Woodside bathroom remodeling

Most Woodside bathrooms sit inside attached or semi-detached homes on smaller lots, so the footprint rarely changes. The win comes from making a 5-by-7 or hall bath feel larger: a curbless or low-curb shower, a wall-hung vanity, recessed niches, and better lighting. Because units in 2-3 family houses are frequently stacked, we map existing waste and vent lines before moving a toilet or relocating a shower drain, since rerouting through a downstairs ceiling adds real cost.

Approvals depend on who owns the unit. In an owner-occupied 1-2 family home, a like-for-like fixture swap is straightforward, but moving plumbing or altering the wet-area layout usually means a licensed plumber pulling a DOB plumbing permit and an electrician handling GFCI and exhaust work. In a co-op or condo, the building or board typically requires an alteration agreement, proof of insurance, and an approved scope before any tile comes down, and they often dictate work hours and water-shutoff windows.

Our process starts with measuring the actual layout, confirming what is behind the walls, and pricing the real scope rather than a guess. We sequence demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspections where required, waterproofing, tile, then vanity and fixtures, so each trade signs off before the next covers it up.
