Every Permit Secured Before Work Begins

Many contractors start demolition first and deal with permits later — or not at all. We take the opposite approach. For every complex bathroom renovation, we obtain all required NYC Department of Buildings permits and approvals before any work starts. This protects you from violations, fines, and problems when you sell.

Bathroom Renovation FAQ

Answers to the questions NYC homeowners ask us most about bathroom remodeling.

If your renovation involves plumbing relocation, new drain lines, electrical work, or structural changes, yes — NYC DOB permits are required. Cosmetic updates like replacing a vanity or re-tiling typically don't require permits. We assess this during your free consultation and handle the entire permit process for you. We always obtain all permits before starting any complex work.
Costs vary by scope. A cosmetic refresh typically runs $8,000–$15,000. A mid-range remodel with new tile, tub or shower, and fixture upgrades runs $18,000–$35,000. A full gut renovation with plumbing relocation and premium finishes ranges from $35,000–$65,000+. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.
A cosmetic refresh takes 1–2 weeks. A mid-range remodel typically takes 3–4 weeks. A full gut renovation runs 4–8 weeks depending on scope and material lead times. Permit approval can add 2–4 weeks at the start, but we begin the filing process as soon as you sign the contract to minimize wait time.
Some contractors skip permits to save time or avoid the paperwork. But unpermitted work can result in DOB violations, fines, failed inspections, and serious problems when you try to sell or refinance your home. Insurance claims can also be denied for unpermitted work. We believe doing it right the first time protects both you and us — that's why we secure every required permit before starting.
Absolutely — tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most popular requests. We handle the plumbing modifications, proper waterproofing, new drain installation, and custom tile work. Options include curbless (zero-entry) showers, glass enclosures, built-in niches, and rain showerheads. We'll walk you through the options during your consultation.
Waterproofing is one of the most critical parts of any bathroom renovation, and we never cut corners on it. We use Schluter Kerdi membrane, liquid-applied barriers, and proper cement board substrate to ensure your shower and wet areas are fully protected against leaks and moisture damage for decades.
