Thinking about a kitchen remodel in Nassau County? Here's how to find the right showroom, what to look for when you get there, and what to do next.
Most Nassau County homeowners start their kitchen remodel the same way — they get frustrated enough to do something about it, then spend a weekend Googling contractors and prices without really knowing what they want yet. That sequence tends to lead to sticker shock, vague quotes, and a lot of wasted time. Visiting a kitchen showroom first changes the whole dynamic. You walk in not knowing what you want and walk out with a clear sense of style, a realistic feel for material costs, and the vocabulary to have a productive conversation with a contractor. This guide covers where to go in Nassau County, what to look for, and how the whole process fits together.
Nassau County has no shortage of kitchen showrooms, but they vary enormously in size, focus, and what they actually offer. Some carry hundreds of full-size kitchen displays you can walk through and open drawers in. Others are smaller design studios with more personalized attention. A few specialize in luxury European imports; others are built around faster lead times and mid-range value. Knowing what each one is known for before you drive there saves a lot of time.
What follows is a curated look at the showrooms and cabinet dealers serving Nassau County and western Suffolk County — organized by area so you can find what’s closest to you and plan your visits accordingly.
**Showcase Kitchens** has two Nassau County locations — Manhasset and Massapequa — and traces its roots back to 1933. That kind of longevity on Long Island means something. They focus on custom and semi-custom cabinetry at the higher end of the market, and their showrooms reflect that. If you’re planning a full gut renovation and want to see what a well-executed, design-forward kitchen actually looks like at scale, this is a good place to start.
**Wren Kitchens** operates a Massapequa showroom with 82 full kitchens on display — one of the largest physical footprints in Nassau County. That volume of displays is genuinely useful when you’re in the early stages of figuring out what you like. You can walk through layout after layout, open every cabinet, and start to develop real opinions about what works for your space and what doesn’t.
**Green Art Plumbing** runs a kitchen and bath showroom in Freeport that spans over 5,000 square feet. It covers Nassau County, Queens, and parts of New York City, and the showroom is stocked with fully functional displays — meaning you can actually interact with the hardware and fixtures, not just look at them behind glass. For homeowners in the southern part of Nassau County, it’s a convenient and well-stocked option.
**LI Home Zone** is based in Bethpage and focuses on contemporary kitchen designs. They’re licensed and insured in both Nassau and Suffolk County and tend to appeal to homeowners who want a cleaner, more modern aesthetic than what the older-school showrooms typically carry.
**PS of Nassau Inc**, located in Plainview, is an authorized Kitchen Craft Cabinetry dealer. If you’re specifically researching that brand or want to see their product line in person before committing, this is the place to do it in Nassau County.
**Rock Valley Cabinetry** takes a different approach — they operate a mobile showroom model and serve the North Shore communities of Locust Valley, Manhasset, and Brookville. If you’re in that corridor and prefer a more private, appointment-based experience over a large showroom floor, it’s worth knowing they exist.
**Consumers Kitchen & Bath** is the largest operation in the region by a significant margin. They’ve been in business since 1977 and operate five Long Island locations with a combined 60,000-plus square feet of showroom space and more than 650 full-size kitchen displays. Their East Meadow and Franklin Square locations serve Nassau directly; their Copiague and Commack locations serve western Suffolk. If you want sheer volume of options and the ability to compare dozens of styles side by side, this is where you go.
**Lakeville Kitchen & Bath**, now part of Riverhead Building Supply, has been operating since 1935 — the longest-tenured showroom in the market. Their Farmingdale location sits right on the Nassau-Suffolk border and is accessible from most parts of Nassau County. They offer virtual tours as well, which is useful for narrowing down your preferences before making the drive.
**Kitchen Designs by Ken Kelly** is positioned at the luxury end of the market and holds the distinction of being the top Wood-Mode dealer in New York State and one of the top dealers in the country. They also carry KraftMaid, which typically runs about a four-week lead time — significantly faster than custom or imported cabinetry. For homeowners who want high-quality cabinetry without a six-month wait, that’s a meaningful difference.
**LPS Direct** operates a 15,000-square-foot showroom on Route 110 in Farmingdale. They position themselves around not using subcontractors, which matters to homeowners who’ve had bad experiences with projects that involve too many different crews.
**Artisan Kitchens LI** has been operating for more than 30 years across Nassau and Suffolk, with additional reach into Manhattan and the broader tri-state area. Their staff includes certified kitchen and bath designers, which makes the consultation experience more substantive than what you’d get at a pure retail showroom.
