Bay Colony, set on the beach at Pelican Bay, holds single-family homes and villas dating to 1990 and high-rise condominiums built between 1991 and 2000, many with parking beneath the building. Owners have spent the years since sorting out insurance, repairs and the question of whether to restore or remodel. Some houses were already being torn down and rebuilt before the storm. This page looks at kitchen and bathroom work in Bay Colony after Ian, for houses, villas and tower residences alike. ![Post-Ian Rebuilds in Bay Colony bathroom remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pelican-Bay-Bathroom-2-After-c.webp)After · Bay Colony bathroom remodel ## Bay Colony Bathroom Remodel In a house or villa that took water, the bathroom repairs done in the first months after Ian were often fast and incomplete. Drywall came out, fans dried the room, and fixtures were reset. What may remain is moisture in a wood subfloor, a compromised shower pan or mold behind a vanity. When we scan a Bay Colony bathroom, we check those areas and plan a full rebuild with a bonded waterproofing membrane, cement board, porcelain or stone finishes and cabinets that will not swell if water returns. Moisture readings and photos from that visit can also support an insurance claim that is still open. For homes below the current required flood elevation, Collier County applies the National Flood Insurance Program's substantial improvement rule. When the cost of improvements reaches 50 percent of the structure's market value, the entire house must meet current flood standards, which can mean raising it. Bathroom and kitchen work counts toward that figure. Tower residences on upper floors face different questions, such as building-wide repairs and association assessments, so we coordinate timing with the association before interior work starts. Bathroom remodels at Bay Colony start from $47,000 per bath. Price Your Bay Colony *Bathroom.* Use the Bay Colony bathroom builder to plan a rebuilt, water-ready bathroom and see your starting point.

Owners who replaced only what the adjuster covered can end up with new lower cabinets that do not quite match the originals above. A full remodel fixes the mismatch and offers a chance to correct a 1990s layout, open the room to the family area and add a working pantry where a closet used to be. Many owners also take the chance to replace older appliances with quieter, more efficient models and add a proper vented hood. Resilient choices help the next time a storm comes ashore. Porcelain or stone floors instead of wood, cabinet boxes built from moisture-resistant material, outlets set higher on island ends and wall ovens in place of floor-level ranges all reduce exposure. For homes that were rebuilt or raised, we design the kitchen from the new plans. In every case, we start with a free LiDAR scan and a photo-real 3D render, so you see the result before any work starts and before money is committed. Kitchen remodels at Bay Colony start from $120,000. ![Post-Ian Rebuilds in Bay Colony kitchen remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pelican-Bay-Kitchen-Remodel-Before-Cutting-Edge-Kitchen-Remodel-2-c.webp)After · Bay Colony kitchen remodel Price Your Bay Colony *Kitchen.* Plan a resilient replacement kitchen in the Bay Colony kitchen builder and compare finish options.
