NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
The kitchens in Huntington Station’s older ranches and Cape Cods weren’t designed for the way people actually cook, entertain, or move through a home today. Closed off from the living room, short on counter space, outdated cabinetry that’s been repainted one too many times you know the list. A properly executed kitchen renovation changes all of that, and it adds real, measurable value to a home that’s already appreciating fast. Median sold prices in Huntington Station have crossed $660,000 and climbed over 16% in the past year. That’s not a coincidence it’s a market telling you that investment in this home pays off.
What most contractors won’t tell you is that opening the walls in a pre-1960 home often surfaces things that have nothing to do with cabinetry. Outdated wiring, galvanized pipes, moisture damage, or materials that require licensed remediation before the project can move forward. For a lot of remodelers, that’s a full stop they call someone else, the project stalls, and your timeline falls apart. Because we handle environmental remediation in-house, that scenario just becomes the next step in the job. No delays, no strangers on your property, no renegotiating the scope mid-project.
The result is a kitchen that actually reflects what you wanted modern layout, functional storage, materials built to last without the chaos that tends to follow older Long Island homes into renovation.
We’ve been working in Huntington Station and throughout Suffolk County since 2012. That’s over a decade of navigating Town of Huntington permit requirements, working inside the mid-century housing stock that defines neighborhoods all along the Route 110 corridor, and building a track record that now spans more than 5,000 completed projects across New York State.
We hold a Home Improvement Contractor license, five additional licenses covering the full scope of our work, Workers’ Compensation coverage, IICRC certification, and a New York State M/WBE certification a government-issued credential that requires formal vetting, not just a membership application. Every credential is publicly verifiable. That matters when you’re inviting a crew into your home and trusting them with a project this size.
What actually sets us apart for Huntington Station homeowners is the combination of design-build capability and in-house remediation licensing. No other kitchen remodeler serving this area can say that. When you’re working in homes built before 1960 which describes most of what we see in Huntington Station that combination isn’t a bonus feature. It’s the difference between a smooth project and a nightmare.
It starts with a consultation where the focus is on your kitchen your layout, your frustrations with the current space, what you actually want out of the renovation. From there, we build a 3D design model of your finished kitchen. Not a rough sketch, not a mood board a photorealistic rendering of your actual space, with the materials and layout you’ve chosen. You review it, request changes, and sign off before any construction begins. For homeowners in Huntington Station who are working with the compact footprints common in ranches and hi-ranches, this step is where the layout decisions get made without any costly mid-project pivots.
Once design is approved, we handle the Town of Huntington building permit process entirely. That means preparing the application, coordinating with a licensed land surveyor if needed, submitting construction drawings, and managing all communication with the building department. If you’ve ever tried to navigate the Town of Huntington’s permit requirements on your own, you know this step alone is worth having a professional handle it.
Demolition comes next, and this is where our background in environmental remediation becomes directly relevant. If asbestos-containing materials, mold, or water damage are found which happens regularly in homes built before 1960 we handle it in-house and keep the project moving. From there, it’s construction, installation, inspections, and final walkthrough. One company, start to finish.

A kitchen remodel with us covers the full scope design, demolition, structural work, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, and final finishes. If your home is one of the many in Huntington Station built in the 1940s or 1950s, the electrical panel and kitchen circuits almost certainly don’t meet current code requirements for modern appliances. That gets addressed as part of the project, not flagged as a separate job you have to coordinate on your own.
Cabinetry and countertop selections are made during the design phase, with options ranging from semi-custom to fully custom depending on your layout and budget. Most Huntington Station kitchen remodels fall somewhere in the $30,000 to $80,000 range depending on scope, materials, and what surfaces during demo and you’ll know your number before work begins, not after. The 3D design approval process exists specifically to prevent the “this isn’t what I pictured” conversation at the end of a project.
If your renovation involves removing a wall to open the kitchen to the living or dining area a common ask in the closed-off floor plans of mid-century Long Island homes we assess load-bearing conditions during the design phase and handle the structural work as part of the build. Everything that touches your kitchen goes through one company, one schedule, and one point of contact.
Yes, in most cases. If your kitchen renovation involves any structural changes like removing a wall or includes electrical upgrades, plumbing modifications, or new gas lines, a building permit is required through the Town of Huntington Building Department. This applies to any home in Huntington Station, regardless of how minor the work might seem on the surface.
