In Nassau County, permits are required for any bathroom renovation that involves moving plumbing drain lines or supply lines, adding or modifying electrical circuits, or making structural changes to walls or the floor system. A cosmetic renovation that replaces tile, fixtures, and a vanity in the same location without moving plumbing or electrical typically does not require a permit. General Modernizer handles all permit applications and coordinates all required inspections with the Nassau County Department of Buildings or the relevant municipal building department. We never recommend skipping permits when they are required -- unpermitted work creates problems when selling your home, may void your homeowner's insurance, and can result in fines. During the free in-home consultation, we advise you on whether your specific project requires a permit.

The bathroom upgrades that add the most resale value in Nassau County include converting a tub-shower combination to a custom walk-in shower, replacing a single vanity with a double vanity in a master bathroom, installing large-format porcelain tile on floors and walls, upgrading to a frameless glass shower enclosure, and adding a comfort-height toilet. According to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value report, a mid-range bathroom remodel in the New York metropolitan area recoups approximately 60 to 70 percent of its cost at resale. A bathroom that looks dated is one of the top reasons buyers discount an offer or walk away from a home in Nassau County. General Modernizer can advise you on the highest-value upgrades for your specific home and price point during the free in-home consultation.
