When the Shower Has to Come Out
Some showers need a rebuild because they are worn: cracked tile, a sagging floor, a pan that leaks into the next room. Others need it because water came in from outside. In Hurricane Helene, some houses on Arvis Circle in Largo took up to 4 to 5 feet of water, and city leaders said four or five Largo neighborhoods were significantly affected[1].
Either way, the job is the same: take the shower down to the framing, dry and repair what is damaged, and build it back with a new base, walls, valve and glass.
Do It Once, Do It Permitted
Largo is clear that unpermitted work may have to be removed or redone[2]. That matters most for flood-damaged homes, where the city may review the whole repair against 50% of the structure's value, and where do-it-yourself work and donated materials still count toward that total[2].
We pull the permit through City of Largo Building Services[3] and keep an itemized record of the shower costs. If your property received a substantial damage notification in 2025, bring it along so the scope matches the city's determination.

My shower was damaged in Helene. Where do I start?
Check whether the city sent a substantial damage notification; Largo has a lookup map[2]. Then book an estimate and bring any paperwork.
Can I fix the shower myself without a permit?
Largo warns that unpermitted work may need to be removed or redone[2], so it is rarely worth the risk.
How long does a shower rebuild take?
Usually one to two weeks, depending on drying time and materials.
Will you replace the drywall around the shower too?
If it is wet or damaged, yes. We include it in the written scope.
What if there is mold behind the old tile?
We remove the affected materials during tear-out and let the cavity dry before rebuilding. You see what we found, and any extra work is priced before we continue.
