You’re not remodeling your bathroom because you’re bored. You’re doing it because the tile is cracked, the layout doesn’t work, or you’re tired of looking at the same outdated fixtures every morning. Maybe you’re preparing to sell and know this bathroom is costing you money. Or maybe you just want a space that feels like yours.
Here’s what changes after the work is done. You get a bathroom that works the way you need it to—better storage, a walk-in shower that doesn’t leak, lighting that actually helps you see. The space feels bigger without adding square footage. Your home value goes up, especially in Oyster Bay where buyers expect quality finishes and modern layouts.
You also get the less obvious stuff. No more avoiding that bathroom when guests come over. No more planning your morning around a cramped vanity or a tub you haven’t used in years. Just a clean, functional space that makes your daily routine easier and your home more comfortable.
Ray Coleman Home Improvement has been handling bathroom remodels and full-scale renovations across Nassau County for over five decades. We’re a general contractor, but we focus on the bigger projects—full bathroom renovations, first-floor remodels, kitchens, extensions. The kind of work that requires coordination, clean job sites, and crews who know what they’re doing.
We answer the phone. Every time. Before the job, during demo, after the final walkthrough. We’ve shown up at 3 a.m. for frozen pipe emergencies because that’s what Long Island winters do, and we know how stressful it is when something goes wrong.
Oyster Bay homeowners expect quality, and they expect communication. We’ve built our reputation on both. You’ll know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and what it costs before we start.
First, we walk through your space and talk about what’s not working. You tell us what you want—whether that’s a bigger shower, more counter space, better lighting, or a complete layout change. We take measurements, talk budget, and give you a clear estimate. No surprises later.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the demo and prep work. Our crews keep the site clean daily because we’re working in your home, not a construction zone you’re locked out of. We coordinate plumbing, electrical, tile, fixtures—all of it. You’re not managing five different people. You’re working with us.
As we go, we keep you updated. If something comes up, you hear about it right away. We install everything from the shower pan to the vanity to the final coat of paint. Then we walk through it with you to make sure it’s right.
The timeline depends on the scope, but most full bathroom remodels in Oyster Bay take three to six weeks. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and stick to it.

A full bathroom remodel covers everything from framing and plumbing to the final hardware. That includes tearing out old tile, replacing outdated plumbing and electrical, installing new flooring, retiling walls or the shower, upgrading lighting, and putting in new fixtures like the vanity, toilet, and shower or tub.
In Oyster Bay and across Nassau County, homeowners are moving toward walk-in showers with frameless glass. It makes the space feel twice as large without adding square footage. We’re also seeing more requests for smart features—heated floors, digital shower controls, better ventilation. These aren’t just trendy upgrades. They make the bathroom more comfortable and add resale value.
We also handle the details most people don’t think about until it’s too late. Proper waterproofing. Ventilation that actually prevents mold in Long Island’s humid summers. Non-slip flooring. Grab bars installed correctly if you want them now or later. Accessible vanities if that’s part of the plan.
If your project is part of a larger first-floor renovation or you’re dealing with condo or co-op board requirements, we manage that too. We know what Nassau County inspectors look for, and we know how to keep projects moving without unnecessary delays.
Most full bathroom remodels in Oyster Bay run between $17,500 and $71,000, depending on the size of the space and what you’re changing. If you’re doing a basic refresh—new vanity, toilet, tile, and paint—you’re on the lower end. If you’re reconfiguring the layout, moving plumbing, adding a walk-in shower with custom tile, and upgrading to high-end fixtures, you’re looking at the higher end or beyond.
Nassau County pricing tends to run higher than other parts of Long Island because of labor costs, material quality expectations, and the types of homes we’re working in. Oyster Bay homeowners typically want quality materials and finishes that last, which affects cost but also protects your investment.
We give you a detailed estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No vague line items. No surprise charges halfway through. If something changes during the project, we talk about it before we move forward.
A full bathroom remodel usually takes three to six weeks, depending on the scope of work and whether we’re dealing with any structural changes or permit requirements. A straightforward renovation where we’re replacing fixtures, tile, and flooring without moving walls or plumbing is on the shorter end. If we’re reconfiguring the layout, moving the shower, or adding features like heated floors, it takes longer.
Demo and rough plumbing and electrical happen in the first few days. Then we handle waterproofing, tile work, and installation of the new fixtures and finishes. The final week is usually paint, hardware, and cleanup.
We give you a realistic timeline before we start, and we stick to it. If there’s a delay—whether it’s a material backorder or something we uncover during demo—you’ll know about it immediately. We’re not the kind of contractor who disappears for a week and then shows up with excuses. You’ll have our number, and we’ll answer it.
It depends on what you’re doing. If you’re replacing fixtures, tile, flooring, and finishes without moving plumbing or electrical, you typically don’t need a permit. If you’re relocating the toilet, moving walls, adding new electrical circuits, or changing the layout, you probably do.
Nassau County has specific building codes, and if you’re in a condo or co-op, your board may have additional requirements. Some boards want detailed plans, material lists, and timelines before they approve anything. We’ve handled plenty of these projects and know how to navigate the process without unnecessary delays.
We prefer projects that don’t require permits when possible because it keeps things moving faster. But if your remodel does need permits, we’ll handle the paperwork and inspections. You’re not dealing with the town or the board on your own.
Clear out everything in the bathroom—toiletries, towels, anything in cabinets or drawers. We’ll handle the demo and removal of old fixtures, but it’s easier if the space is empty when we start. If you have another bathroom in the house, plan to use that one for the duration of the project. If this is your only bathroom, talk to us about timing so we can minimize downtime.
You’ll also want to make decisions on materials and finishes before we start. That means choosing tile, paint colors, fixtures, vanity style, and any other details. The more decisions you make upfront, the faster the project moves. If you’re stuck on choices, we can walk you through options based on what works in your space and budget.
Expect some noise and dust, even though we keep the job site as clean as possible. We’ll contain the work area, but it’s still construction. If you have pets or young kids, just plan around the schedule we give you.
We handle the design work as part of the remodel. You don’t need to hire a separate designer unless you want to. We’ll walk through your space, talk about what’s not working, and make recommendations based on layout, functionality, and budget.
Most of our clients know what they want in general terms—a bigger shower, more storage, better lighting—but they’re not sure how to make it work in the space they have. We help with that. We’ll suggest layout changes that make the room feel larger, recommend tile patterns that fit the style of your home, and point you toward fixtures that match your budget without looking cheap.
If you already have a designer or specific plans, we can work from those. But if you’re starting from scratch, we’ve done this enough times to guide you through the process without making it overwhelming. You’ll get a bathroom that works for your daily routine and fits the style of your Oyster Bay home.
We answer the phone. That sounds basic, but it’s the number one complaint we hear from homeowners who’ve worked with other contractors. You call, we pick up. You text, we respond. You have a question at 9 p.m. because you just thought of something, we get back to you.
We also keep job sites clean. Our crews show up on time, do the work, clean up daily, and treat your home like it’s theirs. You’re not dealing with trash piled up in your driveway or dust tracked through your house. We’ve been doing this for over 50 years across Nassau County, and we’ve built our reputation on professionalism and communication.
We focus on larger projects—full bathroom remodels, first-floor renovations, kitchens. We’re not trying to squeeze in ten small jobs at once. When we’re working on your bathroom, that’s where our attention is. You get a realistic timeline, a clear budget, and a finished space that actually works the way you need it to.
