Elegant Bathroom Renovation in Lindenhurst, NY by Gappsi

Transforming an outdated bathroom into a modern, luxurious retreat requires more than just new tiles and fixtures; it demands vision, craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to every detail. At Gappsi, we take pride in delivering home renovation projects that blend functionality, aesthetics, and long-lasting quality. Our latest bathroom renovation in Lindenhurst, NY, is a perfect example of what happens when expert design meets precise execution.

This renovation began as a complete gut remodel, stripping the space down to its bare structure and rebuilding it into a stunning, spa-like oasis that our clients can enjoy for years to come.

Starting from the Ground Up

Every successful renovation starts with a clean slate. Our team began by removing the existing walls and ceilings down to the studs. This step is crucial.  It enables us to evaluate the structure, identify potential issues, and establish a solid foundation for everything that follows.

bathroom-renovation-in-lindenhurst-ny3Once the demolition was complete, we addressed the home’s electrical system. The entire wiring was replaced with new electrical lines, ensuring safety and reliability. We installed modern high hats to provide balanced lighting throughout the room, along with GFCI outlets, new switches, and a ceiling fan to improve airflow and prevent moisture buildup, which is essential for a bathroom environment.

By upgrading every aspect of the electrical system, we ensured that the space not only looks beautiful but also meets modern safety standards and convenience needs.

New Plumbing and Fixtures for Superior Functionality

Plumbing plays a vital role in any bathroom renovation. For this project, our team replaced all plumbing lines and installed brand-new fixtures designed for performance and durability.

At the heart of the new shower system is a Moen shower body with all-new valves, chosen for its smooth operation, precise temperature control, and timeless design. Moen is known for its reliability and sleek aesthetics, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who value both quality and style.

By rebuilding the plumbing system from scratch, we ensured consistent water pressure and leak-free operation.  A long-term investment in comfort and peace of mind.

Firm Foundations: Cement and Green Boards

To create a moisture-resistant and durable structure, we installed new cement boards in the shower area. Cement board is ideal for wet environments because it prevents mold growth and provides a stable base for tile installation.

bathroom-renovation-in-lindenhurst-ny2For the rest of the bathroom’s walls and ceiling, we used green boards.  Water-resistant drywall designed explicitly for humid spaces. This combination ensures the entire bathroom is well-protected from moisture while maintaining structural integrity.

These unseen layers might not be glamorous, but they’re essential for ensuring that every tile, fixture, and finish stands the test of time.

Porcelain Perfection: A Modern Tile Design

The visual transformation of this Lindenhurst bathroom truly shines through its tile work. Every wall was covered in glossy white porcelain tiles featuring subtle gray veins. The result is a bright, elegant, and timeless look that reflects light beautifully, making the space feel larger and more open.

To create contrast and visual interest, we added a dark gray flat porcelain tile to accent the shower wall and the built-in nook. This feature adds depth and sophistication, highlighting the shower area as a statement piece within the room.

For the flooring, we selected flat, darker porcelain tiles with delicate vein patterns. These tiles complement the wall design while providing a slip-resistant surface that’s both functional and visually cohesive.

Porcelain is an ideal material for bathroom renovations due to its durability, low maintenance, and luxurious appearance. It’s resistant to moisture, scratches, and stains.  Perfect for a space that sees daily use.

Finishing Touches: Fixtures and Accessories

Every detail matters when it comes to creating a cohesive and stylish bathroom. To complete the transformation, we installed a new Kohler toilet, known for its sleek design and efficient performance.

darker porcelain tiles with delicate vein patternsThe vanity was upgraded to a modern style with a marble countertop, adding a touch of elegance and practicality. Marble is not only beautiful but also durable, making it a timeless choice for bathroom countertops.

Above the vanity, we mounted a fogless mirror with integrated lighting.  A functional yet luxurious addition that eliminates the common frustration of steam-covered mirrors. This feature enhances everyday routines while contributing to the bathroom’s overall modern aesthetic.

Every accessory, from the towel bars to the light fixtures, was chosen to complement the design’s contemporary theme while maintaining functionality and balance.

A Modern Bathroom That Marries Form and Function

The finished bathroom is a showcase of clean lines, neutral tones, and thoughtful design. The combination of glossy porcelain, marble, and soft lighting creates a serene environment perfect for relaxation.

