Brooklyn's Bathrooms Have Been Waiting Long Enough

Most primary bathrooms in Brooklyn were built before your grandparents were born. Brownstones in Park Slope, pre-war walk-ups in Williamsburg, co-op apartments in Carroll Gardensthe bones are beautiful, but the bathrooms often tell a different story. Cracked tile, galvanized pipes, a layout that made sense in 1920 and makes no sense now. That’s not a cosmetic problem. It’s a full renovation waiting to happen.

Old Buildings Need Contractors Who Know Them

Renovating a primary bathroom in a Brooklyn brownstone or pre-war walk-up is not the same as renovating a bathroom in new construction. The walls are thicker. The pipes are older. The stairwells are narrow. And if you’re in a co-op, you have a board approval process on top of everything else. We’ve done this work in fourth-floor walk-ups in the middle of summer. We know what it takes to move materials through a building that wasn’t designed for it, work around aging infrastructure without creating new problems, and still deliver a finished bathroom that looks like it belongs in a luxury hotel not a renovation project. Brooklyn’s pre-war housing stock demands a contractor who has actually worked in it. We have.
