You’re not remodeling your bathroom because you’re bored. You’re doing it because the space doesn’t work anymore—cramped layout, outdated fixtures, or a shower that feels like a closet. Maybe you’re planning to age in place and need grab bars that don’t scream “hospital.” Or you want a master bathroom that actually feels like a retreat instead of a rushed afterthought.
Here’s what changes when the work is done right. You walk into a bathroom that fits how your household actually moves. Storage where you need it. A walk-in shower with enough room to breathe. Lighting that doesn’t make you squint at the mirror. Floors that won’t buckle the first time steam hits them.
And if you’re thinking about resale, a renovated bathroom consistently ranks as one of the top three factors buyers look at in Nassau County. Not because it’s trendy—because it signals the home was maintained. That’s the difference between a quick sale and sitting on the market for months.
This isn’t about making your bathroom Instagram-ready. It’s about creating a space that works for the next ten years, not just the next showing.
Ray Coleman Home Improvement has spent over 50 years working on homes across Nassau and Suffolk County. We’re not a crew that shows up, tears things apart, and disappears for two weeks. Ray is on-site daily, managing the job from demo to final walkthrough.
That matters in Jericho, where older homes come with plumbing surprises and layouts that don’t follow modern code. We focus on large-scale bathroom remodels—the kind that involve moving walls, rerouting pipes, or adding a second vanity. And we specialize in projects that don’t require permits, which cuts your timeline in half and keeps the process predictable.
You’ll get a call back. The job site gets cleaned every day. And if a pipe freezes at 3 a.m. in January, we’re the ones you can actually reach. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we’ve stayed in business this long in one of the most competitive markets on Long Island.
First, we come out to see the space. Not for a sales pitch—for measurements, photos, and an honest conversation about what’s possible within your budget and timeline. If your layout doesn’t make sense, we’ll tell you. If your plumbing is going to add cost, you’ll know before we start tearing up tile.
Once you approve the plan, we schedule the work and give you a realistic timeline. Most full bathroom remodels take two to four months depending on scope, but we’re not the type to stretch a six-week job into twelve. Demo happens fast. Framing, plumbing, and electrical come next. Then tile, fixtures, vanity, and final finishes.
Throughout the process, the site stays clean. You’re not stepping over drywall scraps to get to your kitchen. Our crews show up on time, do the work, and leave the space cleaner than they found it. And if something comes up—a hidden leak, outdated wiring—we call you immediately, explain the issue, and give you options. No surprises on the final invoice.
When we’re done, you do a final walkthrough with Ray. If something’s not right, we fix it before we pack up. That’s the standard.

A full bathroom renovation with Ray Coleman Home Improvement includes everything from demolition to the final caulk line. We handle framing, plumbing reroutes, electrical upgrades, tile work, vanity installation, shower or tub replacement, and fixture mounting. If you’re adding a walk-in shower with a curbless entry, we’ll make sure the slope drains correctly and the waterproofing holds up to Long Island humidity.
We also install the details that most homeowners don’t think about until it’s too late—proper ventilation to prevent mold, blocking behind walls for future grab bars, and underlayment that won’t rot out in five years. If you want heated floors or a rainfall showerhead, we’ll integrate that too. Same goes for smart mirrors, Bluetooth speakers, or motion-sensor lighting.
In Jericho, a lot of homes were built in the 60s and 70s, which means cast iron pipes, outdated wiring, and layouts designed for smaller families. We’ve seen it all. If your bathroom needs more than cosmetic work—if it needs real structural updates—we’re set up to handle it without farming the job out to three different subcontractors.
You’re also getting a contractor who’s licensed, insured, and bonded across Nassau County. That’s not optional for us. It’s how we protect you and your property from day one.
Most full bathroom remodels in Jericho run between $18,000 and $50,000, depending on size, materials, and how much structural work is involved. If you’re just swapping fixtures and retiling, you’re on the lower end. If you’re gutting the space, moving plumbing, adding a walk-in shower, and upgrading electrical, expect to be closer to the higher range.
