We’ve worked the full stretch of Lake Worth, from the historic CBS blocks west of Dixie Highway in 33460 to the newer HOA communities out near Lantana Road in 33463. That split-jurisdiction reality - city permits on one side of a street, county permits on the other - isn’t a footnote for us. It’s something we plan for on every job. Our crews know which submittal package each office wants, which inspection timelines to expect, and where the structural surprises hide in pre-1994 construction.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Lake Worth’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve earned our reputation in Lake Worth by showing up prepared for homes that don’t behave like the ones in Boca or West Palm. The 1950s-1970s concrete block stock here - single-story, flat-roofed, originally built with wood-framed roof systems and no hurricane straps - demands a contractor who reads structure before demo, not after.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team carries that discipline into every project. We don’t tear out a tub and discover the wall is unsupported. We check the roof connection, the load path, and the permit jurisdiction before we touch a tile. That preparation saves Lake Worth homeowners the two-week stalls we’ve seen derail other projects.
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that one contractor should handle every phase, with material choices that belong to the homeowner. In Lake Worth, that means you choose between Silestone and Caesarstone for your vanity top, Kohler or Moen for your fixtures - and we handle the structural engineering if your 1962 CBS home needs it.
Response time matters here. A bathroom down to studs with no waterproofing membrane can’t wait. We prioritize Lake Worth calls for same-week assessments, and we stock common tile, backer board, and fixture sizes to keep momentum once we’re underway.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lake Worth
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Lake Worth starts with understanding what jurisdiction you’re in and what year your home was built. Homes in 33460-33462 often need structural evaluation before cosmetic work begins. We handle that discovery upfront, build the engineering into your timeline, and source materials from our 50+ brand partnerships so you’re not locked into a single vendor’s catalog. From demolition to final inspection, one team, one accountable schedule.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation is our most requested bathroom project in Lake Worth, especially among homeowners aging in place in the eastern historic neighborhoods. We design for the 140-150 mph wind-speed zone that governs Palm Beach County, which means impact-rated glass where required, proper venting to prevent moisture buildup in CBS walls, and flood-resistant assemblies for properties near the Lake Worth Lagoon. A typical walk-in shower install runs $4,500-$12,000.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Lake Worth carry a specific risk that newer suburbs don’t face. In pre-1994 CBS homes, removing a tub often exposes walls with no embedded anchor hardware for the roof structure. We’ve learned to price the engineering contingency into our initial quote, not spring it mid-project. That transparency is why homeowners in the western ZIPs - 33449, 33463, 33467 - call us after hearing horror stories from across town. Conversions typically range $3,500-$10,000.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Small bathroom remodels are common in Lake Worth’s original 1,000-square-foot CBS homes, where the second bath is often a 5×7 box with a wall-hung sink and zero storage. We source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria or Silestone tops, and Kohler or Moen fixtures - you choose the tier, we build to spec. Even compact spaces get full waterproofing, proper slope, and tile layouts that account for the room’s actual dimensions, not a catalog photo.
Small Bathroom Remodels
The 33460 corridor is full of these: original 1950s baths with jalousie windows, cast-iron tubs, and no exhaust venting. We specialize in maximizing function without expanding footprint. $5,000-$12,000 typically covers demo, waterproofing, new fixtures, tile, and proper mechanical venting - engineered to pass whichever inspector shows up.
Walk-In Shower Installation & Frameless Glass
Frameless glass enclosures demand precise leveling and hardware rated for humid, salt-air environments. We specify hardware that won’t corrode in Lake Worth’s coastal climate, and we verify that the wall structure can support the glass load before ordering. No surprises at install.
Bathtub Replacement
When a tub replacement is the right move - not a conversion - we handle the full surround, the plumbing rough-in, and the structural check. In flood-prone eastern parcels, we also verify that replacement work meets FEMA flood-resistant material requirements for below-BFE installations.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Worth
We don’t push proprietary products. You choose the brand, we handle the build. For Lake Worth bathroom projects, that means Kohler and Moen fixtures - both widely available with local supply-house support if a part’s needed fast. For countertops, we fabricate Silestone and Caesarstone in-house, with slab selection appointments at our Fort Lauderdale showroom. Tile comes from multiple distributors with next-day delivery to Palm Beach County. That brand flexibility matters when a city inspector in 33460 flags a fixture spec and you need a compliant alternative without a three-week reorder.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lake Worth Homes
- Split-jurisdiction permit confusion. A homeowner on one side of a street files with the City of Lake Worth Beach; their neighbor files with Palm Beach County. The submittal requirements differ, the inspection schedules differ, and a contractor who doesn’t verify jurisdiction before starting can lose two weeks to a rejected package. We confirm your jurisdiction on the first site visit.
- Pre-1994 CBS with no waterproofing membrane. The original construction in 33460-33462 often used direct-to-block tile with no Schluter, RedGard, or cement-board barrier. Demo reveals saturated block. We budget for full waterproofing rebuild, not just tile replacement.
- Hurricane strap discovery mid-project. Remove a shower wall, expose the roof-to-wall connection, and an inspector may now require continuous load-path upgrades that weren’t on the original permit. We probe for this before demo, not after.
- HOA architectural review delays in western ZIPs. Communities in 33463 and 33467 often require ARB approval for exterior vent changes or window modifications before the county will accept a permit application. We guide homeowners through that sequence so permits don’t sit in limbo.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lake Worth
The incorporated City of Lake Worth Beach manages permits for eastern ZIPs 33460-33462, while unincorporated Palm Beach County handles 33449, 33463, and 33467 - and the boundary runs down the middle of some streets. We verify your jurisdiction using the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser GIS before filing anything, so your submittal goes to the right office with the right paperwork. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll check your address on the first call.
Yes. Florida Building Code requires approved moisture barriers behind tub and shower surrounds on all new work, and both the City of Lake Worth Beach and Palm Beach County enforce this on permitted remodels. We include full waterproofing - cement board or liquid membrane, properly lapped - in every quote. Skipping it isn’t an option if you want the permit signed off.
It can. If demo exposes a roof-to-wall connection with no embedded anchor hardware, the inspector may require continuous load-path upgrades per current wind-code standards. We assess this risk before quoting by examining your roof structure and permit history. When engineering is likely, we build it into your budget upfront so you’re not surprised mid-project.
You can handle a simple swap if you’re comfortable with basic plumbing and the new vanity matches the existing footprint. But if your home needs a permit for the broader remodel - which most Lake Worth bathroom projects do - the vanity install must be included in the permitted scope and inspected. We coordinate that so your DIY preference doesn’t create a code conflict. For a vanity-only replacement with no other work, an unpermitted homeowner install is legal, though we still recommend professional plumbing connections to avoid leaks in CBS walls that don’t dry easily.
Lake Worth’s split jurisdiction and older housing stock add variables that West Palm’s more uniform construction doesn’t face. Your project may require engineering for load-path upgrades, or your permit may be sitting in a different inspection queue than your friend’s. We build realistic timelines that account for these local realities - and we communicate early when jurisdiction or structural findings shift the schedule. For a timeline assessment specific to your home, call (844) 665-0162.
