You wake up in a kitchen that actually works for your life. Counter space where you need it. Storage that makes sense. Appliances that fit your cooking style, not someone else’s idea of what a kitchen should be.
That’s what happens when your renovation is done right. No more working around awkward layouts or outdated systems. No more wishing you had more room to cook or entertain. Just a kitchen that feels like it was designed specifically for how you live.
The difference isn’t just in how it looks—it’s in how it functions every single day. When you’re preparing dinner, hosting friends, or just grabbing coffee in the morning, everything flows naturally because it was planned with your routines in mind.
Certified Contracting Services Inc has been serving Ossining homeowners for years, and we understand what makes renovations here unique. The older homes, the permit requirements, the building codes that differ from other areas—we navigate all of it.
We’re licensed for all the trades your kitchen renovation requires: electrical, plumbing, and structural work. More importantly, we handle the permit process that trips up so many other contractors. From the initial application to final inspection, we manage every step with the Town of Ossining Building Department.
You’re not getting a cookie-cutter approach. Ossining homes have character, and they often have quirks. We’ve worked with everything from century-old colonials to modern updates, and we know how to work with what you have while giving you what you want.
We start with understanding exactly what you want to achieve. Not just the look, but how you use your kitchen. Do you cook every night? Entertain frequently? Need more storage? That conversation shapes everything that follows.
Next comes the planning phase where we handle permits and code compliance. In Ossining, this means working with local building requirements and the 2020 NY Stretch Code. We submit all applications and manage the approval process so you don’t have to navigate town hall.
During construction, we coordinate all trades and keep you informed of progress. Our project management means you have one point of contact instead of juggling multiple contractors. We schedule inspections, handle any issues that arise, and make sure everything meets code before we consider the job complete.

Your kitchen renovation includes everything needed for a complete transformation. We handle structural changes like removing walls or reconfiguring layouts, all electrical work including new outlets and lighting, and plumbing modifications for new appliance locations or additional sinks.
Material selection covers cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures. We work with suppliers who understand Westchester County quality expectations and can deliver materials that match the investment you’re making in your home.
In Ossining’s market, kitchen renovations typically range from $30,000 for basic updates to $75,000+ for comprehensive remodels. The investment reflects both the quality of materials and the complexity of working within existing home structures. We provide detailed estimates that account for the specific challenges your home presents, so there are no surprises during construction.
Yes, most kitchen renovations in Ossining require building permits, especially if you’re making structural, electrical, or plumbing changes. The Town of Ossining Building Department requires permits for any alterations to existing structures, and kitchen remodels typically involve multiple types of work that need approval.
We handle the entire permit process for you, from initial applications to final inspections. This includes compliance with the 2020 NY Stretch Code that Ossining adopted, which has specific energy efficiency requirements. Having experienced contractors manage permits saves you time and ensures everything meets local building codes from the start.
The permit process typically takes 2-4 weeks for approval, depending on the scope of work. We submit applications early in the planning phase so permits are ready when construction begins.
Kitchen remodeling costs in Ossining typically range from $30,000 to $75,000 or more, depending on the size of your kitchen and scope of work. Basic renovations with standard materials start around $25,000-30,000, while comprehensive remodels with high-end finishes can exceed $100,000.
The cost reflects several factors unique to the Westchester County market: higher material costs, skilled labor rates, and the complexity of working with older home infrastructure. Many Ossining homes require additional electrical or plumbing work to support modern appliances and layouts.
We provide detailed estimates that break down costs by category—labor, materials, permits, and contingencies. This transparency helps you understand where your investment goes and make informed decisions about where to prioritize your budget.
Most kitchen renovations in Ossining take 4-6 weeks for standard remodels, though extensive renovations can take 8-12 weeks or more. The timeline depends on the scope of work, permit approval time, and any unexpected issues we discover during demolition.
Older homes in Ossining sometimes present surprises—outdated wiring, plumbing that needs updating, or structural elements that require additional work. We build realistic timelines that account for these possibilities and keep you informed of any changes as the project progresses.
The permit approval process adds 2-4 weeks to the overall timeline, but we handle this during the planning phase so it doesn’t delay construction. We also coordinate all inspections to avoid delays during the build phase.
Absolutely. Many Ossining homeowners want to update their kitchens without the expense and complexity of moving walls or major plumbing changes. We can transform your kitchen within the existing footprint by updating cabinets, countertops, appliances, and finishes.
Working within existing layouts often reduces costs and construction time while still achieving dramatic improvements. We maximize storage, improve functionality, and update the aesthetic without requiring structural permits or extensive utility work.
However, if you do want to change the layout, we have the expertise to handle structural modifications, electrical rewiring, and plumbing relocations. We’ll discuss the options during our initial consultation and help you understand the cost and timeline implications of different approaches.
Yes, we’re licensed for all trades required in kitchen renovations, including electrical and plumbing work. Our team includes certified electricians and plumbers who understand both local codes and the specific requirements of kitchen renovations.
Electrical work typically includes new outlets for appliances, under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, and upgraded circuits to handle modern appliance loads. Plumbing work covers everything from relocating sinks and dishwashers to installing new gas lines for ranges or connecting ice makers.
All electrical and plumbing work is performed to code and inspected by Ossining building officials. We coordinate these inspections as part of our project management, so you don’t have to worry about scheduling or ensuring compliance with local requirements.
Older homes in Ossining often have unique challenges that require experienced contractors to navigate successfully. These include outdated electrical systems that need upgrading to support modern appliances, plumbing that may need rerouting, and structural elements that affect layout options.
Many homes also have character features like original hardwood floors, architectural details, or unusual room proportions that need to be worked around or incorporated into the new design. We have experience preserving these elements while creating functional, modern kitchens.
The key is thorough planning and realistic expectations. We conduct detailed assessments before construction begins to identify potential issues and build appropriate solutions into the project timeline and budget. This approach prevents surprises and ensures your renovation proceeds smoothly from start to finish.
