Bathroom Remodeling in Ponte Vedra, FL
Ponte Vedra primary baths are usually the headline of a renovation, not a side project. Steam showers, freestanding tubs, slab-stone surrounds, brass or PVD fixtures spec'd for salt-air. Mark's design-build process matches what referral-driven Ponte Vedra clients expect — fewer surprises, one phone number, premium finishes installed by a Florida-licensed CGC. St. Johns County permits in-house.
Built to Ponte Vedra standards.
Ponte Vedra homeowners don't comparison-shop on price. They select a contractor the way they select an attorney or a private banker — through trusted referrals and verifiable credentials. Mark's institutional pedigree (UNF Building Construction degree, Certified General Contractor + Pool/Spa Contractor licenses, hospital + courthouse experience) reads as the right kind of authority for the Ponte Vedra primary-bath, pool, or Renaissance patio project.

I work with ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and glass tile to build beautiful shower surrounds, accent walls, and durable flooring. My precise installation includes proper substrate preparation, waterproof membranes in wet areas, and expert grouting for a finished look that lasts for years.

I install grab bars, curbless showers, comfort-height toilets, wider doorways, non-slip flooring, and handheld showerheads. My accessible bathroom designs blend seamlessly with your home's style while providing the safety features you need now and in the future.
The local-knowledge details I won't skip.
Salt-air fixture finish. Polished chrome corrodes faster on the east side of A1A. PVD-coated finishes (champagne bronze, brushed gold) and solid brass hold up; cheaper plated finishes pit within 2 years.
Vent fan capacity beyond code minimum. A 50 CFM fan in a 14×16 Ponte Vedra master bath with a steam shower is a mold complaint waiting to happen. Spec 150 CFM minimum with humidistat, vented to the exterior — not the soffit.
Steam shower as its own permit detail. A residential steam shower is a separate generator install, dedicated electrical, sealed-vapor enclosure, and waterproofing spec'd for continuous moisture. Don't fold it into the standard bathroom permit.
Slab stone substrate prep. Large-format porcelain slabs and natural stone over a residential slab need self-leveling underlayment plus an uncoupling membrane to prevent crack telegraphing. Skipping this saves a day; pays for itself in callbacks.
Septic capacity for added fixtures. Older Ponte Vedra east-of-A1A homes are still on septic; adding a second toilet or a steam shower can push the system past its design load. Verify before scope, not after install.
Permits pulled in-house, every job.
St. Johns County permits are issued by the Building Services Division. Coastal construction control line setbacks apply east of A1A; lots in flood zones require elevation certificates before permitting.
The questions Ponte Vedra homeowners ask first.
Will I be able to use my bathroom during the renovation?
For most bathroom remodels, the bathroom will be completely unusable during construction. I work efficiently to minimize downtime, but plumbing disconnection, demolition, and installation work make the space inaccessible and unsafe. If you're remodeling your only bathroom, you'll need alternative arrangements—using another bathroom in your home, a neighbor's or family member's facility, or temporary solutions. For homes with multiple bathrooms, I can often phase work to maintain access to at least one functional bathroom.
What should I do if mold or water damage is discovered during demolition?
It's common to discover hidden water damage or mold when removing old tile, tubs, or vanities in bathrooms—this isn't necessarily a reflection on previous workmanship but rather the nature of moisture-prone spaces. When I encounter these issues, I immediately document and discuss them with you. Water-damaged subflooring, studs, or drywall must be replaced before continuing, and mold requires proper remediation. While this adds to project costs and timeline, addressing these problems is essential for your health and to prevent future damage.
Should I choose a tub or a shower for my bathroom?
The tub-versus-shower decision depends on your household needs, resale considerations, and personal preferences. If you have young children or pets that need bathing, at least one tub in your home is practical. Many homeowners prefer the quick convenience and accessibility of walk-in showers, especially in master bathrooms. From a resale perspective, having at least one bathtub in your home is often recommended. Space is also a factor—showers can make small bathrooms feel larger, while tubs require more square footage.
