NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Most Mastic homeowners aren’t looking for a magazine spread. You want a kitchen that functions better, holds up longer, and actually makes daily life easier. That’s the outcome we focus on not just what looks good on day one, but what still looks good five years from now in a home that sits close to the Great South Bay.
That matters in Mastic more than people realize. The humidity and salt air that come with living near the water aren’t just a seasonal inconvenience they accelerate wear on cabinet finishes, corrode hardware, and shorten the lifespan of materials that would hold up fine in an inland community. When we specify materials for your Mastic kitchen, we’re accounting for your actual environment, not pulling from a generic catalog.
And then there’s the financial side. Mastic home values hit a median of $568,000 in August 2025 up 20% year-over-year. A kitchen renovation that returns up to 113% ROI isn’t a luxury spend. It’s one of the smartest moves you can make to protect the equity you’ve built in this market, whether you’re planning to sell or planning to stay for another decade.
We were founded in 2012 and are based in Bohemia about 14 miles up Sunrise Highway from Mastic. That’s not a detail we throw in for marketing purposes. It means we operate under the same building codes, work with the same Town of Brookhaven Building Division, and understand the same coastal conditions that affect every home in Mastic and the surrounding area.
We’ve handled flood restoration and water damage repair throughout Mastic and Mastic Beach. We know what the Forge River does to surrounding properties after a hard storm. We know what’s typically inside the walls of a home built in the 1960s or ’70s on the South Shore. That background shapes how we approach every kitchen remodel we take on here because a remodel in a Mastic home isn’t always a straight line from demo to finish.
We’re also licensed for asbestos abatement, mold remediation, and environmental remediation in addition to our Home Improvement Contractor license. We’re New York State M/WBE certified. And we’ve built a reputation on showing up, communicating clearly, and finishing what we start.
It starts with a home visit. We come to you, look at the space, and have a real conversation about how you use your kitchen not just what you want it to look like, but how it needs to function for your household. From there, we build a full 3D design rendering so you can see the finished result before a single wall gets touched. You review it, request changes, and sign off when it’s right.
Once the design is locked, we handle the permit filing with the Town of Brookhaven Building Division. Kitchen remodels involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require a building permit and a final Certificate of Occupancy in Brookhaven and navigating that process takes time and familiarity. We’ve done it enough times that it doesn’t slow your project down.
Then comes the work itself. Demo, construction, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting all managed in-house, all under one point of contact. If we open a wall and find mold, water damage, or asbestos-containing materials which is a real possibility in Mastic’s older housing stock we don’t stop the project and hand you a subcontractor’s phone number. We handle it ourselves, with the licenses to do it legally, and we keep moving.

A kitchen remodel with us covers the full scope layout redesign, cabinet replacement or refacing, countertop installation, flooring, lighting, plumbing and electrical coordination, and finish work. There’s no handoff to a separate crew halfway through. The same team that designs your kitchen builds it, and the same company that pulls your Brookhaven permit sees the project through final inspection.
For Mastic homeowners specifically, we pay close attention to material selection. Coastal humidity is hard on kitchens. We steer you toward cabinet constructions, hardware finishes, and countertop materials that are matched to high-moisture environments not just what’s trending in a showroom. It’s a small decision that makes a meaningful difference in how long your kitchen holds up next to the water.
We also don’t treat environmental discoveries as someone else’s problem. Homes built before 1980 in Mastic commonly contain asbestos in original floor tiles, wall compounds, and pipe insulation. If demo reveals regulated materials, our licensed abatement team addresses it on-site. Same goes for mold or moisture intrusion both of which are common in homes near the Forge River and Great South Bay. You don’t lose weeks waiting for a separate contractor. The project keeps moving, and you stay informed every step of the way.
Yes and it’s not optional. Any kitchen renovation in Mastic that involves structural changes, plumbing modifications, or electrical work requires a building permit from the Town of Brookhaven Building Division. Brookhaven is the governing municipality for Mastic, and they enforce the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code on all residential alterations. Once the work is complete, a Certificate of Occupancy must be issued by the Chief Building Inspector before the project is considered legally finished.
