You’re not just getting new tile and fixtures. You’re getting a bathroom that works better for how you actually live—whether that’s handling sandy feet after a beach day or getting three kids ready for school without chaos.
The difference shows up in the details most contractors skip. Proper ventilation so you’re not dealing with mold in six months. Lighting that actually works for putting on makeup or shaving. A layout that makes sense for your morning routine instead of fighting the same tight corners you’ve always hated.
And when the job’s done, you’re not wondering if shortcuts were taken or if something’s going to fall apart next year. You know what you paid, you know what you got, and your bathroom actually does what you need it to do. That’s the outcome that matters—not just a prettier space, but one that genuinely makes your daily life easier.
We’ve been doing bathroom renovations in Bohemia and throughout Suffolk County for close to ten years now. Every crew member is licensed and insured. Every project gets the permits it needs before we start tearing anything out.
What sets us apart isn’t complicated. We don’t hide costs in vague line items or pressure you into upgrades you don’t want. We give you a clear price, we show up when we say we will, and we handle the planning details that keep projects from dragging on for months.
Bohemia homeowners deal with the same things most Long Island bathrooms face—humidity from being close to the water, older homes that need careful updates, and the reality that your bathroom needs to handle real family use. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to build for it.
First, we walk through your current bathroom and talk about what’s not working. Maybe it’s an old tub you never use, terrible lighting, or a layout that wastes space. We listen to how you actually use the room, not just what looks good in a magazine.
Then we give you a detailed estimate. Not a range, not a “we’ll figure it out later”—an actual number that includes materials, labor, and permits. If something changes during the job, we talk to you before it affects the price.
Before any demolition starts, we pull the necessary permits and order your materials. This isn’t exciting, but it’s what keeps your project from sitting half-done while we wait for a vanity that’s backordered. Once everything’s lined up, our crews start the work—demo, plumbing and electrical updates, installation, tile, fixtures, and finishing touches.
Throughout the job, you’ll know what’s happening and when. We schedule inspections at the right times, we clean up daily, and we’re available when you have questions. When we’re done, your bathroom works the way it should—and you’re not dealing with surprise bills or wondering what got missed.

A complete bathroom renovation covers everything from the subfloor to the light fixtures. That means updated plumbing and electrical, new tile or flooring, shower or tub installation, vanities and countertops, proper ventilation, and lighting that actually works for the space.
In Bohemia and across Suffolk County, we’re seeing more homeowners swap out old tub-shower combos for walk-in showers with frameless glass and built-in seating. It’s not just about looks—it’s easier to clean, safer as you get older, and it’s what buyers expect if you ever sell. We also install modern exhaust fans that actually move air, because Long Island humidity will destroy a bathroom faster than anything else.
If you want smart features—digital shower controls, heated floors, or better storage solutions—we can build that in. But we’re not going to upsell you on things that don’t make sense for your budget or how you live. Some bathrooms need luxury finishes. Others just need to function better and look clean. We’ll tell you what’s worth spending on and what’s not, based on what we’ve seen hold up over time in homes like yours.
Most full bathroom remodels in Suffolk County run between $17,500 and $35,000, depending on the size of the space and what you’re changing. A standard 40-square-foot bathroom with mid-range materials and fixtures typically lands around $15,000 to $20,000. If you’re adding square footage, moving plumbing, or using high-end tile and fixtures, you’re looking at the higher end of that range.
The biggest cost drivers are usually tile work, plumbing and electrical updates, and your vanity and shower setup. Walk-in shower installations with custom tile cost more than a basic tub-shower insert, but they also add more value and functionality. We give you a detailed breakdown upfront so you can see exactly where your money’s going and make informed decisions about what’s worth it for your situation.
What matters most is that you’re not surprised halfway through the job. We price everything before we start, and if something unexpected comes up—like old plumbing that needs replacing—we talk to you about it before moving forward.
