Updating the Original Baths in Canal-Front Homes

Most bathroom remodeling in Lighthouse Point starts with a house that has good bones and an original or once-updated bathroom. The city was built largely on canals dug in the 1950s and 1960s, and its population climbed from 2,453 in 1960 to 9,071 in 1970. Those single-family waterfront homes are now 50-plus years old, and the bathrooms are often the rooms that show it most.

Who lives here, and what they ask for

Lighthouse Point is an owner's town. Census QuickFacts puts owner-occupancy at 77.3% and the median owner-occupied value at $688,400, and households are small, at about 1.97 people each. Nearly three in ten residents (29.3%) are 65 or older. Put that together and the typical request is clear: a couple who has paid off or upgraded the house wants one great primary bathroom they can use comfortably for the next twenty years, plus a guest bath that does not embarrass them when family visits.

What a Lighthouse Point primary bath remodel tends to include

Removing a tub nobody uses and building a large walk-in shower in its place
A low or zero-threshold entry so the shower works now and later
A double vanity, or a single long vanity with more storage
Large-format porcelain tile on floors and walls, with fewer grout lines to clean
Hidden blocking in the walls for future grab bars
Better lighting at the mirror and a quiet, outside-vented exhaust fan

The guest bath and the hall bath

Not every room needs a full gut. In many homes here, a guest bath only needs a vanity replacement, new floor tile and a refreshed tub-shower combo. We will tell you when a partial update makes more sense than a full remodel. Our estimate lists each area separately so you can decide what to do now and what can wait.

Water outside, water inside

Canal living brings boats and fishing; the Hillsboro Inlet gives Lighthouse Point boaters a route toward Bimini, about 40 miles away. It also means a lot of ambient moisture. Inside a bathroom, that pushes us toward full waterproofing membranes behind tile, sealed penetrations around valves, and ventilation that actually exhausts outdoors. Wood-look porcelain gives the warmth of a wood floor without the swelling.

Permits and paperwork

Requirements depend on the scope. Swapping a vanity in place is not the same as relocating a shower drain or adding a circuit. We confirm with the city's building officials what your project requires before scheduling, and we include that step in the timeline we give you.

Lighthouse Point at a Glance

Built on 1950s and 60s canals. Most of the city was built on canals dug during the 1950s and 1960s, creating a large stock of waterfront single-family homes that are now more than half a century old.
Strong ownership, high values. About 77.3% of homes are owner-occupied and the median owner-occupied value is $688,400 (Census ACS 2020 to 2024), well above the Pompano Beach median.
Small, older households. Households average about 1.97 people, 29.3% of residents are 65 or older, and the 2020 census put the median age at 53.5 years.
Incorporation dates. Lighthouse Point was incorporated as a town on June 13, 1956, and as a city on June 11, 1957. It takes its name from the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse in neighboring Hillsboro Beach.

Lighthouse Point Questions

We are both in our 60s. Should we build an accessible shower now or wait?

Building it in now is usually easier and cheaper than retrofitting later. A low or curbless entry, a bench, a handheld shower and wall blocking for grab bars can look like a modern spa shower rather than a medical one. With nearly a third of Lighthouse Point residents 65 or older, it is a very common request here.

Can you widen a narrow 1960s bathroom?

Sometimes. If a closet or hallway sits next to the bathroom, we can look at borrowing space. Whether a wall can move depends on what is inside it and above it. We check that during the estimate visit and explain the options and what each involves.

Is it worth putting high-end finishes in a guest bath?

In a home that will be kept long term, mid-range finishes in the guest bath and better finishes in the primary bath is a common split. We can price both ways so you can compare.

How long does a primary bath remodel take?

It depends on layout changes, material lead times and any inspections the work requires. Your written estimate includes a timeline for your specific project, and we update you if anything changes.