**Think Kitchen** in Commack carries both European and American cabinet styles and offers free custom design consultations — a good option if you’re still in the early ideation phase and want professional input without a financial commitment.
**Commack Kitchen and Bath** is another Commack-area option, with over 15 years of experience, a price match guarantee, and cabinet pricing that tends to be competitive. Worth a visit if budget is a primary concern and you want to understand what’s available at different price points.
**German Kitchen Center** brings European import cabinetry to Long Island — a different aesthetic and construction approach than most domestic brands. If you’re drawn to the flat-front, handleless, high-gloss look that’s common in European design, this is the only Long Island showroom that specializes in it.

Here’s the thing most homeowners don’t realize: the showroom visit isn’t just about picking cabinets. It’s about figuring out what’s actually possible in your space, what materials cost at different quality levels, and how long you’ll need to wait for what you want. All of that information changes the conversation you’ll eventually have with a contractor — and it makes that conversation a lot more productive.
In Nassau County, where most homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s, kitchens were designed for a different era. Smaller footprints, limited storage, layouts that made sense when families cooked differently than they do now. Walking through a full-size showroom display of similar dimensions can help you see what’s actually possible within your existing square footage — before you’ve spent a dollar.
The single most useful thing you can do at a showroom is interact with everything. Open every drawer. Test every cabinet door. Ask whether the box construction is plywood or particleboard — that’s the primary quality dividing line in the cabinet industry, and it’s a question that will tell you immediately how seriously the showroom takes product quality.
Soft-close hinges and drawers are now considered baseline, not a premium feature. If a showroom is selling cabinets without them, that’s worth noting.
Ask about lead times before you get attached to anything. Semi-custom brands like KraftMaid typically run about four weeks. Custom or imported European cabinetry can run anywhere from twelve to twenty or more weeks. That difference matters enormously for your project timeline, especially if you’re planning around a specific date — a graduation party, a holiday, a home sale.
Ask whether the showroom offers installation, or whether they sell only. Most showrooms in Nassau County sell cabinets and provide design services — but they don’t build kitchens. That’s a separate conversation with a licensed general contractor, and it’s one you’ll need to have regardless of where you buy your cabinets. Some homeowners assume the showroom handles everything. They don’t, and knowing that upfront saves a lot of confusion later.
Finally, ask about designer support. Showrooms that employ certified kitchen and bath designers — you’ll sometimes see the credential listed as CKBD — offer a more substantive consultation than a showroom staffed primarily by salespeople. The difference shows up in the quality of the layout suggestions and the realism of the budget guidance you’ll receive.
Once you’ve visited a few showrooms, you’ll have something most homeowners don’t when they first start making contractor calls: a clear sense of what you want, a realistic feel for what materials cost, and an understanding of how long your cabinet order will take. That information makes every subsequent conversation sharper and faster.
Full kitchen remodels in Nassau County typically fall between $35,000 and $85,000 in 2026, depending on scope. A quote that comes in significantly below that range — say, under $25,000 for a full remodel — is a red flag worth taking seriously, not a deal to jump on. Nassau County labor costs track closer to New York City rates than to national averages, and the town-by-town permitting structure here — with each town running its own process through the Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay building departments — adds real complexity and cost that low-ball quotes tend to ignore.
There’s also the behind-the-walls reality that’s specific to Nassau County’s housing stock. Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s routinely have electrical panels that need upgrading, plumbing that needs rerouting, and occasionally structural modifications required to open up a wall. None of that shows up in a cabinet quote, and none of it is visible until demolition begins. A contractor who’s been working in Nassau County for decades knows to account for it — and will tell you upfront rather than presenting it as a surprise change order after the walls are open.
The sequence that tends to work best is: visit showrooms first, develop a clear sense of what you want and what it costs, then call a general contractor who can look at your specific home and give you a realistic number for the full scope of work — cabinets, countertops, layout changes, and everything behind the walls. That order of operations produces better outcomes than calling a contractor cold and asking them to quote a project you haven’t fully defined yet.
The showrooms on this list are a strong starting point. Visit two or three, interact with the displays, ask the hard questions about lead times and construction quality, and leave with a clearer picture of what you actually want. That clarity is worth more than most homeowners realize going in.
When you’re ready to talk to a contractor, look for someone who’s been working in Nassau County long enough to know the permitting landscape, understand the housing stock, and give you a realistic budget without hiding the variables. Responsiveness matters too — if a contractor doesn’t return your call during the estimate phase, that’s a preview of how the project will go.