What was once a dated and confined space has now become a bright, modern, and inviting retreat.  A true reflection of Gappsi’s craftsmanship and commitment to excellence.

Each phase of this renovation, from demolition to final touches, was handled with precision and care. The result is a bathroom that not only meets the homeowner’s expectations but exceeds them in every way.

Composite Fence and Home Remodel | East Islip NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Greenwood Fence Home RemodelAs the premier provider of composite fence and home remodel work Gappsi presents our latest job in East Islip NY

Greenwood Fence offers unmatched quality, durability, and value. Their products are crafted from premium materials and engineered to exceed industry standards, ensuring years of reliable performance and aesthetic appeal. Composite fences can last between 30-50 years if looked after properly.

Composite Fences Are Built To Last

New fencing doesn’t just work to keep people out – it also keeps kids and pets on your property. Your backyard can be a private play area for your children, a safe haven for them to let out their energy. At the same time, a fence allows your dog to safely go outside without a leash.

A fence is not just a boundary marker also for your property; it’s an investment. When choosing the right fencing material, durability and longevity are two crucial factors to consider.  Fencing provides a sense of security and protection for your property. It serves as a physical barrier that prevents intruders from accessing your property. This is especially important for businesses that store valuable items or have sensitive information that needs to be protected.

Among the various types of fences available today, composite fences are gaining popularity due to their unique features and benefits.

The high-density core Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) material, combined with a co-extruded polymer surface shield, prevents water absorption unlike wood and other composite products.  Also unlike wood, there is no rotting or decaying with their  WPC fence boards.  A Greenwood Fence board is resistant to insect infestations, such as termites.  The use of aluminum parts, posts, and rails ensures it will not rust.

Aspen Brown Greenwood FenceComposite Fence Materials are Leading The Industry

Durability: Composite material, composed of wood fibers and plastic, offers unmatched durability. Unlike wood, it is resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, ensuring your fence stands strong against the test of time. Say goodbye to the hassles of regular maintenance and repairs that often accompany wooden fences.

Weather Resistance: Composite fencing is engineered to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Unlike wood, it won’t warp, crack, or splinter when exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture. This makes it ideal for regions with diverse climates, ensuring your fence remains pristine yearly.

Strength and Versatility: Greenwood Fence’s composite material combines the strength of wood fibers with the flexibility of plastic, resulting in a fence that is not only robust but also versatile. It can be customized to fit various design preferences without compromising on structural integrity.

Environmental Sustainability: Choosing composite material is an eco-friendly decision. By utilizing recycled materials, Greenwood Fence contributes to reducing environmental impact. This makes their fences an excellent choice for environmentally conscious homeowners who seek sustainable alternatives.

Aluminum Components: Greenwood Fence understands the importance of longevity in fencing materials, which is why the metal components in the fences are made of aluminum. Aluminum boasts superior corrosion resistance, ensuring that your fence remains rust-free even in challenging weather conditions. This choice not only enhances the lifespan of the fence but also reduces maintenance requirements.

Greenwood Fence in Aspen Brown

In our recent home remodel project we installed the Aspen Brown Greenwood Fence with black aluminum posts.  On one side of the house, we installed a 10ft double gate.  A 10-foot gate can be a good choice for driveways, fields, pastures, or bush lanes because it can fit most vehicles, including cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs. It can also allow access to large equipment, such as riding mowers.  On the other side of the home, we installed a single 4ft gate.

Home remodel with greenwood fenceComposite Fence and Home Remodel By Gappsi

Gappsi completely remodeled the house with a modern country-style look. We installed all the new English strips and field stones for the bottom half of the facade of the home. We also installed Cumaru Wood known as Brazilian Teak with blue vinyl siding. Cumaru wood is a dense, tough wood with a wavy, coarse texture and irregular grain. Cumaru is known for its durability, distinctive color, and resistance to rot, decay, and insects. It’s also weather-resistant and can withstand direct water exposure without treatment.  Cumaru can range from golden tan to reddish brown with dark grain accents.

Gappsi Natural Stone Collection Blue Limestone

We installed G045 Blue Limestone with G045 two-inch coping for the step treads selected from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection.  Gappsi continued the limestone in the walkway and porch area of the home.  Limestone is a hard material that fairs well under exposure to the elements, making it an excellent candidate for outdoor patios, steps, and walkways. It is easy to cut and convenient to work with, minimizing costly complications during installation and contributing toward a flawless finished product.  Blue Limestone is used in a wide range of exterior and interior building applications from building facades to low-level garden walls or boundary walls.

