Bathroom Remodels in NYC: What to Expect in 2025
Renovating a bathroom is a smart way to add value, comfort, and style to your home, but it’s also more complex than most people expect. Between building regulations, limited space, and luxury-level expectations, there’s a lot that goes into getting it right. At Infinity Premier Contracting, we specialize in high-end renovations across NYC, and here’s what you need to know about what really drives the cost and process of a bathroom renovation in New York City.
1. Planning & Design
Every renovation starts with thoughtful planning. Whether you already have a vision or need help shaping one, we’ll work with you (and your designer, if applicable) to create a layout that makes the most of your space. Material selection, fixture sourcing, and finish choices happen here, and those decisions significantly impact both the budget and the timeline.
2. Building Approvals & Permits
In New York City, no renovation can move forward without the proper approvals. Most condos and co-ops require detailed architectural plans, contractor insurance documents, and formal board approval. Depending on the scope, you may also need permits from the NYC Department of Buildings. We manage the entire process on your behalf, ensuring full compliance with all local codes and building requirements.
3. Demolition & Prep Work
Once approvals are in place, we begin demolition. This phase includes protecting common areas, coordinating debris removal, and preparing the space for new construction. In NYC buildings, we often find outdated plumbing or electrical systems that need to be brought up to code, which can influence the scope and budget.
4. Construction & Installation
Here’s where your new bathroom comes to life. From custom tilework to high-end vanities, lighting, and plumbing fixtures, every element is installed with precision and attention to detail. We coordinate all trades, manage inspections, and ensure everything meets both building requirements and your personal standards.
5. Final Walkthrough & Completion
After all installations are complete, we handle the finishing touches: paint, sealing, hardware, and then conducting a detailed walkthrough with you. We don’t consider the job done until every last detail is dialed in.
Timeline: How Long Does It Take?
A full bathroom renovation in NYC typically takes 6 to 8 weeks of active construction. When factoring in design, approvals, and permitting, the total timeline is usually 8 to 10 weeks, depending on your building and the complexity of the project.
How Much Does it Cost to Renovate a Bathroom in NYC?
Full bathroom renovation costs in New York City generally range from $30,000 to $60,000+. Although larger 4 or 5 piece bathrooms and/or higher end, customized luxury finishes can influence and raise this price range. Typical factors that influence cost include:
Size and layout of the space
Level of finishes and materials
Custom millwork or built-ins
Plumbing or electrical upgrades
Building-specific logistical challenges
We sometimes hear, “Why would I pay more when I can find someone cheaper?” It’s a fair question, and here’s the honest answer:
A lower price often comes at the cost of:
Incomplete planning or poor communication
Building violations or permit issues
Delays due to inexperience with NYC renovation rules
Improper waterproofing or installation
Cheap materials that don’t last
