What we build

Kitchens are the second-most-common project type we run after bathrooms, and the most coordination-heavy. Cabinetry lead times, appliance availability, gas-line permits, range-hood venting paths, and electrical loads all have to line up before demolition starts. We sequence the design phase so cabinetry orders go in early, demo is timed to delivery, and the kitchen comes back online without a four-week appliance-stranded gap in the middle.

Kitchen services we offer

Full kitchen gut renovations

Down to the studs. New layout, new plumbing, new gas, new electrical, new range-hood venting. Full custom or semi-custom cabinetry, slab countertops, integrated appliances, statement lighting, and tile or stone backsplash. 10 to 14 weeks once demo starts.

Layout reconfigurations

Removing a wall to open a galley to the living room. Adding a peninsula or island where there wasn’t one. Relocating the sink to a window. Layout work usually requires a DOB filing if structural — we handle the engineering coordination, the filing, and the inspection.

Cabinetry refreshes

Cabinets in good shape, but the doors and drawer fronts are dated. Re-door, re-drawer-front, new hardware, new countertops, new backsplash. The carcasses stay; everything visible changes. 4 to 7 weeks, depending on door lead time.

Countertop and backsplash replacements

Single-element kitchen work. Slab quartz, marble, or solid surface countertops. Hand-laid mosaic or large-format tile backsplash. Templated, fabricated, and installed in a 2 to 4 week window.

Pantry and butler’s pantry builds

Walk-in pantries, butler’s pantries with prep sinks, and integrated coffee stations. Often paired with a kitchen gut renovation; sometimes built as standalone scope when the kitchen itself is fine.

Smart kitchen integrations

Wifi-connected appliances, integrated charging stations, app-controlled lighting scenes, and pre-wired audio. Outlets and low-voltage runs planned during electrical rough-in.

How a kitchen remodel runs

Same four-step process as every project — but kitchens have a longer design phase because the cabinetry order has to go in 8 to 12 weeks before demo.

  1. Free consultation. On site or by video. We measure, photograph, and walk through scope, layout ideas, and cabinetry direction.
  2. Design and written line-item proposal. Floor plan, elevations, cabinetry layout, appliance spec, finish selections in three tiers, written quote.
  3. Cabinetry order placed. While the cabinetry is in fabrication, we file permits and coordinate appliance delivery.
  4. Build, walk-through, warranty. Demo, rough-in, drywall, tile and stone, cabinetry install, countertop template and install, appliance install, punch.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take in NYC?

An NYC kitchen remodel runs 8 to 14 weeks from demolition to final punch. Custom cabinetry alone often takes 8 to 12 weeks to fabricate, so we typically place the cabinetry order during the design phase and time demolition to match the delivery date. Co-op or condo work with alteration agreement approval can add 4 to 8 weeks to the front end.

Do you build custom cabinetry, or do you install stock?

Both. Full custom cabinetry is built by partner millwork shops we've worked with for years, drawn to your kitchen's exact dimensions and finished in your specified species and stain. Semi-custom and stock options come from manufacturers we've vetted on dozens of projects — Rutt, Christopher Peacock, Wood-Mode on the high end, plus several mid-range lines. We'll match the cabinetry tier to the rest of the build's budget.

Marble or quartz countertops — which one should I pick?

Marble looks like nothing else and ages with character — but it etches with acid (lemon, wine, vinegar) and is porous, so it needs sealing. Quartz is engineered, non-porous, stain-resistant, and consistent slab-to-slab — the lower-maintenance option, especially with kids. Most kitchens we build use slab quartz on the working surfaces and a marble waterfall island as the statement piece. We'll walk through the trade-offs on the consultation with real samples.

Can you relocate gas lines and add a range hood?

Yes. Gas relocations require a DOB permit in NYC; we file under our license and handle the inspection. Range hoods can be vented through the existing hood column (in pre-war buildings often the original servant chimney), through the exterior wall, or through the roof — depending on building type and what the local code allows. We confirm the venting path during the design phase, before cabinetry is ordered.

Do you handle the appliance coordination?

Yes. Once the appliances are spec'd, we coordinate delivery dates with the building, manage the staging area, install the appliances during the cabinetry phase, and handle warranty registration on every installed unit. If you're sourcing from a specific dealer (Sub-Zero / Wolf, Miele, Thermador), we work directly with their installation specialists where required.

Can I keep cooking during the remodel?

For a full kitchen gut, no — once the gas is capped and the cabinetry comes out, the kitchen is offline. Most homeowners set up a temporary kitchen in the dining room or a basement with a hot plate, microwave, and mini-fridge. For partial remodels (cabinet refresh, countertop swap, backsplash-only), we sequence the work to keep the sink and range running through most of the build.

Do you do kitchen remodels in co-ops and condos?

Yes. Co-op and condo kitchens come with the full alteration agreement package — drawings, insurance certificates, contractor disclosures — submitted to the building's managing agent or board. Approval typically takes 2 to 8 weeks. We've handled board approvals across most of the major Manhattan co-ops; we know what each managing agent expects.

Can you match my existing flooring or wall finishes?

We try. If your existing hardwood is on the original floor, we sand and refinish into the new kitchen footprint when possible — same species, same stain, blended at the seam. Where the original is unavailable (discontinued species, water-damaged sections), we'll spec the closest match and frame the transition naturally with a threshold or pattern change.
