Bathroom Remodeling
A tired bathroom rarely fails all at once. First the grout darkens, then the shower door stops sealing, then a soft spot appears near the tub. By the time most Boca Raton homeowners call us, they are ready for a bathroom that feels clean, bright and easy to live with again.
Bathroom Remodeling
Tile samples are the fun part, but they are not where a great bathroom begins. It begins with the first ten minutes of your day: who uses the room, how long the line gets, where towels end up and whether anyone has to step over a tub wall to shower.
We walk through that routine with you before sketching anything. The answers tell us whether the room needs a second sink, a larger shower instead of a tub, a separate toilet room, more drawer space or better light at the mirror. Once the layout solves those daily frustrations, we choose finishes that make it beautiful.
One coordinated crew handles each bathroom service listed here, so your plumber, tile setter and glass installer work from the same set of drawings.
The primary bath is where the biggest changes happen. We reshape floor plans to make room for a roomier shower, two sinks, an enclosed toilet or a soaking tub, frequently borrowing space from a bulky tub platform or neighboring closet.
Guest and hall baths work hard for visitors, kids and future buyers. We replace dated tub surrounds, cramped vanities and dull lighting with durable, easy-to-clean surfaces and smart storage, keeping the budget focused on what guests actually notice and use.
Walk-in showers are built from the subfloor up with sloped pans, continuous waterproofing, built-in benches, recessed niches and thermostatic valves. We place rain heads, handheld wands and body sprays where they make sense for your height and how you shower.
Frameless and semi-frameless glass is measured after tile is set, then cut to your exact opening. Clear, low-iron or textured glass, hinged or sliding panels and coordinated hardware finishes make the shower feel open while keeping water where it belongs.
For homeowners who love a long bath, we install freestanding soakers, drop-in tubs with tiled decks and deep alcove tubs. Heavy cast iron or stone models get a floor check first, and we plan faucet placement before tile goes up.
Floating vanities, double sinks, makeup counters and furniture-style cabinets are sized to your room and routine. We add drawer dividers, outlets inside cabinets for hair tools, lighted medicine cabinets and linen towers so the countertop stays clear every single morning.
Large-format porcelain, marble, mosaics and slab walls are installed on flat, properly prepared surfaces. Layered lighting pairs recessed fixtures with mirror lights and night lighting, so the room is bright for grooming and gentle when you walk in at night.
Across Boca Raton, plenty of hall and primary baths still hold a tub that gets used twice a year. Swapping it for a walk-in shower makes the room safer, easier to clean and noticeably more open. For owners planning to stay in their homes for years, few changes pay off as quickly in everyday comfort. A conversion done right is a small rebuild, not a quick insert. Families with small children, or sellers who want a tub for resale, can keep one in another bathroom. We help you pick which room keeps it before demolition starts. Here's what a full MIA tub-to-shower conversion includes:
We remove the old tub, wall surround and damaged backer board, then inspect the framing and subfloor for hidden water damage before rebuilding anything.
Old tub valves sit too low for showering. Our licensed plumbers raise the valve, center the drain and add handheld or rain head connections.
We build a sloped shower floor with a continuous membrane, choosing a low curb or curbless entry based on your slab and your mobility.
A built-in bench, recessed storage niche at a reachable height and custom glass panel finish the shower, so it looks original rather than retrofitted.
Safety features look best when they're designed in from the start rather than bolted on later. These details keep the room comfortable for decades without a clinical feel:
Without a curb, bathroom tile continues into the shower gently toward a linear drain, so walking, rolling or carrying kids inside takes no effort.
Bars that double as towel holders or match your fixture finish are anchored into solid wall blocking, giving support without looking like hospital equipment.
Floating benches or fold-down teak seats at a comfortable height let you sit while washing, shaving legs or resting, and free up floor space.
Taller toilets and vanities reduce bending for everyone, and wall-mounted options leave open floor below for easier cleaning and future wheelchair or walker access.
Widened doorways and open turning space around the toilet and vanity keep the bathroom usable if mobility ever changes, without a costly second remodel.
Textured porcelain, smaller shower floor tiles and bright, even lighting with motion night lights reduce slips and make nighttime trips safer for every age.
A slide-bar handheld shower and a thermostatic or pressure-balance valve make washing easier and protect everyone against sudden hot water when someone flushes elsewhere. Adding wall blocking now costs little and saves opening finished tile later. Many younger Boca families ask for curbless showers too, simply because they are easier to use and clean.
