You walk in and there’s space to move. The shower door doesn’t hit the toilet. Counter space exists where you need it. The ventilation actually works, so you’re not dealing with mold creeping up in six months.
That’s what a proper bathroom remodel gets you. Not just new tile and a fresh coat of paint—though those help—but a layout that makes sense for how you actually live. More storage where you need it. Lighting that doesn’t make you squint. Fixtures that’ll last longer than a couple years.
Most bathrooms in Nassau County homes weren’t designed for modern life. They’re tight, poorly lit, and built with materials that don’t hold up to daily use. A real renovation changes that. You get a space that functions the way it should have from the start, and you stop working around problems every single morning.
Ray Coleman Home Improvement has been handling bathroom remodels across New Hyde Park and Nassau County for over five decades. That’s not a marketing line—it’s just how long we’ve been doing this work.
You call, we answer. Job sites stay clean. Crews show up on time and know what they’re doing. If something goes wrong—a frozen pipe at 3 a.m., an unexpected issue behind the wall—we handle it without the runaround.
We’re licensed and insured, and we know Nassau County’s building codes inside out. Ventilation requirements, plumbing standards, electrical work—it all gets done right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises later. Just solid work from people who’ve been doing it long enough to know what matters.
First, we come look at your bathroom. We measure, ask what’s driving you crazy, and talk through what you actually want. Not what looks good in a magazine—what’ll work for your space and your budget.
Then we map out a plan. Layout changes if you need them. New fixtures, tile, vanity, lighting—whatever makes sense. We’ll tell you upfront what things cost and where you can save money without cutting corners. If we find something during demo—old pipes, water damage, code issues—we let you know right away and explain your options.
Once we start, the site stays clean. You’re not tripping over tools or dealing with dust everywhere. We work efficiently, keep disruption low, and stay in touch throughout. When we’re done, you’ve got a bathroom that actually works—and it’s built to last, not just look good for the inspection.
Ready to get started?
A full bathroom remodel isn’t just swapping out a vanity. It’s gutting what doesn’t work and rebuilding it right. That means new plumbing if your pipes are old or corroded—common in Long Island homes built 30, 40, 50 years ago. It means proper ventilation so moisture doesn’t destroy your investment in a year. It means electrical work that’s up to code and actually safe.
We handle layout changes when your current setup makes no sense. Moving a toilet, expanding a shower, adding a window for natural light—it’s all on the table. You get new tile, new fixtures, new lighting. We install walk-in showers, soaking tubs, double vanities, whatever fits your space and needs.
In Nassau County, a full bathroom renovation typically runs between $17,500 and $71,000 depending on size and finishes. Most of that—40% to 60%—goes to labor, because this work requires skill. Cheap labor costs you more later when things leak, crack, or fail inspection. We do it right, so you’re not calling someone else to fix it in two years.
Most full bathroom remodels take three to five weeks from demo to completion. That timeline assumes we’re doing a complete gut—tearing out old fixtures, tile, maybe moving plumbing or electrical, then rebuilding everything.
Smaller projects move faster. If you’re just replacing a vanity, updating fixtures, and doing some tile work without major layout changes, you’re looking at one to two weeks. Larger renovations—especially if we’re expanding the footprint or dealing with unexpected issues like water damage or outdated plumbing—can stretch to six or seven weeks.
Weather affects timelines too, especially in Long Island winters. Frozen ground, delayed material deliveries, or emergency calls for burst pipes can push schedules. We keep you updated if anything changes and work as efficiently as possible without rushing the quality of the work.
Yes, if you’re doing anything that involves plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. Nassau County requires permits for most bathroom remodels to make sure the work meets code—especially around ventilation, water lines, and electrical safety.
We handle the permit process. It’s part of what we do, and we know what the county inspectors look for. Proper ventilation is a big one—moisture buildup leads to mold, and that can cost you hundreds or thousands down the road if it’s not addressed correctly from the start.
Skipping permits might seem like a shortcut, but it causes problems when you sell. Buyers’ inspectors catch unpermitted work, and it can kill a deal or force you to redo everything just to close. Better to do it right the first time and avoid the headache later.
A midrange bathroom remodel has an 80% ROI in 2025—the highest it’s been since 2007. That means if you spend $20,000, you’re adding roughly $16,000 to your home’s value. Not a full return, but better than most home improvements.
Beyond resale value, updated bathrooms help homes sell faster. Recent data shows homes with renovated bathrooms sold about 23% faster than those with outdated ones. Buyers don’t want to deal with old fixtures, poor layouts, or potential moisture issues—they’d rather pay a bit more for a house that’s move-in ready.
Even if you’re not selling soon, the daily quality of life improvement matters. A bathroom that functions well, looks clean, and doesn’t frustrate you every morning is worth something, even if it’s hard to put a number on it.
For a full bathroom remodel on Long Island, plan for $17,500 to $71,000 depending on the size of your bathroom and the quality of materials you choose. The average full bathroom is about 40 square feet and costs around $15,000 for a complete renovation.
Labor typically eats up 40% to 60% of your total budget. The rest goes to materials—tile, fixtures, vanities, lighting, plumbing supplies. Higher-end finishes like natural stone, custom cabinetry, or luxury fixtures push costs up. Standard but quality materials keep you on the lower end.
Always build in a 10% to 15% buffer for surprises. Old homes often hide issues—water damage, mold, outdated wiring, pipes that need replacing. Finding these problems during demo is common, and fixing them isn’t optional if you want the job done right.
Yes. Layout problems are one of the main reasons people call us. Doors that hit toilets, vanities with no counter space, showers you can barely turn around in—these aren’t things you have to live with.
We reconfigure layouts to make better use of the space you have. Sometimes that means moving a toilet or sink a few feet. Other times it’s removing a tub to install a larger walk-in shower, or extending the vanity to add storage and counter space. Small changes often make a huge difference in how the room feels and functions.
Many Nassau County homes were built decades ago when bathrooms were an afterthought. Modern life demands more from that space, and a smart layout redesign gets you there without needing to add square footage. We’ll walk you through what’s possible given your existing plumbing and structure, and show you options that fit your budget.
First, make sure they’re licensed and insured. That protects you if something goes wrong and ensures they’re legally allowed to do the work. In Nassau County, you want someone who knows local building codes and has a track record of passing inspections.
Second, check how they communicate. Do they answer the phone? Respond to texts? Show up when they say they will? Poor communication during the sales process means worse communication during the job—and that’s when you need it most.
Third, ask about their process for handling surprises. Every remodel uncovers something—old damage, code issues, outdated materials. A good contractor explains your options, gives you clear pricing, and doesn’t disappear when problems come up. Look for someone who’s been doing this long enough to handle the unexpected without drama.
