Bathroom remodeling · Tradition, FL

Bathroom remodeling in Tradition, FL, past the builder bath.

Tradition's first homes went up in 2004, and most still have the bath the builder put in. We replace it with a tiled walk-in shower, a real vanity and stone you picked, ten minutes from our St. Lucie West office.

Tradition, St. Lucie County

Vitalia, Del Webb and the walk-in question.

In Tradition's 55+ neighborhoods, the first thing people ask about is getting in and out of the shower. A low curb or a curbless floor, a bench, backing in the walls for grab bars later: those get settled at the consultation, before any tile is picked.

The HOA can't stop interior work nobody sees from the street, under a 2024 Florida law. The gate list and work hours are still theirs, so we sort those out when the start date is set.

Tradition was a cattle ranch west of I-95 until Town Hall and Town Square opened in April 2003, and Mattamy Homes took over as master developer in 2018. Most homes come from national production builders, from the first 2004 and 2005 neighborhoods to new phases still going up. The early homes are now 20 years old, and many still have their original builder baths.

What we build in Tradition

Down to the studs, back up in tile.

A full remodel means the old tile and drywall come out and the room gets rebuilt around how you use it. Shower size, tub, vanity and niches are planned together, so nothing fights for the same wall.

Before you remodel

What to know in Tradition.

Permits

City of Port St. Lucie Building Department

Tradition is inside Port St. Lucie city limits, so the city's Building Department issues permits, not St. Lucie County. Your neighborhood HOA handles its own approvals separately.

Permit office

  • Permits come from the City of Port St. Lucie, not Tradition and not the county.

  • Florida Statute 720.3035 keeps HOAs out of interior changes not visible from outside, so a bath or kitchen gut usually skips architectural review. Exterior work does not.

  • Vitalia and Del Webb Tradition are 55+ neighborhoods, where curbless showers, wider entries and grab-bar backing come up early in planning.

  • Gated neighborhoods need contractor names on the gate list before day one, so set that up when the schedule is set.

    Working with Top Design Tile for our new‑construction home was one of the best decisions we made. They handled all of our flooring and bathroom tile work, and the results are truly beyond anything we imagined. Our design vision was brought to life so beautifully, especially the herringbone wood‑look tile with a brass border in the main living area. It’s the first thing people notice when they walk in, and it completely transformed the feel of the home and really elevates the space. The craftsmanship throughout the bathrooms is just as impressive. The mitered joints are flawless, the floating shower bench looks incredible, and the infinity niche in the spare bathroom was a design idea we’re so grateful they suggested. Every detail was done with precision, and you can tell Pedro and his team really take pride in their work. Communication throughout the entire process was amazing. We always felt heard, our input was respected, and we appreciated receiving picture updates along the way. He made a very stressful part of the build stress-free for us, and we really appreciate that. We are ecstatic with how everything turned out and would recommend Top Design Tile to anyone looking for high‑quality, thoughtful, and detail‑driven tile work!

    Pedro and his team were absolutely a pleasure to work with. We had our condo remodeled while out of state and they took care of everything A-Z from our bathroom to kitchen and even picking up orders for us. I recommend them 1000% to anyone looking to remodel their home

    Highly recommend this company for any home renovation work. They did an amazing job with my kitchen remodel, including the cabinets, tile, and flooring, everything came out clean, modern, and high quality. Pedro was great to work with from start to finish. He stayed on top of the project, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was done right. You can tell he takes pride in his work and doesn’t cut corners. If you’re looking for someone reliable for kitchens, bathrooms, tile, or flooring, this is the team to go with. I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects.

    Very attentive to detail and very reasonably priced. I was surprised with the results considering estimates were given to me from other vendors at twice the price. Would hire them again.

How it works

You always know which step you’re on.

From the first walk-through to the last one.

  1. Consult

    We walk the room with you, measure, and hear what isn’t working in it today.

  2. Design & selections

    Layout, tile, fixtures and finishes chosen together, with samples in your light and a price in writing before anything starts.

  3. Schedule

    A start date and the order of work, so you know which week the bathroom is out.

  4. Build

    Demo to grout. Each layer gets checked before the next one covers it.

  5. Walkthrough

    We walk it with you, grout line by grout line, before we call it done.

Straight answers

Tradition questions, answered.

Can you add grab-bar backing even if I don't want grab bars yet?

Yes. Blocking goes into the wall while it's open, so a bar can be mounted later without opening the tile.

Who issues permits in Tradition?

The City of Port St. Lucie Building Department. Tradition is a master-planned community inside the city, and applications go through the city's online portal.

Does the Tradition HOA need to approve my bathroom remodel?

Not if the work is all inside. Since July 2024, Florida law bars HOAs from limiting interior changes that can't be seen from the street, a neighbor, common area or golf course. Anything on the outside, like a window or vent change, still goes to architectural review.

My Tradition home is 20 years old. Is it worth replacing the builder bath?

The first neighborhoods went up in 2004 and 2005, so those baths are at the age where grout, caulk and original fixtures wear out. A remodel lets you fix the layout at the same time instead of patching it.

The glow is part of the tile plan.

Lit niches, floating vanities with light underneath, mirrors that glow from behind. It shows up in our favorite rooms because it gets drawn into the tile layout, not added after the wall is done.
