You’re spending over an hour in there every day. If your bathroom layout doesn’t work, if storage is a joke, or if you’re stepping around someone just to brush your teeth—that’s not a small problem.
A real bathroom remodel changes how your morning starts. More counter space means less clutter. A walk-in shower with a rainfall head means you’re not fighting a cramped tub. Heated floors mean your feet hit warmth, not cold tile in January.
This isn’t about making it pretty for resale. It’s about making it functional for right now. You get space that breathes, storage that makes sense, and finishes that hold up to salt air and humidity. That’s what a bathroom renovation should do.
Ray Coleman Home Improvement has been handling bathroom remodels across Lido Beach and Nassau County for five decades. That’s not marketing talk—it’s just how long we’ve been here.
You’ll get someone on the phone when you call. Job sites get cleaned up every day, not just at the end. If a pipe freezes at 3 a.m., we answer. That’s not exceptional service—it’s baseline for how we operate.
Lido Beach homes deal with salt air, humidity, and cold winters. We know which materials hold up and which layouts make sense for the space you actually have. You’re not getting a generic remodel—you’re getting one that works for where you live.
First, we walk through your bathroom with you. You tell us what’s not working—tight layout, no storage, outdated fixtures—and we talk through what’s possible within your space and budget.
Then we design it. You’ll see layout options, material choices for tile and vanity installation, and a timeline that accounts for any permit work if needed. We handle coordination with the town so you’re not chasing paperwork.
During the remodel, our crew shows up on time and cleans up daily. You’ll know what’s happening each week. Plumbing, electrical, tile installation, shower remodeling—it all gets done in sequence so nothing holds up the next step.
When it’s finished, you get a bathroom that works. Better storage, improved layout, finishes that last. And if something comes up after we’re done, you can still reach us.
Ready to get started?
A full bathroom renovation covers everything from demolition to the final grout line. That means ripping out old tile, replacing plumbing and electrical as needed, installing new vanities and fixtures, and handling all the finish work.
In Lido Beach, you’re dealing with older homes and coastal conditions. We use materials that handle humidity without warping or cracking. Glass-enclosed showers, heated floors, custom storage—these aren’t luxury add-ons. They’re standard requests because they solve real problems.
Most bathroom remodels here run between three and six weeks depending on size and scope. If we’re adding square footage or moving plumbing, it takes longer. If it’s a straightforward refresh with new tile, vanity, and shower, it moves faster. You’ll know the timeline before we start, and we stick to it.
It depends on what you’re changing and how much space you’re working with. A basic refresh—new vanity, tile, and fixtures—starts around $15,000. A mid-range remodel with layout changes, custom tile work, and better materials runs $21,000 to $40,000. A full luxury renovation with high-end finishes, heated floors, and spa features starts at $40,000 and goes up from there.
In Nassau County, material costs run higher than other parts of the state, and labor follows. You’re also paying for work that accounts for local building codes and coastal conditions. Cheaper quotes usually mean corners get cut—either in materials, labor quality, or how long the work actually lasts.
We give you a clear estimate upfront. No surprises, no change orders unless you change the scope. You’ll know what you’re paying for before we touch a wall.
Most bathroom remodels take three to six weeks. If it’s a straightforward replacement—same layout, new finishes—you’re looking at the shorter end. If you’re moving plumbing, adding space, or dealing with permit delays, it stretches longer.
Lido Beach projects sometimes hit delays with material delivery or weather, especially in winter. We build buffer time into the schedule so you’re not left with a half-finished bathroom for weeks. Our crews work in sequence—demo, plumbing and electrical, tile and fixtures, then final finishes. Each phase has to be done right before the next one starts.
You’ll have a timeline before we begin, and we update you if anything shifts. Most clients are back to a fully functional bathroom within a month.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common requests we get. Small bathrooms feel cramped because of bad layout, not just size. Moving a toilet six inches or swapping a tub for a walk-in shower can open up the whole room.
Glass-enclosed showers make a space feel bigger because you’re not blocking sightlines with a curtain or opaque door. Wall-mounted vanities free up floor space. Recessed storage in the shower or medicine cabinets built into the wall add function without eating into the room.
Light also matters. If your bathroom has one dim fixture, it’s going to feel tight no matter what. We add layered lighting—overhead, vanity, and sometimes in-shower—so the space feels open and usable. Small bathrooms don’t have to feel small if the design is smart.
It depends on what you’re changing. If you’re replacing fixtures in the same spots—new vanity, new tile, same layout—you usually don’t need a permit. If you’re moving plumbing, adding square footage, or changing electrical significantly, you do.
Lido Beach falls under Town of Hempstead jurisdiction, and they’re strict about permit work. Skipping permits might save time upfront, but it causes problems when you sell or if something goes wrong. Inspectors can make you rip out unpermitted work, and insurance won’t cover damage from unpermitted plumbing or electrical.
We handle permit applications and coordinate inspections so you’re not dealing with the town directly. It adds a week or two to the timeline, but it’s done right and you’re covered.
Start with vertical space. Most bathrooms waste the area above the toilet or beside the vanity. Adding recessed shelving, tall cabinets, or built-in niches in the shower gives you storage without taking up floor space.
Vanity choice matters too. A floating vanity with drawers holds more than a pedestal sink, and you’re not losing space to legs or plumbing. Medicine cabinets built into the wall instead of mounted on it save four inches and give you actual depth for storage.
Custom solutions cost more upfront but solve the problem permanently. We’ve built pull-out hampers, hidden outlets inside drawers, and recessed shelving between studs. If you’re remodeling anyway, it’s the time to add storage where you actually need it—not just where it fits.
Coastal homes deal with humidity, salt air, and temperature swings. That rules out materials that warp, rust, or crack under those conditions. Porcelain tile holds up better than natural stone in wet areas. Quartz countertops handle moisture better than marble without constant sealing.
For fixtures, you want finishes that resist corrosion—brushed nickel, stainless steel, or matte black. Chrome looks good initially but shows water spots and can pit over time near the coast. Grout choice matters too. Epoxy grout costs more but doesn’t stain or crack like standard grout, and it handles moisture without growing mold.
We walk you through material options based on your budget and how the bathroom gets used. If you have kids or guests using it daily, durability matters more than trend. If it’s a primary bath, you have more flexibility to choose based on style. Either way, we’re recommending what lasts in this climate—not just what looks good in a showroom.
