Every choice leaves a mark on your budget. Change the plumbing layout, and the price jumps. Choose premium fixtures or intricate tile work, and you add both material and labor costs. Large-format tiles bring elegance but also require more precision from installers. Built-in niches or recessed shelves? They look seamless but take more time to build. For most Woodside projects, you’re looking at anywhere from $16,000 to $30,000, depending on how far you go with finishes.

Avoid moving water lines if you can help it. Pick finishes that balance quality with price—you can get the look without the top-tier cost. Prefab vanities with built-in storage can save hundreds over custom work and still make the space feel tailored.

Look for someone licensed, insured, and fluent in the borough’s renovation rules. They should be comfortable dealing with co-op and condo paperwork. Clear, upfront pricing is non-negotiable—no vague estimates, no hidden add-ons.

Older Queens buildings tend to offer compact, oddly shaped bathrooms. This forces creative thinking—built-in shelving, smart layout tweaks, and rock-solid waterproofing become essential, especially if you’re adding a walk-in shower.
