Edgemere bathroom remodeling

Most Edgemere bathrooms sit inside detached one- and two-family houses, many of them rebuilt or substantially repaired after Hurricane Sandy. That history shapes the work: ground-floor and below-grade bathrooms often share walls with framing that was opened up once before, so we plan for sound substrate, modern waterproofing, and supply and drain lines that may need updating where older sections meet newer rebuild work.

Approval realities here depend on how the home is held. In owner-occupied one- and two-family houses, a like-for-like bathroom remodel that keeps fixtures in place is usually straightforward, while moving plumbing, adding a fixture, or altering electrical typically calls for DOB plumbing and electrical permits and licensed sign-off. Co-op and condo units add a second layer: board approval, alteration agreements, and building rules on wet-over-dry restrictions, water shut-offs, and contractor insurance all come before any demolition. Because Edgemere sits in a FEMA flood zone, we also confirm that work touching lower-level bathrooms respects flood-resistant material requirements.

Our process starts with a walkthrough to confirm the layout, check the condition of the subfloor and wall cavities, and map existing plumbing and electrical. From there we sequence demolition, rough-in, waterproofing, tile, and fixture set so each trade has clean, inspected work to build on, with permits and inspections coordinated where the scope requires them.
