Bathroom Remodeling in New York is a small wet room fighting the building around it. In the city, the bath is often a tight prewar or postwar room tied to a stack that other apartments share. Upstate, the bath is more often an outside-wall room over a basement, with a window that goes cold and a fan that has to punch through a real attic. Those are different projects. Do not mix the scope.
The drain decides more than the catalog does. If the tub, the shower, and the toilet stay on their present drains, the job is fixtures, waterproofing, and finishes. If you want the toilet across the room, you are moving structure and pipe, and in a city building you may not be allowed to chase that idea through someone else's ceiling. Say whether the layout stays. Say it before you describe tile.
Water already in the room is part of the call. Soft floor at the tub, a fan that recirculates, a window with no exhaust, plaster that has bloomed, a trap that smells. Upstate, an outside wall can sweat all winter if the new shower is not detailed for cold. In the city, the neighbor below will meet any leak you create. A membrane and a fan that actually leaves the building matter in both places, for different reasons.
Say tub, shower, or the whole room. Say whether this is a house you own outright or a unit inside a larger building. Say if the ceiling below is finished and occupied. Have a plain description of what is failing, not a mood board. Access matters: a walk-up stair and a city door are a different path for a tub than a ground-floor door on a detached house.
Pick the wet room you actually have. A stack in a walk-up is not a basement bath under a gable. Winter work upstate has to respect a house that is closed up for months. City work has to respect the people under you. Bathroom Remodeling follows those limits. Call the number on this page.
