You wake up and actually want to use your bathroom. The shower has room to move. The vanity has storage that makes sense. The lighting doesn’t make you look like you’re in a basement.
That’s what a real bathroom remodel does. It fixes the cramped layout that’s been annoying you for years. It updates the fixtures that stopped working right sometime in 2015. It turns a space you tolerated into one you’re glad you invested in.
Most Roslyn homeowners spend between $17,500 and $40,000 on a full bathroom renovation, depending on size and finishes. That’s not small money. So when you’re spending it, you want a contractor who answers the phone, keeps the job site clean, and doesn’t disappear halfway through. You want someone who knows what frozen pipes look like in January and how to prevent them before they burst.
Ray Coleman Home Improvement has been handling bathroom remodels and home renovations across Nassau County for over 50 years. We’re a family-owned general contractor, and Ray still answers emergency calls at 3 a.m. when pipes freeze.
We work on larger projects—full bathroom renovations, master bath upgrades, walk-in shower installations. The kind of work that requires coordination, clean crews, and someone who actually picks up the phone. We’re licensed and insured across Nassau and Suffolk County.
Roslyn homeowners deal with older housing stock, tight spaces, and brutal winters. We’ve seen it all. If your bathroom hasn’t been touched since the ’90s, or if you’re tired of a contractor who won’t call you back, that’s exactly the kind of situation we handle every week.
First, we come to your house in Roslyn and walk through what you want. You tell us what’s not working—layout, storage, lighting, whatever. We talk about budget, timeline, and what’s realistic for the space you have.
Then we put together a plan. If you’re doing a full gut, we handle demo, plumbing, electrical, tile, vanity, fixtures—all of it. If it’s a smaller refresh, we focus on what matters most. Either way, you know the cost upfront and the timeline before we start.
During the job, our crews show up on time and keep the site clean. You’re not coming home to a disaster zone every night. We coordinate the plumber, electrician, tile guy—everyone. And if something comes up, you can call or text and actually get a response. When we’re done, you do a final walkthrough, and we make sure everything works the way it should before we consider the job complete.

A complete bathroom renovation covers everything from the subfloor to the last coat of paint. That means demo and removal of old fixtures, updating plumbing and electrical to code, installing new tile or flooring, hanging drywall, and setting your vanity, toilet, and shower or tub.
In Roslyn, most bathrooms we work on are in older homes where the plumbing needs updating and the layout could use help. We regularly install walk-in showers with frameless glass, double vanities with real storage, and recessed lighting that actually brightens the space. If you want heated floors or a soaking tub, we do that too.
The 2026 trend is quiet luxury—clean lines, natural materials, warm metals, handcrafted tile. That’s what buyers expect now, and it’s what makes your home stand out if you ever sell. But more than that, it’s what makes your bathroom feel like the spa-style space you actually want to use every morning. We source materials that hold up to Long Island’s humidity and temperature swings, and we install them correctly so you’re not calling someone back in two years to fix grout or leaks.
Most full bathroom renovations take three to five weeks from demo to completion. That timeline assumes we’re gutting the space, updating plumbing and electrical, retiling, and installing all new fixtures.
Smaller projects—like replacing a tub with a walk-in shower or updating vanity and tile—can be done in two to three weeks. Larger master bath remodels with custom tile work, multiple fixtures, or layout changes can push closer to six weeks.
The timeline depends on the scope, but also on how quickly we can get materials and coordinate trades. We give you a schedule upfront and update you if anything shifts. The goal is to get your bathroom back in working order as fast as possible without cutting corners on quality.
A full bathroom remodel in Roslyn typically runs between $17,500 and $40,000, depending on the size of the space and the finishes you choose. If you’re doing a small guest bath with standard fixtures and tile, you’re on the lower end. A master bathroom with custom tile, a walk-in shower, double vanity, and premium finishes can push past $40,000.
The cost includes labor, materials, plumbing, electrical, tile, fixtures, and cleanup. We give you a detailed estimate before we start so there are no surprises halfway through. Hidden costs usually come from things like rotted subfloors or outdated plumbing that needs replacing once we open the walls—but we flag those issues early and talk through options before moving forward.
If budget is tight, we can prioritize what matters most and phase the project. But we don’t cut corners on things like waterproofing or code compliance. Those aren’t negotiable.
Yes. Frozen pipes are a real problem in Nassau County, especially during January and February cold snaps. If we’re doing a renovation and temperatures drop, we take precautions—insulating exposed lines, keeping heat on in the work area, and making sure nothing is left vulnerable overnight.
If you have an emergency outside of a remodel—like a pipe that bursts at 3 a.m.—we offer emergency response. Ray has personally gone to customers’ homes in the middle of the night to deal with frozen or burst pipes. That’s not something every contractor does, but it’s part of how we operate.
During a bathroom remodel, we’re already working with your plumbing system, so we can upgrade old pipes that are prone to freezing or add insulation in areas that are at risk. Long Island winters are tough on older homes, and if your bathroom hasn’t been updated in decades, chances are the plumbing could use some attention.
Yes. Walk-in showers are one of the most common requests we get for bathroom remodels in Roslyn. Most homeowners want to replace an old tub-shower combo with a spacious walk-in that has frameless glass, a bench, and multiple shower heads.
We handle the full installation—demo of the old setup, waterproofing, custom tile work, glass enclosure, fixtures, and drainage. If you want a curbless entry for accessibility or a niche for storage, we build that in. We also install custom tile patterns, whether that’s subway tile, large-format porcelain, or handcrafted options that fit the quiet luxury trend.
The tile work is where a bathroom remodel either looks high-end or cheap. We don’t rush it. Our tile guys have been doing this for decades, and they know how to handle tricky layouts, corner angles, and waterproofing details that prevent leaks down the road. If you’re investing in a remodel, the tile work needs to be done right.
It will disrupt that bathroom, obviously. But we work to contain the mess and keep the rest of your house as normal as possible. Our crews set up dust barriers, use drop cloths, and clean up at the end of each day. We bring our own portable facilities so no one is using your other bathrooms.
If you only have one bathroom, that’s tougher. We try to keep the toilet functional as long as possible and coordinate the work so you’re not without a working bathroom for weeks. Some homeowners stay with family for a few days during the heavy demo and plumbing work. Others tough it out. We work with whatever makes sense for your situation.
The job site stays organized. Materials are staged neatly, tools are put away, and debris is removed regularly. You’re not tripping over tile boxes or walking through drywall dust every time you come home. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that a clean, professional job site makes the whole process easier for everyone.
If your bathroom has layout problems—like a cramped shower, terrible lighting, or no storage—you probably need a full remodel. Same if the plumbing is old, the tile is cracked, or there’s water damage behind the walls. At that point, doing partial updates just kicks the real problems down the road.
If the layout works and the bones are solid, you might be fine with a refresh—new vanity, updated fixtures, fresh paint, better lighting. That costs a lot less and takes a fraction of the time. But if you’re opening walls anyway to fix plumbing or electrical, it usually makes sense to do the full remodel while everything is exposed.
We’ll walk through your space and tell you honestly what makes sense. If you don’t need a full gut, we’ll say so. But if your bathroom hasn’t been touched since 1995 and the plumbing is on borrowed time, we’re not going to tell you a cosmetic update will solve it. We’d rather give you the real answer upfront than have you call us back in two years to redo everything.
