You know what’s broken. The cabinets that don’t close right. The counter space that disappears the second you start cooking. The appliances you can’t reach without a step stool.
A proper kitchen remodel fixes the layout problems that make cooking feel like a chore. You get drawers that actually organize your tools. Counter space where you need it. Cabinets designed around how you use your kitchen, not how someone in 1961 thought you should.
Most Sands Point homeowners are dealing with kitchens that haven’t been touched in decades. The bones are good, but the function isn’t there anymore. When we redesign your space, you’re not just getting new cabinets—you’re getting a kitchen that makes meal prep faster, cleanup easier, and entertaining something you actually want to do.
We’ve been handling kitchen renovations on Long Island for over 50 years. That’s not a marketing line—it’s decades of showing up, answering the phone, and finishing what we start.
Ray is on every job site. Not just at the beginning for a handshake, but throughout the project, making sure the work matches what you were promised. Most of our business comes from referrals, and several clients have called us back three or four times for different projects around their homes.
We’re based in Wantagh and work throughout Nassau County, including Sands Point and the Port Washington area. If you call at 3 AM because a pipe froze, someone picks up. If you text with a question mid-project, you get an answer. That’s just how we operate.
You call or text, and we actually respond. We schedule a time to walk through your kitchen and talk about what’s not working. Ray asks questions about how you use the space, what’s driving you crazy, and what you’re hoping to get out of the remodel.
From there, we map out the project. If permits are needed, we handle them. If your layout needs a complete rethink, we work through options that fit your budget. You’ll know the timeline upfront—most kitchen renovations take between six and ten weeks, depending on scope.
During the work, our crews keep the site clean. You’re not coming home to a disaster zone every night. Ray checks in regularly to make sure everything is on track, and if something needs adjusting, you hear about it before it becomes a problem. Once we’re done, we walk through everything together. If something needs a tweak weeks later, we come back. That’s it.

A full kitchen remodel means rethinking the entire space. We handle everything from layout redesign to new cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, and appliance installation. If your kitchen needs plumbing or electrical work to support the new design, that’s part of it too.
In Sands Point, where most homes were built in the early 1960s, we’re often working with solid structures that just need modern functionality. That means opening up cramped layouts, adding storage where there wasn’t any, and upgrading materials to match the quality of the rest of your home. You’re looking at investments typically ranging from $40,000 to $100,000+, depending on the size of your kitchen and the finishes you choose.
We also coordinate everything. You’re not calling five different contractors to schedule around each other. One point of contact, one timeline, one team that shows up when they say they will. The goal is a kitchen that works better and looks like it belongs in a home worth $2 million—because it does.
Most kitchen renovations take six to ten weeks from start to finish. That includes demolition, any structural changes, installation of cabinets and countertops, plumbing and electrical work, and final touches like backsplash and hardware.
The timeline depends on the scope of your project. If you’re doing a complete layout change with new plumbing and electrical, expect closer to ten weeks. If you’re keeping the same footprint and upgrading finishes, six to eight weeks is more realistic.
Weather can affect things slightly—Long Island winters sometimes slow down material deliveries or create issues like frozen pipes that need addressing. But we build buffer time into the schedule and keep you updated if anything shifts. You’ll know the timeline before we start, and we stick to it.
In Sands Point, you’re typically looking at $40,000 to $100,000+ for a full kitchen remodel. That range depends on the size of your kitchen, the materials you choose, and how much structural work is involved.
A mid-range remodel with quality cabinets, quartz or granite countertops, new appliances, and updated flooring usually falls in the $50,000 to $75,000 range. If you’re doing a high-end renovation with custom cabinetry, premium stone, and significant layout changes, you’re closer to $100,000 or more.
The good news is that kitchen remodels offer strong returns—most recoup 65-75% of the investment when you sell. But more importantly, you’re fixing the daily frustrations that make your kitchen hard to use. We walk through your budget upfront and design around what makes sense for your home and your goals.
It depends on what you’re changing. If you’re moving plumbing, gas lines, or doing structural work like removing walls, yes—you need permits. If you’re replacing cabinets, countertops, and flooring without touching the layout, often no.
We handle the permit process if your project requires it. That includes submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and making sure everything meets Nassau County building codes. It adds a bit of time to the project upfront, but it protects you down the line, especially when it comes to resale or insurance.
For projects that don’t need permits, we move faster. Either way, you’ll know what’s required before we start, and we make sure it’s done right so you don’t have issues later.
We handle kitchen design as part of the remodeling process. Ray walks through your space, asks about how you use your kitchen, and works with you to create a layout that solves your specific problems—whether that’s more counter space, better storage, or a more efficient workflow.
If you already have a design from an interior designer or architect, we can work from those plans. If you’re starting from scratch, we guide you through layout options, material selections, and what makes sense for your budget and your home.
The goal is a kitchen that functions better, not just one that looks good in photos. We focus on practical improvements—like adding a pantry where there wasn’t one, or repositioning your sink so you’re not constantly in the way when someone else is cooking. You get a design that works for how you actually live.
Not really, no. During a full kitchen remodel, you won’t have access to your sink, stove, or most of your counter space for several weeks. Most homeowners set up a temporary kitchen in another room—microwave, coffee maker, mini fridge—and plan on eating out more than usual.
We do everything we can to minimize the disruption. Our crews clean up at the end of each day so you’re not living in a construction zone. We also try to get major dust-generating work done early in the project and keep pathways clear so you can still move through your home.
The timeline matters here. Knowing that you’re looking at six to ten weeks helps you plan around it. Some clients schedule their renovation during a time when they’re traveling more. Others just accept that it’s temporary and focus on the fact that they’ll have a kitchen that actually works when it’s done.
If you’re constantly running into someone else while cooking, or you never have enough counter space, or your cabinets are so poorly organized that you can’t find anything—your layout probably needs work. New finishes make things look better, but they don’t fix functional problems.
Most kitchens built in the 1960s weren’t designed for how people cook today. You’ve got small counters, limited storage, and appliances in spots that don’t make sense. A layout change might mean moving your sink closer to your dishwasher, adding an island for more prep space, or reconfiguring cabinets so you’re not reaching over the stove to grab a pot.
When Ray walks through your kitchen, he’ll point out what’s causing your biggest headaches and whether a layout change makes sense for your budget. Sometimes it’s worth it. Sometimes you can solve 80% of your problems with better cabinetry and smarter storage. We’ll talk through both options so you can decide what’s right for your home.
