You’ll have counter space that makes sense. Cabinets that close properly and hold what you actually use. Electrical that can handle your appliances without tripping breakers every time you want toast with your coffee.
The layout flows. Prep to cooking to cleanup happens without backtracking across the room. Storage goes where you need it, not where it happened to fit in 1955.
If your home is one of Malverne’s older builds, you know the kitchen wasn’t designed for how people cook now. The workflow is off. The wiring can’t keep up. You’re making it work, but you shouldn’t have to.
A proper kitchen remodel fixes that. It gives you a space built around how you actually use it, with materials that last and systems that work. No more fighting your own kitchen just to make dinner.
We take on large-scale kitchen remodels and first-floor renovations across Long Island. We’re a general contractor focused on projects that require real coordination, not quick fixes.
Malverne homes have character, but many still have the original electrical and layouts from decades ago. We’ve worked in enough of them to know what you’re dealing with before we even walk in. The cramped galley kitchens. The outdated wiring. The lack of storage that seemed fine in 1950 but doesn’t cut it now.
What sets us apart isn’t complicated. We answer when you call. We respond to texts. Our crews keep the job site clean and act professionally in your home. If something urgent comes up, like frozen pipes during a Long Island winter, we handle it. That’s not standard in this market, but it should be.
First, we come out to see what you’re working with. We look at the space, talk about what’s not working, and figure out what you actually need versus what sounds nice but won’t get used. If your electrical system is outdated, we’ll tell you. If the layout can be improved without moving plumbing, we’ll show you how.
Once we agree on scope, we handle permits if needed, though we prefer jobs that don’t require them when possible. It keeps timelines predictable. Then we start demo and build from there: electrical, plumbing, framing, drywall, cabinets, countertops, flooring.
Throughout the job, you’ll be able to reach us. You’ll know what’s happening and when. The site stays clean. Our crews show up on time and work professionally. When we’re done, you’ll have a kitchen that works the way you need it to, built to last, and finished without the runaround most contractors put you through.

A complete kitchen renovation covers everything from layout redesign to final finishes. That means new cabinetry with functional storage, countertops that fit your use and budget, updated electrical that handles modern appliances, and plumbing relocated if the new layout calls for it.
In Malverne and across Nassau County, kitchen remodel costs typically run between $15,000 and $70,000 depending on size and finishes. Long Island pricing runs higher than national averages because of labor costs and material transportation, but you’re also getting work done by people who understand local building requirements and home styles.
We also handle the details that matter but don’t always get talked about upfront. Proper lighting so you can actually see what you’re doing. Flooring that holds up to traffic. Ventilation that works. If your project connects to other rooms or includes first-floor renovation work, we coordinate that too.
The goal is a kitchen that adds real value to your home and your daily life. Long Island homeowners recover up to 80% of kitchen remodeling costs at resale, but more importantly, you get a space that doesn’t frustrate you every time you use it.
Kitchen remodeling costs in Malverne typically range from $15,000 for basic updates to over $70,000 for high-end renovations. The wide range comes down to size, materials, and how much structural work is involved.
If you’re keeping the same layout and updating cabinets, countertops, and appliances, you’re on the lower end. If you’re moving walls, relocating plumbing, upgrading electrical to handle modern loads, and installing custom cabinetry, you’re looking at the higher end.
Long Island pricing runs above national averages. Labor costs more here because of the local cost of living, and materials cost more because of transportation and demand. But you’re also paying for contractors who know how to work with older homes and local code requirements. A kitchen remodel is a significant investment, but it’s one of the few projects that actually returns value when done right.
Most full kitchen remodels take six to twelve weeks from demo to completion. The timeline depends on the scope of work, whether permits are required, and how quickly materials arrive.
A straightforward remodel with no layout changes and no permit requirements moves faster. If you’re relocating plumbing, upgrading electrical panels, or waiting on custom cabinets, it takes longer. Permit approval can add time, which is why we prefer jobs that don’t require them when possible.
We keep you updated throughout the process so you know what’s happening and when. Delays happen sometimes, usually because of material lead times or unexpected issues we find once walls are open. But we don’t disappear or leave you guessing. You’ll be able to reach us, and we’ll give you straight answers about where things stand.
Yes, and it often makes sense to keep plumbing where it is if the layout already works reasonably well. Moving plumbing adds cost and complexity, especially in older Malverne homes where access can be limited.
That said, if your current layout has you walking back and forth across the kitchen just to prep a meal, it might be worth relocating the sink or adding a second prep sink in an island. A good kitchen design connects your workflow: fridge to prep area to cooking to cleanup. If the plumbing location is breaking that flow, moving it can be worth the investment.
We’ll walk through your space and talk about whether keeping plumbing in place makes sense or if relocating it would actually improve how the kitchen functions. Sometimes a small plumbing move makes a big difference. Other times, you can get everything you need with a layout adjustment and save the cost.
Many older Long Island homes have electrical systems that weren’t designed for modern kitchens. If your home was built in the 1950s or earlier, there’s a good chance your panel and wiring can’t handle the load from today’s appliances.
Refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, garbage disposals, and countertop appliances all pull power. If you’re tripping breakers now, a remodel is the time to fix it. That usually means upgrading your electrical panel, adding dedicated circuits for major appliances, and bringing everything up to current code.
We assess your electrical situation before we start work. If an upgrade is needed, we’ll tell you upfront so there are no surprises. It’s not the most exciting part of a kitchen remodel, but it’s one of the most important. You don’t want a beautiful new kitchen that can’t run your coffee maker and toaster at the same time.
It depends on the scope of work. If you’re replacing cabinets, countertops, and appliances without moving plumbing or electrical, you typically don’t need a permit. If you’re relocating walls, moving plumbing, upgrading electrical panels, or changing the layout significantly, you probably do.
Permit requirements vary by municipality, and Nassau County has its own rules. We handle permit applications when they’re required, but we prefer jobs that don’t need them when possible because it keeps timelines more predictable and avoids bureaucratic delays.
That said, if your project requires a permit, we pull it and make sure the work is done to code. Skipping permits on work that requires them can cause problems down the line, especially if you sell the house. Inspectors and buyers notice unpermitted work, and it can kill a sale or cost you more to fix later than it would have to do it right the first time.
Look for someone who answers the phone and responds when you reach out. That sounds basic, but it’s the number one complaint about contractors. If they’re hard to reach before you hire them, it gets worse once the job starts.
You also want a contractor who’s licensed and insured. Most states require it, and for good reason. Unlicensed contractors can leave you with poor work, code violations, and no recourse if something goes wrong. Ask for proof of insurance and verify their license before you sign anything.
Finally, look for someone who keeps a clean job site and runs a professional crew. You’re letting people into your home for weeks at a time. They should respect your space, show up on time, and behave professionally. A contractor who can’t manage that isn’t someone you want running a major remodel. Word of mouth is still the most trusted way to find a good contractor, so ask around in your area and see who actually delivers.
