Your bathroom stops being the room you avoid showing guests. The tile work looks clean and level. The shower doesn’t leak. Doors close properly, fixtures work the way they should, and the space feels bigger even if we didn’t move a single wall.
You’re not dealing with callbacks or touch-ups six months later. The grout stays intact. The vanity doesn’t wobble. Everything we install is meant to last through Long Island winters, humid summers, and daily use from everyone in the house.
Most importantly, you’re done thinking about it. The project’s finished, the mess is gone, and you’ve got a bathroom that works for how you actually live. No lingering punch list items. No waiting on someone to come back and fix what should’ve been done right the first time.
We’ve been handling bathroom remodels and full-scale renovations across Locust Valley and the North Shore for over 40 years. We’re a general contractor, which means we manage the entire job—plumbing, electrical, tile, framing, permits when needed—without handing pieces off to someone else.
We know what older homes in this area need. Most houses here were built in the 1940s, and bathrooms from that era weren’t designed for modern fixtures, water pressure, or the way families use space today. We’ve worked in enough crawl spaces and dealt with enough frozen pipe emergencies to understand what holds up and what doesn’t.
You’ll talk to the same people from estimate to final walkthrough. We answer calls, respond to texts, and if something goes wrong in the middle of winter, we’re the ones who show up to fix it.
It starts with a walkthrough at your house. We look at the existing layout, talk through what’s not working, and figure out if you need a total gut or if we can work with what’s there. You’ll know upfront what’s possible within your space and budget.
Once we agree on scope, we pull permits if the job requires them and line up our crews—plumbers, electricians, tile setters. Demo happens fast. We protect the rest of your house, remove old fixtures and finishes, and get down to the studs if that’s what the plan calls for. Then rough plumbing and electrical go in before anything gets closed up.
After inspections clear, we move into finish work. New subfloor if needed, tile installation, vanity and fixture setup, paint, trim. We keep the site clean daily because we’re often working while you’re still living in the house. Final walkthrough happens when everything’s functional and you’re satisfied with how it turned out.

A full bathroom renovation covers everything from subfloor to ceiling. That includes demolition and debris removal, new plumbing and electrical rough-ins, updated fixtures that meet current code, tile work for floors and shower surrounds, vanity installation, lighting, ventilation, and all finish carpentry.
In Locust Valley, we’re often working with homes that have outdated plumbing or layouts that don’t make sense anymore. A lot of these bathrooms need accessibility updates—grab bars, curbless showers, wider doorways—especially as homeowners age in place. We handle those modifications as part of the scope, not as add-ons.
We also address the problems common to older Long Island homes: mold remediation, proper ventilation to prevent future moisture issues, and winterization to avoid frozen pipes in exterior walls or unheated spaces. If your bathroom shares a wall with an uninsulated area, we’ll make sure pipes are protected before we close anything up. The goal is a bathroom that works now and doesn’t create problems later.
Most full bathroom remodels take three to five weeks from demo to final walkthrough, depending on the scope. If we’re doing a complete gut with new plumbing, electrical, tile, and fixtures, expect closer to five weeks. Smaller updates—new vanity, tile, paint—can be done in two to three weeks.
Delays usually come from permit approvals or material lead times, not the work itself. We schedule inspections as soon as rough-ins are complete so we’re not waiting around. If you’re ordering custom vanities or specialty tile, get those locked in early because supply chains for certain finishes can add weeks.
Weather can slow things down in winter, especially if we’re dealing with frozen ground for any exterior work tied to plumbing vents or drainage. But the interior work stays on schedule as long as materials are on site and inspections don’t get pushed.
A full bathroom remodel in Locust Valley typically runs between $15,000 and $40,000, depending on size, finishes, and how much structural work is involved. If you’re keeping the existing layout and updating fixtures, tile, and vanity, you’ll land on the lower end. Moving plumbing, expanding the footprint, or adding high-end materials pushes costs higher.
Tile selection makes a big difference. Standard ceramic is affordable and durable. Natural stone or large-format porcelain costs more in material and labor because installation is more detailed. Same with fixtures—a basic vanity and faucet setup costs a fraction of what custom cabinetry and premium hardware runs.
We give you a fixed estimate before work starts, and we don’t change it unless you change the scope. No surprise charges for things we should’ve caught during the walkthrough. If something unexpected comes up during demo—rotted subfloor, old cast iron that needs replacing—we talk through options and costs before moving forward.
Yes. We install grab bars, curbless showers, wider doorways, comfort-height toilets, and non-slip flooring as part of standard bathroom renovations. A lot of homeowners in this area are modifying bathrooms so they can stay in their homes long-term, and we’ve done enough of these projects to know what actually helps versus what just looks like an accessibility feature.
Curbless showers require proper floor pitch and waterproofing, especially in older homes where subfloors weren’t built for that kind of drainage. We make sure the slope is correct so water doesn’t pool or leak into adjacent rooms. Grab bars get anchored into blocking behind the tile, not just drywall, so they can handle real weight.
If the bathroom is too small for a wheelchair or walker to maneuver, we can look at stealing space from an adjacent closet or hallway. Sometimes a full remodel is the right time to reconfigure the layout entirely. We’ll walk through what’s structurally possible and what makes sense for how you’re planning to use the space.
Yes, we pull permits when the work requires it. Any project involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes typically needs a permit in Nassau County. We handle the application, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything passes before we close up walls or move to finish work.
Some bathroom updates don’t require permits—replacing a vanity, updating tile, swapping fixtures on existing lines. But if we’re moving drains, adding new circuits, or touching anything structural, permits are part of the process. Skipping them creates problems down the line, especially if you ever sell the house.
Inspections add time to the schedule, but they’re not optional. We build that into the timeline upfront so you’re not surprised when work pauses for a day or two. Once rough-ins pass inspection, we move straight into finish work without delays.
We fix it. If a pipe leaks, a fixture doesn’t fit, or something gets damaged during demo, we handle it without charging extra as long as it’s related to our work. That’s part of managing the job correctly.
Unexpected issues do come up, especially in older homes. We’ve opened walls and found plumbing that should’ve been replaced decades ago, or electrical that’s not up to code. When that happens, we stop, show you what we found, explain what needs to happen, and give you a price before moving forward. No work gets done without your approval.
We’re also available if emergencies happen outside of normal work hours. Frozen pipes, leaks, anything that can’t wait until Monday—we answer the phone and respond. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that bathroom remodels sometimes create situations that need immediate attention, and we don’t disappear when that happens.
Yes. Most of our clients stay in their homes during bathroom remodels, so we’re used to working around daily routines. We keep work contained to the bathroom being renovated, seal off the area to minimize dust, and clean up at the end of each day so the rest of your house stays livable.
If you only have one bathroom, we’ll talk through timing before we start. Some homeowners arrange to stay elsewhere for a few days during the heaviest demo and plumbing work. Others are fine using a temporary setup as long as they know what to expect. We make sure you have a working toilet and sink whenever possible, even if it means roughing in temporary fixtures mid-project.
Our crews show up on time, work a full day, and communicate if anything changes. We’re not bouncing between five jobs and showing up for two hours at a time. When we’re on your project, that’s where our focus is until it’s done.
