What Bohemia homes usually need
Bohemia has a mix of split-levels, ranches, high ranches and colonials. Here are the updates they ask for most.
-
Plain rooms with no detail
Flat walls, thin baseboard and no crown. The rooms are fine but feel unfinished.
Crown molding, wainscoting and taller baseboard add character without changing the layout.
-
Kitchens ready for new cabinets
The layout works, but the cabinets are worn and the backsplash is dated.
We install new cabinets and tile the backsplash, then handle the walls and paint around them.
-
Bathrooms with tile problems
Cracked tile, failing grout and soft spots around the tub or toilet.
We take it down to the subfloor and walls, fix the damage, and retile.
-
Backyards that need a better deck
Decks that are too small, falling apart, or were never built right.
We repair, rebuild or build a new deck that fits the yard.

Renovation work in Bohemia
Bohemia is in the Town of Islip, near MacArthur Airport. The houses are a mix of split-levels, ranches, high ranches and colonials. We’re based in Medford, a short drive east, and we work in Bohemia and the towns around the airport regularly.
Adding detail to plain rooms
A lot of Bohemia homes have rooms that work fine but feel plain: flat walls, thin baseboard and no crown molding. Trim is the fix. Crown molding along the ceiling, wainscoting on the lower part of the dining room wall, taller baseboard and wider door casing all add character without moving a wall.
Trim only looks good when it’s installed tight. Walls and ceilings in older houses aren’t perfectly straight, so we scribe and cope the joints, which means shaping each piece to fit the one next to it, instead of leaving gaps and filling them with caulk. Then we fill nail holes, caulk the edges and paint. The joints disappear.
Kitchens and bathrooms
In many kitchens, the layout is fine but the cabinets and backsplash are worn out. We remove the old cabinets, check that the walls are solid and flat, and install new ones level and tight. A new tile backsplash and paint finish the room.
Bathrooms are a different story. Cracked tile and failing grout often mean water got behind the surface. We take the room down far enough to find and fix the damage, then put down new tile on floors, tub surrounds and showers.
Split-levels
In split-levels, we often do floors across more than one level. Vinyl plank holds up to a damp lower level and looks the same on every floor. We finish each short flight of stairs with clean nosing so the edges are tight.
Outside
A lot of Bohemia homeowners want more out of the backyard, and that usually starts with the deck. We repair old ones, rebuild ones that are past saving, and build new decks sized for the yard. We also power wash siding and decks, often before a house goes on the market, and fix roof leaks.
Doors that match the new trim
New crown and baseboard can make old doors stand out. Many Bohemia homeowners replace the interior doors at the same time, so every opening in the room looks new. We install pre-hung doors, set them plumb so they close without sticking, and run new casing that matches the rest of the trim. Painted together, the whole room ties together.
How the job goes
We come out, look at the whole project and give you a written, itemized price with a start date and how long the job will take. The crew cleans up each day and walks the finished work with you. Call 631-745-9982 to get your price.
Bohemia renovation questions
Do I need a permit for a deck in Bohemia?
New decks usually need a permit, and repairs sometimes do. Bohemia is in the Town of Islip, so check with the Town of Islip building department before the job. We'll talk about the plan and what we see during the walk-through.
Is crown molding worth adding to a split-level?
In the main living and dining rooms, it usually is. It gives a plain room a finished look. We check the ceiling line first, since crown looks best when it's installed tight and follows the ceiling cleanly.
How far is Bohemia from Medford?
It's a short drive west. We work in Bohemia and the towns around MacArthur Airport regularly.