A full bathroom remodel usually takes two to four weeks, depending on the scope of work. If we’re just updating fixtures, tile, and paint, you’re looking at the shorter end. If we’re relocating plumbing, adding a walk-in shower, or dealing with unexpected issues behind the walls, it takes longer.
The timeline also depends on inspections and material availability. We order everything before we start so we’re not waiting on backordered vanities or tile. And we schedule inspections ahead of time so you’re not sitting with an unusable bathroom for days waiting for the building department to show up.
You’ll have periods where the bathroom is completely out of service—usually during demo and when we’re working on plumbing. We’ll tell you exactly when that’s happening so you can plan around it. Most homeowners in Bohemia set up a temporary bathroom situation or time the project around a vacation. We work as efficiently as possible because we know how disruptive this is to your daily routine.
Yes, if you’re doing anything beyond cosmetic updates. Replacing a toilet or vanity usually doesn’t require a permit. But if you’re moving plumbing, updating electrical, changing the layout, or doing a full renovation, you need permits from the Town of Islip building department.
Skipping permits is a gamble that’s not worth taking. If you ever sell your house, unpermitted work can kill a deal or force you to rip everything out and redo it properly. We’ve seen homeowners get hit with fines over $5,000 for unpermitted bathroom work, plus the cost of bringing everything up to code after the fact.
We handle all the permitting for you. We know what the local building department requires, we have the relationships to move things along, and we schedule inspections at the right stages of the project. It adds a little time and cost upfront, but it protects your investment and keeps you from dealing with major headaches down the road.
Honestly, most people use the terms interchangeably, and there’s no official distinction. But in practical terms, a remodel usually means you’re changing the layout or function of the space—moving walls, relocating plumbing, converting a tub to a shower. A renovation typically means you’re updating what’s already there—new tile, fixtures, vanity, paint—without changing the footprint.
For your purposes, what matters is the scope of work you need done. If your bathroom layout works fine but everything’s outdated or worn out, you’re probably looking at a renovation. If the layout doesn’t make sense, you’re constantly fighting for space, or you want to add features that require moving plumbing, that’s more of a remodel.
Either way, the process is similar. We assess what you have, figure out what needs to change, handle the permits and planning, and execute the work. The distinction matters more for pricing and timeline than anything else—remodels that involve structural or plumbing changes take longer and cost more than cosmetic renovations.
In most cases, yes. Walk-in shower installations are one of the most common requests we get in Suffolk County, and they work in almost any bathroom size. If you currently have a tub-shower combo, we can usually convert that space into a walk-in shower without changing your bathroom’s footprint.
The process involves removing your existing tub, updating the plumbing as needed, waterproofing the walls and floor properly, and installing new tile and a glass enclosure. We can add built-in seating, multiple shower heads, niche storage, and other features depending on your space and budget. The key is proper waterproofing and drainage—this is where a lot of DIY jobs and cheap contractors fail, and you end up with water damage behind the walls.
If your bathroom is on the smaller side, a walk-in shower can actually make it feel bigger by opening up sightlines and eliminating the visual bulk of a tub. We’ll measure your space, show you what’s possible, and give you options that make sense for how you’ll actually use the shower. Most of our Bohemia clients who make this switch say they should have done it years ago.
Start by making sure they’re actually licensed and insured. In New York, anyone doing significant renovation work needs proper licensing, and they should carry both liability insurance and workers’ comp. If a contractor can’t provide proof of both, walk away—you’re liable if someone gets hurt on your property.
Next, look at how they handle estimates and communication. If someone gives you a vague price range or pressures you to sign the same day, that’s a red flag. Good contractors give you detailed, written estimates and give you time to think about it. They should also be clear about how they handle permits, inspections, and what happens if unexpected issues come up during the job.
Finally, trust your gut on communication. You’re going to be working with this person for weeks, they’re going to be in your home daily, and you need to be able to reach them when you have questions. If they’re hard to get ahold of before you hire them, it’s not going to get better once the job starts. Look for someone who’s responsive, answers your questions directly, and treats you like an adult who can make informed decisions about your own home.
