A shower can look new on the outside and still have problems behind the wall. Tile and grout are not a full waterproof barrier. Shower tile work must be planned with the right backing and waterproofing system for the space. For a shower wall tile project, the scope may include:
We also look at where the walls meet the shower floor, the corners, and the shower fixtures. These areas need careful planning because they get wet during normal use. If you need a whole new shower, including the base, drain, and fixtures, see our Shower Installation in Hollywood service.
The city checklist lists minimum sound ratings of STC 50 and IIC 50 for applicable floor assemblies. Ground-floor condo units are treated differently under this specific flooring checklist. Other bathroom work may still need permit review. Before booking bathroom floor tile work, ask your building manager about renovation hours, elevator access, material delivery, debris removal, and association approval.
If an active leak is found, its source must be fixed before the affected area is closed.
The City of Hollywood has a bathroom remodeling checklist for projects that replace parts of an existing permitted bathroom. The type of work matters. A focused wall tile update may have different requirements from a project that replaces a shower floor, changes plumbing, or removes walls. If the job includes replacing shower floor tile as part of a shower remodel, the city checklist calls for shower pan details. Other plumbing or building work may also need permits. Hollywood uses the Accela Citizen Access portal for new permit applications. Property owners can use city permit resources to review permit records and learn what documents may be needed. Before work starts, we recommend checking the exact scope with the City of Hollywood Building Division. Condo association rules may also apply.
Your bathroom may need new shower wall tile, floor tile, a bathtub surround, or a small tile replacement. Tell JDS Home Remodeling Hollywood which area needs work. We can review your project details and help you request an estimate for bathroom tile installation. Call (786) 562-0976 to request your bathroom tile installation estimate.
