What's Included

Bathrooms built to survive Florida humidity.

A bathroom remodel with Rich Warchol Design covers the full scope: layout and fixture placement, vanity design and construction, shower or tub build-out, tile and stone, plumbing and electrical coordination, lighting, mirrors, hardware, and the final finish work. Whether it's a small hall bath or a primary suite, the same team designs and builds it, so the details line up the way they were drawn.

Why First Coast homeowners choose us

Florida bathrooms fail in predictable ways. Humidity finds every gap, grout cracks along movement joints, and drywall behind tile wicks moisture until it softens. After more than twenty years remodeling homes from Jacksonville down to St. Augustine and out to Fernandina Beach, Rich knows which details hold up and which are cosmetic. We build showers with sloped pre-pans and membrane waterproofing before the tile ever goes up, because that's the difference between a bathroom that lasts five years and one that lasts thirty.

Clients also come to us because the bathroom remodel happens in a part of the house you can't avoid. We treat the schedule like it matters. You'll know when the toilet comes out, when water is off, and when you'll have it back.

Materials and approach

Vanities are built in our shop the same way we build kitchen cabinetry, hardwood frames, plywood boxes, soft-close hardware, and a finish that resists humidity. Building them in-house means the vanity fits the wall and the plumbing, no filler strips, no compromise on drawer layout. Countertops are typically quartz, chosen because it doesn't need sealing and stands up to daily water exposure.

Tile selection is where most bathrooms either look right or look generic. We help you choose field tile, accent tile, and grout color as a system, not a collection. Large-format porcelain, zellige, handmade ceramic, and natural stone all behave differently, and we'll tell you which one fits how you actually live.

Worth knowing before you start

The cheapest part of a bathroom to change is the layout, until you move plumbing. If your current layout works, keeping fixtures in place saves thousands and weeks. If the layout doesn't work, we'll show you why and quote the change honestly. Bring photos of your current bathroom and a few you like, and we'll start there.

When a bathroom is part of something bigger

Bathrooms often tie into larger projects. A primary suite remodel may be part of a whole-home renovation, or a hall bathroom update may happen alongside a flooring replacement that runs through the same hallway. We can scope adjoining work together so finishes stay consistent and you're not living through two separate construction windows.

Questions

Bathroom remodel FAQs.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Jacksonville?
A guest or hall bathroom typically runs $15,000 to $30,000. A primary bathroom with a custom shower and built-in vanity usually lands between $30,000 and $60,000. Tile selection, plumbing changes, and waterproofing detail are the biggest variables. We give you a fixed quote after design, so you approve the number before work begins.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A standard bathroom takes three to five weeks. Larger primary bathrooms with extensive custom tile can run six to eight weeks. We schedule plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, and tile in sequence so the timeline stays tight, and we'll tell you up front when you'll be without water.
Do you do waterproofing behind the tile?
Every shower we build gets a full membrane waterproofing system with a sloped pre-pan and sealed seams before any tile is set. This is the single most important detail in a Florida bathroom, and it's the difference between a remodel that lasts thirty years and one that fails in five.
Can you build a custom vanity?
Yes. We build vanities in-house to fit the exact width and storage needs of your bathroom. That means no filler panels, the drawer layout you actually want, and a finish that resists humidity. See our custom cabinetry page for more on construction.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical permits?
Yes. We pull all required permits and schedule inspections through the City of Jacksonville or your local jurisdiction. As a Florida licensed contractor (FL #CRC1326797), permitting is part of the scope, not an extra line item.