The national average sits around $12,000, but that doesn’t reflect Long Island pricing. Labor costs more here. Materials cost more here. And older homes—especially in Nassau County—come with hidden issues that don’t show up until the walls are open. That’s why we give you a detailed estimate upfront, so you’re not blindsided halfway through the job.
We don’t do budget overruns unless you approve a change. If we find something that needs attention—like a rotted subfloor or outdated plumbing—we stop, explain it, and give you a price before moving forward. No surprises on the final bill.
A full bathroom remodel typically takes two to four months from start to finish. That includes demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, and final fixtures. If you’re doing a smaller refresh—new vanity, paint, fixtures—you’re looking at two to three weeks.
The timeline depends on scope, material availability, and whether we run into structural issues. In older Jericho homes, it’s not uncommon to find plumbing that needs rerouting or subfloors that need replacing. Those add time, but we account for them in the schedule so you’re not left without a working bathroom for months.
We also don’t drag jobs out. Once we start, we’re there daily until it’s done. You won’t have a half-finished bathroom sitting for weeks because the crew got pulled to another job. That’s not how we operate. Ray is on-site managing the work, and our guys show up on time, every time.
It depends on what you’re doing. If you’re replacing fixtures, retiling, or swapping a vanity, you typically don’t need a permit. If you’re moving walls, rerouting plumbing, or adding new electrical circuits, you probably do.
That said, we specialize in bathroom remodels that don’t require permits. Not because we’re cutting corners—because we focus on projects that fall within the scope of work that doesn’t trigger permit requirements. That keeps your timeline predictable and avoids the delays that come with waiting on inspections or approvals from the town.
If your project does require a permit, we’ll tell you upfront. But most of the large-scale bathroom renovations we do in Jericho—walk-in showers, double vanities, new tile, updated lighting—don’t. That’s one of the reasons homeowners choose us. We keep the process moving without the bureaucratic headaches.
Yes. Walk-in showers are one of the most requested upgrades we do, especially for homeowners who want to age in place or just prefer the open, modern look. We handle everything—removing the old tub, adjusting the plumbing, installing a curbless or low-threshold base, tiling the walls and floor, and mounting a frameless glass enclosure if that’s what you want.
The key is getting the slope right so water drains properly and doesn’t pool in the corner. We also make sure the waterproofing is done correctly, because a poorly sealed shower will cause mold and subfloor damage within a year. That’s especially important in Long Island’s humid climate.
If you want extras like a built-in bench, rainfall showerhead, or handheld sprayer, we can integrate those too. And if you’re thinking about future accessibility, we’ll add blocking behind the walls so grab bars can be mounted securely down the road without tearing up tile. It’s a small step now that saves a major headache later.
Clear out everything in the bathroom—toiletries, towels, rugs, anything stored under the sink. We’ll handle the demo and removal, but the less stuff in the space, the faster we can get started. If you have a second bathroom, plan to use that for the duration of the project. If you don’t, let us know—we can prioritize getting the toilet reinstalled at the end of each day so you’re not completely without facilities.
You should also expect noise and dust, especially during demo. We’ll seal off the work area with plastic sheeting to contain the mess, but some dust will get through. If you have pets or young kids, it’s worth planning around the loudest days.
Finally, make your material selections early. If you’re picking tile, fixtures, vanities, or lighting, get those decisions locked in before we start. Delays in material selection are one of the biggest reasons bathroom remodels run over schedule. We’ll guide you through what you need and when, but the faster you decide, the faster we finish.
Yes. We warranty our workmanship, and the materials we install come with manufacturer warranties that we’ll walk you through at the end of the job. If something we installed fails because of how we installed it, we’ll come back and fix it. That’s the standard.
What we don’t warranty is damage caused by neglect or misuse—like ignoring a slow leak until it rots out the subfloor, or using abrasive cleaners on natural stone tile. But if a fixture we mounted comes loose, or grout cracks because the substrate wasn’t prepped right, that’s on us.
We also offer emergency service if something goes wrong outside of normal business hours. Frozen pipes, burst supply lines, major leaks—we’re available 24/7 because we know that plumbing doesn’t wait for Monday morning. That’s part of the reason homeowners in Jericho keep our number saved. We’re not just here for the remodel. We’re here after it’s done too.