Tile and grout shed water, but they are not waterproof. What sits behind them decides whether your new bathroom lasts. Every MIA shower includes:
A bonded waterproofing membrane covers every shower wall and floor seam, so moisture that passes through grout never reaches the framing, drywall or subfloor.
The shower floor slopes evenly toward the drain, so water never sits in corners or along the curb where mold and grout failure start.
Every niche, bench and window ledge is wrapped and sloped inside the membrane, closing off the weak spots where most shower leaks quietly begin.
We plug the drain and fill the shower base with water before tiling. If the level drops, we fix it while repairs are easy.
A properly sized, quiet exhaust fan clears steam quickly, protecting paint, cabinetry and ceilings from Florida humidity long after the shower is turned off. When you compare bathroom contractors, ask which waterproofing system they use, whether they flood test, and who pays if it leaks. We answer all three in writing.
In larger Boca homes, the primary bath often becomes a private retreat. These are the upgrades that turn a bathroom into a spa you use every day:
A sealed enclosure, steam generator and vapor-proof lighting turn your shower into a steam room, with controls you can preset from outside the door.
Placing the tub inside a glass-enclosed shower zone creates a dramatic, easy-to-clean wet room that keeps splashes contained and feels like a boutique hotel.
Electric radiant mats under porcelain or stone warm the floor on cool mornings and help the room dry faster after every shower or bath.
Large porcelain or marble slabs reduce grout lines, and book-matched panels create a mirrored vein pattern that becomes the room's beautiful natural focal point.
Digital shower controls, bidet toilets, backlit mirrors with defoggers and touchless faucets add convenience you notice every single morning without cluttering the clean design.
A condo bathroom sits directly above a neighbor's ceiling, so it has to be built with more care than a bathroom in a house. We plan for:
Full membrane waterproofing, flood testing and brand-new supply lines protect the unit below, your association relationship and your insurance record from the first day.
We assemble the full approval package, contractor licenses, insurance certificates naming the association, and the scope of work before any tools enter the building.
Toilets and shower drains usually stay near the building's shared stacks. We design a layout that works with them instead of fighting the structure.
Where your building requires it, we install approved acoustic underlayment beneath bathroom tile so footsteps and dropped items don't travel to your neighbor's ceiling.
Elevator reservations, approved work hours, padded hallways and daily debris removal are scheduled with your building manager, keeping neighbors calm and the board cooperative.
Your bathroom should match your home and your taste. These are five directions Boca homeowners often choose, each adaptable to any size room:
Large-format porcelain, a floating wood vanity, linear drains and warm, indirect lighting create a calm, uncluttered room that feels like a true boutique spa.
White oak, sea-glass greens and soft blues, textured tile and plenty of natural light bring an easy, relaxed beachy feel to East Boca homes.
Carrara or Calacatta marble surfaces, polished nickel fixtures, framed mirrors and painted inset cabinetry deliver a timeless bathroom that never feels trendy or dated.
Slab walls, matte black or brushed brass fixtures, frameless glass and dramatic accent lighting make a confident statement in modern homes and high-rise condos.
Warm stone, arched niches, handmade terracotta-toned tile and rich wood tones beautifully complement the Mizner-inspired architecture found in many older, established Boca Raton neighborhoods. Torn between two looks? We can render both in 3D using your actual room, so you choose with confidence instead of guessing from small samples.

Swapping a mirror or faucet rarely needs paperwork. Relocating a toilet, building a new shower, adding circuits or moving a wall usually does. Inside city limits, the City of Boca Raton issues the permit, while large parts of West Boca are handled by Palm Beach County.
MIA checks which office covers your address, draws the plans, files the application and books every inspection. Because unpermitted bathroom work can cause trouble during a sale, refinance or insurance claim, we keep the permit, inspection results and final sign-off on file and hand you copies at closeout.
Bathroom pricing varies widely, and no honest number comes before someone sees the room. Here is what pushes a Boca bathroom budget up or down:
A powder room refresh, a guest bath update and a primary suite rebuild are very different projects with different labor, material and timeline needs.
Keeping the toilet, shower and vanity in place saves money. Relocating any of them means new drain lines, venting and cutting into the slab.
Curbless entries, steam systems, multiple shower heads and custom glass enclosures add materials and labor compared with a standard tiled shower and simple door.
Material price, tile size and pattern complexity all affect cost. Herringbone floors, mosaic walls and natural stone take noticeably more time than simple layouts.
Stock vanities cost less than custom pieces, and thermostatic valves, smart toilets and designer faucets sit at higher price points than standard fixtures do.
City or county permits, inspections, and condo or HOA requirements such as insurance certificates and sound-rated underlayment belong in the budget from the start.
