NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Most of the homes in North Amityville were built between the 1950s and 1970s. That’s not a problem but it does mean your kitchen has likely never had a real update, and the walls around it may be holding more than drywall. Outdated layouts, worn cabinetry, cramped storage, and aging plumbing are the norm in homes of this era. A proper kitchen remodel fixes all of that and when it’s done right, it changes how your entire home feels to live in.
With 38.6% of households here raising children under 18, kitchens in North Amityville aren’t decorative spaces. They’re workhorses. You need a layout that moves, storage that makes sense, and materials that hold up through years of real use not something that looks great in a showroom but starts showing wear in two South Shore summers. The Great South Bay sits just a few miles south, and the humidity that comes with it is real. Cabinet construction and finish choices matter here in ways they simply don’t in drier climates.
When you invest in a kitchen remodel, you’re also investing in your equity. Minor kitchen renovations are returning up to 113% ROI in 2025, and over half of realtors specifically recommend a kitchen upgrade before listing. North Amityville property values have been climbing and a well-executed kitchen renovation is one of the clearest ways to protect and grow what you’ve built here.
We’ve been operating out of Bohemia, NY since 2012 Suffolk County, same as North Amityville. Over 5,000 completed projects across New York State. We’re licensed through Nassau County as a Home Improvement Contractor, which matters because North Amityville sits right at the Nassau-Suffolk county line and the permitting landscape on both sides is something we know well.
What sets us apart from the kitchen-only remodelers you’ll find when you search isn’t just the credentials it’s what those credentials mean for your specific project. We hold active asbestos abatement licensing and environmental remediation certifications. When demo begins in a home built in 1962 off Bethpage Road and something unexpected turns up behind the tile or inside the walls, we don’t stop the job and call a subcontractor. We handle it, under the same contract, without blowing up your timeline.
We’re also a New York State certified M/WBE business. In a community with the history and values North Amityville carries, that’s not a footnote it’s part of who we are.
It starts with a home visit. We come to your North Amityville home, look at your actual kitchen, take measurements, and ask the questions that matter how you cook, who uses the space, what drives you crazy about the current layout, what you’ve been thinking about changing. You don’t need a design board or a plan walking in. You just need to show us the kitchen.
From there, we build a 3D rendering of your finished kitchen before any demolition begins. You see exactly what you’re getting the cabinet layout, the countertop, the flow of the space and you approve it before we pick up a single tool. For homes in North Amityville, we also factor in what we’re likely to find once walls open. Pre-1980 construction means we test for asbestos before demo and follow EPA lead-safe work practices throughout. This isn’t a detour it’s just part of how a responsible remodel gets done in homes of this age.
Once the design is locked and permits are filed with the Town of Babylon Building Department which we handle on your behalf construction begins. We coordinate every phase in-house: demo, remediation if needed, framing, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, and flooring. When the final inspection clears, you get a finished kitchen with proper documentation and no loose ends.

A full kitchen remodel with us covers everything from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough. That means 3D design modeling, permit procurement through the Town of Babylon, demolition, environmental testing and abatement if required, structural work, new cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and full coordination of electrical and plumbing updates. You’re not managing multiple contractors or chasing down a permit yourself that’s our job.
For North Amityville homeowners specifically, the environmental piece is worth understanding before you sign anything with anyone. Homes built before 1980 which describes the majority of the residential housing stock in this hamlet commonly contain asbestos in 9×9 vinyl floor tiles, pipe insulation, and joint compound. They also carry lead paint in the layers beneath the kitchen walls. New York State requires licensed abatement for disturbed asbestos-containing materials, and EPA RRP rules govern lead-safe work practices on pre-1978 homes. We’re licensed and certified for both. Most kitchen remodelers you’ll find searching locally are not.
If your project is more focused cabinet refacing, countertop replacement, or a targeted kitchen cabinet remodel without full structural changes we handle those too. We’ll tell you honestly what scope makes sense for your home and your goals, and we’ll put it in writing before any work begins.
Yes for anything beyond purely cosmetic work, you’ll need a permit from the Town of Babylon Building Department. North Amityville is an unincorporated hamlet, which means there’s no village building department here the way there is in the Village of Amityville next door. Your permits come from the Town of Babylon directly, and that’s a distinction that trips up homeowners who’ve had work done in the village and assume the process is the same.
