Most new homes in the island's flood zones are built with living space raised to current flood elevation, and many were finished with spec-level kitchens and bathrooms chosen before the buyer was involved. That is why owners of brand-new homes call remodelers sooner than you might expect. This page covers what owners of newer Marco Island homes change in their kitchens and bathrooms, and why it is easier to do in a new house than an old one. ![Marco Island New Construction bathroom remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Cutting-Edge-Marco-Island-Bathroom-2-After-c.webp)After · Marco Island bathroom remodel ## Marco Island Bathroom Remodel A spec bathroom is designed to suit anyone, which means it rarely suits the person who bought it. Common changes in newer island homes include replacing a standard tub in the primary bath with a larger walk-in shower, swapping stock vanities for custom units with more drawer storage, adding a second shower head or bench, and upgrading lighting and mirrors. Because the plumbing is new and the walls are straight, these projects move quickly. Secondary baths in spec homes usually get the most basic finishes in the house, so owners often bring them up to the level of the primary suite with better tile, glass and lighting. Elevated construction does shape the plan. In a raised home, bathroom drains run through a framed floor system rather than a slab, which often makes relocating a shower or toilet more practical than in an older ground-level house. Spaces below the flood elevation are limited to parking, storage and access, so finished bathrooms belong on the raised living level. The free LiDAR scan captures framing and fixture positions, so the design works with the structure from day one. Exhaust fans in newer homes are sometimes undersized for a large shower, and upgrading them during the remodel is a simple fix. Bathroom remodels at Marco Island start from $23,000 per bath.

Owners who want more often replace the island top with a quartzite slab, add a full-height backsplash, convert a pantry closet into a walk-in or butler's pantry, upgrade to a pro-style range and paneled refrigerator, and add glass uppers or open shelving for display. Under-cabinet lighting, a built-in coffee station and a beverage drawer near the lanai are also common requests. Some owners replace the hood with a custom plaster or wood hood that becomes the focal point of the room. Timing helps. If your home is still under construction, some changes are cheaper to make before cabinets are installed than after. If it is finished, existing cabinets can sometimes be kept and refaced while new tops and appliances go in. Either way, a photo-real 3D render shows the result before work begins, so the kitchen you approve is the one that gets built. Builder warranties may cover certain systems for a period after closing, so we review what is covered before we touch plumbing or electrical. That way the remodel adds to the house without creating questions about the original work. Kitchen remodels at Marco Island start from $35,000. ![Marco Island New Construction kitchen remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Marco-Island-Kitchen-After-c.webp)After · Marco Island kitchen remodel Price Your Marco Island *Kitchen.* Use the Marco Island kitchen builder to replace builder selections with your own and get a starting number.
