You’re not just getting new cabinets or countertops. You’re getting a kitchen that actually functions for how you live—more counter space when you need it, storage that makes sense, and appliances that don’t trip your breaker every time you run the dishwasher and microwave at once.
Most homes in Old Westbury were built in the 1940s and 50s. That means outdated electrical systems that can’t handle modern appliances, cramped layouts that waste space, and cabinets that are literally falling apart. A real kitchen remodel fixes all of that—not just the stuff you can see.
You’ll have a space that works better, looks better, and adds real value to your home. No more fighting for counter space. No more wondering if your contractor is going to show up. Just a kitchen you’re proud to use every day.
We’ve been doing kitchen remodels in Old Westbury and across Nassau County for 50 years. Ray is on the job site every day—not just managing from a distance, but actually working. That’s rare, and it matters.
When you call, someone answers. When you text, you get a response. If a pipe freezes at 3 a.m., Ray picks up. That level of service is what keeps clients coming back for 10+ years and projects over $100,000.
You’re working with a general contractor who knows Old Westbury homes inside and out—the electrical quirks, the permit process, the weather challenges. This isn’t a side gig. It’s what we’ve built our reputation on.
First, Ray comes out to see your space and talk through what you want. Not a sales pitch—an actual conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and what’s realistic for your home and budget.
From there, you’ll get a clear plan that covers design, timeline, and cost. If permits are needed, we handle that—it’s one of our specialties, so you’re not dealing with Nassau County’s building department on your own. If the job doesn’t require permits, even better.
Once work starts, the crew shows up on time and leaves the site clean every day. Ray is there throughout the project, so if something comes up, it gets handled immediately. No waiting around for callbacks or wondering what’s going on. The work gets done exactly when promised—to the day.

A full kitchen remodel means tearing out what doesn’t work and rebuilding it the right way. That includes new cabinetry designed for your space, countertops that fit your style and use, and updated electrical to handle modern appliances without overloading your system.
In Old Westbury, where most homes sit on multi-acre lots and were built decades ago, you’re often dealing with more than just cosmetic updates. You might need structural changes to open up the layout, new plumbing if you’re moving the sink or adding an island, and upgraded wiring that meets current code.
We handle all of it—design, permits, demolition, installation, and cleanup. You’re not coordinating five different contractors or wondering who’s responsible when something goes wrong. It’s one team, one point of contact, and one person accountable for getting it right. That’s how large-scale projects get done without the chaos.
It depends on the scope of work, but expect to invest more than the national average. Labor costs, materials, and transportation are all higher on Long Island, and Nassau County permit fees alone can run $300 to $1,000 depending on what you’re doing.
For a full kitchen renovation—new cabinets, countertops, appliances, electrical upgrades, and layout changes—you’re typically looking at a significant investment. The good news is that Old Westbury home values support that investment. With a median home value over $2 million, a well-done kitchen remodel adds real equity.
The biggest cost driver is scope creep—when you start changing plans mid-project or realize your electrical system needs a full upgrade to handle new appliances. That’s where experience matters. Our 50 years in the business means fewer surprises and a more accurate estimate upfront.
Sometimes, yes—but it depends on what you’re changing. If you’re replacing cabinets, countertops, and appliances without moving plumbing or electrical, you might not need a permit. But if you’re opening walls, relocating the sink, or upgrading your electrical panel, permits are required.
We specialize in navigating the permit process in Nassau County, so even when permits are needed, it’s not a hassle for you. We know what the building department is looking for and how to get approvals without delays.
That said, skipping permits when they’re required can cause problems down the road—especially if you ever sell your home. An unpermitted renovation can kill a sale or force you to bring everything up to code at the worst possible time. It’s worth doing it right from the start.
Most full kitchen remodels take 6 to 12 weeks from demo to completion, depending on the size of the project and whether you’re dealing with structural changes or just cosmetic updates.
If you’re upgrading electrical systems—which is common in older Old Westbury homes—that adds time. Same with custom cabinetry, which can take weeks to build and deliver. But we give you a timeline upfront and stick to it. Work gets done to the day as promised, which is rare in this industry.
The key is planning. If you change your mind halfway through or discover issues like outdated wiring that needs a full replacement, that pushes the timeline. But with 50 years of experience, we know how to anticipate problems before they happen and keep the project moving.
Upgrade it before you install new appliances. Most homes built in the 1940s and 50s—which is a lot of Old Westbury—have electrical systems that can’t handle modern kitchens. You’ll blow breakers constantly, risk damaging expensive appliances, and create a safety hazard.
A proper upgrade means installing a new electrical panel, running updated wiring, and adding dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the foundation of a functional kitchen.
We handle electrical upgrades as part of the remodel, so you’re not coordinating with a separate electrician or dealing with code violations later. It gets done right the first time, and your kitchen actually works the way it’s supposed to.
Yes. If something goes wrong—a pipe bursts, the heat goes out, whatever—Ray answers the phone, even at 3 a.m. That’s not an exaggeration. Long Island winters are brutal, and frozen pipes are a real problem in older homes.
Most contractors don’t offer that level of availability, but we do. It’s part of the service that keeps clients coming back for over a decade. You’re not left scrambling to find an emergency plumber or dealing with water damage on your own.
When you’re in the middle of a kitchen remodel and your home is torn apart, knowing someone will actually pick up the phone makes a huge difference. It’s one less thing to worry about during an already stressful process.
Because a kitchen remodel involves more than one trade. You need demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and finishing work. Trying to coordinate all of that yourself is a nightmare.
A general contractor like us manages the entire project—scheduling subcontractors, ordering materials, handling permits, and making sure everything happens in the right order. You’re not chasing down five different people or dealing with finger-pointing when something goes wrong.
Ray is also one of the few contractors who’s actually on the job site every day, doing the work himself. That means quality control happens in real time, not after the fact. If there’s an issue, it gets fixed immediately. That’s the difference between a smooth project and one that drags on for months.
