You’re not remodeling your kitchen just to check a box. You want a space where cooking doesn’t feel like a chore, where you can host without apologizing for the layout, and where everything from the cabinets to the countertops actually makes sense for how you live.
That’s what a proper kitchen renovation does. It fixes the bottlenecks—the cramped prep areas, the outdated appliances, the storage that never worked. It updates the look without chasing trends that’ll feel dated in three years.
And if you’re thinking about resale, kitchen remodeling consistently delivers some of the highest returns on investment in the Long Island housing market. Buyers notice. But more importantly, you notice—every single day you’re in that space.
We’ve been handling kitchen and bathroom remodels, extensions, and whole-house renovations across Long Island since the early ’80s. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded—and we rank in the top 1% of contractors in New York according to BuildZoom.
We’re not the biggest operation on the island, and that’s intentional. Ray answers the phone. Our crews show up when we say they will, clean up after themselves, and treat your home like it matters.
Roslyn Harbor homeowners know what quality looks like. You’ve seen bad contractors, delayed timelines, and estimates that balloon halfway through the job. We’ve built our reputation by doing the opposite—keeping our word, staying available, and delivering work that holds up.
First, we walk through your kitchen together. You tell us what’s not working—maybe it’s the layout, maybe it’s storage, maybe the whole thing needs to be gutted. We listen, take measurements, and talk through what’s realistic for your budget and timeline.
Then we put together a detailed estimate. No vague line items. No surprise fees later. If something changes during the job, we talk about it before we move forward.
Once we start, our crews handle everything—demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, flooring. We manage the inspections if permits are required. We coordinate with suppliers. You get updates as we go, and if you text or call, you’ll actually get a response.
At the end, you’ve got a kitchen that works. Drawers that close right. Countertops that fit. Lighting that makes sense. And a contractor you can call again when the next project comes up.

A complete kitchen renovation covers more than just swapping out cabinets. We’re talking layout reconfiguration, new electrical and plumbing rough-ins, updated lighting, cabinetry installation, countertop fabrication and install, backsplash tile work, flooring, and trim.
In Roslyn Harbor and across Nassau County, homeowners are leaning toward modern kitchen designs with clean lines, quartz countertops, and soft neutral palettes—whites, beiges, coastal blues. It’s the Hamptons-inspired look without the Hamptons price tag. We also see a lot of requests for kitchen islands with seating, because that’s where people actually gather.
If your home was built before 1990, there’s a good chance your kitchen layout doesn’t match how you cook or entertain today. Older Long Island homes often have closed-off kitchens with limited counter space and inefficient work triangles. We fix that. We open up sightlines, add storage where it matters, and make sure your appliances aren’t fighting for the same circuit.
And yes, we handle permits when they’re required—most towns in Nassau and Suffolk County need them for electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. We know the local codes and inspectors, so that part doesn’t slow you down.
It depends on the scope. A mid-grade kitchen renovation in Nassau County typically runs around $36,000 to $50,000. That usually includes new cabinets, quartz or granite countertops, updated appliances, flooring, and basic lighting upgrades.
If you’re doing a high-end remodel with custom cabinetry, premium stone, designer fixtures, and layout changes that require moving plumbing or walls, you’re looking at $70,000 to $100,000 or more. Experts recommend spending about 10-15% of your home’s value on a kitchen remodel if you want the best return on investment without overcapitalizing.
We give you a detailed estimate upfront. No ballpark guesses. You’ll know what everything costs before we start, and if you want to add or change something mid-project, we talk through the cost before we do it.
Most full kitchen remodels take 6 to 10 weeks once we start demo. That timeline assumes we’re doing cabinets, countertops, flooring, electrical, plumbing, and tile work—basically a complete overhaul.
Smaller projects, like refacing cabinets and swapping countertops, can be done in 3 to 4 weeks. Larger projects that involve moving walls, adding windows, or reconfiguring the layout can stretch to 12 weeks, especially if permits and inspections are involved.
Weather can affect timelines during Long Island winters—frozen ground or delayed material shipments happen. But we keep you updated every step of the way. If something’s delayed, you’ll know why and when we expect to get back on track. We don’t disappear and hope you don’t notice.
Most likely, yes—if you’re doing any electrical, plumbing, or structural work. Towns across Nassau and Suffolk County require permits for anything that touches your home’s systems or changes the footprint.
If you’re just replacing cabinets and countertops without moving plumbing or electrical, you might not need permits. But if you’re adding recessed lighting, moving a sink, installing a new range hood with venting, or taking down a wall, you’ll need to pull permits and schedule inspections.
We handle that process. We know the local building departments, what they require, and how to keep things moving. Permits add a week or two to the timeline, but they also protect you—and your home’s resale value—down the road.
Quartz is the most popular choice right now, and for good reason. It’s durable, doesn’t need sealing, resists stains better than granite, and comes in a huge range of colors and patterns. It handles the wear and tear of a busy kitchen without much maintenance.
Granite is still a solid option if you want natural stone with unique veining. It does need to be sealed every year or two, but it holds up well and adds value. Marble looks incredible but scratches and stains more easily, so it’s better suited for lower-traffic areas or homeowners who don’t mind the patina.
For Roslyn Harbor kitchens, we see a lot of white and light gray quartz with subtle veining—it fits the modern coastal aesthetic that’s trending on Long Island and appeals to buyers if you ever sell. We work with local fabricators who template, cut, and install, so the whole process is coordinated and clean.
Yes. Most of our clients stay in their homes during the remodel. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s doable if you plan for it.
We’ll set up a temporary kitchen space in another room—usually a folding table with a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge. You won’t have full cooking capability, but you can get by. We also coordinate the work to minimize how long you’re without water or power. Plumbing and electrical shutoffs are scheduled in phases, not all at once.
Our crews clean up at the end of every day. We use dust barriers to keep the mess contained, and we don’t leave tools or materials scattered around your house. You’ll have access to the rest of your home, and if you need us to adjust the schedule for an event or family visit, just let us know. We’ve done this enough times to make it as painless as possible.
If you’re constantly running into someone while cooking, or if your fridge blocks a doorway when it’s open, or if you have to walk across the entire kitchen just to get from the stove to the sink—your layout needs work.
The work triangle (the path between your sink, stove, and fridge) should be efficient. If it’s not, you’re wasting steps and time every single day. Older Long Island homes often have kitchens that were designed when cooking meant one person working alone. Now, kitchens are multi-use spaces where people cook, eat, do homework, and hang out.
We’ll walk through your current setup and talk about how you actually use the space. Sometimes a layout change is as simple as moving an island or flipping the location of the sink and range. Other times, it means taking out a wall or adding a peninsula. We’ll show you what’s possible within your budget and explain what’s going to give you the biggest improvement in how the kitchen functions.
