Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
Primary suites and spa showers for Gardens golf and gated communities · CBC1269429
In Palm Beach Gardens, the bathroom we're usually asked to rebuild is the primary suite in a golf or gated community home. It tends to have a large footprint, a garden tub and a shower that's too small for it. We turn that space into a walk-in spa shower with frameless glass, dual heads, a bench and a double vanity with lit mirrors. It's the same layout we built in nearby Jupiter Farms, shown below.

Nearly every Gardens community has its own contractor rules: registration, insurance certificates, gate passes, permitted work hours, dumpster placement and sometimes architectural review. We set this up before we schedule demolition, so the crew gets in on day one.
Florida HB 803 took effect July 1, 2026. It lets single-family owners skip a building permit for some work valued under $7,500, but it does not cover plumbing, electrical, structural, mechanical or gas work, it does not apply in flood hazard areas, and a project cannot be split up to stay under the limit. A real remodel moves drains, valves or wiring, so plan on a permit. We file it and close it out.
Removing a built-in garden tub frees up enough floor for a walk-in shower big enough for two heads and a bench. We reroute supply and drain lines, build a fully waterproofed shower system, and finish with large-format porcelain, a pebble or mosaic floor and frameless glass.
Porcelain tile, quartz vanity tops and sealed grout stand up to South Florida humidity far better than natural marble in a busy shower. We'll show you which finishes look like stone without the upkeep.

No. Florida HB 803, effective July 1, 2026, exempts some single-family work valued under $7,500 from a building permit, but it does not cover plumbing, electrical, structural, mechanical or gas work, and it does not apply in flood hazard areas.