Rotted subfloors, mold or failing cast iron drains often hide behind old tile. Planning a small contingency keeps these discoveries from stalling the project. Each free 3D design arrives with a line-by-line estimate. To stretch the budget, leave plumbing where it sits, splurge on one feature tile and keep the rest simple.
Our Process
Plenty of trades work in one small room during a bathroom remodel. This is the sequence we follow, so nothing gets skipped or rushed:
We measure the room, ask about your daily routine, note any mobility needs and discuss budget, so the design solves problems from the start.
Our designers model your layout, shower, vanity, tile and fixtures in 3D, and we adjust every detail with you until the room feels right.
You finalize tile, fixtures, vanity and glass. We order your materials, prepare drawings and submit permits and any condo or HOA paperwork in parallel.
Demolition, plumbing and electrical, inspections, membrane waterproofing and the flood test come first, followed by tile, fixtures, vanity and the final custom glass installation.
We test every fixture, drain and fan with you, complete any punch list items and walk you through caring for your tile and glass. One project manager answers every question from demolition to the final wipe-down. We protect nearby rooms from dust, clean the work area daily and warn you before noisy days.
Swapping a vanity is easy. Designing, permitting, waterproofing and replumbing a whole bathroom with one licensed in-house team is not, and that difference shows for years:
MIA holds Florida Certified Plumbing Contractor license CFC1434602, so drains, valves, toilets and supply lines are moved and connected by our own licensed team.
Our Certified General Contractor license CGC1535875 covers walls, framing, electrical coordination and permits, giving you one fully accountable company for the entire bathroom remodel.
Every shower gets a continuous membrane and a flood test before tile. We document it, so you know this critical layer was done right.
Your free 3D design shows the layout, tile, vanity and lighting together, so you approve the finished look before a single wall is opened.
Curbless entries, blocking for grab bars, comfort-height fixtures and wider doors are built into the design, keeping the bathroom safe for years and attractive.
Our Boca Raton office sits at 6560 W Rogers Circle, and MIA holds 5.0 stars across 213 Google reviews, plus BBB Accreditation since 2025.

Our bathroom crews work in houses, townhomes and condo towers across Boca Raton, from Boca Raton Riviera, Golden Harbour and Old Floresta to Boca Square, Spanish River and Boca Raton Hills, and west to Boca West, Mission Bay, Polo Club and Broken Sound. Neighbors just past the city line in Parkland, Deerfield Beach, Highland Beach and Delray Beach book our bathroom team as well.
Every part of town has its own bathroom story. Riviera and East Boca houses often keep their original 1960s and 1970s tile, West Boca club homes usually have big primary baths built around unused tub platforms, and A1A condos demand extra care for the unit below.

We updated a very old bathroom and had a great experience. The workers arrived on time, cleaned up after themselves, and the quality control manager followed up at every stage to make sure everything looked exactly right. The end result is beautiful, fresh, bright and clean.

The biggest factors are bathroom size, layout changes, shower design, tile and stone choices, vanity and fixture level, permits, and any HOA or condo requirements. Moving plumbing or building a curbless or steam shower adds cost. MIA provides a free 3D design and an itemized estimate before you commit.
Plan storage before tile, because clear counters matter every day. Insist on a continuous waterproofing membrane and a flood test. Plan lighting at the mirror, not just overhead. Confirm who handles permits. If you plan to stay long term, consider a curbless shower and wall blocking for grab bars now.
It depends on scope, material lead times, permit review and any condo approval. A guest bath refresh moves faster than a primary suite that relocates plumbing. After your 3D design, MIA gives you a written timeline that includes permits and approvals.
Yes. We remove the tub, adjust the drain and valve, waterproof and tile a new shower, add a bench or niche, and finish with glass. We can also help you decide which bathroom should keep a tub for resale.
Often, yes, but it depends on the slab and the building. A curbless shower needs a recessed or built-up floor and a linear drain. In condos, we check the slab, the plumbing risers and association rules before designing it.
Most bathroom remodels that move plumbing, add circuits, change walls or build a new shower need a permit. Homes inside city limits are permitted by the City of Boca Raton. Many West Boca addresses are permitted by Palm Beach County. MIA handles the permit for you.
Yes. We install grab bars with solid wall blocking, shower seats, comfort-height toilets and vanities, handheld showers, slip-resistant tile and wider doorways, all designed to look like part of the bathroom.
Both. MIA's in-house team designs your bathroom in 3D for free, then permits, plumbs and builds it. You work with one company from start to finish.
