Your mornings start differently when the bathroom isn’t fighting you. Your kitchen becomes a place you want to cook in, not avoid. The layout finally matches how your family actually lives.
Most Garden City homes were built in the 1950s or earlier. That means outdated electrical, plumbing that’s seen better days, and floor plans designed for a different era. A full house renovation isn’t about making things look nice—it’s about making your home functional again.
You’re not moving. The market’s too competitive, rates are locked in, and you’ve built equity here. So the question becomes: do you keep patching problems one at a time, or do you fix everything at once and actually enjoy where you live?
When you bundle kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, and layout changes into one coordinated project, you deal with the disruption once. You get crews who know what they’re doing. And you end up with a home that works the way you need it to.
We’ve been handling large-scale renovations across Nassau County for over 50 years. We’re a family operation—Ray and his son work on-site, not from an office somewhere.
You’ll get someone who answers the phone. Every time. Even at 3 a.m. when a pipe freezes in January, which happens more than you’d think on Long Island.
We focus on the bigger projects: full kitchen and bathroom remodels, first-floor renovations, dormers, extensions. The kind of work where you need someone who can manage the entire build from demo to final inspection. Garden City homeowners deal with enough—competitive contractors, weather delays, town-specific permitting. We handle it so you don’t have to.
First, we walk through your home and talk about what’s not working. You tell us what needs to change, we assess the structure, and we map out a realistic plan that addresses everything at once.
Then we handle design and planning. If permits are needed, we manage that process—Garden City has its own requirements, and we know what the town expects. We coordinate inspections, order materials that can handle Long Island winters, and schedule the work to minimize how long you’re living in a construction zone.
During construction, you’ll see us on-site. We’re not the kind of contractor who disappears after demo. Our crews keep the job site clean daily, and we’re available by phone or text whenever you have questions.
We set a timeline and stick to it. You’ll know when we’re starting, what’s happening each week, and when you can expect to use your kitchen again. No guessing, no excuses.

A full house renovation covers the systems and spaces that matter most. That means kitchen remodels with updated layouts, new cabinets, countertops, and appliances that actually fit how you cook. Bathroom renovations that fix old plumbing, improve function, and give you a space that works in the morning rush.
We handle first-floor renovations that open up walls, reconfigure layouts, and create flow between rooms. If you need more space, we build dormers and extensions that match your existing home. Electrical gets updated to handle modern loads. Plumbing gets replaced before it becomes an emergency. Insulation improves so your heating bills drop.
In Garden City, where the median home value sits above $1 million and most houses were built before 1960, these updates aren’t optional—they’re necessary. You’re protecting your investment and making your home livable for the next few decades.
We also handle roofing, siding, windows, and flooring as part of the larger project. The goal is simple: you deal with construction once, and everything gets fixed right.
Most full house renovations take between three and six months, depending on the scope. A kitchen and two bathrooms might take three months. Add a first-floor reconfiguration or dormer, and you’re looking at closer to six.
Weather affects the timeline more than people expect. Long Island winters slow down exterior work—materials take longer to deliver when roads are bad, paint needs warmer temps to cure properly, and nobody wants windows open during a February cold snap. We schedule around that.
The other factor is permitting. Some projects don’t require permits, which speeds things up. Others need town approval, and Garden City has its own process. We handle that, but it adds time upfront. Once we assess your project, we’ll give you a realistic timeline and hit it.
It depends on what’s being renovated. If we’re redoing your kitchen and one bathroom, and you have a second bathroom that works, most people stay. It’s not comfortable, but it’s doable for a few months.
If we’re gutting the first floor, updating all the plumbing, or doing work that shuts off water or power for extended periods, you’ll want to stay somewhere else. A lot of Garden City homeowners stay with family or rent short-term nearby.
We keep job sites as clean as possible and contain dust with barriers, but construction is still construction. You’ll have crews coming in early, tools running, and spaces that aren’t usable. We’ll walk you through what to expect during our initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.
A general contractor who does everything usually subcontracts most of the work. They coordinate, but they’re not doing the actual labor. That’s fine for small jobs, but on a whole house renovation, you want someone who’s on-site managing quality and solving problems in real time.
We’re a general contractor, but we specialize in large-scale residential projects. We handle the work ourselves—Ray and his son are on the job site daily. That means faster decisions, better quality control, and someone accountable when things need adjusting.
The contractors who do a little bit of everything—decking one week, a small roof repair the next—aren’t set up for the complexity of a full renovation. You need a team that understands how kitchen plumbing ties into your main line, how load-bearing walls affect your floor plan, and how to sequence work so you’re not waiting on one trade to finish before another can start.
There’s no honest way to give you a number without seeing your home. A kitchen and bathroom remodel might start around $80,000. Add a first-floor renovation, and you’re looking at $150,000 or more. Dormers, extensions, and structural changes push costs higher.
Garden City homes are older, which means you’re often dealing with outdated systems that need replacing, not just updating. That adds cost, but it also prevents bigger problems down the road. You don’t want to install a beautiful new kitchen only to have the plumbing fail six months later.
We give you a detailed estimate after walking through your home and understanding what you actually need. No surprises, no change orders unless you change the scope. And we stay within budget—our clients will tell you we finish on time and on the number we quoted.
It depends on what you’re doing. Cosmetic updates like new cabinets, countertops, flooring, and paint typically don’t require permits. But if you’re moving walls, changing plumbing or electrical, adding square footage, or doing structural work, you’ll need permits from the town.
Garden City handles its own permitting, and fees vary based on project cost. A renovation under $50,000 might cost $250 to permit. Projects between $50,000 and $100,000 run around $500. Larger projects cost more.
We manage the permit process for you. We know what the town requires, how to submit plans, and how to schedule inspections so they don’t delay your project. Some contractors avoid permitted work because it’s more hassle—we prefer it because it’s done right and protects you long-term.
Problems come up on every renovation—it’s how they get handled that matters. We might open a wall and find old wiring that’s not up to code, or discover plumbing that needs replacing before we can move forward.
When that happens, we call you immediately. We explain what we found, why it matters, and what it’ll take to fix it. You decide whether to address it now or leave it. No surprises on the final bill.
We’re also available when emergencies happen outside of construction. A pipe freezes at 3 a.m.? We answer. Something breaks on a weekend? We’re there. That level of availability isn’t standard, but it should be. You’re trusting us with your biggest investment—we take that seriously.
