Bathroom remodeling in Brooklyn
Bathroom remodeling in Brooklyn row houses and apartments, planned around the days the room is out of use.
A bathroom is a small room with every trade in it, in an order that cannot be rearranged. In a row house it is also usually stacked above a bedroom rather than above another bathroom, which changes what a leak costs from an inconvenience to a ceiling.
What is behind the tiling
In houses of this age the common finds are tile fixed to plaster on lath, no waterproofing of any kind because it was not required, and a floor that has taken years of small leaks around the base of the pan.
We take it back to a substrate that can be waterproofed, run a membrane across the whole wet area, and tile onto that.

Because the room below is usually living space rather than another wet room, the detail at the pan, the curb and the wall junctions is where the care goes. It is the least visible part of the job and the part that decides whether the ceiling below stays sound.
What drives the cost
Whether fittings stay where they are, whether the floor structure has to be repaired, the tile and how much cutting it needs, and access up the stair.

How long will the bathroom be out of use?
We give you a run of days rather than a project length, set at the visit once the substrate is visible. In a house with one bathroom we front load everything that can be done with the room still working, then take it out in one continuous stretch.
Can you add a bathroom on another floor?
Often, and what decides it is where the waste can run and what fall it can keep inside your own floor structure. It is worth asking at the visit before any layout is drawn.
