Designing for the Years Ahead

Much of our bathroom remodeling in Wilton Manors is about one idea: making the room work just as well at 80 as it does today. The city's median age was 53.9 in the 2020 census, Census estimates put 22.9% of residents at 65 or older, and 13.8% of households are someone 65 or older living alone. When you live on your own, a slippery tub edge is not a minor annoyance. It is the kind of thing that decides whether you can stay in your house.

What aging-in-place really means in a bathroom

It does not have to look clinical. A well-planned accessible bathroom looks like a nice modern bathroom that happens to be easier to use. Things we commonly build in:

A curbless or low-threshold walk-in shower with a linear drain
Wood blocking inside the walls so grab bars can go anywhere, now or later
A handheld shower on a slide bar, reachable from a seat
A fold-down or built-in bench
Comfort-height toilets and lever handles instead of knobs
Slip-resistant floor tile with enough grout lines for grip
Brighter, layered lighting, including a night light near the door

Single-owner homes

Nearly half of Wilton Manors households (46.4% in 2020) are a single person. That changes priorities. Many owners do not need a double vanity or a second tub; they want one bathroom that is generous, easy to clean and safe. We often fold a seldom-used tub space into a larger shower, widen the doorway when the framing allows, and add a vanity with drawers that are easier to reach than deep cabinets.

Island City conditions

Wilton Manors is nicknamed the Island City because it is surrounded by water, with the North Fork of the Middle River on one side and the South Fork on the other. At an elevation of around 7 feet, damp air is a constant. Every shower we build gets a full waterproofing system and a fan that vents outdoors, which matters even more in a house where one person may be using the same shower every day for decades.

Condos along Wilton Drive

Wilton Drive has seen condo and rental development over the past decade, and the Highland Estates area added new townhouses between 1995 and 2005. If you own in an association, plan for board review. Florida's condo statute says owners may not do work that would harm the safety or soundness of common elements, so expect your association to ask about plumbing and waterproofing. We provide a written scope for that review.

The other five services

Not every Wilton Manors project is about accessibility. We also do full bathroom remodels, tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in showers with frameless glass, bathroom vanity replacement and bathroom tile and flooring. With a median owner-occupied value around $589,200, owners here tend to want finishes that match the rest of a well-kept home.

Wilton Manors Questions

Can I make my Wilton Manors bathroom accessible without it looking like a hospital?

Yes. Curbless showers, linear drains, modern grab bars and comfort-height toilets come in finishes that look like any upscale bathroom. We plan the safety features first and then choose tile, fixtures and lighting so the room looks finished, not medical.

Should I add grab bar blocking even if I don't need grab bars yet?

We recommend it. Installing wood blocking while the walls are open costs little, and it means grab bars can be added later in exactly the right spot without opening tile. For a long-term owner, it is one of the cheapest ways to future-proof a bathroom.

I live alone. Can you work around me during the remodel?

Yes. If this is your only bathroom, tell us early. We can sequence the work to shorten the time the room is out of service and talk through options for the days when water has to be off.

Does my Wilton Drive condo need association approval?

Almost certainly for anything involving plumbing or walls. Check your declaration and remodel rules, and we will give your board a written description of the work, including how the shower will be waterproofed.
