NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
A lot of Rocky Point homes started as summer cottages modest, seasonal, built for warm-weather weekends. The bathrooms that came with them were designed for occasional use, not a family running through them every day of the year. When you renovate, you’re not just updating a room. You’re correcting decades of deferred expectations.
What that looks like in practice: a shower that actually fits, ventilation that handles Long Island Sound humidity instead of fighting it, plumbing that doesn’t remind you it’s from 1962 every time you turn on the water. Homes north of Route 25A in Rocky Point, on the slopes heading toward the Sound, deal with moisture conditions that inland communities simply don’t. A bathroom built without that in mind will show it grout cracking, mold forming behind tile, finishes failing faster than they should.
The right renovation fixes all of that. Better waterproofing, proper ventilation, materials selected for coastal conditions rather than a showroom. And when it’s done permitted, inspected, and built to last it adds real, measurable value to a home that’s worth protecting.
We’re a Suffolk County-based contractor headquartered in Bohemia, not driving in from Nassau or the city. We’ve been handling bathroom renovations, restoration work, and hazmat remediation across Long Island for years, with over 5,000 completed projects in New York State. That number matters because Rocky Point homes have a habit of revealing surprises mid-demolition.
We hold asbestos abatement licenses, EPA lead-based paint certification, and mold remediation credentials on top of our standard remodeling licenses. In a community where roughly 76% of homes were built before 1980, that’s not a bonus. It’s a baseline requirement. We’re familiar with the Town of Brookhaven’s permit process, their inspection standards, and what it takes to close a project properly with a Certificate of Occupancy in hand.
We operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year. If a nor’easter pushes water into your Rocky Point bathroom at 2am, you’ll reach a real person.
It starts with a walkthrough. We look at the existing layout, the plumbing configuration, the ventilation situation, and the age of the materials we’ll be working with. In Rocky Point, that last part matters more than most people expect. Pre-1980 construction means we go in prepared for asbestos tile, lead paint on trim, corroded galvanized pipes, and subfloor damage from years of slow moisture infiltration. We don’t treat those as surprises we plan for them upfront so your timeline and budget aren’t blown apart when we find something.
Once we have a clear picture, we handle permitting through the Town of Brookhaven before any demolition starts. That means pulling the right permits, scheduling the staged inspections framing, plumbing, electrical and making sure nothing gets buried in the walls before it’s been looked at. Brookhaven enforces this seriously, and skipping it creates real problems when you eventually sell.
From there, we move through demo, hazmat handling if needed, rough work, tile, fixtures, and finish all under one contract, one crew, one point of contact. When we’re done, you get a finished bathroom and a Certificate of Occupancy. Not a handshake and a hope.

A full bathroom remodel with us covers everything from demolition to final inspection layout reconfiguration, plumbing updates, electrical, waterproofing, tile installation, vanity and fixture installation, and ventilation. If the job uncovers asbestos-containing materials or lead paint common in the Cape Cods and converted cottages that make up most of Rocky Point’s housing stock we handle abatement in-house without stopping the project. No waiting on a separate remediation crew. No half-demolished bathroom sitting open for two weeks.
For homeowners dealing with a bathroom that was damaged by a storm, a frozen pipe, or water infiltration through an aging building envelope, we also work directly with insurance carriers. Rocky Point’s North Shore position makes it no stranger to nor’easters and the water damage that follows, and our background in restoration means we know how to document damage, bill insurance, and move straight into renovation without you having to manage two separate companies.
Whether you’re updating a single bathroom in a 1950s ranch, converting a tub to a walk-in shower for aging-in-place, or doing a full gut renovation on a home that’s been in the family for decades the scope gets handled. One team, one timeline, one finished result that’s permitted and built for where you actually live.
Yes if your remodel involves any changes to plumbing, electrical, or the structure of the space, you need a permit through the Town of Brookhaven. Rocky Point falls under Brookhaven’s jurisdiction, and they require staged inspections throughout the project. That means a framing inspection, a plumbing inspection, and an electrical inspection all have to happen before walls close. The final step is a Certificate of Occupancy, which you’ll need to show that the work was done to code.
