Bathroom renovation and remodeling in Manhattan
From new fixtures and tile to a full gut with new waterproofing and plumbing, built for Manhattan co-ops, condos and brownstones and the rules that come with them.
5.0 from 97 Google reviewsIn short
The part of a New York bathroom renovation you never see matters most: the waterproofing under the tile, because a leak here becomes the neighbor’s ceiling. MCG Corp opens the floor, installs a continuous membrane, and coordinates any plumbing changes through licensed trades and the building.
Bathroom renovation with MCG Corp
Small bathrooms are the norm in New York, and they reward careful planning: a recessed medicine cabinet, a niche in the shower wall, a wall-hung vanity that makes the floor read larger. We build those details in rather than adding them later.
If the bathroom is staying where it is, a renovation is usually straightforward. If you want to move it, or add a second one, the building’s wet-over-dry rules decide what is possible, and we check that first.
What this covers
- Full bathroom gut renovations
- Waterproofing membranes and new shower pans
- Tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in showers
- Tile floors and walls, niches and benches
- Vanities, toilets, fixtures and lighting
- Plumbing changes by licensed master plumbers
What New York adds to the job
Waterproofing you can trust
A continuous membrane under the floor and up the shower walls is what protects the apartment below. It is not the place to save money, and we do not.
Old pipes behind old walls
Prewar buildings often hide galvanized or cast-iron lines. When the wall is open we show you what is there and what it would cost to replace while it is accessible.
Board and building rules
Bathrooms that move or expand are subject to the same wet-over-dry limits as kitchens. Renovations in place rarely are.

What clients wrote on Google
5.0 from 97 Google reviewsVery impressed with MCG. They remodeled my bathroom and did a phenomenal job in record time. Billy was always available and eager to assist with any questions. I would rate their services as 10 out of 10.
Super reliable, professional, superb judgement, honest assessments and charges, exquisite work, easy to contact and communicate with. They completely renovated one bathroom and finished another. I couldn't be more pleased. I only wish I found them earlier.
MCG renovated my bathroom on the Upper West Side, 97th St in Manhattan. We are pleased with their service. They are honest and a very hardworking crew.
Bathroom renovation questions
Do I need a permit to renovate my bathroom in NYC?
Replacing fixtures and tile without moving plumbing generally does not need a DOB filing. Moving or adding fixtures, which changes the plumbing, generally does, and that work is done and filed by a licensed master plumber. Your building will want to approve the scope either way.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A full bathroom gut is usually a few weeks of work once approvals are in place. Tile work and inspections set the pace; we schedule them back to back.
Can you renovate a bathroom while we live in the apartment?
Yes, if there is a second bathroom or you can arrange access to one. We seal the work area and clean daily.
