A bathroom remodel in Atlantis with Onel Construction LLC is Starting at $9,999 — and in Atlantis, the age of the house sets the job before the tile does. This is an 834-acre gated city built around two golf courses, and most of its homes went up in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. A hall bath in an original 1970s ranch off Country Club Drive and a primary bath in a larger golf-course home near Lost City are different rooms with different plumbing underneath them. This page prices Atlantis by scope — refresh, full remodel, and primary-suite rebuild — so you can place your project first.
I’m Joe. Onel Construction is my company, and I operate it from Boca Raton. I work Atlantis inside the gates: the single-family streets around Atlantis Country Club and Lost City Golf Club, the villas and the lake-side condos, all of it between Congress Avenue and Military Trail, Lantana Road to the south and the L-14 Canal to the north. The city was incorporated in 1959 on the old Mulberry Farms ranch land, and the housing followed the golf courses — mostly one-story CBS homes on generous lots, many of them on a fairway or a lake. Bathrooms from that era are now 40 to 60 years into service. At the free measure I check what is behind the walls and under the slab, tell you what earns replacement and what can stay, and put the whole job in writing, line by line.
Key takeaways
- Onel Atlantis bathrooms are Starting at $9,999; the signed number covers demo and haul-away, plumbing fixtures and reconnect, tile and waterproofing, vanity, and finishes — itemized line by line.
- Atlantis stock is centered on the 1970s: the median home was built in 1978, with about 41% of homes from the 1970s, another 20% from the 1980s, and about 13% from the 1960s — so original drains, valves, and shower pans are at end-of-life age in most of the city.
- $1,000 off on projects of $10,000 or more.
- Financing through Acorn Finance with rates as low as 4.49% APR with approved credit; payments from $120/month on smaller jobs, typical projects in the low $200s–$300s/month.
- Permits are filed through the City of Atlantis Building Department at 260 Orange Tree Drive, in Onel’s name, on every job that requires one. Palm Beach County is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but any replacement window or door in the scope still needs Florida Product Approval.
Atlantis bathroom pricing, scope by scope
Atlantis bathrooms price most honestly by scope — how much of the room comes out and how much plumbing moves — because the homes are similar in age but very different in size, from compact villa baths to large primary suites on the golf course.
| Scope | What it usually covers in an Atlantis home | How it prices |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh — layout and fixture positions unchanged | Replacement vanity and toilet, updated fixtures and trim, new tile across the tub or shower surround and the floor, renewed waterproofing wherever the surround is opened, plus paint and hardware. Drain and supply locations stay put. A fitting choice for a structurally sound hall bath or villa bath that needs a fresh look and reliable function. | Starting at $9,999 |
| Full remodel — same footprint, all-new room | Stripped back to studs and slab, with a new tub or walk-in shower, a complete tile and waterproofing system, a rebuilt vanity wall, and new valves and trim. Because fixtures remain where they are, the slab stays uncut. For most Atlantis houses from the 1960s through the 1980s, this is the typical scope. | Costed once you pick materials at the measure; as market context in South Florida, hall and secondary baths done to this scope often fall between $16,000–$30,000 |
| Primary-suite rebuild — the plan itself changes | Converting a tub into a shower or enlarging the walk-in, adding a double vanity, relocating drain or supply lines (with slab work shown as a separate line), frameless glass, and tile and fixtures at the level a golf-course primary suite deserves. | Costed once you pick materials at the measure; as market context in South Florida, primary baths done to this scope often fall between $28,000–$52,000 |
Think of those figures as a starting map: one is Onel’s approved entry price, the rest are market ranges for context, and your complimentary estimate will swap them for a single line-by-line total built for the bathroom you actually have. Send us a picture of the room along with BATHROOM at (561) 462-9293, and that photo set becomes the basis for the first draft of your price.
What actually moves the money on an Atlantis bathroom
Original 1960s–1980s plumbing under slab homes. Atlantis was developed as a country club community starting in 1958–59, and the build-out ran for decades: roughly three out of every four homes in the city were built between 1960 and 1989, with the median year at 1978. Those homes sit on slabs with their drain and supply runs underneath and inside block walls, and that plumbing has now been in service for 40 to 60-plus years. Keeping the tub, toilet, and vanity in their existing spots keeps the number disciplined. Moving a drain means cutting, trenching, and re-pouring concrete — real work, priced as its own named line up front, before demo, not discovered after it. At the measure I check valve and drain condition first, because that finding decides whether a refresh holds or a full remodel is the honest scope.
Golf-course and lakefront primary suites. A large share of Atlantis homes back onto a fairway at Atlantis Country Club or Lost City Golf Club, or onto one of the city’s lakes, and the primary baths in those homes were built bigger than the standard hall bath — garden tub plus a separate small shower is the layout I see most. Most owners want the same trade: give up the tub that never gets used, build one large walk-in shower that uses the space properly, and modernize the vanity wall. That conversion prices on tile and glass area, shower valve and drain work, and whether the footprint changes. We measure the actual room and price the conversion you want, not a package built for a different house.
