Bathroom Remodeling

Scope of work

Tile and grout aren't waterproof. A shower stays dry because of what's behind the tile: a sloped mortar bed or pre-sloped tray, a waterproofing membrane that runs up the walls, and properly sealed niches and valve penetrations. That layer is what we spend the most care on, because it's what a bad remodel skips and what rots out a subfloor in five years.

We remodel hall baths, primary baths and powder rooms. That includes tub-to-shower conversions, new vanities and tops, toilets, exhaust fans that actually vent outside, tile floors and walls, glass, lighting and accessories.

Demolition to studs and subfloor inspection and repair

Wall and floor tile, niches, benches and trim
Vanities, tops, mirrors, medicine cabinets and lighting
Licensed plumbing for valves, drains and fixtures

Accessibility upgrades: grab-bar blocking, low-threshold showers

Local conditions

Bathrooms in older NYC houses and buildings

Out-of-level floors. Older Staten Island and Brooklyn homes have floors that have settled over decades. We level and reinforce the subfloor before tile so large-format tiles don't crack or lip.

Apartment buildings. In condos and co-ops, waterproofing is often a board requirement because a leak lands in your neighbor's ceiling. We document the membrane with photos for the building file.

Aging in place. We add blocking for future grab bars and can build low-threshold showers so the bathroom still works for you twenty years from now.

FAQ

Bathrooms questions

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A typical full hall-bath remodel is about two to three weeks on site once tile, vanity and fixtures are on hand. Small refreshes are faster; layout changes take longer.

Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?

Yes. It's one of the most requested bathroom projects. We remove the tub, build a waterproofed shower with a low curb or curbless entry, and tile it out.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?

Replacing fixtures and finishes in place usually doesn't need a permit. Moving drains and supply lines, or adding a bathroom, generally needs a licensed plumber's filing. We'll tell you which applies.
