You’re not just swapping out fixtures. A proper bathroom renovation changes how your mornings feel, how your home shows, and what buyers will pay when it’s time to sell.
Walk-in showers with frameless glass. Custom vanities that actually store what you need. Heated floors that make January mornings bearable. Smart mirrors, rainfall showerheads, and finishes that look like they belong in a resort—not a builder-grade spec home.
Upper Brookville properties demand a different standard. Your bathroom should reflect that. When the work’s done right, you get a space that feels like an escape, functions without frustration, and adds real value to a home that’s already worth nearly $2 million.
The difference isn’t just aesthetic. It’s about starting and ending your day in a space designed around how you actually live—not how a contractor thinks you should.
We’ve been handling large-scale renovations across Nassau County for over 50 years. That’s not a marketing line—it’s just the truth.
We’re licensed, insured, and ranked in the top 1% of contractors in New York. Ray and Ray Jr. are on-site for every job, which means you’re not dealing with a different crew lead every week or playing phone tag with someone who doesn’t know your project.
Upper Brookville homeowners expect responsiveness, cleanliness, and work that doesn’t need to be redone. We answer the phone. We show up when we say we will. We clean up before we leave. And if your pipe freezes at 3 a.m., we’re there—because that’s what actual customer service looks like in this business.
First, we walk through your space and talk about what’s not working. Layout issues, storage problems, outdated plumbing, ventilation concerns—whatever’s driving the decision to remodel. We’re not here to upsell you on things you don’t need.
Then we map out the scope. If you’re keeping the existing footprint, costs stay reasonable. If you’re moving plumbing or reconfiguring the layout, we explain what that involves before you commit. No surprises halfway through demo.
During construction, you’ll see the same crew every day. The job site gets cleaned before they leave. You’ll know what’s happening next because we actually communicate. And when issues come up—and they do in older homes—we handle them without turning it into a change order nightmare.
The goal is simple: get you a finished bathroom that works, looks incredible, and doesn’t leave you stressed about whether the contractor’s going to show up tomorrow.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting complete demolition and reconstruction. That means new plumbing, updated electrical, proper ventilation, moisture barriers, tile work, custom cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, lighting—the full build.
In Upper Brookville, most of our bathroom projects involve high-end finishes. Natural stone, custom vanities with double sinks, frameless glass enclosures, smart shower systems, heated floors, and statement lighting. These aren’t builder-grade materials. They’re the kind of finishes you’d see in new luxury construction.
We also handle the layout changes that most bathroom contractors avoid. Moving a toilet, relocating a shower, expanding into adjacent space—if it makes the bathroom function better, we know how to do it without creating plumbing or structural problems.
Long Island homes, especially estates in Nassau County, have specific challenges: older plumbing systems, unique layouts, and homeowners who expect resort-level results. We’ve been doing this long enough to anticipate what’s behind the walls before we open them up, which keeps the project on schedule and on budget.
For a complete bathroom renovation on Long Island, you’re looking at $17,500 to $71,000 and up, depending on finishes and scope. That’s for a full rip-and-replace: demo, plumbing, electrical, tile, fixtures, cabinetry, and labor.
Upper Brookville projects typically fall on the higher end because of the quality of materials and custom work involved. If you’re doing a master bathroom with natural stone, a frameless walk-in shower, custom double vanity, heated floors, and high-end fixtures, expect to be closer to $60,000–$80,000.
Layout changes add cost. Moving plumbing or expanding the footprint means more labor, potential structural work, and coordination with other trades. We give you a detailed estimate upfront so you know what you’re spending and why. And we recommend setting aside 15–20% for a contingency, especially in older homes where you don’t know what’s behind the walls until demo starts.
Most full bathroom remodels take 3 to 6 weeks, depending on size, complexity, and material lead times. A straightforward refresh with no layout changes can be done in 3 weeks. A gut renovation with custom work, plumbing relocation, or tile delays can push closer to 6.
The timeline depends on what you’re changing. If we’re keeping the existing layout and just updating finishes, it moves faster. If we’re tearing out walls, moving the shower, or waiting on custom cabinetry, it takes longer.
We keep you in the loop throughout. You’ll know when inspections are happening, when materials are arriving, and when each phase wraps. The job site stays clean, and we don’t disappear for days at a time. Delays happen—especially with custom orders or supply chain issues—but we communicate them immediately, not after you’ve been wondering where we are for a week.
You can, but it depends on how many bathrooms you have and your tolerance for noise and dust. If it’s your only bathroom, you’ll need a plan—whether that’s using another bathroom in the house, staying elsewhere temporarily, or setting up a temporary solution.
We do everything we can to minimize disruption. The crew cleans up at the end of every day, contains dust as much as possible, and keeps work areas organized. But demo is loud, tile cutting is loud, and there will be dust no matter how careful we are.
Most Upper Brookville clients stay in their homes during the remodel because they have multiple bathrooms. If it’s a master bath renovation, you can use a guest bath. If it’s a smaller secondary bathroom, it’s usually manageable. We’ve had clients leave for the demo phase and come back once the messy work is done—that’s an option too.
The first mistake is not planning for proper ventilation. Bathrooms generate moisture, and without adequate ventilation, you’re setting yourself up for mold and mildew problems down the road. We make sure every bathroom has the right exhaust fan, properly vented to the outside—not just into the attic.
The second mistake is trying to DIY complex work to save money. Plumbing, electrical, and tile work require skill and experience. A botched tile job or improper plumbing can cost more to fix than it would have cost to hire a professional in the first place. We’ve redone plenty of DIY disasters, and it’s never cheaper the second time around.
The third mistake is not budgeting for contingencies. Older homes hide problems—rotted subfloors, outdated wiring, plumbing that’s not up to code. If you don’t set aside 15–20% for unexpected issues, you’re going to be stressed when something comes up. We try to anticipate problems before demo, but you can’t always know what’s behind the walls until you open them.
We handle all the permitting and code compliance work. If your project requires a permit—like moving plumbing, doing electrical work, or making structural changes—we pull it, schedule inspections, and make sure everything passes.
That said, many bathroom remodels don’t require permits if you’re keeping the existing layout and just updating finishes. Replacing a vanity, retiling a shower, swapping fixtures—those typically don’t need permits in Nassau County. But if you’re relocating a toilet, moving walls, or doing anything that affects plumbing or electrical systems, permits are required.
We prefer jobs that don’t require permits because they move faster and cost less, but we’re fully equipped to handle permitted work when necessary. You don’t have to worry about dealing with the county or scheduling inspectors—that’s on us. We make sure the work is done to code and passes inspection the first time.
A well-executed bathroom remodel typically recoups 60–70% of its cost at resale, but in Upper Brookville’s luxury market, the return can be higher if the renovation brings the home up to the expected standard for the area.
Buyers in this market expect high-end finishes, modern layouts, and spa-quality bathrooms. If your bathroom still has builder-grade tile from the ’90s or a cramped layout with a tub nobody uses, it’s a red flag. Updating it removes a barrier to sale and makes the home more competitive.
Beyond resale value, there’s the daily value of actually enjoying your bathroom. If you’re planning to stay in the home for years, the return isn’t just financial—it’s about living in a space that feels good every single day. A bathroom that functions well, looks incredible, and doesn’t frustrate you every morning is worth more than a percentage on a spreadsheet.
