Complete Bathroom Remodels in Brooklyn & NYC

You know that feeling when you step into a worn-out bathroom? Cold tiles, low water pressure, outdated fixtures—it's the first thing that makes you wonder why you haven't fixed it yet. Then you think about the contractors, the endless calls, the project that never seems to finish on time.

That's where we come in.

At Greenpoint Construction, we've been renovating bathrooms across Brooklyn and the New York Metropolitan area since 2008. We're not the company that disappears after a quote. We're the team that shows up on time, communicates honestly about what needs to happen, and delivers bathrooms that actually work—not just look good in photos.

A full bathroom remodel is one of those projects that feels massive—because it is. You're replacing plumbing, reconfiguring layout, fixing structural issues, upgrading fixtures, and reimagining how the space actually feels. For apartments in Brooklyn or older homes across the metro area, it's even more complex because you're working with limited space and aging infrastructure.

We handle it end-to-end. Demolition, plumbing, electrical, tile work, fixture installation, and the final details that make the difference.

Bathroom Layout & Design The layout of your bathroom matters more than most people realize. We work with you to understand how you actually use the space—morning routine, guests, accessibility needs—and design around that reality, not just square footage. In Brooklyn apartments where space is tight, we specialize in making small bathrooms function beautifully. We've done galley-style bathrooms, corner setups, and creative renovations where the toilet, sink, and shower weren't originally designed to live peacefully together.

Plumbing & Structural Old Brooklyn buildings often have cast-iron pipes that are corroding, water pressure issues, or structural concerns you won't know about until we start. We do a full assessment before quoting, so you understand what we're dealing with. We'll tell you if we can work around a structural wall or if it needs reinforcement. No surprises.

Tile & Waterproofing Bad waterproofing is how you end up with mold and structural damage. We use modern waterproofing membranes and methods—not the tile-and-pray approach. Tile gets chosen not just for looks but for durability and maintenance. We help you pick finishes that actually work in a busy household.

Fixtures & Finishes From basic builder-grade updates to luxury spa-like bathrooms, we work with your budget. We have relationships with suppliers across Brooklyn and Manhattan, so we can source quality fixtures and negotiate pricing better than you could alone. We also handle the small details—mirror installation, shelving, lighting, paint finishes—that make the space feel complete.

Bathroom Renovation FAQs - Brooklyn & NYC

How long does a bathroom renovation typically take?

A full bathroom renovation in the Brooklyn/NYC area typically takes 3-6 weeks, depending on scope and any unexpected issues discovered during demolition. A half-bath or simple renovation might be 2-3 weeks. Larger projects involving plumbing reconfiguration or structural work can take 2-3 months. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in New York?

Yes. Any work involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes requires a permit in New York City. Bathroom renovations almost always involve plumbing. We handle all permitting and inspections—it's part of what we do. Permits protect you; they ensure work is done to code.

Can you renovate a bathroom in an older Brooklyn building?

Yes. We specialize in this. Older buildings have unique challenges—asbestos, lead paint, settling, outdated plumbing, space constraints—but they're entirely renovatable. We assess, plan carefully, and execute with the building's age and condition in mind.

What if my contractor finds problems during demolition?

This happens. We do our best to identify issues before we start, but sometimes you don't know what's hidden behind walls until you look. We'll assess the problem, explain your options, provide pricing for addressing it, and you decide. We don't proceed without your approval and understanding of the cost.

Can you work in a small bathroom/apartment?

Absolutely. Small bathrooms are a Brooklyn specialty. We've renovated bathrooms in apartments where the toilet, sink, and shower literally had to coexist within 40 square feet. It requires clever design and careful execution, but it's entirely doable.

Do you handle the design or should I hire a designer?

We can work either way. If you have a clear vision, we execute it. If you want design input, we'll provide recommendations based on functionality, aesthetics, and your budget. Many clients benefit from a consultation with a designer for layout and finishes, and then we bring it to life. We can recommend designers we've worked with if that would help.

How do I know you're actually licensed and insured?

We're fully licensed, bonded, and insured in New York State. We provide proof of insurance before any work begins. You can verify our license with the New York State Department of Consumer Affairs. These aren't negotiable for us—they protect you and your home.

What's your warranty on work?

We guarantee our workmanship for one year after project completion. Fixture and material manufacturers provide their own warranties (typically 1-10 years depending on the product). We'll walk you through what's covered and how to file claims if needed.

How much do I need to pay upfront?

Typically 30-50% to order materials and secure our crew schedule, with the balance due upon completion. We're flexible on payment structure depending on project size. We'll discuss this clearly before we begin.

What's your communication process during the project?

Weekly text/email updates. You have my cell phone number. If something comes up, we talk about it immediately—not at the end of the project. We take photos, explain what we're doing, and keep you informed. You shouldn't wonder what's happening.

Can you work around my schedule (living in the space, limited access, etc.)?

Yes. We've worked in occupied apartments, homes where the owners travel, and situations with limited bathroom access. It requires planning, but it's doable. We'll discuss logistics upfront and find a process that works for your life.