This is the latest Composite Fence and Home Remodel along with all the masonry completed by Gappsi in East Islip NY.  A remodeled facade will increase the value of your home. When it comes time to sell your property, it is a good investment. Potential buyers will appreciate a house with a new facade, so choosing the right materials and contractor for your facade renovation is very important.  Give Gappsi a call today for a FREE consultation.

Natural Limestone Driveway Design and Installation in Laurel Hollow NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

limestoneLaurel-Hollow-Natural-Limestone-Driveway-design-and-installation2Don’t overlook the beauty of your driveway, we recently completed a natural limestone driveway design and installation in Laurel Hollow NY. A simple way to enhance your curb appeal is by using limestone pavers for your driveway. Rich creamy tans, weathered grays, deep burgundies – limestone’s natural palette provides options for any style. The stone’s hardy composition stands up to vehicles while adding elegance to the entrance.

Usually, the driveway is an entry point when your guests come with cars or a vehicle. They will examine your home based on driveway experiences. So, it is a good opportunity to improve the beauty of the driveway by selecting the right material for its construction and decorating the landscape surrounding it throughout the entire path.

Limestone is an eco-friendly paving material, as it’s a natural material that requires little to no treatment when installed for a driveway.  Natural limestone is the ideal choice if you want to bring natural beauty to your outside with its distinctive colors and subtle texture. Quarried straight from the earth, with no chemicals, pure in its habitat state guaranteeing you or no one else will have a paver the same!

Why Is Limestone Good For A Driveway?

The porous nature of limestone lets water drain through quickly, to prevent water logging or standing water. If you live in a region that gets lots of rain, this feature can be a game-changer that saves you from dealing with a water-logged driveway.

Limestone has become a popular construction material for driveways due to its durability and ease of installation.  It is a strong, durable, and heat-resistant material. When subjected to heavy loads and high temperatures, it does not crack or crumble easily.  This quality in a paver is attractive to homeowners especially because it is also highly resistant to weathering due to its high tannin content. They are perfect for areas that experience heavy downpours or snowfall.  The stone can withstand frost-freezing cycles without chipping off when properly installed with adequate support underneath it during installation.

Laurel-Hollow-Natural-Limestone-Driveway-design-and-installation3Why Choose Natural Stone?

  • Up to 10 times stronger than concrete
  • Pre-cut sizes and gauged thickness
  • Choice of installation methods, no new techniques
  • Unique and attractive with great color choices
  • Will not fade or expose aggregate over time
  • Frost resistant and long-lasting
  • Recyclable and eco-friendly

What Driveway Paver Size Are You Considering?

A shift to large-format natural stone for both residential and commercial driveway systems is gaining popularity. Natural stone in all formats–traditional (small 4”x4”, 6”x6” cubes or random length) or the larger formats (which are gaining traction with architects and designers–with its aesthetic and structural benefits), makes it a strong alternative to concrete pavers.

What Are the Different Types of Limestone Paving Textures & Colors?

When it comes to limestone paving, the options are incredibly diverse. We encourage you to explore the various types of limestone available. Each offers unique textures and colors to suit different aesthetic preferences. For example, you can opt for the elegance of beige or cream-toned limestone, or the warmth of golden or honey-colored limestone. Some types of limestone may showcase natural veining or fossils, adding further character and charm to your outdoor space. Choose from smooth and polished finishes to textured or antiqued surfaces; you can’t go wrong. The different types of limestone paving allow you to create a truly custom look that enhances the beauty of your surroundings.

Laurel-Hollow-Natural-Limestone-Driveway-design-and-installationCreate Interesting Patterns with Limestones in Your Driveway

We know natural stones come in various sizes and shapes. If we select square and rectangular shapes and the different sizes of slabs, we can end with an interesting design pattern. You can also leave some grouts wide and create thin belts in your design. Natural variations in stones give it a rustic look and different colors and hues add a decent charm to the driveway design patterns. Limestone and slates are the most befitting material for the creation of such stone designs and patterns.

