Major remodels often gobble up time and money. Before demolishing everything, consider targeted renovations that will make the greatest impact in a room. These fixes all require expertise but are significantly less expensive than gutting, making them ideal entry points to give an outdated bathroom some much-needed life.
Shower Upgrading
Bathroom remodeling for Stuart homes often focuses first on the shower. Large-format tiles, detailed mosaics, or a sleek linear drain can create a ‘spa-like’ feel and elevate the everyday routine into the realm of pure luxury. And the advantages are not only aesthetic. A well-designed shower enhances daily use in practical ways:
- Curbless entry for smooth, safe aging in place
- Built-in niches that keep products organized
- Rainfall or multi-head systems that make any shower a mini spa session
- Strategic tile layouts that make small showers appear larger
That result requires precise slope work for proper drainage, layered waterproofing to handle humidity, and expert tile installation to avoid future cracks or leaks—precisely the kind of skills our team at Santangelo Construction has honed.
Reconfiguration of Vanity Placement and Size
The vanity often sets the bathroom’s rhythm and feel. If it sits in an awkward corner or limits you to a single sink, the room won’t function well. Moving the vanity to another wall—or even nudging it a few feet—can completely redefine how the space works and looks.
This kind of change involves plumbing rerouting, structural considerations for wall changes, and subfloor work, all of which require the coordination of seasoned general contractors who understand both the technical and design aspects.
Engineered Ventilation and Moisture Management
Of all the elements that can degrade a bathroom, moisture and humidity are the worst. That musty smell, the fogged-up mirrors, and the constant mildew battles all make the space feel neglected. A properly engineered ventilation system changes everything. It has an immediate effect: Mirrors don’t steam up anymore, towels dry, and the stifling humidity after showers dissipates in a matter of minutes.
Getting it right means correctly calculated CFM for the room, ductwork of the correct size routed through attic spaces, and humidity-sensing controls; expert work that leverages our understanding of Florida’s coastal moisture challenges.
