You’re not remodeling for the sake of new tile. You’re doing this because your morning routine feels like a battle, your storage is nonexistent, and your bathroom hasn’t kept up with how you actually live.
A proper bathroom renovation changes that. Walk-in showers with frameless glass that make the space feel twice as large. Custom vanities that give you actual counter space and storage you can use. Lighting that doesn’t make you squint or guess. Ventilation that prevents mold before it starts.
In Rockville Centre, where the median home was built in 1944, most bathrooms weren’t designed for modern life. Updating yours isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about functionality that matches how you live now. And if you’re thinking about resale, bathroom remodels in Nassau County return around 70% of the investment and can increase your home’s value by up to 30%.
We’ve been handling bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, and full-scale home improvements across Nassau County for over five decades. Ray and his son Ray Jr. run the business together, and we focus on one thing: getting the job done right.
We’re a general contractor that specializes in larger projects—master bathrooms, first-floor renovations, extensions—the kind of work that requires coordination, experience, and crews who know what they’re doing. Our job sites stay clean. Our teams show up when they say they will. And if something goes wrong at 3 AM—frozen pipes, emergency repairs—we answer the phone.
That’s not standard in this market, but it should be. Rockville Centre homeowners deserve contractors who treat their homes with respect and their timelines seriously.
First, we walk through your bathroom with you. Not to sell you on upgrades you don’t need, but to understand what’s not working. Is it storage? Layout? Lighting? Outdated plumbing that’s causing issues behind the walls?
From there, we map out a plan. If you’re dealing with an older Rockville Centre home, we check for hidden problems—water damage, mold, outdated electrical systems—before they become expensive surprises mid-project. Then we give you a realistic timeline and budget that accounts for the actual scope of work.
Once the project starts, our crews keep the site clean every day. We handle demolition, plumbing, electrical, tile work, fixtures, and final finishes. You’re not coordinating five different subcontractors—we manage all of it. And if something comes up during the job, we tell you immediately and explain your options.
Most bathroom remodels in Nassau County take a few weeks, depending on the size and complexity. We don’t rush through to hit arbitrary deadlines, but we also don’t drag things out unnecessarily.
Ready to get started?
A full bathroom renovation covers everything from demolition to the final caulk line. That includes updated plumbing and electrical to meet current codes, new tile work for floors and walls, custom vanities with functional storage, walk-in showers or tub installations, modern fixtures, proper ventilation systems, and lighting that actually works for how you use the space.
In Rockville Centre and across Long Island, homeowners are moving away from sterile all-white bathrooms toward designs with texture and color. Ocean-inspired tones—deep navy, seafoam green, sandy beige—work well here. Bold tile statements balanced with neutral walls. Matte black or brushed gold fixtures instead of standard chrome.
We also see a lot of requests for spa-like features: radiant heated floors for cold Long Island winters, oversized rain showerheads, freestanding tubs, built-in shelving that doesn’t eat into your floor space. These aren’t just luxury add-ons—they’re practical upgrades that make your bathroom more comfortable and functional every single day.
And if energy efficiency matters to you, we can integrate low-flow fixtures, LED lighting, and better insulation. With Long Island’s rising energy costs, those choices pay off over time.
The average bathroom remodel on Long Island runs around $14,808, but that number moves depending on the size of your bathroom, the materials you choose, and how much structural work is involved. A basic refresh—new fixtures, paint, updated lighting—might start closer to $7,400. A full gut renovation with custom tile, a walk-in shower, and high-end finishes can push into the $25,000+ range.
Labor typically makes up 40-60% of the total cost, especially in Nassau County where skilled tradespeople command higher rates. If your Rockville Centre home was built before 1950, there’s a good chance we’ll find outdated plumbing, electrical issues, or water damage once we open up the walls. Those aren’t upsells—they’re real problems that need fixing before we close everything back up.
The best way to get an accurate number is to have us walk through your space and give you a detailed estimate based on what you actually need, not a generic quote pulled from a website.