This isn’t optional, and it’s not something worth skipping to save a few days. Unpermitted work in Brookhaven creates real problems at resale the town won’t issue a CO on a property with open violations, and buyers’ attorneys will catch it. We handle the full permit process for you, from application through final inspection sign-off.
It’s more common in Rocky Point than most people realize. With roughly 76% of homes in the community built before 1980, asbestos-containing floor tile, pipe insulation, and joint compound are standard discoveries during demolition. Lead-based paint on window trim and walls is equally common in pre-1978 construction. For most contractors, finding either one means stopping work and calling a separate licensed remediation company which can add weeks of delay and leave your bathroom torn apart in the meantime.
We hold asbestos abatement licenses and EPA lead-based paint (RRP) certification, so we handle it in-house. The project doesn’t stop. The timeline doesn’t blow up. We remove the materials safely, document everything properly, and keep moving. If you’re in one of the older Cape Cods or converted cottages north of Route 25A in Rocky Point, it’s worth knowing your contractor can handle this before you sign anything.
For a midrange full bathroom renovation in the Long Island area, you’re generally looking at $35,000 to $50,000. That’s higher than the national average, which sits around $26,000, because Long Island labor costs, material costs, and permitting requirements all run above the national baseline. Upscale renovations with custom tile, high-end fixtures, and significant layout changes can push well past that.
In Rocky Point specifically, older homes often add to the cost not because the renovation itself is more complicated, but because there’s a real chance of encountering corroded plumbing, deteriorated subfloor, mold behind tile, or hazardous materials that need to be addressed before the new work goes in. We price your job accounting for the realistic scope upfront so you’re not caught off guard mid-project.
It depends on what caused the damage. If your bathroom needs renovation because of water damage from a burst pipe, a roof leak, storm infiltration, or flooding and those events are covered under your policy then yes, a portion of the work may be claimable. Rocky Point’s nor’easter exposure and the documented freeze risk in older, under-insulated homes mean this situation comes up regularly.
We have a restoration background, which means we know how to document damage for insurance purposes and work directly with carriers. We can help you understand what’s claimable, handle the documentation, and transition straight from the damage assessment into the renovation all without you managing two separate companies or two separate timelines. If your remodel is being triggered by a damage event, that’s worth a conversation before you do anything else.
A standard full bathroom remodel runs anywhere from three to six weeks once work begins, depending on scope, materials lead time, and what’s found during demolition. Permitting through the Town of Brookhaven adds time on the front end plan for that before demolition starts, not after. Staged inspections also add checkpoints throughout the project, which is normal and required, but it does mean the timeline has built-in pauses.
For Rocky Point homeowners in a single-bathroom home which describes a lot of the smaller Cape Cods and cottages in this community that timeline is real and worth planning around. We’re direct about scheduling from the start: what the realistic timeline looks like, where the inspection holds are, and what could extend it. If we find something unexpected during demo, you hear about it immediately not after the fact. The goal is a finished bathroom on a schedule you agreed to, not a moving target.
Yes and we take it seriously. A large portion of Rocky Point’s housing stock started as seasonal summer cottages, built from the 1920s through the 1950s for warm-weather use and later converted to year-round residences. Those homes have specific characteristics: smaller footprints, plumbing that was never designed for daily family use, minimal insulation, and construction methods that predate the materials and standards most contractors are used to working with.
We’re based in Suffolk County, we’re familiar with the Town of Brookhaven’s permitting and inspection process, and we’ve worked extensively across Long Island’s North Shore housing stock. We know what these homes tend to hide and how to handle it without derailing the project. If you’re in one of those older homes near North Shore Beach or anywhere north of Route 25A and you’ve been putting off a bathroom renovation because you’re not sure what you’ll find that’s exactly the kind of job we’re built for.
