BATHROOM RENOVATION CONTRACTORS IN NEW YORK CITY

Interior Design Services

Bathroom design naturally encompasses both aesthetics and functionality. Storage is important to every bathroom, but particularly so in New York’s small spaces. Optimizing storage is always top of mind in our designs. Other major changes we consider when renovating bathrooms include; how to make the space flow better, rearranging fixtures, replacing tubs with walk-in showers, and adding washer/dryer rooms to nearby linen closets or adjacent spaces – a common add-on when renovating bathrooms as plumbing is involved in both projects.

MATERIAL SELECTION + PROCUREMENT

The most hands-on aspect of any bathroom renovation is finding materials to bring your chosen interior design style to life. That entails paint color, shower style, tile choices, fixtures, vanity, and more. As a full-service design-build firm we take on the design, sourcing, and procurement of every permanent fixture in your home.

Plus, Gallery is brand-agnostic and vendor-agnostic, meaning we’re not limited in any way with our material selections. Some firms or contractors sell their own materials or have relationships with particular vendors, but our commitment is to our clients. We’ll procure from any vendor, whether international or local. This quality makes our ability to design for both taste and budget fairly flexible.

• Tile: From natural stone to subway to penny tiles, we can install the ideal tile to match your vision. If you’re unsure which route to go, our design experts will help you choose an option that will bring the most out of your space. Our extensive experience in bathroom remodels means we are able to easily accommodate all manner of styles and finishes.
• Vanities: In a bathroom remodel, the vanity is often the focal point of the space and central to a redesign. A well-placed vanity is important to maximize space in a bathroom, improve the traffic pattern, and create a seamless flow. The aesthetic is key as well. Whether your preferred style requires a sleek contemporary look, a retro mid-century modern appearance, or anything in between, we’ll find the perfect vanity for you.
• Countertops: Updating the vanity countertops is another vital factor in bathroom renovations. We always consider both durability and style when selecting the materials for your new bathroom countertops. From the stain-resistant, long-lasting beauty of quartz to nonporous solid-surface materials, we’ll find the ideal countertops to match your new bathroom’s aesthetic.

Design Renders

After materials have been sourced, we create life-like digital renderings of the renovated bathroom. This includes every aspect of the design, from flooring to fixtures, even showing how renovated bathrooms will look under different lighting settings. These high-end renderings provide a visual accompaniment to the blueprint that guides construction and helps clients tweak final design decisions like paint color or fixture height. The previous image is actually a render from our renovation at 220 Riverside Blvd, while the following image is from the completed project.

More Streamlined Than Traditional General Contractors

While searching ‘general contractors in Manhattan’ may be the first route that comes to mind when renovating in NYC, this age-old path to your dream home is not always the straightest. Hiring a traditional design-bid-build general contractor usually requires additional design support you must source and manage yourself, plus complicated permit and approval work most homeowners are unfamiliar with.

More Control And Lower Cost Than Independent Architects

On the opposite end of the spectrum is an independent architect. Hiring an independent architect may result in less work for the client, but this route can also become a burdensome partnership. Since independent architects often act with their own interests in mind, clients get very little input in the design process and wind up paying exorbitant material costs for interior design that may not even suit their style. Plus, since independent architects outsource the construction, you’re often not seeing the full scope of costs until after designs are completed - which could take up to six months in some circumstances.

Design-Build, The Ideal Approach To Bathroom Renovations In NYC

Working with a design-build general contractor in Manhattan is the closest clients get to their initial expectations when renovating in NYC. From the rapport and custom-first approach to the cost and timeline, design-build renovations are specifically meant to manage expectations by delivering a system that delivers them up front and executes every time. Benefits of design-build include: 

• Streamlined Communication: Multiple relationships become one with design-build, making Manhattan renovations instantly easier for busy clients - who can now manage updates with one person instead of multiple.
• Welcomed Design Input: This two-way relationship also means clients can have as much or little design input as they prefer, building directly from their mood boards or partnering with their dedicated interior designer for a reinvigorated look fit for their Manhattan surroundings.

• Faster Project Completion: Not only are there less middle-men for clients to deal with in design-build renovations, all needed components being under one roof means every party is working in tandem towards the same goal from day one. This leads to proactive solutions earlier in the process, faster permitting and approvals, quicker response times between parties in pivotal points of the renovation, and ultimately a shorter delivery time for clients. After all, in Manhattan, there’s no time to waste.
• Proactive Risk Management: The design-build umbrella of services not only expedites the move-in date, but having all needed services working in tandem early on in the process results in proactive problem solving and less change orders mid-way through the renovation. Without having these preliminary checks and balances in-house, details may fall through the cracks and issues common in older buildings may rear their ugly heads (IE: insufficient electrical capacity, hidden asbestos, outdated cloth wiring, etc).

• Early Knowledge Of Costs: With all resources accounted for upfront, providing all-inclusive pricing for your full renovation is one of the most convenient benefits of design-build. This is especially beneficial considering most other methods of renovating in Manhattan operate with staggered pricing, which can quickly become difficult to manage as the project proceeds.
