Your kitchen finally works the way you need it to. Cabinets that close properly, countertops that can handle real use, lighting that makes sense for how you cook and eat.
Your bathroom stops being that project you keep putting off. The shower doesn’t leak, the tile looks clean and modern, and you’re not embarrassed when guests use it.
Your whole house renovation doesn’t drag on for months with excuses and delays. The crew shows up when they say they will, cleans up every day, and you can actually see progress. You’re not wondering if you made a mistake hiring someone. You know the work is getting done, and it’s getting done well.
That’s what happens when you work with someone who’s been doing this for over 40 years and actually cares about the outcome.
Ray Coleman Home Improvement has spent over four decades handling home renovations in Jericho and across Nassau County. We’re licensed, insured with a million-dollar policy, and ranked in the top 1% of nearly 78,000 contractors in New York according to BuildZoom.
Most of our clients have been with us for over ten years. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because we answer every call, respond to every text, and show up for emergencies like frozen pipes in the middle of a Long Island winter.
We know Jericho homes. Many were built in the ’40s through ’60s, and they need contractors who understand how to update old systems without creating new problems. We’ve worked in enough of these houses to know what works and what doesn’t.
You call or text, and we actually respond. Not three days later—same day. We schedule a time to see your home and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish.
We walk the space with you. We ask questions about how you use the rooms, what’s not working, and what you’ve been putting up with. Then we give you a realistic assessment of what the project involves, how long it takes, and what it costs. No runaround.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the planning and coordinate our crew. We focus on projects we’re good at—kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, first-floor renovations, dormers, extensions, and whole house renovations. We especially like jobs that don’t require permits because we can get started faster and finish sooner.
During the work, you’ll see the same professional crew. They keep the job site clean, they show up on time, and they know what they’re doing. You can reach us throughout the project. No ghosting, no excuses.
When it’s done, it’s done right. You’re not calling us back in six months because something failed.

We handle large-scale home improvement projects. Kitchen remodels where you’re redoing cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances. Bathroom renovations that involve new tile, fixtures, vanities, and lighting. First-floor renovations that open up your layout and modernize the space.
We build dormers and extensions when you need more room but don’t want to move. We take on whole house renovations for clients who want to update everything at once instead of dragging it out over years.
In Jericho, where the median home value is over $900,000, you’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for someone who protects your investment and does the work correctly. Our clients understand that quality costs more upfront but saves money long-term because you’re not redoing bad work.
We also handle emergency situations. Long Island winters are harsh, and when your pipes freeze or your heating system fails, you need someone who picks up the phone. We do that. We’ve built a network of skilled craftsmen across Nassau and Suffolk County so we can respond quickly no matter what the issue is.
A full kitchen remodel usually takes four to eight weeks depending on the scope. If you’re replacing cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances, expect closer to six weeks. If you’re also moving plumbing or electrical, add time.
The timeline depends on how quickly you make decisions and whether we hit any surprises once we open up walls. Older Jericho homes sometimes have outdated wiring or plumbing that needs updating to meet current code.
We keep you in the loop throughout. You’ll know if something changes the schedule before it becomes a problem. Most delays happen because clients change their mind on materials or finishes mid-project, so the more decisions you make upfront, the faster we move.
Yes, and we actually prefer them. Projects that don’t require permits move faster because you’re not waiting weeks for approvals and inspections.
In Nassau County, smaller renovations like cosmetic updates, cabinet replacements, and some bathroom remodels often don’t need permits. Larger structural work like extensions, dormers, or moving load-bearing walls usually does.
We’ll tell you upfront whether your project needs a permit. If it does, we handle the paperwork and inspections. If it doesn’t, we get started right away. Either way, the work is done to code and done correctly—we’re licensed and insured, so we’re not cutting corners just to avoid permits.
A full bathroom renovation in Jericho typically runs between $15,000 and $40,000 depending on size, materials, and what you’re replacing. A small guest bath with mid-range finishes might be closer to $15,000 to $20,000. A master bathroom with high-end tile, custom vanity, and new fixtures can easily hit $35,000 to $40,000 or more.
The cost depends on whether you’re just updating finishes or if you’re moving plumbing, expanding the footprint, or dealing with old pipes that need replacing. Older homes often have issues that don’t show up until we start demo.
We give you a detailed estimate upfront so you know what you’re paying for. No surprise charges unless you change the scope or we uncover something that has to be fixed for safety or code reasons. And if that happens, we talk to you before we do the work.
We’ve been doing this for over 40 years in the same area. Our reputation depends on finishing what we start. Most of our clients have used us for over a decade, and they keep calling us back because we do what we say we’re going to do.
We’re licensed with the Nassau County license board, insured with a million-dollar policy, and bonded. We’re ranked in the top 1% of contractors in New York. You can verify all of that.
But the real proof is simpler—we answer the phone. Every time. If you can’t reach your contractor, you can’t trust them. We respond to calls and texts the same day. If there’s an emergency, we handle it. That’s not something most contractors can say, and it’s why our clients stick with us.
Yes. Long Island winters are brutal, and when your pipes freeze or your heating system fails, you can’t wait until Monday morning. We provide emergency response for urgent issues.
Frozen pipes are common in older Jericho homes, especially during cold snaps. If they burst, you’re dealing with serious water damage. We’ve handled enough of these situations to respond quickly and minimize the damage.
We also work with a large network of skilled tradespeople across Nassau and Suffolk County, so we can get the right person to your home fast. Whether it’s plumbing, heating, or structural damage from a storm, we coordinate the response. You make one call, and we handle the rest.
We answer the phone. That sounds basic, but try calling other contractors and see how long it takes them to respond. We pick up, we text back, and we show up when we say we will.
We also keep job sites clean. Our crews sweep and clean up every day. You’re not living in a construction zone that looks like a disaster. We respect that this is your home and you’re still living in it during the renovation.
Our crew is professional—in how they work, how they communicate, and how they present themselves. You’re not dealing with people who make you uncomfortable in your own house. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that the quality of the experience matters just as much as the quality of the work.
