How We Handle Vanities, Tile & Fixtures Start to Finish

We’ve done enough of these in our Ojus service area to know where the surprises hide. Here’s how we sequence the work so you’re never guessing what’s next.

Day 1: Protect and demo. We mask off the hallway and any adjacent rooms, then pull the existing vanity, mirror, lighting, toilet (if it’s in the way), and all wall and floor tile. For the 1950s-1970s concrete-block ranches common in Ojus, we often find original plaster or thick-set mortar beds that take longer to chip out than modern drywall-backed tile. That adds a few hours but doesn’t change the overall timeline. We haul everything off-site same day.

Day 2-3: Rough-in inspection and repair. With the walls open, we pressure-test supply lines and check drain slope. In older Ojus homes, galvanized supply lines or cast-iron drains often need replacement to meet current Miami-Dade plumbing code. If you’re keeping the toilet and tub/shower in place, we still verify the flange and trap are sound. This is the point where hidden water damage from our shallow water table shows up - we flag it, photograph it, and give you a change order before moving forward.

Day 4-6: Wall prep and tile layout. We install cement backer board on walls and floors, tape seams, and waterproof wet areas with a liquid membrane rated for flood-prone construction. Then we lay out your tile pattern dry, including cuts around windows, outlets, and the vanity footprint. For Ojus bathrooms with original jalousie windows, we often tile around the existing opening rather than replace it unless you’ve already ordered an impact-rated replacement. You sign off on the layout before any thinset gets mixed.

Day 7-9: Tile installation and grout. Wall tile goes up first, then floor tile after 24 hours of cure time. We use epoxy grout for floors and any shower walls - it holds up better against the mineral-heavy water in Miami-Dade. Grout cures 24 hours before we seal it. During this stage, your vanity cabinet arrives if it’s a stock or semi-custom order; custom KraftMaid or Wellborn builds typically need 4-6 weeks, so we time the demo accordingly.

Day 10-14: Vanity, fixtures, final hookup, and inspection. We set the cabinet, install the countertop (quartz, granite, or solid surface - your call), mount the sink, connect faucets, and install your lighting, mirror, and accessories. The toilet goes back in last. Then we call Miami-Dade County for final inspection, which in unincorporated Ojus pulls through the county’s central queue. We meet the inspector, address any punch items, and hand you the signed-off permit card.

Throughout the process, you’re deciding at three specific points: layout and material selection before demo, tile layout approval after prep, and fixture placement during final hookup. Everything else is on us.

The Material and Configuration Choices You’ll Actually Make

Our Bathroom Remodeling services aren’t a one-size-fits-all job. Here are the real decisions that move your number and your daily experience:

• Vanity cabinet construction: Stock particleboard boxes with thermofoil doors run lowest cost but swell at the toe kick when our shallow water table wicks up through slab edges. Plywood boxes with solid wood doors (KraftMaid’s standard semi-custom line, for example) cost 30-40% more but survive humidity cycles without delamination. For a guest bath used twice a month, stock might be fine. For your primary bath, plywood pays back.
• Countertop material: Cultured marble is the budget option at $40-$60 per square foot installed. Quartz - Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone - runs $75-$120 and doesn’t need sealing, which matters in a hard-water market. Granite sits between, requires annual sealing, and offers more variation if you want a statement piece. We templated all three from the same Ojus kitchen-and-bath supplier, so you’re not limited to what we stock.
• Wall tile body and finish: Ceramic wall tile is fine for dry areas. For shower surrounds, we spec porcelain with a matte or textured finish - glossy gets slick with soap residue. Large-format tiles (12×24 or bigger) need flatter walls and cost more to install because of the prep, but fewer grout lines means less maintenance. Subway tile is the middle ground: classic, forgiving on imperfect walls, easy to source.
• Floor tile and slip resistance: Porcelain with a COF (coefficient of friction) rating of 0.42 or higher is code for wet areas. We typically spec textured porcelain or small mosaic sheets for shower floors. In Ojus, where slab-on-grade construction can transmit cold, some homeowners choose luxury vinyl plank for the dry floor area instead - warmer underfoot, but it can’t carry into the shower.
• Fixture grade and finish: Builder-grade chrome faucets from a big-box store work for 5-7 years. Brass-bodied cartridges with ceramic disc valves - Moen, Delta, Kohler at their mid-tier and above - last 15+ and have replaceable parts. Matte black and brushed gold finishes are trending but show water spots more than chrome or nickel. We install whatever you supply, but we’ll tell you honestly what we’ve seen fail.

What Vanities, Tile & Fixtures Costs in Ojus, FL

Five factors push you to the low or high end of that full-package range:

Bathroom size and layout complexity. A 5×8 hall bath with the vanity, toilet, and tub on three walls is straightforward. A sprawling primary bath with double vanities, a freestanding tub, and a separate water closet doubles the tile count and fixture cost.

Plumbing relocation. Keeping the vanity where it sits avoids moving supply and drain lines - a $1,500-$4,000 savings. Moving the toilet or converting a tub to a shower (that’s a different page on our site) triggers more extensive rough-in work.

Existing condition and surprises. The 1950s-1970s housing stock in Ojus often conceals galvanized plumbing, ungrounded electrical, or prior homeowner repairs that don’t meet code. We build a 10% contingency into every estimate for this reason.

Material grade and brand tier. A KraftMaid semi-custom vanity with soft-close drawers and a Cambria quartz top runs roughly triple an off-the-shelf combo from a home center. The difference is in the joinery, the finish durability, and the warranty.

Permit and inspection scope. In unincorporated Ojus, all permits route through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department. If your project triggers HVHZ structural review - say, because you’re also replacing windows or the roof as part of a larger job - plan review extends the timeline and adds fees. For vanities, tile & fixtures alone, we typically pull a standard residential alteration permit.

Our written estimate includes demo, disposal, materials, labor, permit fees, and final inspection. It does not include your decorative mirror, towel bars, or any window replacement - those are separate line items if you want them.

What Ojus Homes Specifically Do to This Job

Ojus sits in a regulatory environment that reshapes even interior work. Because this is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, your permit pulls through the county’s central Building Department - not a city office like Aventura’s - and every inspector works to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard. We’ve seen out-of-area contractors misfile permits here, underpay fees, or spec materials that carry Florida product approval but lack the stricter Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That kills a project at inspection.

The housing stock matters too. Most Ojus bathrooms we enter are in 1950s-1970s concrete-block ranches with original plaster walls and slab-on-grade floors. The plaster is harder to demo than drywall but gives us a more solid tile substrate once we add backer board. The slab, though, sits on Miami Limestone with the water table often just a foot below - any crack in the slab or failed vapor barrier lets moisture wick up, and we’ve learned to check for that before setting a new vanity. If the toe kick or adjacent flooring shows staining, we recommend a moisture mitigation detail that adds $400-$800 but prevents cabinet swelling later.

Finally, many Ojus neighborhoods carry HOA architectural review requirements. We handle the submittal package - material samples, manufacturer cut sheets, scope narrative - so your board approval doesn’t hold up the permit.
