NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Manorville’s housing stock is primarily from the 1980s. That means the bathroom you’re renovating has been living with original tile, aging plumbing, and waterproofing that was never designed to last this long. When you finally pull the trigger on a remodel, what you want is a finished space that works not a project that stalls because something unexpected showed up behind the drywall.
The homes in this area, especially those on larger wooded lots near the Pine Barrens, deal with real moisture exposure. Humidity, seasonal storms, and the kind of slow water intrusion that builds up over decades it all ends up in your walls. A bathroom renovation done right here means addressing what’s actually there, not just what’s visible on the surface. That’s the difference between a remodel that lasts and one that needs to be redone in five years.
And for the growing number of Manorville residents thinking about aging in place whether you’re in Greenwood Village or on a larger lot off County Road 111 a bathroom that functions safely for the long term is just as important as one that looks good. Walk-in showers, comfort-height fixtures, and smart layouts aren’t a compromise. They’re what a well-designed bathroom looks like when it’s built for your actual life.
We’re based in Bohemia, NY a few miles west on the LIE, deep in Suffolk County. We’re not a lead-gen site connecting you to whoever’s available. We’re a real team that pulls permits through the Town of Brookhaven Building Division, knows what 1980s construction looks like from the inside, and handles asbestos, lead, and mold in-house when we find it which, in Manorville homes of this age, happens more than people expect.
Over 5,000 completed projects across New York State. That number matters because it means we’ve been in enough walls, under enough floors, and through enough surprises to know how to handle yours without shutting down the job. We’re licensed for the environmental side of renovation not just the finish work and that changes everything when a Manorville bathroom opens up and shows you what’s been sitting behind the tile since 1987.
We operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year. That’s not a tagline it’s how we’re built.
It starts with a walkthrough of your existing bathroom. We look at what you want, what the space actually allows, and what the structure behind the walls might be dealing with. In Manorville, that last part matters. Homes built in the 1980s often have cast iron drain lines, original electrical panels that weren’t designed for modern bathroom loads, and tile adhesives that may contain materials requiring licensed removal. We assess all of it upfront so the estimate you get reflects the real job not an optimistic version of it.
From there, we handle permitting through the Town of Brookhaven Building Division. Any plumbing relocation, electrical work, or structural change requires a permit in Brookhaven, and skipping that step creates real problems when you go to sell a home worth $600,000 or more. We manage that process as part of the job, not as an add-on.
Demolition, hazardous material handling if needed, rough work, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, cabinetry, and final inspection it’s all one team, one contract, and one point of contact. You don’t coordinate between a plumber, a tile setter, and a separate abatement crew. We run the whole project, and we don’t hand it off.

A full bathroom renovation with us covers the complete scope demolition, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tile work, vanity and fixture installation, custom cabinetry, lighting, ventilation, and all finish work through final inspection. If your home is on a private septic system, which applies to a significant number of properties on the larger lots in Manorville, our team accounts for that in how we approach plumbing modifications. It’s not something every remodeling company thinks about, but it matters here.
If demolition uncovers mold, asbestos floor tile, or lead paint all documented realities in Suffolk County homes from this era we don’t stop the job and bring in a third party. Our crew is licensed for asbestos abatement, lead abatement, and mold remediation. That means your timeline stays intact and your budget doesn’t blow up because of a discovery that should have been anticipated.
For homeowners whose bathroom remodel was triggered by a water damage event a burst pipe during a nor’easter, slow leak damage, or storm-related flooding we also handle the insurance side directly. We document the damage, work with your carrier, and bill them appropriately so you’re not managing two separate processes at once. Whether you’re starting from scratch or starting from a loss, the scope of what we do covers the full picture.
If your remodel involves moving plumbing, updating electrical, or making any structural changes, yes you need a permit from the Town of Brookhaven Building Division. Manorville falls primarily within Brookhaven’s jurisdiction, and the building department requires permits for anything beyond purely cosmetic work like painting or swapping a fixture in the same location. The permit process involves submitting plans, having the work inspected at specific stages, and receiving a Certificate of Compliance when the job is complete.
