Great design is all in the details. It’s the feeling of smooth pebble stones under your feet in the shower, the cool touch of a granite vanity, and the way a freestanding tub becomes the centerpiece of a room. These elements work together to create an experience, not just a space. Many homeowners have a general idea of what they want but need help bringing the specific textures and materials together cohesively. This is where professional guidance makes a difference. As a bathroom remodeler east islip, our team specializes in translating your vision into a beautiful, functional reality, just like this elegant bathroom we completed.
This elegant bathroom in The Moorings gated community in East Islip, Suffolk County, Long Island, NY was designed and built by Gappsi. We used porcelain tile on the shower walls. The bathroom vanity, niche, corner bench and wall edges on the entry to the shower are all granite. We used pebble stones on the floor of the shower to bring a natural, organic, spa like feeling and porcelain wood looking planks on the rest of the floor. Annabelle 69 inch acrylic, free standing, white soaking tub provides a soothing experience with Rook Lever Handle Kit Pair in Chrome made by Brizio.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I like some ideas from this bathroom but want a different style? That’s what the design process is all about. Think of this project as an example of what’s possible, not a template you have to follow. Our goal is to create a space that feels like you. We can take elements you love, like the pebble shower floor or the freestanding tub, and pair them with different tiles, vanities, and fixtures that match your personal taste.
How do you help clients choose the right mix of materials? It starts with a conversation about how you want the room to feel and function. We guide you through the options, explaining the practical benefits of materials like porcelain for durability and granite for a touch of luxury. We bring samples so you can see and feel how different textures work together, ensuring the final combination is cohesive, beautiful, and fits your lifestyle.
Is there a practical reason for having so many different shower heads? Yes, it’s all about creating a versatile shower experience. The overhead rain shower is perfect for a relaxing, gentle soak. The standard wall-mounted head gives you a more direct, everyday spray. And the handheld sprayer is incredibly useful for rinsing hard-to-reach spots, cleaning the shower walls, or even bathing pets. It gives you complete control.

This swimming pool, backyard patio, and the house exterior renovation were designed by Giuseppe Abbrancati and installed by the Gappsi team. We decided to use 24×24 porcelain pavers. Porcelain pavers are very durable and require no maintenance; they are also very precise in size and thickness. Their color variations are also very consistent and the texture is very comfortable to walk on. The home owner wanted a modern and clean look, with a stucco finish for the exterior walls and a simple stack bond pattern for the patio. The colors were a perfect blend of light beige and the pool coping was made of sandblasted marble pavers. This highlighted the pool shape and also matched the white trim of the house.
The construction of the vinyl swimming pool concrete walls consisted of assembling aluminum molds while after the walls are then poured, reinforced with rebar. The pool floor base was made with dry-pack sand and cement materials to harden and avoided foot prints. One large light was installed in the deep end and one small light was installed in the shallow area. The pool also had two wide-mouth skimmers encased in the concrete walls along with four returns and two deep end bottom drains.
