Your kitchen should work for your life, not against it. When we’re done, you’ll have the storage space you actually need, countertops that can handle your busiest days, and a layout that makes cooking feel effortless instead of frustrating.
No more cramped spaces or cabinets that stick. No more wondering if your 1950s kitchen will ever feel like home. You’ll walk into a space that’s built for how you actually live – whether that’s quick weekday meals or weekend dinner parties.
The difference shows immediately. More counter space for prep work. Cabinets that close properly and hold everything you need. Lighting that actually illuminates your workspace. A kitchen that adds real value to your Mount Vernon home.
We’ve been serving Mount Vernon homeowners who want their kitchen remodeling done right the first time. We understand the unique challenges of renovating in older Westchester County homes – from working with existing plumbing layouts to navigating local building codes.
What sets us apart is simple: we treat your project like it’s our own home. That means showing up when we say we will, keeping you informed throughout the process, and handling the permits and inspections so you don’t have to.
We’ve seen too many Mount Vernon homeowners get burned by contractors who disappear mid-project or cut corners on quality. That’s not how we work. Your kitchen remodeling project gets our full attention from design through final walkthrough.
We start with a consultation at your Mount Vernon home to understand what’s not working in your current kitchen and what you want to achieve. We’ll discuss your budget, timeline, and any specific challenges your space presents.
Next comes the design phase where we create detailed plans that maximize your kitchen’s potential within your home’s existing structure. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local inspectors to keep your project moving smoothly.
During construction, we protect the rest of your home and maintain a clean, organized workspace. You’ll know exactly what’s happening each day and when different phases will be complete. We coordinate all subcontractors – plumbing, electrical, flooring – so you only deal with one point of contact.
Final inspection and walkthrough ensure everything meets our standards and yours before we consider the job complete.

Our kitchen remodeling services cover every aspect of your renovation project. Custom cabinet design and installation tailored to your space and storage needs. Countertop installation in materials ranging from granite and quartz to budget-friendly laminate options.
We handle the technical work too – electrical upgrades for modern appliances, plumbing modifications for new layouts, and flooring installation that coordinates with your overall design. All work meets current New York building codes and local Mount Vernon requirements.
Mount Vernon’s housing stock presents unique opportunities and challenges. Many homes built in the 1950s have solid bones but need thoughtful updates to work for modern families. We know how to work within existing structural limitations while maximizing functionality and style. Whether you’re dealing with galley kitchens that need better flow or want to create an open concept feel, we’ve solved these challenges before.
Most kitchen remodeling projects in Mount Vernon take 6-8 weeks from start to finish. This includes time for permits, which typically take 2-3 weeks to process through the city.
The timeline depends on the scope of your project. A standard renovation with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances usually stays within that 6-8 week window. More extensive projects involving layout changes, structural modifications, or custom millwork can extend to 10-12 weeks.
We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase so you know exactly what to expect. Weather delays are rare since most of the work happens inside, but we always build in a small buffer to account for any unforeseen issues that older homes sometimes present.
Kitchen remodeling permits in Mount Vernon depend on the scope of your project. Basic renovations like cabinet replacement and countertop installation typically don’t require permits, but any electrical or plumbing work does.
If you’re moving walls, changing the kitchen layout, or upgrading electrical service, you’ll need building permits from the Mount Vernon Building Department. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections to keep your project on schedule.
The permit process usually takes 2-3 weeks, which is why we start applications early in the planning phase. We’re familiar with local requirements and have established relationships with Mount Vernon inspectors, which helps avoid delays that can happen when contractors aren’t familiar with local procedures.
Kitchen remodeling costs in Mount Vernon typically range from $25,000 to $75,000, depending on the size of your kitchen and the level of finishes you choose. A basic renovation with standard materials usually falls in the $25,000-$40,000 range.
Mid-range projects with quality cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless appliances typically run $40,000-$60,000. High-end renovations with custom cabinetry, premium materials, and luxury appliances can reach $75,000 or more.
The biggest cost factors are cabinet replacement, countertops, and appliances. Labor costs in Westchester County reflect the area’s higher cost of living, but you’re also getting contractors who understand local building requirements and can navigate Mount Vernon’s permit process efficiently. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you can make informed decisions about where to invest your budget.
Yes, most Mount Vernon homeowners stay in their homes during kitchen remodeling. We set up a temporary kitchen area in another part of your home so you can still prepare basic meals and have access to running water.
We typically recommend setting up in a basement, garage, or dining room with a microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge. We’ll help you plan this temporary setup before work begins and can recommend local restaurants for days when cooking isn’t practical.
The most disruptive phases are usually the first few days of demolition and the final days when we’re completing finishing work. We schedule these phases to minimize inconvenience and always clean up thoroughly each day. Most families find the temporary inconvenience manageable when they see their new kitchen taking shape.
We work with both existing layouts and complete kitchen renovations, depending on your needs and budget. Many Mount Vernon homes have functional layouts that just need updated materials and finishes rather than structural changes.
Keeping your existing layout saves money on plumbing and electrical modifications while still giving you a dramatically updated kitchen. We can install new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and flooring within your current footprint for a fresh look at a lower cost.
However, if your current layout doesn’t work for your family’s needs, we can redesign the space entirely. This might involve moving walls, relocating plumbing, or creating an open concept connection to adjacent rooms. We’ll evaluate your space and discuss both options so you can make the choice that best fits your goals and budget.
We focus on being the contractor you can actually count on to finish your project properly and on schedule. Too many Mount Vernon homeowners have stories about contractors who started strong but disappeared when problems came up or the work got challenging.
Our approach is different because we handle everything in-house rather than subcontracting every aspect of your project. This means better quality control, clearer communication, and accountability when issues need to be resolved quickly. You work with the same team from start to finish.
We also understand Mount Vernon’s unique housing characteristics – from working around existing radiator systems to maximizing space in smaller kitchens typical of 1950s construction. This local knowledge helps us anticipate challenges and solve problems efficiently rather than learning on your dime. When we give you a timeline and budget, you can count on us to meet both.
