Most contractors in Nassau County will tell you what you want to hear. Then they disappear for three days, don’t return your calls, and leave your driveway looking like a construction zone.
You’re not looking for the cheapest bid. You’re looking for someone who’ll actually finish your kitchen remodel before Thanksgiving or complete that first-floor renovation without turning your life upside down for six months.
That’s where the difference shows up. When you work with a general contractor who’s been doing this for over 50 years in Old Westbury, you get someone who knows how to manage a job site, coordinate subs, and keep things moving. Your project gets done when it’s supposed to, and you’re not chasing anyone down for updates.
We’ve been handling residential renovations across Nassau County since before most contractors were in business. That’s more than 50 years of kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, whole house projects, and everything in between.
Ray is on every job site. Not just for the walkthrough—he’s there working alongside the crew, making sure the details are right. When you call, someone picks up. When you text, you get a response. When your pipes freeze at 3 a.m. in January, you’re not left searching for an emergency plumber.
Old Westbury homeowners know what quality work costs. With a median home value of $1.7 million and monthly housing costs around $4,000, you’re not cutting corners on your biggest investment. You want a contractor who understands that and delivers accordingly.
First, you call and actually talk to someone. No voicemail runaround. You explain what you’re looking to do—whether that’s a full kitchen and bathroom remodel, a first-floor renovation, adding a dormer, or extending your home—and we schedule a time to walk the property.
During that walkthrough, Ray looks at the scope of work, asks questions about what you’re trying to accomplish, and gives you a realistic assessment of timeline and cost. If the project doesn’t require permits, even better. That speeds things up and cuts through red tape.
Once you’re ready to move forward, the crew shows up on schedule. The job site stays clean—every single day. You’re not stepping over debris or wondering if your neighbors are judging you. And if something comes up mid-project, you hear about it immediately, not two weeks later when it’s already a problem.
When the work is done, it’s done right. No callbacks for sloppy trim work or cabinets that don’t close properly.
Ready to get started?
You get a general contractor who specializes in large-scale residential work. That means kitchen and bathroom remodeling, first-floor renovations, dormers, extensions, and full home renovations. If you’re planning something that changes how your home functions or looks, that’s the wheelhouse.
Old Westbury homes aren’t starter properties. With 93.3% owner-occupied housing and household incomes averaging over $440,000, homeowners here expect a certain standard. You’re not hiring someone to slap together a quick fix. You’re investing in a renovation that increases your property value and makes your daily life better.
Our crew is professional. They’re not blasting music, smoking on your property, or showing up whenever they feel like it. The site stays organized, materials are stored properly, and at the end of each day, everything is cleaned up.
You also get emergency response when you need it. Long Island winters are brutal, and when temperatures drop into single digits for days, frozen pipes become a real threat. If that happens, you’re not stuck waiting until Monday morning for someone to call you back.
There’s no one-size-fits-all number, because every kitchen is different. The size of the space, the materials you choose, whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines, and how much structural work is involved all affect the final cost.
That said, Old Westbury isn’t a budget market. Most full kitchen remodels here start in the mid-five figures and go up from there, depending on finishes and scope. If you’re doing custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and stone countertops, expect to be on the higher end of that range.
The bigger issue isn’t the cost—it’s making sure you’re getting what you’re paying for. Plenty of contractors will give you a low bid and then nickel-and-dime you with change orders. We give you a realistic estimate upfront, so there are no surprises halfway through the project.
It depends on what you’re doing. Structural changes, additions, electrical work, and plumbing usually require permits in Nassau County. Cosmetic updates like painting, flooring, or swapping out fixtures typically don’t.
Here’s the thing: permits add time and cost to a project. You’re waiting for inspections, dealing with municipal schedules, and sometimes making changes to plans because of code requirements. If your project can be done without permits, that’s often the faster, simpler route.
That said, if permits are required, you do it right. Skipping permits on work that needs them can cause major headaches down the road when you go to sell or refinance. We know which projects need permits and which don’t, and we’ll be upfront about it from the start.
A straightforward bathroom remodel usually takes two to three weeks. That’s assuming you’re replacing fixtures, retiling, updating vanity and lighting, and maybe moving some plumbing around. If you’re doing a complete gut job or dealing with unexpected issues like water damage or outdated wiring, it can stretch longer.
The timeline also depends on how quickly materials arrive and whether you’ve made all your selections before the project starts. If you’re still choosing tile three days into demolition, that slows everything down.
The key is working with a contractor who manages the schedule tightly. That means coordinating plumbers, electricians, tile setters, and everyone else so there’s no downtime. When the crew shows up every day and keeps things moving, a three-week bathroom remodel actually takes three weeks—not six.
First, make sure they’re licensed and insured. In Nassau County, that’s non-negotiable. You want to see proof of both before anyone starts work on your property.
Second, look at how they communicate. Do they answer the phone? Do they respond to texts and emails within a reasonable timeframe? If you can’t get ahold of someone during the sales process, it’s not going to get better once the job starts.
Third, ask about their process. How do they handle scheduling? Who manages the job site? What happens if something unexpected comes up? A contractor who’s been doing this for decades will have clear answers. Someone who’s winging it won’t. Also, check their track record. Not just online reviews, but actual projects they’ve completed in your area. Old Westbury homes have specific standards, and you want someone who’s worked on properties like yours before.
Yes. When temperatures drop into single digits and stay there for days, frozen pipes are one of the most common emergencies Long Island homeowners face. If a pipe bursts, you’re looking at serious water damage, and every minute counts.
We offer 24/7 emergency response. That means if your pipes freeze at 3 a.m., you can call and get someone on the phone—not a voicemail, not an answering service. Someone who can actually help.
Winter emergencies are unpredictable, but having a contractor who’s available when you need them makes a huge difference. Most homeowners don’t think about this until it happens, and by then it’s too late to start researching who to call. If you’re already working with a reliable general contractor for your renovation projects, you’ve got someone you can count on when things go wrong.
Yes. We cover all of Nassau and Suffolk County. Old Westbury is part of our core service area, but we handle projects throughout Long Island regularly.
The focus is on residential renovations—kitchens, bathrooms, first-floor remodels, dormers, extensions, and whole house renovations. If you’re in a neighboring town and need a general contractor for a large-scale project, the same standards apply. Professional crews, clean job sites, clear communication, and work that’s done right.
Location matters less than the scope of the project. If it’s a substantial home improvement job and you want a contractor who’s been doing this for 50+ years, that’s the right fit regardless of whether you’re in Old Westbury, Oyster Bay, or anywhere else on Long Island.
