Do I need a DOB permit to remodel my kitchen in NYC?

It depends. If you are just replacing cabinets and counters (Direct Replacement), usually no. If you are moving plumbing lines, gas lines, or knocking down walls, a DOB permit is required. We handle all filings.

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

A 'Foundation' facelift takes 3-5 days. A 'Premium' remodel takes 2-3 weeks. A full 'Signature' gut renovation usually takes 4-6 weeks depending on custom cabinet fabrication time.

Do you sell the cabinets or do I buy them?

Both! We have partnerships with local suppliers for semi-custom cabinets, or we can install IKEA/Home Depot cabinets that you purchase yourself. We are flexible.
