Showers receive full waterproofing, substrates are flattened before tile installation, and fixtures are installed to manufacturer specifications with proper shutoffs. At handover you receive a blue-tape walkthrough, completed punch-list and written 2-year workmanship warranty.
Materials and finishes we install
We work with durable, code-compliant materials selected for NYC apartments, condos and houses:
- Tile and stone: porcelain or ceramic tile, mosaics for shower pans, large-format panels, thresholds and shelves
- Shower systems: waterproofing membranes, linear or point drains and framed or frameless glass doors
- Plumbing fixtures: pressure-balanced or thermostatic valves, water-saving toilets and quality faucets
- Ventilation and lighting: quiet exhaust fans ducted outside where allowed, recessed downlights and vanity lighting
- Heated floors: electric floor-warming mats with dedicated controls when permitted
- Vanities and storage: floating or standard vanities, medicine cabinets, niches, towel bars and hooks
Small bathrooms in NYC apartments
In small NYC bathrooms we focus on clearances and storage. Wall-hung fixtures, shallow vanities, mirrored cabinets, niches and sliding glass panels help free up space. Large-format wall tile and continuous floor lines make tight rooms feel more open. Where building rules allow, we adjust door swings or use pocket doors to improve movement.
