Bathroom remodeling in Jacksonville Beach, FL
Bathrooms, showers and tubs in Jacksonville Beach. Call and say what you want changed, in English or Spanish.
The beaches mix 1950s and 1960s block cottages with the larger houses that replaced many of them from the 1990s on. The cottages have small original baths; the newer houses have primary baths with a tub nobody uses and outdoor showers that see sand every day. Bathroom remodeling in Neptune Beach is mostly the cottage baths: a tub-to-shower conversion in a five-by-eight room, a window that has to move off the wet wall, and a floor that was never tiled over the slab.
Salt air is hard on anything metal, including exhaust fan dampers and exterior vent caps, and a bathroom fan that does not really vent outside shows it quickly here. Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach each have their own building department; Mayport and the unincorporated strip are the City of Jacksonville.

- Ventilation
- The Florida Building Code requires bath exhaust to go directly outdoors, not into the attic. Near salt water, a corrosion-resistant vent cap and damper last longer. The EPA advises keeping indoor humidity under 60 percent. Source →
