Bathroom costs here are impacted by building type, materials, and labor. Co-op or condo? That adds filing and building approvals. Basic bathroom remodels in this area start around $16,000 and can go up to $35,000 depending on custom fixtures, tilework, layout changes, or upgrades to plumbing and electrical.

Stick to the original layout, go for prefabricated vanities instead of fully custom, and opt for mid-range tiles and fixtures. Labor is a big portion of any job in Brooklyn, so make sure you hire a licensed contractor who knows how to work efficiently and avoid change orders.

Ask for local references and proof of insurance, and make sure your contractor is familiar with NYC permitting. Look for someone who provides a clear contract and realistic timeline. Zicklin Contracting offers detailed scopes and a 2-year plumbing warranty with every bathroom project.

We’re seeing a lot of earth-toned tiles, floating vanities, and walk-in showers with matte black or brushed gold fixtures. These give a modern look without going too trendy — perfect for long-term value.
