Your Personal Sanctuary, Perfected

A bathroom renovation is one of the highest-return improvements you can make to your home—and one of the most technically demanding. Behind every beautiful tile wall and custom vanity lies complex waterproofing, precise plumbing, electrical work for heated floors and lighting, and ventilation that prevents moisture damage for decades. Getting it right requires expertise that goes far beyond aesthetics.

Lion Construction Management specializes in luxury residential bathroom remodels across NYC and Long Island. From intimate powder rooms to expansive primary bathrooms with freestanding soaking tubs, walk-in showers with frameless glass, heated marble floors, and custom walnut vanities, we execute every detail with the precision these high-touch spaces demand. Our waterproofing protocols exceed code requirements because bathroom failures are costly—we build them right the first time.

We manage the full scope—demolition, structural assessment, plumbing rough-in, electrical for lighting and heated floors, waterproof membrane installation, tile setting, vanity and fixture installation, glass enclosures, and all finish work. Our team coordinates with your designer on material selections and handles all permitting and building coordination.

What's Included

Custom Vanities & Cabinetry

Bespoke bathroom vanities in natural wood, painted finishes, or floating designs—with integrated sinks, soft-close drawers, and storage solutions tailored to your space.

Tile & Stone Installation

Expert installation of marble, porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone—walls, floors, shower surrounds, and niches—with precision cuts, waterproof membranes, and flawless grout lines.

Frameless Glass Enclosures

Custom-measured and installed frameless glass shower enclosures, glass partitions, and shower doors that create an open, luxurious feel.

Plumbing & Fixture Work

Complete plumbing rough-in and finish—rainfall showerheads, body sprays, freestanding tub fillers, undermount sinks, and thermostatic valve systems.

Heated Floors & Lighting

Electric radiant floor heating beneath tile, recessed LED lighting, sconce installation, backlit mirrors, and dimmer controls for ambiance.

Waterproofing & Ventilation

Multi-layer waterproof membrane systems (Schluter, Laticrete) applied to all wet areas, with properly sized exhaust ventilation to prevent moisture damage.

How We Work

1

Site Assessment & Design

We evaluate existing plumbing locations, structural conditions, and ventilation before finalizing the design. This prevents costly surprises during demolition and ensures your layout is feasible.

2

Material Procurement

We coordinate ordering of tile, stone, vanities, fixtures, glass, and hardware—managing lead times on custom items and ensuring everything arrives before it's needed on site.

3

Construction & Waterproofing

Careful demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, waterproof membrane application and flood testing, tile installation, vanity mounting, and glass enclosure fitting.

4

Fixture Install & Completion

Final plumbing connections, mirror and accessory mounting, grout sealing, caulking, cleaning, and a walkthrough to verify every detail meets your standards.

Why a Professional Bathroom Remodel Matters

Bathrooms involve more building systems per square foot than any other room in your home — water supply, drain/waste/vent, electrical (often in wet locations requiring GFCI protection), waterproofing, ventilation, and structural support for heavy fixtures like cast-iron tubs and stone vanities. A poorly executed bathroom remodel leads to water damage, mold, and expensive repairs. Lion Construction Management approaches every bathroom renovation as a systems project. We start with proper waterproofing — Kerdi membranes, liquid-applied barriers, proper pan liners — before any tile goes on a wall. Our plumbers work with our tile setters to ensure shower valves, drain locations, and fixture rough-ins are exactly where they need to be. The result is a bathroom that not only looks stunning but is engineered to perform for years without leaks, cracks, or failures.

Residential Bathroom Remodeling, Answered

Bathroom renovations in NYC typically range from $35,000 for a basic update to $100,000+ for a full luxury primary bathroom with premium marble, custom vanity, heated floors, and frameless glass. Factors include bathroom size, material selections, plumbing scope, and building requirements. Call (917) 575-1306 for a detailed estimate.

A standard bathroom renovation takes 6–10 weeks. Timeline depends on scope—a cosmetic refresh may take 4 weeks, while a full gut with layout changes takes 8–12 weeks. Custom tile and vanity lead times can add 4–6 weeks to the pre-construction phase.

Absolutely—waterproofing is one of the most critical aspects of bathroom renovation. We use Schluter or Laticrete waterproof membrane systems on all shower walls, floors, curbs, and niches. Every waterproof installation is flood-tested before tile goes on. This protects your home from leaks and moisture damage for the life of the bathroom.

Yes. Pre-war apartments present unique challenges—cast iron drain lines, limited electrical capacity, plaster walls, and building-specific restrictions. Lion Construction Management has extensive experience working in pre-war buildings across Manhattan and Brooklyn, navigating these challenges while delivering beautiful results.
