Whether big or small, a bathroom remodels in Naples often requires more than just cosmetic changes alone. To spruce up your space, you can paint your walls, swap out your basic shower head for a new one or hang new artwork on the walls, but most wouldn’t consider this a ‘remodel’ per se.

FLOORING INSTALLATION
As any bathroom designer will tell you, taking into consideration the wet environment of a bathroom is essential when picking out new flooring. Florida’s environment is humid to begin with, but add in a steamy hot shower and the bathroom becomes a room with humidity levels that rival the outside atmosphere. For this reason, most of our customers choose floor tiles, such as ceramic tiles, for their bathroom remodels in Naples, FL.
If you have an older home, you may be interested in updating those boring beige tiles with something a little more modern and exciting. At Mr. Handyman, we have the expertise to remove your old flooring, properly prepare your subfloor and underlayment (ensuring that your new tile is placed on top of a solid foundation), efficiently and accurately lay your new tiles, grout your tiles, and then finally add a grout sealant if necessary. Laying tile is one of the most challenging flooring projects, and when you’re spending a pretty penny on your bathroom remodel, you want it done right. You can trust us to do just that.
Some of the tile materials we’ve used before and suggest using in Florida bathrooms include:
- Glazed porcelain
- Glazed ceramic
- Glazed marble tile
- Mosaic tile
Glazed tiles are much more water-resistant and easy to clean. Though marble is a popular choice for natural stone floors, slate is another option. Any porous stone should be thoroughly sealed to protect your floors from shifting or incurring water damage.
If tile just isn’t your thing, we can also install vinyl flooring in your bathroom. Vinyl flooring has come a long way since it first appeared on the market and can now mimic stone tile and wood alike. Vinyl is also waterproof, as it is made entirely from PVC. This also means it won’t warp in high-humidity environments such as bathrooms. To install vinyl, we may not even need to remove your existing flooring! We’ll take a look at the structural integrity of your current flooring and use our experience and expertise to determine whether this is an option.
CABINET AND VANITY INSTALLATION
There are several reasons why homeowners may choose to undertake a bathroom remodel in Naples, FL. It may be that the bathroom just looks old and outdated and needs a major revamp to bring it into the modern day. Or, your existing shower or bath may not be meeting your spa-like expectations. There’s a third reason that homeowners may make major changes to their bathrooms: to create extra space.
A lack of storage space is a common problem in many Florida bathrooms. For whatever reason, storage isn’t well thought out and homeowners find themselves struggling to organize their toiletries, cleaning supplies, makeup, hair appliances, and towels without leaving everything sprawled across their bathroom countertops.
As mentioned above, we aren’t just handymen, but we’re also general contractors. This remains true, but our service professionals also have another talent—carpentry. As carpentry experts, our handyman team can build custom cabinets for your bathroom to suit your space and your storage needs. Whether you want to create more storage space in your vanity itself or would like wall cabinets and shelves put up, we can do it all.
DOOR INSTALLATION FOR BATHROOM REMODELS IN NAPLES, FL
While we’re on the topic of optimizing your space, we have to mention door installation. If the bathroom door wasn’t on your list of things to change during your Naples bathroom remodeling project, it should be.
Most Florida homes have standard hollow-core hinged doors separating rooms within their home’s interiors. This type of door usually comes pre-hung at a very low cost, making it a popular choice for builders. Though they’re cost-effective, they’re not always practical—especially for small spaces. If your bathroom is feeling extra cramped because of its door, consider installing one of the following types of doors:
- Barn doors
- Pocket doors
- Sliding doors
All of these doors slide across a single horizontal plane instead of swinging outwards or inwards. They’re either connected to a track on the floor or above the entryway, making them fantastic for small spaces. Our handyman experts are experienced enough in carpentry to be able to install these door types—among others—not just in your bathroom, but across other areas of your home as well.