This isn’t a technicality worth skipping. Homes in Manorville are selling in the $590,000 to $650,000 range, and unpermitted work gets flagged during buyer inspections and attorney reviews. It can delay or kill a sale, or force you to remediate the work retroactively at your own expense. We handle the permitting process as part of the project we know what Brookhaven requires, we submit the applications, and we schedule the inspections. You don’t have to manage that separately.
It’s more common than most people expect, especially in Manorville’s 1980s-era homes. Asbestos was used in floor tile, tile adhesive, and pipe insulation well into the mid-1980s. Mold tends to show up behind shower walls and under flooring where original waterproofing has degraded over time and in homes near the Pine Barrens, where humidity and seasonal moisture are part of the environment, that degradation happens faster than it might elsewhere.
Most remodeling contractors are not licensed to handle either. They stop work, call a specialist, and your project sits for weeks while you coordinate between two separate companies and two separate invoices. We hold active licenses for asbestos abatement, lead abatement, and mold remediation. When our crew finds something, we handle it in-house, under the same contract, and keep the project moving. The timeline doesn’t collapse, and you’re not managing a crisis on top of a renovation.
Long Island pricing runs 30 to 50 percent above national averages, so the national figures you’ll find online don’t apply here. For a full bathroom renovation in Suffolk County meaning gut demolition, new plumbing, updated electrical, tile, vanity, shower or tub, and all finish work you’re typically looking at $21,000 to $40,000 for a mid-grade remodel. A higher-end or spa-level renovation with custom tile, frameless glass, and premium fixtures starts around $40,000 and goes up from there. A cosmetic refresh with no plumbing or electrical changes can come in closer to $15,000.
What affects your number most is what’s behind the walls. If your home was built in the 1980s and hasn’t been touched since, there’s a real chance the demo phase reveals something that adds to the scope cast iron plumbing that needs replacement, deteriorated waterproofing, or materials that require licensed removal. Getting an accurate estimate means having someone walk the space and assess the actual conditions, not just quote off a description. That’s where the process starts with us.
A standard full bathroom remodel demo through final inspection typically takes two to four weeks once work begins, assuming no major surprises. The variables that extend that timeline are usually discovered during demolition: unexpected plumbing conditions, electrical that needs to be brought up to code, or materials that require abatement before the next phase can start. In older Manorville homes, those discoveries happen often enough that building a small buffer into your expectations is just realistic planning.
Permitting through the Town of Brookhaven adds time before the project starts, not during it. Plan for two to four weeks on the front end for permit approval, depending on the scope of work and current processing times. If you want your bathroom done before summer and in a community positioned at the Gateway to the Hamptons, summer matters booking in late winter or early spring gives you the best chance of hitting that window. Contractors in this area get busy quickly once the season turns.
Yes, and this is actually one of the more common ways bathroom renovation projects start in Manorville. A pipe bursts during a nor’easter, a slow leak behind the shower wall finally makes itself known, or storm-related water finds its way in through aging exterior details. What starts as a damage repair quickly becomes a renovation conversation once the walls are open and you can see what’s actually there.
We handle both sides of that equation. We do the restoration work water extraction, drying, structural repair and the full renovation that follows. More importantly, we work directly with your insurance carrier. We document the damage the way adjusters need to see it, submit the claim properly, and bill the covered portion directly to the insurance company. You’re not managing a restoration contractor and a remodeling contractor separately, and you’re not trying to figure out what your policy covers on your own. One team, one process, start to finish.
New York State doesn’t issue a statewide general contractor license, which means the burden falls on the homeowner to verify that the contractor they’re hiring is properly licensed at the county level. In Suffolk County, home improvement contractors are required to hold a valid county license. You can ask any contractor for their license number and verify it directly and you should, especially for a project of this size in a home worth what Manorville homes are worth.
Beyond the general contractor license, the work that comes up most often in older Suffolk County homes asbestos removal, lead paint abatement, mold remediation requires separate state-issued environmental licenses. These are not optional, and a contractor who handles those materials without the proper credentials is putting you at legal and financial risk. We hold a Nassau County HIC license (#166281), an NYC DCA HIC license (#2025058-DCA), and a Lead-Based Paint License (LBP-F122209-1), along with active environmental certifications. Those numbers are specific, verifiable, and publicly documented not a general claim of being fully licensed.
