Tile & Stone Contractor in Islip, NY

Tile work in Islip

Islip has some of the best older housing on the South Shore. Bay Shore, Brightwaters, Sayville and Bayport have Victorians, Craftsman bungalows and shingle-style homes from the early 1900s, with tall ceilings, original hex-tile floors, and bathrooms that were carved out of closets decades ago. Great River and the Connetquot side have larger estate properties where natural stone and book-matched marble are the expectation, not the upgrade.

West Islip, East Islip and Islip Terrace are mostly 1950s and 60s colonials and splits, and Central Islip, Brentwood and Bohemia are postwar capes and ranches with a steady stream of hall-bath renovations and shower pans that have finally given out. Oakdale and the canal neighborhoods add waterfront homes where moisture and salt drive every material choice. Across the town, the common thread is restoring old bathrooms without wrecking their character. Hex mosaics on a proper mud bed, subway tile with a real cove base, marble thresholds, and modern bonded waterproofing behind all of it.
