Your morning routine shouldn’t feel like navigating an obstacle course. When your bathroom works the way it should, everything changes.
You wake up to a space that feels like yours—not something left behind by previous owners or stuck in a decade you’d rather forget. The lighting actually lets you see what you’re doing. Storage that makes sense. Fixtures that work reliably, every single day.
This isn’t about creating some magazine-perfect showpiece that no one can use. It’s about building a bathroom that fits your life, your schedule, and your standards—without the stress, surprises, or sales pressure that usually comes with renovation projects.
We’ve been handling bathroom remodeling in Smithtown since before it became the latest home improvement trend. That means we’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what homeowners actually need versus what they’re usually sold.
Jaguar Renovations specializes in interior home improvements throughout Suffolk County. We know Smithtown homes—from the historic colonials near Main Street to the contemporary properties by the harbor. Each presents different challenges, and we’ve handled them all.
What sets us apart isn’t flashy marketing or high-pressure sales tactics. It’s straightforward work, honest pricing, and the kind of craftsmanship that holds up over time. Excellence built in, extra cost left out.
First, we come take a look at what you’re working with. Every Smithtown home is different, and your bathroom remodel should reflect that reality—not some cookie-cutter approach.
We’ll walk through your space, listen to what’s not working, and discuss what you actually want to accomplish. No sales pitch, no pressure to decide on the spot. Just an honest conversation about your project and what it’s going to take to get it done right.
Then we put together a clear plan with transparent pricing. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting, what it costs, and how long it’s going to take. From there, our team handles everything—permits, materials, installation, cleanup. You get updates along the way, but you don’t get dragged into every little decision or surprise expense.

Smithtown homeowners deal with specific challenges that contractors from outside the area often miss. The humidity from being near the water means your bathroom needs proper ventilation and moisture control—not just something that looks good for six months.
Many homes here were built decades ago, which means working around older plumbing, electrical systems, and structural quirks that require actual experience to handle properly. We know Suffolk County building codes, local suppliers, and the specific requirements that come with renovating in this area.
Whether you’re updating a master bath in a colonial near the village or creating an accessible bathroom for aging in place, we focus on solutions that make sense for your property, your budget, and your timeline. Quality materials, professional installation, and honest pricing—without the markup and runaround you’ll find elsewhere.
Bathroom remodeling costs in Smithtown typically range from $17,500 to $71,000, depending on the size of your bathroom, the materials you choose, and how extensive the renovation is. A basic refresh with new fixtures, tile, and vanity usually starts around $17,500 for a standard bathroom.
Mid-range remodels that include upgraded materials, better fixtures, and some layout changes generally fall between $30,000 and $50,000. High-end renovations with premium materials, custom work, and significant structural changes can exceed $50,000.
The key is getting an accurate assessment of your specific project. Factors like your home’s age, existing plumbing condition, and local building code requirements all impact the final cost. We provide transparent pricing upfront so you can make informed decisions without surprises.
Most bathroom remodels in Smithtown take between 2-4 weeks, depending on the scope of work and any unexpected issues we encounter with older homes. A straightforward renovation—new fixtures, tile, vanity, and paint—typically takes about 2 weeks.
More complex projects involving layout changes, plumbing relocation, or structural work can extend to 3-4 weeks. Smithtown’s older homes sometimes present challenges like outdated electrical systems or plumbing that needs updating to meet current codes, which can add time to the project.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if anything changes. The goal is to get your bathroom finished efficiently without cutting corners on quality. We also coordinate all permits and inspections required by Suffolk County, so you don’t have to deal with that paperwork.
In Smithtown’s competitive real estate market, bathroom upgrades typically recoup 60-70% of their cost in home value. The most valuable improvements focus on functionality and quality materials rather than trendy features that might look dated in a few years.
Updated vanities with quality countertops, modern fixtures that improve water efficiency, and proper lighting make the biggest impact. For Smithtown’s demographic—with many homeowners approaching or in retirement—accessibility features like grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and curbless showers are increasingly valuable.
Energy-efficient fixtures can reduce utility bills by about 20% annually, which appeals to buyers. Quality tile work, proper ventilation for our humid climate, and storage solutions that reduce clutter also add significant value. The key is choosing upgrades that improve daily function while appealing to future buyers.
Most bathroom renovations in Smithtown require permits, especially if you’re moving plumbing, electrical, or making structural changes. Suffolk County has specific requirements for bathroom remodels, and permits ensure the work meets current building codes and safety standards.
Basic cosmetic updates like painting, new fixtures, or replacing a vanity typically don’t require permits. However, anything involving plumbing relocation, electrical work, or structural modifications will need proper permits and inspections.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with Suffolk County as part of our service. This ensures your project is done legally and safely, protects your investment, and prevents issues if you sell your home later. The permit process usually adds a few days to the timeline but prevents much bigger problems down the road.
Choose a contractor with specific experience in Smithtown and Suffolk County. Local experience matters because older homes here present unique challenges—from dealing with outdated plumbing systems to understanding local building codes and permit requirements.
Look for transparent pricing without hidden fees or high-pressure sales tactics. A reputable contractor will provide detailed estimates, explain what’s included, and give you realistic timelines. We’re fully licensed and insured, with verifiable local references.
Communication is crucial during a bathroom remodel since you’ll be without a functional bathroom for weeks. Choose someone who returns calls, provides regular updates, and handles permits and inspections for you. Most importantly, we understand your goals and budget constraints rather than trying to upsell you on unnecessary upgrades.
Start by clearing out everything from the bathroom and surrounding areas where workers will need access. Remove all personal items, medications, and anything valuable from the renovation zone. This protects your belongings and gives contractors clear workspace.
Plan alternative arrangements since your bathroom will be unusable for 2-4 weeks. If this is your only bathroom, consider staying elsewhere temporarily or arranging to use facilities at nearby family or friends’ homes. For multi-bathroom homes, prepare other bathrooms for increased use.
Clear pathways through your home for material delivery and debris removal. Protect nearby rooms with plastic sheeting if dust is a concern. Discuss parking arrangements with your contractor since we’ll need space for vehicles and material deliveries. Finally, communicate any special scheduling needs or house rules upfront to avoid conflicts during the project.