Even though driveways are more about functionality rather than their looks, your cars deserve a beautiful parking spot! Pretty driveways are getting popular today as they add great value to your property and boost its curb appeal.

Laurel-Hollow-Natural-Limestone-Driveway-design-and-installation1Natural Limestone Driveway Design and Installation in Laurel Hollow NY

This large driveway was designed and installed by Gappsi in Laurel Hollow NY. The apron of the driveway was paved with granite 6×9 tumbled pavers. The driveway is all natural stones, a combination of granite and limestone. The main field of the driveway we used was a small set home paver G045 limestone leading to the courtyard front door. In the front courtyard, we used Gappsi G046 small set of limestone. It is a beautiful combination of all-natural colors, browns, grays, maroons, and blue. We also installed a Belgian block border. The all-driveway blue limestone was bordered with beige granite.

This is a very large driveway with over 15,000 square feet of natural stone pavers. There is also a courtyard in the back area of the house, leading to the garage doors. The backyard includes a raised patio where we used cultured stones along with Eldorado cultured stones, and veneered coping with travertine. Beautiful colors of the natural stones. The driveway was completed over 10 years ago.  Our Cleaning and Sealing team sealed the driveway and resanded the joints. We used high-quality sealers and the best quality polymeric sand; it looks better than it ever has. This is the latest job by Gappsi in Laurel Hollow NY.

Flamed Granite Pavers For Driveways

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Flamed Granite Pavers For Driveways

Flamed Granite pavers driveway

Why should you use Granite Pavers when paving your driveway?

Granite is a very common type of rock, flamed granite is another hard-wearing granite paver you can use. The flamed finish provides that extra grip surface. The flames granite is very dense because it has been torched with a flame to cause an exfoliated finish, commonly known as a “Flamed” finish.  The flamed finish provides the stone with a high grip surface, hence its popularity for domestic and commercial jobs.

Gappsi’s Flamed Granite Pavers are widely used in the home, on patios, decks, and around commercial properties. Granite has been used in construction for tens of thousands of years now. It is a popular stone also due to its very tough and durable nature along with an abundant stone.  Most granite deposits are massive making the cost lower compared to some of the other types of stone used in construction. Granite is quite beautiful and is often preferred in areas where style is the primary concern as opposed to the functionality of the area the stone is used in.

What is the texture & color of granite?

Granite has a coarse to medium texture and can come in a wide range of colors including shades of pink and grey. The color depends entirely on the chemistry and different minerals making up the stone. Generally, different areas will have stones of a slightly different shade and a common feature is the different colors within any slab of stone. The overall hue will usually range from gray to pink, but within are shades of both pink and gray are tan, black, and white as well as a clear or shiny crystal.

Granite Pavers Used In Construction

Most projects are completed and installed over a recycled concrete base (RCA) then the flamed granite pavers are installed over one inch of sand with Surebond polymeric sand to fill the joints between the pavers. Additionally, gray granite Belgian blocks are used to retain the earth next to driveway borders.

We created a compass star aligned with the door, to highlight the entrance to the house. It’s a circular driveway with a separate driveway for the garage doors. The color of the pavers matches the roof tiles of the house, a combination of beige maroon rust and the blue limestone for the aprons of all the entrances of the driveway. The installation of the driveway started with the excavation of the soil and the installation of the RCA base.

Flamed Granite Pavers Driveway

The driveway in the pictures above was constructed using a 10-inch RCA base, and granite:

  • The pavers were installed on one inch of fine sand
  • Paving stone sizes were 6”x 9” with a flamed and tumbled texture finish.
  • The flamed granite pavers are 1-1/4” thick
  • Flamed granite pavers are a great choice because they can be used for pedestrian and vehicular trafficked areas.
  • The joints in between the pavers were filled with polymeric sand, then compacted with a mechanical vibratory plate and sealed.

To learn more about Gappsi products, please contact us at 631-543-1177 or visit our showroom.

That is not to say there are not a number of advantages though:
1. Granite is durable, it is a very hard stone and will last for years with little or no wear. In fact, many who carve monuments have begun switching from marble to granite due to increased acid rain, which over years will degrade the marble more so than granite.
2. Granite is beautiful because it comes in a wide range of shades, plus polished granite can be a truly stylish addition to nearly any home or building.
3. Granite compared to other stones is more affordable due to its abundance.
