You’re not just updating tile. You’re fixing what doesn’t work, adding what you need now, and building something that holds up through Long Island winters and daily wear.
A real bathroom renovation means your shower doesn’t leak. Your vanity has storage that makes sense. Your lighting works where you need it. If you’re planning to age in place, it means grab bars, curbless entry, and a layout that won’t force you to move in ten years.
Most homes in Point Lookout were built before 1940. That means outdated plumbing, tight layouts, and materials that weren’t meant to last this long. A proper remodel addresses all of it—not just what’s visible. You end up with a bathroom that functions better, looks cleaner, and adds real value to your home.
Ray Coleman Home Improvement is a general contractor based on Long Island. We specialize in large-scale residential projects—full bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, first-floor buildouts. The kind of work that actually changes how you live in your home.
We answer the phone. We respond to texts. We keep job sites clean and our crews professional. If a pipe freezes in January, we’re available for emergency response—not just scheduled work.
Point Lookout homeowners expect quality that matches their investment. We get that. Most of the homes here are worth over a million dollars, and many were built generations ago. You need a contractor who understands older construction, knows how to work with what’s there, and won’t cut corners on materials or process.
First, we walk through your space and talk about what’s not working. Maybe it’s a cramped shower, a vanity with no storage, or plumbing that’s failing. We look at the structure, check for hidden issues, and map out what needs to happen.
Then we plan the layout and select materials. If you’re dealing with an older home, this is where we address things like outdated plumbing lines, insufficient ventilation, or electrical that’s not up to code. We handle permitting if needed, though many bathroom projects don’t require it.
Demo comes next. We protect the rest of your home, remove what’s being replaced, and assess any surprises in the walls. Then it’s rough plumbing, electrical, framing adjustments if necessary. After inspections, we install your new shower or tub, tile work, vanity, fixtures, and lighting.
The final phase is finishing details—paint, trim, hardware, caulking. We clean the site daily and do a final walkthrough with you before calling it complete. You’re left with a bathroom that works the way you need it to.

A full bathroom remodel includes everything from demolition to final fixtures. That means removing old materials, updating plumbing and electrical systems, installing new tile or flooring, replacing the vanity and toilet, upgrading your shower or tub, and finishing with paint and trim.
In Point Lookout, where most homes date back to the 1930s and 40s, you’re often dealing with galvanized pipes, outdated wiring, and layouts that don’t meet modern needs. We address those structural issues as part of the remodel—not as surprise add-ons halfway through.
If you’re over 65 or planning to stay in your home long-term, accessibility matters. Walk-in showers with grab bars, comfort-height toilets, slip-resistant flooring, and better lighting aren’t just nice features—they’re what keep you safe and independent. We build those elements in from the start.
Nassau County winters are hard on plumbing. Frozen pipes can burst and cause thousands in damage. When we remodel, we make sure your bathroom plumbing is insulated, properly routed, and built to handle cold snaps without emergency calls at 2 a.m.
Most full bathroom remodels take three to five weeks, depending on the scope. If you’re just replacing fixtures and tile, you’re on the shorter end. If we’re moving plumbing, addressing structural issues, or dealing with surprises in the walls, it takes longer.
Older homes—and most of Point Lookout’s housing stock qualifies—often have hidden problems. Rotted subfloors, outdated wiring, or plumbing that needs rerouting. We don’t know what’s behind the walls until demo happens. That’s not a delay tactic. It’s reality when you’re working with homes built before 1940.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The goal is to finish on schedule without rushing work that needs to be done right.
A full bathroom remodel typically runs between $15,000 and $40,000, depending on size, materials, and how much structural work is involved. If you’re adding high-end finishes, custom tile, or expanding the footprint, costs go up from there.
The biggest variables are plumbing and structural changes. Moving a toilet or shower drain means opening floors and rerouting pipes. Upgrading electrical for heated floors or additional lighting adds cost. Addressing water damage or outdated framing adds labor and materials.
We don’t give ballpark estimates over the phone because every bathroom is different. After we see your space and understand what you want, we can give you an accurate number. No surprises, no padding. Just honest pricing based on the actual work.
Yes. Aging-in-place bathroom design is something we do regularly, especially in Point Lookout where 40% of residents are over 65. The goal is to keep you safe and independent without making your bathroom look institutional.
That means walk-in showers with low or zero thresholds, grab bars installed into blocking for real support, slip-resistant tile, comfort-height toilets, and lever-style faucets that are easier to operate. We also improve lighting and make sure there’s clear floor space for mobility aids if needed down the road.
These aren’t just modifications. They’re smart design choices that make your bathroom safer and more functional for everyone, regardless of age. And they don’t hurt resale value—buyers appreciate accessible features more than ever.
It depends on what you’re changing. If you’re replacing fixtures, tile, and finishes without moving plumbing or electrical, you typically don’t need a permit. If you’re relocating a toilet, adding a shower, or doing structural work, you probably do.
Nassau County has specific requirements, and Point Lookout falls under those regulations. We handle permit applications when necessary and make sure all work meets code. That protects you during resale and ensures inspections don’t become problems later.
Many of the bathroom projects we take on don’t require permits because we’re working within the existing footprint and systems. When permits are needed, we factor that timeline into the schedule so you know what to expect upfront.
Shut off your main water supply immediately. It’s usually in the basement or near where the water line enters your home. Then call us. We respond to emergency plumbing issues including frozen and burst pipes, even outside normal business hours.
Frozen pipes are common in Long Island winters, especially in older homes with plumbing in exterior walls or unheated spaces. Once a pipe bursts, you’re looking at water damage, potential mold, and repair costs that can hit thousands of dollars.
Prevention is better. If you’re remodeling, we make sure bathroom plumbing is insulated and routed away from vulnerable areas. If you’re not remodeling yet but have pipes in risky spots, let us know. A small fix now beats a middle-of-the-night disaster later.
Yes. We’re a general contractor, which means we handle all aspects of your bathroom remodel—plumbing, electrical, tile, carpentry, painting. You’re not coordinating multiple contractors or waiting for one trade to finish before the next one starts.
That matters more than people realize. When the plumber and tile guy work for different companies, problems get blamed back and forth. When it’s all under one roof, we’re accountable for the entire project from start to finish.
It also means better quality control. We’re not handing off a rough-in to someone else and hoping it works out. We see the job through every phase and make sure each step is done right before moving to the next.