Skipping the permit isn’t just a code violation it can create real problems when you go to sell the home. Buyers’ attorneys and inspectors routinely flag unpermitted work, and it can kill a deal or force a price reduction. We handle the entire permit process in-house, including filing, scheduling inspections, and coordinating with Brookhaven’s Building Division directly. You don’t have to make a single call to the town. We manage it from start to finish.
For most Mastic homeowners, a meaningful kitchen renovation falls somewhere in the $28,000–$50,000 range depending on scope, materials, and what’s discovered during demo. Local cost data from Homeyou puts the fair price range for kitchen remodeling in the Mastic area at roughly $27,994–$38,332. A full custom overhaul with high-end finishes can push well beyond that, while a focused cabinet and countertop refresh on a simpler layout can come in under $20,000.
What affects cost most in Mastic specifically is what’s behind the existing surfaces. Homes built in the 1960s and ’70s which make up a large portion of the local housing stock sometimes contain asbestos in original flooring or wall materials, aging plumbing that doesn’t meet current code, or moisture damage from years of coastal humidity exposure. If any of those are present, they need to be addressed before new finishes go in. A contractor who can handle that in-house rather than stopping to subcontract it keeps both your timeline and your budget more predictable. We’ll give you a clear, itemized estimate before any work begins.
It’s more common than most homeowners expect, especially in Mastic’s older housing stock. Pre-1980 homes frequently contain asbestos in original vinyl floor tiles, joint compounds, and pipe insulation materials that are harmless when intact but require licensed abatement when disturbed during demolition. Mold is also a real possibility in kitchens near exterior walls or above basements, given Mastic’s high water table and history of coastal flooding.
When a standard remodeling contractor finds these materials, the project typically stops. They call in a separate abatement or remediation company, you wait for availability and scheduling, and your timeline extends by weeks. We hold active licenses for both asbestos abatement and mold remediation. If we find something during demo, we handle it ourselves on-site, legally, without stopping your project. We let you know what was found, what it takes to address it, and how it affects the timeline. No surprises, no subcontractor delays, no starting over.
For a standard kitchen renovation, most homeowners should plan for four to eight weeks of active construction once permits are issued and materials are ordered. The design and permitting phase which happens before any demo begins typically adds two to four weeks on the front end. In Brookhaven Town, permit processing times can vary depending on the scope of the project and the Building Division’s current workload, so starting early matters.
A few things can extend that timeline in Mastic specifically. If demo reveals moisture damage, mold, or asbestos-containing materials, those need to be addressed before new construction begins. Material lead times for custom cabinetry can also add time depending on what you select. The best way to protect your timeline is to get the design finalized and the permit filed as early as possible and to work with a contractor who can handle unexpected discoveries in-house rather than waiting on a separate company. We’ll give you a realistic schedule at the start of your project, not an optimistic one that falls apart two weeks in.
Based on current market data, yes and the numbers make a strong case. Mastic home values reached a median sale price of $568,000 in August 2025, up 20% year-over-year according to Redfin. Minor kitchen renovations are returning up to 113% ROI nationally, and 54% of real estate agents recommend updating the kitchen before listing. In a market where your home’s value has risen this significantly, protecting and growing that equity through a well-executed kitchen remodel is a financially sound decision.
Even if selling isn’t on your radar right now, the daily quality-of-life return is real. A kitchen that functions better, holds up against the coastal humidity that comes with living near the Great South Bay, and actually reflects how your household uses the space that’s worth something beyond the resale math. Most Mastic homeowners who’ve been in their homes for years have been living with an outdated layout long enough. The question isn’t really whether it’s worth it. It’s whether now is the right time to stop putting it off.
The practical answer is that local knowledge directly affects how your project goes. A contractor who regularly works in Mastic and the surrounding Brookhaven area already knows the permit process, already understands the building stock, and already has a sense of what to expect inside a South Shore home built fifty years ago. That familiarity isn’t just a soft benefit it affects scheduling, cost accuracy, and how smoothly the project runs when something unexpected comes up.
National remodeling companies often operate through local franchisees or subcontractor networks, which can mean less consistency and less accountability once the contract is signed. When you work with a Suffolk County-based contractor like us operating out of Bohemia, less than 15 miles from Mastic you’re dealing with a company that has real operational history in this area, knows the Town of Brookhaven Building Division by name, and has a local reputation worth protecting. That accountability doesn’t disappear after the contract is signed. It follows us to every project we take on in this community.
