Bathrooms and kitchens — always the priciest, and here, even more so. Old brownstones. Co-op or condo approvals. Layouts that don’t cooperate. Often, the wiring and pipes are decades behind and need replacing before work can even start. Bathrooms in Park Slope? You might squeeze it in at $16,000 if you keep it basic. Go over $35,000 easily with designer finishes, luxury fixtures, and top-tier trades.

Choose one who’s done plenty of Brooklyn co-op and condo projects. They’ll know the drill: noise limits, elevator bookings, strict work schedules. The wrong contractor learns these rules on your time — and your dime. Zicklin Contracting has navigated dozens of these jobs and understands how to keep the process smooth from permits to punch list.

Brooklyn addresses always come with a hidden premium. In Park Slope, you might pay extra for delivery restrictions, after-hours clean-up, or delays when the only elevator is busy — or when stairs are your only option. Then add the usual material and design costs. Logistics alone can eat into your budget before the first wall is touched.

Skip generic design feeds. Study NYC-specific projects — especially ones done in older brownstones and apartments. A winning Park Slope look blends simple, timeless elements: neutral shades, streamlined lighting, and fixtures that feel intentional, not overdone. Works just as well in a historic townhouse as in a modern condo.
