It’s never just one thing. Tile choice. Waterproofing. Fixtures. Moving walls or plumbing. Even the tiniest bathroom can turn into a puzzle once electrical or plumbing updates get involved. In this particular project, we kept the look clean, the fixtures smart—adding both function and value without overcomplicating it.

Don’t touch the layout unless you have to. Spend on statement pieces where they’ll be noticed—like one standout tile wall or bold fixtures. Here, porcelain tiles mimicked marble, and matte black faucets gave a luxe feel… without the luxury price tag.

Go local. Go experienced. Zicklin Contracting has 30+ years in Brooklyn. No subcontracted labor. Fully licensed. Fully insured. We ran every part of this remodel ourselves—demolition through the last faucet tightened—on schedule.

Cosmetic updates? A week or two. A full gut job like this? More like three to four weeks. Tile setting, fixture deliveries, inspections—they don’t rush, even when you want them to.

Start with function. Then layer in style. In this project, a floating vanity, sleek fixtures, and neutral tile kept everything bright, open, and modern—without losing that everyday usability.
