Bathroom remodels in Jackson Heights — done right.

Jackson Heights is a Queens neighborhood of pre-war garden-apartment co-ops in a designated historic district, with homes largely dating to the 1910s–1930s pre-war.

Jackson Heights bathrooms are often pre-war co-op rooms with thick walls, old risers, original tub alcoves, and historic building rules outside the apartment. Successful remodels respect the stack locations while improving waterproofing, lighting, ventilation, and compact storage.

Because many buildings have neighbors above and below, leak prevention is the first design choice. We use approved membranes, carefully flood-tested pans where required, quiet work methods, protected common areas, documented shutoffs, and fixtures sized for classic garden-apartment proportions. We document every waterproofing layer and access requirement.

Permit note for Jackson Heights: Co-op alteration agreements are expected. DOB plumbing permits may be needed for shower conversions, valve and drain changes, or riser work; LPC review is generally relevant only if exterior vents, windows, or facade penetrations change.
