Designed Around Comfort. Finished with Intent.
Homeowners across Manorhaven, Flower Hill, Baxter Estates, Port Washington North, and the waterfront neighborhoods along Manhasset Bay want bathroom projects that respect the character of their homes while improving how they function."
Center Island Contracting (CIC) is a Long Island design-build firm offering full-service bathroom remodeling from initial design through permitted construction under one team.
Let’s Start Your Bathroom Remodel
Defining the scope is the first thing that needs to happen before any other planning can move forward.
- What specifically isn’t working, such as the layout, storage, fixtures like the shower, or systems behind the walls?
- Are there underlying functional issues, such as aging plumbing, poor ventilation, or a failing subfloor, that must be addressed regardless of design?
- What level of renovation fits the home and its market?
- What is a realistic budget you are prepared to invest?
Resolving scope before design begins is what allows CIC to enter a structured process where cost, timeline, and permit path are defined before construction starts.

How History and Home Style Shape Remodeling Decisions
The type and age of the home directly impact how a bathroom remodel is approached. Each period comes with different structural conditions, system limitations, and renovation requirements.
The Types of Homes Found in Port Washington
Late Victorian and Summer Cottage Era (1880s–1910s)
Found near the original village center and waterfront, these homes typically have original plumbing configurations, early-generation electrical wiring, and plaster over wood lath. Opening a wall almost always surfaces conditions requiring remediation before finish work can begin.
Pre-war Colonials, Tudors, and Craftsman homes (1910s–1940s)
Concentrated throughout Beacon Hill and the elevated interior of the peninsula, these homes have strong structural bones but outdated mechanicals, single-vanity layouts, and original cast-iron or galvanized supply lines. Layout changes typically require a full plumbing rough-in.
Post-War Cape Cod Styles and Ranches (1945–1965)
Built rapidly during Nassau County's suburban expansion, these homes feature compact bathrooms, minimal ventilation, and subfloor deterioration around older tubs that often requires attention before new fixtures can be set.
Contemporary and Custom Builds (1970s–Present)
These homes offer more layout flexibility, but non-standard framing, deferred maintenance in secondary bathrooms, and prior work not meeting current Town of North Hempstead code are recurring issues that surface during pre-construction review.
Sands Point Estate Properties
These large-scale homes fall under Village jurisdiction, with their own permitting and zoning rules. Projects here often involve complex approvals and require planning that aligns with strict local regulations from the outset.
Two bathrooms of similar square footage in different parts of Port Washington can carry very different renovation scopes and permit requirements. A pre-construction site review before any pricing is finalized is how CIC accounts for those variables before they become mid-project surprises.

What You Need to Know
Planning and Permitting in Port Washington
Town of North Hempstead Building Department
Most Port Washington renovation and construction projects are permitted through the Town of North Hempstead. You can access permit applications, submittal requirements, forms, and FAQs through the Town’s online portal.
Village of Sands Point Building Department
Properties inside the Village of Sands Point are not governed by the Town of North Hempstead. The Village maintains its own permit process, fee schedule, and inspection program . A permit filed with the wrong authority is not valid. Variances go before the Village Zoning Board of Appeals.
Village of Flower Hill
Properties within Flower Hill are permitted through the Village, not through North Hempstead. Additions and footprint changes may require review by the Flower Hill Zoning Board of Appeals or Board of Trustees depending on setback and lot coverage.
ZBA and Planning Board Review
Projects requiring setback variances, height or coverage relief, or nonconforming footprint expansions require ZBA review at the applicable municipal level. This adds time to the project schedule and should be factored in from the start.
Requirements vary by scope and property location. We confirm jurisdiction with the applicable building department before beginning permitted work.
Stop By Our Design Studio & Showroom
Port Washington homeowners working through a bathroom remodel with CIC have access to a dedicated design center and showroom for in-person material and fixture selection alongside our team. Reviewing tile options, vanity finishes, and hardware together in a physical space produces more confident decisions than selecting from a website image or a small sample chip.
