Bathroom remodeling in Fernandina Beach, FL
Bathrooms, showers and tubs in Fernandina Beach. Call and say what you want changed, in English or Spanish.
Fernandina's historic downtown has Victorian houses from the 1870s to the 1920s, with bathrooms that were fitted into rooms never designed for them. The island's condos and resort communities are largely 1970s and 1980s, and on the mainland Yulee is growing with new subdivisions whose bathrooms are only a few years old.
In the older houses, the bathroom is often the room that most needs to be rethought, not just refinished: floor framing, drains and ventilation all get attention. Island condos come with association rules on work hours and contractors. Fernandina Beach and Nassau County each have their own building department.
