You’re not just swapping tile. You’re fixing the layout that makes your morning routine a nightmare. You’re addressing the ventilation issue that’s been growing mold behind the walls. You’re upgrading plumbing that’s been leaking slowly for years.
A proper bathroom renovation handles what you can see and what you can’t. That means reworking electrical that wasn’t up to code. Replacing subfloors damaged by moisture. Installing ventilation that actually works so you’re not dealing with mildew every few months.
When it’s done right, you get a bathroom that functions the way you need it to. More storage. Better lighting. A shower that doesn’t leak. Space that makes sense for how you actually use it. That’s what matters when you’re spending money on a remodel.
We’ve been handling bathroom remodels across Garden City and Nassau County since the early 1980s. We’re licensed, insured, and ranked in the top 1% of New York contractors by BuildZoom.
We focus on large-scale bathroom renovations where the scope goes beyond cosmetic updates. First-floor remodels, master bath overhauls, full gut jobs that require new plumbing and electrical. Our crews clean up the job site daily because your home isn’t a construction zone you should have to live around.
Garden City homes come with their own challenges. Older plumbing systems. Galvanized pipes affected by Long Island’s hard water. Layouts from decades ago that don’t match how people use bathrooms today. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to handle it without the surprises that blow up your budget.
First, we walk through your bathroom with you. Not to sell you on upgrades you don’t need, but to understand what’s not working. We look at the layout, check the plumbing, identify any structural issues, and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish.
Then we give you a detailed estimate. No vague line items. You’ll know what you’re paying for before we start. If we find something unexpected once walls are open—old plumbing that needs replacing, water damage, electrical that’s not up to code—we call you immediately. You decide how to proceed.
During the job, our crew shows up on time. We protect your floors and furniture. We work efficiently because we’ve done this hundreds of times. At the end of each day, we sweep and clean so you’re not walking through construction dust.
When we’re finished, you get a bathroom that works. Everything’s installed correctly. Plumbing doesn’t leak. Tile is level. Ventilation actually vents. We don’t leave until it’s done right, and we’re available if anything needs attention after the fact.

A complete bathroom renovation covers everything from demolition to final fixtures. We handle the plumbing rough-in, electrical work, framing, insulation, and all finish work. That includes new vanities, shower or tub installation, tile work, flooring, lighting, and ventilation.
In Garden City, we’re often dealing with homes built in the 1950s through 1980s. That means outdated plumbing that needs upgrading. Poor ventilation that’s caused moisture problems. Layouts designed when bathrooms were smaller and simpler. We address all of it as part of the remodel.
You’ll also get proper waterproofing in wet areas, which matters more than most homeowners realize. We install cement board behind tile in showers. We use the right membranes under flooring. We make sure water goes where it’s supposed to go—down the drain, not into your subfloor or walls.
For larger projects, we can reconfigure the entire layout. Move walls to create more space. Relocate plumbing to improve flow. Add windows for natural light. Convert a tub to a walk-in shower or vice versa. The goal is a bathroom that fits how you actually live, not how someone in 1975 thought you should live.
Most full bathroom remodels in Nassau County run between $15,000 and $35,000, depending on size and scope. A small half-bath refresh might come in under $15,000. A master bathroom with high-end finishes, custom tile work, and significant plumbing changes can push past $40,000.
The biggest cost drivers are plumbing and electrical work, especially if you’re moving fixtures or upgrading old systems. Tile work is labor-intensive and adds up quickly. Custom vanities cost more than stock options. Structural changes—moving walls, adding windows—increase the price.
Here’s what affects your final number: the condition of what’s behind your walls, the quality of materials you choose, and how much of the layout you’re changing. We give you a detailed estimate upfront so you know where your money is going. If we find issues during demolition, we discuss them before proceeding so there are no surprise bills at the end.
A full bathroom remodel usually takes three to five weeks from start to finish. Smaller projects—just updating fixtures and finishes without moving plumbing—can be done in two weeks. Larger renovations that involve layout changes, structural work, or significant plumbing and electrical upgrades can stretch to six or seven weeks.
