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

Every vanities, tile & fixtures job in Hobe Sound follows a five-stage sequence. Knowing the timeline helps you plan around the work and make decisions before they become last-minute stress.

Stage 1: Protection and selective demo - 1 day

We seal off the bathroom and adjacent hallways with dust barriers and floor protection. Then we remove the vanity, countertop, mirror, wall tile, floor tile, toilet, and fixtures. In Hobe Sound’s 1960s-1980s ranch homes, we often find original cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines, or subfloor damage from decades of humidity exposure. We photograph everything and flag surprises before ordering materials.

Stage 2: Substrate inspection and prep - 1-2 days

Wall and floor substrates get tested for moisture and structural integrity. Cement backer board or waterproof foam board goes up where tile will live. If your old vanity sat on a platform or against a wall with no blocking, we add solid wood backing for grab bars or floating vanities. You decide now: standard vanity height or comfort height, wall-mounted or floor-mounted, and whether to relocate the toilet or keep its footprint.

Stage 3: Rough plumbing and electrical - 1-2 days

Licensed trades relocate supply and drain lines if you’ve chosen a new vanity layout, add GFCI circuits for heated floors or upgraded lighting, and pressure-test everything. This is the point of no return for layout changes. We coordinate inspections here if the scope triggers Martin County’s requirements.

Stage 4: Tile installation - 3-5 days

Floors first, then walls. We use polymer-modified thinset rated for Florida’s humidity and install per TCNA guidelines with movement joints at perimeter transitions. Grout gets sealed after cure. You already picked tile size, pattern, and grout color during stage 1; now we execute to spec.

Stage 5: Fixture and vanity set - 1-2 days

The vanity, countertop, sink, faucet, toilet, shower valve, trim, and accessories get installed, caulked, and tested. We run every fixture through hot and cold cycles, check for leaks, and do a final cleanup. You walk through with us and sign off on a punch list if anything needs tweaking.

The Material and Layout Choices That Shape Your Bathroom

Vanities, tile & fixtures in Hobe Sound aren’t about picking “nice” options. They’re about matching how you use the space to materials that survive this climate. Here’s where homeowners typically land:

• Vanity cabinets: KraftMaid and Wellborn both offer framed and frameless construction in multiple wood species and painted finishes. Framed holds up better in humid bathrooms; frameless gives you more drawer depth. Particleboard boxes cost less but swell at seams over time. We spec plywood boxes with dovetail drawers for Hobe Sound’s coastal humidity.
• Countertops: Cambria quartz resists etching and never needs sealing, which matters when you’re cleaning toothpaste and hair products daily. It’s priced above cultured marble or solid surface, but homeowners who’ve replaced a stained vanity top once usually don’t want to do it again.
• Wall tile: Ceramic subway tile runs $3-$8 per square foot installed; porcelain large-format or natural stone climbs to $12-$25. Porcelain absorbs less water, critical in steamy Florida bathrooms. Natural stone needs sealing every 6-12 months. We steer most Hobe Sound clients toward porcelain or glass for vertical surfaces.
• Floor tile: Larger format (12×24 or 24×48) with minimal grout lines reduces mold habitat and cleans faster. Textured or matte finishes prevent slip without looking industrial. Heated floor systems add $800-$2,000 but pay off in resale and daily comfort during January cold snaps.
• Fixtures and trim: Brass and matte black finishes trend hard but show water spots; brushed nickel and chrome hide daily use better. Pressure-balancing shower valves are code-required and non-negotiable. We install Moen, Delta, or Kohler trim with accessible cartridge replacement.

What Vanities, Tile & Fixtures Costs in Hobe Sound, FL

Five variables push you toward the low or high end of that range. First, bathroom size: a powder room refresh with a 24-inch vanity and single wall of tile sits near $9,000; a master with double vanity, separate water closet, and full surround tile pushes $20,000-plus. Second, keeping your existing plumbing locations saves $1,500-$5,000 versus moving drains and vents. Third, material grade: Cambria quartz and imported porcelain tile double the material budget against stock ceramic and cultured marble. Fourth, subfloor or wall repair from old leaks adds unpredictable labor. Fifth, permit scope: Martin County requires permits for plumbing and electrical changes, and their inspection schedule can add a few days of holding cost.

A written estimate from us itemizes demo, disposal, materials, labor, permits, and a contingency line for hidden damage. It does not include your towel bars, mirrors, or paint beyond the bathroom walls. Those are easy adds if you want them priced in.

What Hobe Sound Homes Specifically Do to This Job

Hobe Sound’s split personality, mainland ranch versus barrier island luxury, creates two distinct vanities, tile & fixtures scenarios we see regularly.

On the mainland side in ZIP 33455, the 1960s-1980s Florida ranch homes often have original fiberglass shower surrounds, single-sink vanities with no storage, and floor tile set directly on plywood with no waterproofing membrane. We’ve pulled out vanity cabinets in neighborhoods near Bridge Road that crumbled at the toe kick from years of humidity wicking up through slab gaps. These jobs almost always need full substrate prep, sometimes sistered joists or a poured self-leveler before tile can go down.

Near the Intracoastal or on Jupiter Island-adjacent properties, the challenge flips. These homes get built to stringent wind-load and impact-rated standards, and HOAs often mandate specific exterior aesthetics that carry inside. We’ve had clients in communities off Gomez Road whose association required natural stone or porcelain tile minimums and prohibited certain vanity finishes. More critically, Martin County’s coastal construction regulations and FEMA flood zone requirements (much of Hobe Sound sits in AE and VE zones) mean elevated foundations and flood-vent-compliant assemblies. If your bathroom sits on a raised slab or pier foundation, we account for structural movement in our tile layout and use flexible sealants at junctions.

The salt-air corrosion within a mile of the Atlantic also means we spec brass or stainless supply stops, never zinc-coated, and we upgrade exhaust fans to continuous-operation models that actually evacuate moisture rather than recirculate it. Contractors who don’t know Hobe Sound’s coastal conditions often miss this and get callbacks for moldy grout six months later.

And because Hobe Sound sits entirely within Martin County, we navigate the same Development Review Committee processes that stop out-of-county contractors cold. If your property borders the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge or falls within gopher tortoise habitat buffers, even interior work can trigger environmental review if ground disturbance extends beyond the existing footprint. We check this before demo, not after a stop-work order.

Homeowners often pair interior bathroom updates with exterior envelope work. If you’re addressing roofing or siding as part of a larger project, we also handle Tile Roofing in Hobe Sound and Specialty Roofing in Hobe Sound under the same contract and schedule.