Villas and lake-side condos — smaller rooms, shared systems. Not all of Atlantis is single-family: the city also carries villas, townhomes, and a condominium development near the lake, in smaller floor plans with one or two compact baths. In those buildings your drains and supplies tie into systems shared with neighboring units, and association or building rules can set approval steps and work hours that run next to the city permit. None of that blocks a remodel — it sequences it. We price the in-unit work, name any valve or stack work the building’s plumbing requires, and build the approval timeline into the plan before work starts.
Waterproofing and tile. Still the core of any bathroom, in any town — a bathroom fails at the waterproofing long before it fails at the tile. The shower pan, the backer, the membrane, and the tile and grout system over them are priced as a complete stack, and I price your exact room in Good / Better / Best material grades over the same scope so you can move money between tile, vanity, and fixtures with the full picture in front of you. If the math says a right-sized hall bath serves your home and a top-tier build would be money you never recoup, I will tell you that at the table and show you the smarter path — then the call is yours, and I build what you choose.
Gated-city logistics and work hours. Atlantis is a fully gated city with three manned entrances and its own police department, and city ordinance sets construction hours at 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with no work on Sunday. Crew and delivery access runs through the gates, and the daily window is fixed. That does not change your tile price — it shapes the schedule we promise. We sequence demo, deliveries, and inspections inside those hours from day one, so the timeline in your estimate is one the city actually allows us to keep.
Permits & code in Atlantis
Bathroom work in Atlantis is permitted through the City of Atlantis Building Department, 260 Orange Tree Drive, Atlantis, FL 33462 — phone (561) 965-1744 ext. 112. Atlantis runs its own building department; this is not a Palm Beach County permit. A remodel that moves plumbing, touches electrical, or changes the shower or tub footprint is permitted work, and the city requires plans and product approvals with the application. The city also has an Architectural Review Committee that reviews every exterior-work permit application — a straight interior bathroom remodel does not change the exterior, but if your scope touches a window, a door, or anything visible from outside, that review is part of the path and we build it into the timeline. Atlantis sits in Palm Beach County, which is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — but Florida Product Approval is still required on replacement windows and doors, so any opening in your bathroom scope gets a product with a current approval, named in the estimate from the first draft. Onel Construction LLC pulls the permit on every job, in Onel’s name, schedules the city’s inspections in sequence, and the job is not finished until the final inspection passes.
The path an Atlantis remodel follows, first visit to sign-off
- Kick it off with two photos — Text the word BATHROOM to (561) 462-9293 — send two wide photos of your space from different angles and tell us what you want done. We’ll start your estimate right from the photos, and the free in-home measure locks your exact written price.
- Free in-home measure — I come out through the gate, measure, check your drains, valves, and tile bed, and we talk scope: what stays in place, what moves, and what the city will want.
- Written itemized estimate — each phase listed in the sequence we will build it, the identical scope priced in three grades of materials, and your total held firm in writing for a full 14 days.
- Permit pulled — filed through the City of Atlantis Building Department, in Onel’s name, before work starts.
- Build — demo and haul-away, rough plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, vanity and fixtures set, glass, and finishes — all inside the city’s 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. work window.
- Final inspection & walkthrough — city final passed, then we walk the bathroom against the estimate, line by line, and you sign off.
Warranty
For everything fitted in that room — from the tile and waterproofing system to the fixtures, vanity, glass enclosure and hardware — the full manufacturer’s warranty applies, and Onel registers it for you, under your name, so nothing is left pending when we finish. Should any item fail while its manufacturer coverage is still active, you will not be hunting for paperwork — the claim can begin with that registration already recorded. To begin pricing the bathroom you have in mind, send a picture of it to (561) 462-9293.
Money help
Through Acorn Finance: payments from $120/month on smaller jobs, typical projects in the low $200s–$300s/month, rates as low as 4.49% APR with approved credit — shown in writing, next to the estimate, so the monthly number and the total number sit on the same page. And every Atlantis bathroom of $10,000 or more carries $1,000 off on projects of $10,000 or more.

Before Atlantis homeowners book me, they ask
My Atlantis home was built in the 1970s. What should I expect behind the walls?
Expect us to look hard at the drains, valves, and supply lines before we talk tile. The median Atlantis home was built in 1978, and about 41% of the city went up in the 1970s alone — that plumbing has been working for close to five decades, on a slab, under tile that was set with the waterproofing standards of that era. Keeping every fixture in its existing spot is the cleanest path in these baths; moving a toilet or a shower drain means slab work, priced as its own line when the layout needs it. Either way, you see the real condition and the real cost before demo. Get the conversation going by sending BATHROOM plus a photo of that bath to (561) 462-9293.
