Bathroom Renovation in Great Neck, NY

Nassau County Building Department requires a permit for any project involving plumbing relocation, electrical upgrades, or structural changes (moving a wall, enlarging the bathroom footprint). Cosmetic refreshes — tile only, vanity swap, fixture replacement with no pipe moves — typically don't need one. We pull the permit on your behalf, coordinate all inspections, and deliver a closed permit card at job completion. This matters for your homeowner's insurance and for resale.

Our current backlog runs 6–10 weeks from contract signing to crew start. If you have a hard deadline — a relative moving in, a home sale, a contractor window — tell us at the estimate stage and we'll do our best to sequence accordingly.

For Great Neck bathrooms we generally recommend large-format porcelain (12×24 or 24×24) for floors and walls in guest and hall baths — it's completely non-porous, never needs sealing, and handles Long Island's humidity swings without issue. In master baths where clients want natural stone (Calacatta marble, Statuario, Thassos), we use a penetrating impregnating sealer on day one and provide a written re-seal schedule. Honed marble is currently very popular for its matte warmth; it's slightly more porous than polished, so we apply a second coat before grout and seal again at 60 days. The key in any Long Island bathroom: a properly sized humidity-sensing exhaust fan that runs until moisture clears, not just a timer.

Great Neck proper, Great Neck Estates, and Kings Point each have their own building departments with slightly different submission preferences — one prefers digital, one wants paper sets, and one expects the plumber present at rough inspection. We've navigated all three. As a rule, budget 7–14 days from permit application to first inspection clearance for Great Neck village projects. If your home is in unincorporated Nassau, it's handled directly by the Nassau County Department of Public Works and typically runs 5–10 days. We handle all filings and follow up on your behalf.

A full master bath gut-and-rebuild in Great Neck — double vanity, separate walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, heated floor, and mid-grade stone — typically runs $38,000–$65,000. Luxury builds with custom marble, steam shower, heated towel bars, and radiant floor can exceed $80,000 on large footprints. A focused master refresh (new vanity, tile surround, fixtures, no plumbing relocation) lands in the $12,000–$22,000 range. We provide a firm, itemized written estimate — no vague ballpark followed by change orders.

Yes — this is one of our most common Great Neck projects. Most postwar Great Neck homes have a walk-in or linen closet directly adjacent to the master bath. Taking 30–50 square feet from that closet space can turn a functional master bath into a genuine spa-scale suite. The project involves removing the shared wall (non-structural in most cases, though we verify), moving the drain point if the shower or tub shifts, and matching the existing floor structure. Nassau County permit is required; we file it as part of the standard process. Typical scope runs $45,000–$75,000 depending on new footprint and finish level.

Island Bath Studio offers financing through GreenSky and Hearth — both provide quick approvals (often same-day) for qualified applicants. Options include 0% APR for 12 months, 6.99% for 60 months, and longer-term plans up to 120 months for larger projects. Checking your rate is a soft pull and doesn't affect your credit score. Most Great Neck clients use financing for master bath renovations in the $35,000–$70,000 range where a payment plan makes more sense than tying up cash. We walk through options at the estimate appointment.