Most bathroom remodels take between two and four weeks, depending on the scope. A straightforward update—new vanity, tile, fixtures—might be done in two weeks. A full renovation with plumbing relocation, custom tile work, and structural changes can stretch closer to four or five weeks.
Delays happen when we uncover hidden issues. In older Rockville Centre homes, that’s common. Mold behind walls, outdated pipes that need replacing, electrical systems that don’t meet code—we deal with these mid-project, and they add time. We don’t hide that from you. If something comes up, we explain what it is, why it matters, and how long it’ll take to fix.
We also don’t overlap too many projects at once. When we’re working on your bathroom, our crew is focused on your bathroom—not bouncing between three other jobs. That keeps things moving and prevents the kind of drawn-out timelines that frustrate homeowners.
Clear out everything from your bathroom before we start—toiletries, towels, medications, anything stored in cabinets or on shelves. We’ll handle the demolition and removal of fixtures, but personal items need to be out of the space.
If it’s your only bathroom, plan for alternative arrangements. Most homeowners use a second bathroom if they have one, or set up a temporary solution elsewhere in the house. We work as quickly as possible to minimize disruption, but you won’t have access to that bathroom while we’re working.
Expect dust and noise, even though we keep the job site as clean as possible. We seal off the work area with plastic sheeting to contain debris, and we clean up at the end of each day. But construction is messy by nature, so it helps to move anything valuable or fragile away from the immediate area. If you have specific concerns—pets, kids, work-from-home schedules—let us know upfront so we can plan around them.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common requests we get in Rockville Centre. Older homes here weren’t built with spacious bathrooms, so most of our work involves maximizing every inch without expanding the footprint.
Walk-in showers with frameless glass are the biggest game-changer. They eliminate the visual barrier of a shower curtain or framed door, which makes the room feel open and modern. We also use large-format tiles on floors and walls—fewer grout lines create a cleaner, more expansive look. Wall-mounted vanities free up floor space and make the room feel less cramped. Recessed shelving and built-in niches add storage without eating into your square footage.
Lighting plays a huge role too. A single overhead fixture isn’t enough. We add task lighting around mirrors, ambient lighting for overall brightness, and sometimes accent lighting to highlight design features. Good lighting makes small spaces feel larger and more functional. If your current bathroom feels dark and cramped, better lighting and a smarter layout will change that completely.
It depends on what you’re doing. If you’re replacing fixtures, updating tile, or swapping out a vanity without moving plumbing or electrical, you typically don’t need a permit. But if you’re relocating plumbing lines, moving walls, upgrading electrical panels, or making structural changes, Nassau County requires permits.
We handle permit applications when they’re necessary, but we’re also experienced with projects that don’t require them. A lot of homeowners prefer to avoid the permit process when possible—it adds time and cost—and we’re comfortable working within those parameters as long as the work is done to code.
That said, if your bathroom has serious issues—outdated wiring, plumbing that’s not up to code, structural problems—we’re going to recommend doing it right, even if that means pulling permits. Cutting corners on safety or code compliance isn’t worth it, especially if you’re planning to sell your home down the line. Buyers and inspectors will catch those issues, and fixing them later is always more expensive than doing it correctly the first time.
We answer the phone. That sounds basic, but in this market, it’s not. You call us before the job, during the job, and after the job—we pick up. If something goes wrong at 3 AM, we’re there. That level of availability sets us apart from most contractors on Long Island.
We also keep our job sites clean and our crews professional. You’re not dealing with a rotating cast of subcontractors who show up whenever they feel like it. Our teams are experienced, reliable, and respectful of your home. We’ve been doing this for over 50 years, and we’ve built a reputation in Rockville Centre and across Nassau County by doing what we say we’re going to do.
We specialize in larger projects—full bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, first-floor additions—so we’re equipped to handle complex work that requires coordination and expertise. And we’re licensed, insured, and bonded across all of Nassau and Suffolk County. Our BuildZoom score ranks in the top 1% of licensed contractors in New York, which reflects the quality of our work and the trust we’ve earned from homeowners over the years.
