Bathroom Remodeling in Ponte Vedra, FL
Complete bathroom remodels built for coastal humidity, salt air and slab-on-grade construction — from Ponte Vedra Beach to Nocatee and Sawgrass.
Why Ponte Vedra Bathrooms Fail Differently
Ponte Vedra bathrooms take stress that a builder-grade installation was never designed to handle. Salt-laden air travels well inland across the Intracoastal, pitting cheap hinge hardware and chrome trim within a few seasons. High water tables and slab-on-grade construction mean a leak has nowhere to drain — it wicks sideways through the slab and surfaces months later as failed grout or a soft baseboard in the next room.
New Empire Remodeling has completed more than 300 projects across Northeast Florida. We handle the entire bathroom: demolition, framing, waterproofing, plumbing, tile, vanities, glass and finish work. One crew, one point of contact, and a written price before anything is torn out.
Waterproofing Is the Stage Nobody Sees
We install a continuous waterproofing membrane that runs up the shower wall, not just across the pan. In coastal Florida, a shower waterproofed only at floor level will eventually push moisture into the adjacent wall cavity. Most of the failed bathrooms we are called to repair trace back to this single shortcut.

Slab Construction Changes What Is Possible
Most Ponte Vedra and Nocatee-era homes sit on concrete slab with no crawlspace. There is no access from below, so relocating a shower drain or toilet means cutting and repouring concrete. It is a real cost, and we identify it during the estimate rather than discovering it mid-project. A curbless walk-in shower is absolutely possible on slab — it requires recessing the slab or building up the surrounding floor to create slope to a linear drain, and we will show you which approach fits your existing floor height.
Ventilation Sized for Florida Humidity
Northeast Florida runs high humidity most of the year. A bathroom sealed up tight and under-ventilated will grow mold behind the vanity regardless of how good the tile work looks. Original builder fans are almost always undersized for the load here. We upgrade exhaust on nearly every Ponte Vedra project and duct it to the exterior — never into the attic.

What a Complete Remodel Includes
Demolition down to studs and slab. Inspection of subfloor, framing and supply lines before finish work is quoted. Plumbing and electrical rough-in. Continuous waterproofing. Large-format tile set over properly prepared substrate with correct movement joints. Vanities, countertops, frameless glass, fixtures and paint. Every project carries a 1-year written warranty on workmanship.
Bathroom Remodel Cost in Ponte Vedra
Bathroom remodels in the Ponte Vedra area typically run $8,000 to $35,000+. The range is wide because scope varies enormously. Keeping fixtures in place is dramatically cheaper than moving a drain through slab. A standard alcove shower costs less than a curbless walk-in with a linear drain and frameless glass. Tile size, vanity selection and hidden conditions behind the walls all move the number. You receive a fixed scope and price before demolition begins — and if we open a wall and find something that changes the work, you see it, we price it, and you decide before we proceed.
Bathroom Remodeling in Ponte Vedra — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a complete bathroom remodel take in Ponte Vedra?
Most complete bathroom remodels take two to three weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Custom vanities, imported tile and glass fabrication carry lead times, which is why we order materials before demolition rather than after — so the schedule is driven by the work, not by waiting on deliveries.
Do I need HOA approval for a bathroom remodel?
Interior work usually does not require architectural review, but many Ponte Vedra communities require contractor registration, proof of insurance, and restrict work hours or dumpster placement. We confirm those requirements with your community before scheduling.
Can you move the shower or toilet to a different wall?
Yes, but on slab-on-grade construction it means cutting and repouring concrete to reroute drain lines. It is a real cost, and we identify it during the estimate rather than after demolition.
Is a curbless walk-in shower possible on a concrete slab?
Yes. It requires recessing the slab or building up the surrounding floor to create slope to a linear drain. We do these regularly and will show you which approach fits your existing floor height.
How do you prevent mold in a coastal bathroom?
Three things: continuous waterproofing that extends up the walls, correctly sized exhaust ventilation ducted to the exterior, and mold-resistant substrate behind tile. Most failures we are called to repair trace back to one of those three being skipped.
Does a bathroom remodel require a permit?
For a straightforward restoration — new tile, vanity, fixtures and finishes without relocating plumbing — a permit is generally not required. If the project involves moving drain lines, altering the plumbing layout or electrical changes, permitting comes into play and we handle it as part of the project. We tell you which category your bathroom falls into during the estimate.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Ponte Vedra?
Typically $8,000 to $35,000+, depending on layout changes, shower construction, tile and fixtures. We provide a fixed written price after seeing the space.
What warranty do you offer?
Every project carries a 1-year written warranty covering workmanship. If something is not right, we come back.