The permit application itself requires notarized owner signatures, a licensed land surveyor’s survey, detailed construction drawings, a Certificate of Workers’ Compensation, and a copy of your contractor’s Suffolk County Home Improvement Contractor license. That’s a significant documentation package, and incomplete applications get rejected which delays your project. We manage the entire permit process, prepare all required documentation, and coordinate directly with Town of Huntington building inspectors so your project stays on schedule and passes inspection the first time.
For a mid-range kitchen renovation in Huntington Station, most homeowners are looking at somewhere between $30,000 and $80,000 depending on the scope of work, the materials selected, and what’s discovered during demolition. Full gut renovations with custom cabinetry and structural changes can exceed $100,000. Minor refreshes new countertops, cabinet refacing, updated fixtures can come in well under $30,000.
The variable that catches most Huntington Station homeowners off guard is what’s found inside the walls of older homes. A pre-1960 Cape Cod or ranch may have undersized electrical service, galvanized supply pipes, or materials that require remediation before new work can begin. These aren’t rare surprises in this housing market they’re common enough that any honest contractor will factor the possibility into how they scope the project. We provide a detailed quote before work begins and handle any discoveries in-house, so your final number doesn’t balloon because of something found mid-demo.
In a Huntington Station home built before 1980 which describes the majority of the housing stock here asbestos-containing materials are a real possibility. They show up most commonly in vinyl floor tiles, pipe insulation, ceiling tiles, and joint compound. If a contractor without remediation licensing finds asbestos during demo, they’re legally required to stop work, clear the site, and bring in a licensed abatement company before anything can continue. That means project delays, additional costs, and a gap in your timeline that can stretch for days or weeks.
We hold asbestos abatement licensing and handle remediation entirely in-house. When asbestos is identified during your kitchen demo, it becomes the next step in the project not a separate crisis. The work is done by our team, under the same project timeline, without stopping construction or bringing outside contractors into your home. For homeowners in Huntington Station’s older neighborhoods, this isn’t a theoretical scenario. It comes up regularly, and having a contractor who can handle it without missing a beat is genuinely valuable.
A standard mid-range kitchen renovation typically takes between six and twelve weeks from the start of construction, depending on the scope of work and material lead times. That timeline doesn’t include the design and permitting phase, which can add several weeks on the front end particularly when working through the Town of Huntington’s building department, which requires detailed documentation before a permit is issued.
For homeowners in Huntington Station who commute into New York City via the LIRR, timeline reliability matters as much as the timeline itself. You’re not home during the day to manage the crew, answer questions, or catch problems in real time. We operate with a structured project schedule and communicate proactively throughout the build so you’re not coming home from Penn Station wondering whether anyone showed up. Milestones are set at the start, progress is tracked against them, and you’re kept informed without having to chase anyone down for updates.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common requests in Huntington Station renovations. The closed-off kitchen layout that was standard in 1940s and 1950s construction separated from the dining room and living area by a full wall doesn’t match the way most households use their homes today. Opening that wall creates the flow that modern buyers and homeowners actually want, and it’s one of the highest-impact changes you can make in a mid-century ranch or Cape Cod.
The key question is whether the wall is load-bearing. In older Long Island homes, this isn’t always obvious from the floor plan, and getting it wrong has serious structural consequences. We assess load-bearing conditions during the design phase, before any permits are pulled or demo begins. If the wall is structural, the solution typically involves installing a properly sized beam which is engineered, permitted, and built into the project scope from the start. You’ll see exactly how the open layout looks in the 3D design rendering before a single wall comes down.
Given where the Huntington Station market is right now, the answer is usually yes but the scope matters. Median sold prices have climbed past $660,000 and appreciation has been running above 16% year over year. In a market moving that fast, a dated kitchen can be the single factor that drives buyers to a comparable home or forces a price reduction. Minor kitchen renovations are currently delivering up to 113% ROI nationally, and more than half of real estate agents recommend a kitchen upgrade before listing.
The most effective pre-sale kitchen remodel in Huntington Station isn’t necessarily a full gut renovation. Updated cabinetry, new countertops, modern fixtures, and a fresh layout can dramatically change how a buyer perceives the home without requiring a six-figure investment. The important thing is working with a contractor who can execute quickly and cleanly because you have a listing timeline to hit. We handle design, permits, and construction under one roof, which cuts the coordination time significantly compared to managing multiple contractors across trades.