Does my bathroom remodel need Architectural Review Committee approval in Atlantis?
For a straight interior bathroom remodel, the committee is not the step that governs your job — the Architectural Review Committee reviews exterior-work permit applications. The moment your scope changes anything visible from outside — a replacement window in the shower, a new door, exterior changes of any kind — that review joins the City of Atlantis Building Department permit path, and we sequence it into the timeline up front so it never becomes a mid-job surprise. Send BATHROOM and a room photo to (561) 462-9293, and we will lay out the approval steps for your particular project when we price it.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Atlantis?
If the job moves plumbing, touches electrical, or changes the tub or shower footprint — yes, and the City of Atlantis Building Department at 260 Orange Tree Drive issues it. Pure surface swaps sometimes fall on the other side of that line, and I will tell you plainly which side your project falls on at the measure. When a permit is required, Onel pulls it in Onel’s name and runs the inspections. Reach us at (561) 462-9293 with a bathroom photo plus BATHROOM, and alongside the estimate we will chart exactly which Atlantis permits your scope requires.
My primary bath has a big garden tub I never use and a small shower. Can you flip that?
In most Atlantis primary suites, yes — that tub-plus-small-shower layout is the standard plan in the larger golf-course homes, and the space the tub gives up is exactly what makes a large, comfortable walk-in shower possible. The work is the drain and valve location, the waterproofing stack, tile, and glass, and the estimate prices each one as a named line after we measure the room. If your home is one of the 1960s originals with a tighter primary bath, we measure first and design the biggest shower the real footprint honestly holds. Message (561) 462-9293 a photo and BATHROOM, and we will outline what flipping that layout would involve for your home.
How do the gates and city work hours affect my remodel schedule?
Atlantis runs three manned gates and city ordinance allows construction from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with no work on Sunday. We plan crew access, deliveries, and inspections inside that window from the first draft of your schedule, and your written estimate carries a timeline built on those real hours — not a generic one. At (561) 462-9293, send BATHROOM with a wide shot, and the estimate we prepare will include a schedule shaped around those gate and hour rules.
Can I finance an Atlantis bathroom?
Yes — through Acorn Finance, rates as low as 4.49% APR with approved credit, payments from $120/month on smaller jobs, typical projects in the low $200s–$300s/month. Before anything gets signed, the loan terms will sit in print right beside your estimate so you can study both together. For a side-by-side look at the project total and the monthly payment, message a photo with BATHROOM to (561) 462-9293.
How do I get an exact price for my bathroom?
For an exact figure, start by sending BATHROOM and two wide-angle pictures of the room to (561) 462-9293. Those images give us the starting point for the line-by-line quote; afterwards I visit, take precise measurements, and commit the final figure to paper.
How much does a walk-in shower cost?
In Atlantis, that question usually comes from a golf-course primary suite where a garden tub sits unused next to a cramped shower stall. There is no separate walk-in price tag to quote from a chart: the cost rides on how much tile and frameless glass the larger shower needs, where the drain and valve land, and whether the footprint changes at all. Folded into a primary-suite rebuild, it sits inside the scope priced at the measure — Onel bathrooms overall are Starting at $9,999, and primary baths of that scale are the ones that run toward the higher market range shown in the table above. Changing a shower footprint is permitted work here, filed with the City of Atlantis Building Department at 260 Orange Tree Drive, and we name that permit line in the estimate rather than burying it.
What are the signs of water damage or mold behind shower walls?
In a 1960s–1980s Atlantis bath, the early clues are usually small ones: grout that keeps cracking in the same corner, tile that sounds hollow or feels soft underfoot near the drain, a musty smell that returns a day after cleaning, paint bubbling on the wall that backs onto the shower, or a stain creeping across the ceiling of the room below. Original shower pans and the waterproofing standards of that era are now 40 to 60 years old, so a slow leak can run for months behind tile that still looks presentable from the front. At the free measure I probe those spots before we settle the scope, because catching a failed pan at the estimate stage is far cheaper than finding it after demo has already opened the room.
Can I use my bathroom during a remodel, and what if it is my only bathroom?
Plan on that particular room being out of service while it is open — demo, waterproofing, and tile work each take the shower and, for stretches, the toilet offline, and a room mid-build inside the gates is not one you want to be stepping around after the crew leaves for the day. Most Atlantis homes have a second bath that carries the household through, and we sequence the work inside the city’s 7:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday window to keep the offline stretch as short as the scope honestly allows. If yours is a villa or lake-side condo where the remodel takes your only full bath, tell me that at the measure: we will talk through phasing — getting a toilet reset at the earliest safe point, for example — and build that plan into the written timeline before work starts, not improvise it mid-job.
