You’re not remodeling your kitchen because it’s fun. You’re doing it because you’re out of counter space, your cabinets are falling apart, or your electrical system can’t handle a microwave and coffee maker at the same time.
A proper kitchen renovation fixes all of that. You get layouts that actually make sense for cooking and cleanup. Cabinets that close. Outlets where you need them. And enough storage so you’re not stacking pots in the oven.
Most Long Island homes were built in the 1950s and 60s. That means outdated wiring, cramped layouts, and plumbing that wasn’t designed for modern appliances. A full kitchen remodel addresses the stuff you can see and the stuff you can’t—so you’re not dealing with the same problems five years from now.
We’ve been handling kitchen remodels, extensions, and full home renovations across Nassau and Suffolk County since the early 1980s. We’re ranked in the top 1% of licensed contractors in New York—not because we’re cheap, but because we show up, answer the phone, and finish what we start.
We specialize in larger projects: full kitchen gut jobs, first-floor renovations, dormers, and extensions. The kind of work that requires permits, inspections, and someone who knows how to navigate Long Island building codes without adding months to your timeline.
You’ll work with the same crew from demo to final walkthrough. We keep the job site clean, we don’t disappear for weeks at a time, and if something goes wrong at 3 a.m., we pick up the phone.
First, we walk through your kitchen and talk about what’s not working. Layout, storage, appliances, lighting—whatever’s driving you crazy. We measure everything, check the electrical panel, and figure out what needs to be ripped out versus what can stay.
Then we handle the design and planning. That includes working with you on cabinet layout, countertop materials, flooring, and fixture placement. We also pull permits and schedule inspections so you’re not dealing with the town yourself.
Once demo starts, we gut the space down to the studs if needed. That’s when we upgrade electrical, move plumbing lines, fix any structural issues, and install new insulation. Then comes the rebuild: drywall, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and appliances. We coordinate everything so you’re not waiting on one trade to finish before the next one shows up. The whole process typically takes a few months depending on scope, and we keep you updated the entire way through.

A complete kitchen renovation covers everything from layout redesign to the final coat of paint. That means new cabinetry, countertops, sinks, faucets, lighting, flooring, and backsplash. It also means upgrading your electrical system to handle modern appliances and adding outlets where you actually need them.
For most Garden City Park homes, that also includes addressing foundation settling, outdated plumbing, and insufficient insulation—issues common in older Long Island construction. We handle all of it as part of the job, so you’re not calling someone else six months later to fix what should’ve been done right the first time.
If your project involves moving walls, adding square footage, or reconfiguring the layout entirely, we manage that too. Permits, inspections, architectural planning, and coordination with the town—it’s all part of the process. You’re not juggling multiple contractors or trying to figure out who’s responsible for what. One crew, one point of contact, one timeline.
For a medium-sized kitchen in Garden City Park—around 120 square feet—you’re looking at anywhere from $25,000 to $100,000+ depending on finishes, layout changes, and how much structural work is involved. That range accounts for everything from mid-grade materials and standard layouts to custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and moving plumbing or electrical lines.
Most homeowners on Long Island spend between $25,000 and $50,000 for a solid, functional remodel that includes new cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, and updated electrical. If you’re doing a full gut job with layout changes, expect to be closer to $75,000 or more.
The good news: kitchen remodels return 65% to 96% of their cost when you sell. And even if you’re not selling, you’re fixing problems that cost you time, frustration, and money every single day. We give you a transparent estimate upfront so there’s no guessing and no surprise invoices three weeks into the job.
Plan on three to five months for a full kitchen remodel, depending on the scope of work and whether you’re changing the layout or just updating finishes. That includes design, permits, demo, rough-in work, installation, and final inspections.
Demo and rough-in—electrical, plumbing, framing—usually take two to four weeks. Then comes drywall, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and trim work, which is another four to eight weeks depending on material lead times and inspection schedules. Custom cabinets or specialty countertops can add a few weeks if they’re not in stock.
The timeline also depends on how quickly the town processes permits and schedules inspections. In Nassau County, permit fees run $300 to $1,000, and inspections can add a week or two depending on the queue. We manage all of that for you and keep the project moving so you’re not sitting in limbo waiting for someone from the building department to show up.
If your home was built before 1980, yes—you almost definitely need electrical work. Most older Long Island homes have 60- to 100-amp panels that can’t handle the load from modern kitchens. Refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, garbage disposals, and electric ranges all pull serious power, and running them simultaneously on outdated wiring is a fire hazard.
A proper kitchen remodel includes upgrading your electrical panel if needed, adding dedicated circuits for major appliances, installing GFCI outlets near water sources, and making sure you have enough counter outlets to meet current code. That’s not optional—it’s required to pass inspection.
We handle the electrical rough-in as part of the remodel so everything’s up to code and safe. You won’t be tripping breakers every time you run the dishwasher, and you won’t be dealing with an inspector who won’t sign off because your outlet spacing is wrong. It’s built in from the start.
Yes. Most of our clients stay in their homes during the remodel, and we plan the work around that. You won’t have a functioning kitchen for a few weeks during demo and rough-in, so most people set up a temporary space in another room with a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge.
We keep the work area contained, clean up at the end of every day, and don’t leave tools or materials scattered around your house. Our crews show up on time, work a full day, and communicate if anything changes. If you need us to avoid certain hours or work around kids’ schedules, we make it happen.
The dust and noise are unavoidable during demo, but we use plastic barriers and floor protection to keep the mess from spreading. And if something comes up—a frozen pipe, a last-minute change, an issue you didn’t expect—we handle it without adding weeks to the schedule or thousands to the budget.
We deal with changes all the time. You pick a backsplash tile, live with it for a week, and realize you hate it. Or you decide halfway through that you want the island bigger. It happens on almost every job, and it’s not a problem as long as we talk about it before the work is done.
If the change affects cost or timeline, we’ll tell you upfront. Swapping out a faucet finish? Easy. Moving a wall after framing is done? That’s a bigger conversation. But we don’t shut you down or act like you’re being difficult—we just make sure you know what it means for the schedule and the budget before we proceed.
The key is communication. If you’re not happy with something, say so before we move to the next phase. We’d rather fix it now than have you live with a kitchen you’re not thrilled about for the next 20 years.
Because coordinating demo crews, electricians, plumbers, cabinet installers, countertop fabricators, tile setters, painters, and inspectors is a full-time job—and if one trade is late or does something wrong, it throws off everyone else. You’ll spend weeks chasing people down, fixing mistakes, and trying to figure out why your cabinets don’t fit or your countertop measurements are off.
A general contractor manages all of that for you. We schedule the trades, make sure the work is done right the first time, and handle any issues that come up without you needing to get involved. We also know the local building codes, permit requirements, and inspection process, so you’re not learning on the fly or failing inspections because of something you didn’t know was required.
You’ll also get better pricing. We have relationships with suppliers and subcontractors, so materials and labor cost less than if you were hiring everyone independently. And if something goes wrong, you have one point of contact to fix it—not five different people blaming each other.