The timeline depends on what we’re doing. Demolition takes a day or two. Rough plumbing and electrical take several days. Framing, insulation, and drywall add another week. Tile work is time-consuming because it requires proper drying time between steps. Then come fixtures, painting, and final details.
Delays happen when we open walls and find problems that need fixing—rotted subfloors, outdated wiring, plumbing that’s not up to code. We also have to work around inspection schedules and material delivery times. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the start and keep you updated if anything changes. You’ll have access to your bathroom facilities during most of the project, though there will be days when water is shut off.
It depends on the scope of work. If you’re just replacing fixtures, updating tile, or swapping a vanity, you typically don’t need permits. But if you’re moving plumbing, doing electrical work, or making structural changes, permits are required in Garden City.
The Town of Hempstead, which includes Garden City, requires permits for any work that involves altering plumbing lines, electrical systems, or structural elements. That includes moving a toilet, adding new electrical circuits, or removing walls. The permit process involves submitting plans and scheduling inspections at various stages of the project.
We handle the permit process for you. We know what the local building department requires, we submit the paperwork, and we schedule inspections. This protects you legally and ensures the work is done to code. Unpermitted work can cause problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. It’s not worth the risk to skip this step, and it’s built into how we operate on every job that requires it.
Frozen pipes are a real concern during Long Island winters, especially in older Garden City homes. If you’re remodeling in cold months, we take precautions to protect exposed plumbing. That means keeping heat on in the work area, insulating any new pipes properly, and making sure nothing’s left vulnerable overnight.
If a pipe does freeze or burst during your project, we respond immediately. We’ve handled frozen pipe emergencies for over 40 years. We know where pipes are most vulnerable in older homes—crawl spaces, exterior walls, unheated areas. We also know how to thaw them safely without causing damage.
The bigger issue is making sure your new bathroom is protected long-term. We insulate pipes in exterior walls. We make sure heating vents reach the bathroom properly. We identify any areas where cold air might infiltrate and cause problems down the road. Prevention is a lot cheaper than dealing with a burst pipe that floods your new bathroom at 2 a.m. in January.
Yes, and we should. Poor ventilation is one of the most common problems in older bathrooms, and it causes real damage over time. Moisture builds up, mold grows behind walls, paint peels, and wood rots. If your bathroom doesn’t have proper ventilation now, fixing it should be part of your remodel.
We install exhaust fans that are properly sized for your bathroom and vented to the outside—not into your attic, which just moves the moisture problem somewhere else. We make sure the fan has enough power to actually move air. We position it correctly so it pulls moisture out of the shower area. And we use quiet models so you’ll actually use it.
We also address moisture issues at the source. That means proper waterproofing in the shower. Cement board instead of regular drywall in wet areas. Sealed grout and caulk. Adequate slope in the shower floor so water drains completely. These aren’t expensive upgrades, but they make a massive difference in how long your bathroom lasts and whether you’re dealing with mold and mildew constantly.
We stop and call you. This happens on most bathroom remodels in older homes because you can’t see what’s behind the walls until they’re open. Common issues include water-damaged subfloors, outdated wiring that’s not up to code, plumbing that’s corroded or leaking, and mold from years of moisture problems.
When we find something, we explain what it is, why it needs to be fixed, and what it will cost. You decide whether to proceed. Most of the time, these issues need to be addressed—you can’t install a new bathroom over a rotted subfloor or leave dangerous wiring in place. But you’re in control of the decision and the budget.
We don’t pad estimates or surprise you with inflated change orders. If it’s a legitimate issue that needs fixing, we price it fairly and document everything. If it’s something that can wait or isn’t critical, we tell you that too. The goal is to give you a bathroom that’s built right and will last, not to rack up extra charges. After 40 years in this business, we’ve learned that transparency keeps customers happy and gets us referrals.