Permits are required any time the project involves structural changes removing or relocating walls, converting to an open-concept layout, adding an island as well as electrical work, plumbing relocation, or gas line modifications. Replacing countertops in place or swapping out cabinet doors without moving anything typically doesn’t require a permit. But most full kitchen renovations will. We handle the entire permit process on your behalf, including coordinating with inspectors at each required stage and securing the final certificate of compliance. That documentation protects you if you ever sell.
The range is genuinely wide, which is why anyone who gives you a number before seeing your kitchen isn’t giving you a real answer. For context, the average kitchen remodel in New York runs around $27,765 but that number shifts significantly based on the scope of work, the materials you choose, and what’s found once demo begins.
In North Amityville specifically, the age of the housing stock adds a layer that affects cost. If your home was built before 1980 and the kitchen has original flooring or walls that haven’t been touched, there’s a real possibility of asbestos-containing materials or lead paint that need to be addressed before construction can proceed. That work is regulated, requires licensed contractors, and adds to the project cost but it’s not optional, and any contractor who skips it is putting you at legal and financial risk. We price this transparently and in writing before any work begins, so you’re not hit with surprises mid-project.
If testing confirms asbestos-containing materials which is a real possibility in any North Amityville home built before 1980 work stops on that area until licensed abatement is completed. New York State requires that the removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials be performed by a licensed abatement contractor. This is not something a general contractor can handle on the side.
The reason this matters so much for homeowners in North Amityville is that the housing stock here is predominantly mid-century construction. Nine-by-nine vinyl floor tiles from that era are one of the most common asbestos sources in Long Island kitchens. Joint compound and pipe insulation are others. We hold active asbestos abatement licensing we don’t subcontract this out or pause your project while a second company gets scheduled. We test before demo begins, and if abatement is needed, we handle it in-house under the same contract. Your timeline stays intact, and you’re not managing two separate companies through a stressful situation.
For a full kitchen renovation new layout, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, electrical, and plumbing you’re typically looking at four to eight weeks of active construction once permits are approved and materials are on order. The permit process through the Town of Babylon adds time upfront, and material lead times vary depending on what you select. Realistically, from the day you sign a contract to the day you’re cooking in your new kitchen, most projects run two to four months when you account for design finalization, permitting, and construction.
The most common cause of delays in North Amityville kitchen remodels isn’t the construction itself it’s discovering something unexpected during demo that wasn’t anticipated. Asbestos testing, mold remediation, or outdated electrical panels that need upgrading before new circuits can be added are all things that can extend a timeline if they’re not planned for. We build contingency into our project schedules and communicate clearly at every stage, so you’re never in the dark about where your project stands.
The data supports it strongly. Minor kitchen renovations are returning up to 113% ROI in 2025, and 54% of realtors recommend a kitchen upgrade before listing a home for sale. On the South Shore of Long Island, where buyer competition has remained active and North Amityville household incomes have risen sharply, an updated kitchen can meaningfully shorten your time on market and strengthen your asking price.
The caveat is scope. A $60,000 custom kitchen in a neighborhood where comparable homes sell for $450,000 is harder to recoup than a well-executed $25,000 renovation that modernizes the layout, updates the cabinetry, and replaces aging surfaces. We’ll give you an honest read on what makes financial sense for your specific home and your goals not just what’s the most expensive option. If you’re planning to list within the next one to two years, the conversation about what to invest and where to spend it is one worth having before you start.
Because in a hamlet where most of the homes were built between 1950 and 1975, a kitchen remodel is rarely just a kitchen remodel once the walls open. The families who settled in North Amityville during the postwar decades built a community in homes that are now 60 to 70 years old. Those homes have character and history and they also have aging infrastructure, materials that were standard at the time but are now regulated, and decades of layered construction that a contractor needs to be prepared to navigate.
A kitchen-only remodeler who isn’t licensed for asbestos abatement or lead-safe work will either skip the testing which puts you at legal risk or stop the job and bring in a second company, which adds cost and delays. We hold environmental remediation licensing it’s not a bonus feature. For North Amityville homeowners, it’s the practical difference between a project that runs smoothly and one that stalls the moment something unexpected turns up. You shouldn’t have to manage that situation. We handle it so you don’t have to.
