county channel every time.
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that homeowners deserve genuine material choice, not whatever’s in the contractor’s warehouse. In Boca Del Mar, that means you pick from Kohler and Moen fixtures, Silestone or Caesarstone vanities, and tile from our full catalog - we don’t substitute without your sign-off.
Our response time to Boca Del Mar is typically same-day or next-day for consultations. We’re on the road between Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach County daily.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Boca Del Mar
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Boca Del Mar means working with concrete block and stucco walls that don’t forgive poor waterproofing. We strip to the studs, upgrade plumbing to current Palm Beach County code, and install proper moisture barriers behind tile - critical in a climate where summer humidity stays above 80 percent for months. Most full renovations in this area run $9,000-$28,000 depending on fixture grade and whether we’re moving walls or keeping the existing footprint.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
This is our most requested service in Boca Del Mar. The original 1970s and 1980s tubs are failing - cracked enamel, rusted drains, and surrounds that leak into the CBS block. We specialize in Kohler walk-in shower systems with frameless glass enclosures that open up these typically compact baths. Because Boca Del Mar’s water table sits just 2-4 feet below grade, shower pan installation requires proper presloping and, in some cases, a sump pump for the drain line. We account for this on every job. Walk-in shower installation typically costs $4,500-$12,000.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Removing a tub and installing a curbless or low-threshold shower is straightforward until you hit the drainage. Many Boca Del Mar homes have original cast-iron or early PVC drain lines that don’t align with modern shower bases. We reroute as needed, and we check the venting against current Palm Beach County plumbing code - a detail that saves you from the inspector’s red tag. Tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500-$10,000.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities from $800-$3,000 depending on size and material, with countertop options including Silestone and Caesarstone engineered quartz that holds up to Boca Del Mar’s hard water and heavy use. Tile selection matters here: porcelain and ceramic with proper coefficient of friction ratings for wet areas, installed with modified thinset on concrete substrates. We don’t cut corners on prep - these CBS walls demand it.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Powder rooms and guest baths in Boca Del Mar’s older homes are often 5×7 feet with inadequate ventilation. We upgrade exhaust fans to code-required CFM ratings, address any mold behind existing drywall, and maximize usable space with wall-hung vanities and pocket or barn doors where framing allows. Small bathroom remodels start around $5,000-$12,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Del Mar
Groundwork works with 50+ recognized industry brands across every residential construction category. For Boca Del Mar bathroom projects, we regularly specify Kohler and Moen plumbing fixtures for their parts availability and warranty support in South Florida. Vanity countertops draw from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone - three of the most recognized engineered quartz brands in residential construction. We don’t push proprietary lines. You choose the brand that fits your budget and taste; we handle the build and stand behind the installation. Our relationships with these manufacturers mean faster lead times on replacement parts, which matters when you’re down to one functioning bathroom during a renovation.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Permits filed with the wrong jurisdiction. Contractors unfamiliar with Boca Del Mar’s unincorporated status routinely submit to Boca Raton’s building department. The application gets rejected, the project stalls, and the homeowner learns about it weeks later. We file directly with Palm Beach County’s Building Division from day one.
- Shower pans installed without water-table accommodation. The shallow groundwater here - often visible at 2-3 feet in post-rain conditions - forces moisture upward through improperly sealed float beds. We’ve torn out pans less than two years old where the contractor skipped the vapor barrier or used the wrong drain assembly.
- Original windows left in place during remodels that trigger envelope upgrades. When a bathroom renovation includes an exterior wall or window replacement, Palm Beach County requires current wind-load compliance. Keeping single-pane aluminum frames means failing inspection and reopening finished walls. We flag this during estimating, not during the rough-in.
- Aging cast-iron drains with incompatible modern fittings. The 1970s-80s plumbing in these homes used hub-and-spigot cast iron or early no-hub couplings that don’t mate cleanly with contemporary PVC shower drains. We carry the transition fittings and know which connections the county inspector will want to see exposed.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Boca Del Mar
Yes. Because Boca Del Mar is unincorporated Palm Beach County, all plumbing, electrical, and structural work requires a county building permit - not a Boca Raton permit. Permit fees typically run $350-$800 depending on project scope and valuation. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll confirm the exact fee during your free estimate.
Boca Raton has its own building department with different administrative rules; your neighbor’s project fell under city jurisdiction. Boca Del Mar’s unincorporated status means Palm Beach County Building Division handles all permits, and their inspection schedule and code interpretations differ. We file correctly for your address from the start.
Usually yes, but it depends on your existing drain location and the water table depth at your specific lot. Most Kohler and similar shower bases accommodate standard rough-in dimensions, though some Boca Del Mar homes need drain relocation or sump pump installation to achieve proper slope. We assess this during our on-site measurement.
Only if the remodel touches the window itself or the exterior wall containing it. Palm Beach County’s current wind-load code then requires impact-resistant glazing or approved shutters. If your window stays untouched, the existing single-pane aluminum frame can remain. We identify trigger points during estimating so you’re not surprised mid-project.
Most projects run 3-5 weeks of construction after permit approval. Palm Beach County typically issues permits in 10-15 business days for straightforward bathroom renovations, though complex electrical or structural changes can extend this. We schedule inspections at rough plumbing, electrical, and final to avoid downtime between trades. Call (844) 665-0162 to discuss your timeline.
