You know that feeling when you’re trying to cook dinner and everything’s in the wrong place. Cabinets that don’t close properly. Counters that never seem clean. Lighting that makes everything look terrible.
That changes with a kitchen renovation designed around how you actually live. Better workflow means faster meal prep. Smart storage solutions mean everything has a place. Quality materials mean fewer headaches down the road.
Your kitchen becomes the space where family gathers, where entertaining feels natural, and where cooking becomes enjoyable again instead of a daily frustration.
Certified Contracting Services Inc has been serving Eastchester homeowners for years, understanding exactly what works in these established neighborhoods. We know the common issues in homes built in the 40s through 80s – the electrical quirks, the plumbing challenges, the space limitations.
We’re not the company that disappears after taking your deposit. We’re the contractors your neighbors recommend because we show up when we say we will, keep job sites clean, and finish projects on time.
Local homeowners trust us because we’ve earned it – one successful kitchen renovation at a time.
First, we walk through your current kitchen and listen to what’s not working. Not what you think you should want – what actually frustrates you every day.
Then we measure everything and create a design that solves those specific problems. We show you exactly what materials we’ll use and when each phase happens.
During construction, we protect your home and keep you informed. No surprises, no “we’ll figure it out as we go.” You know what’s happening each day and when your new kitchen will be ready.
The result is a kitchen renovation that works exactly like you hoped it would.

In Eastchester’s older homes, we often discover opportunities to improve layouts by removing non-load-bearing walls or reconfiguring spaces. Many of our projects include expanding into adjacent dining areas or breakfast nooks to create more functional kitchens.
We source materials from trusted suppliers and work with appliance dealers who understand the specific requirements of Westchester County homes. Everything is coordinated so your project moves smoothly from start to finish.
Most kitchen renovations in Eastchester take 4-8 weeks from start to finish, depending on the scope of work. A basic refresh with new cabinets and countertops typically takes 4-5 weeks. Full renovations involving layout changes, electrical updates, and custom features usually take 6-8 weeks.
The timeline can be affected by permit approvals and special orders for custom materials. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins and keep you updated if anything changes.
Weather rarely affects indoor kitchen work, but material deliveries can occasionally be delayed during heavy snow periods common in Westchester winters.
Kitchen remodeling costs in Eastchester typically range from $25,000 for basic updates to $75,000+ for luxury renovations. Mid-range projects with quality materials and appliances usually fall between $40,000-$60,000.
The biggest cost factors are cabinet quality, countertop materials, and appliance selections. Structural changes like removing walls or relocating plumbing add to the investment but often provide the most dramatic improvements.

Yes, most kitchen remodeling projects in Eastchester require permits, especially if you’re moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits, or making structural changes. Even cabinet replacements often need permits if electrical work is involved.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The Town of Eastchester building department is generally responsive, and we have good working relationships with local inspectors.
Permit costs are typically $500-$1,500 depending on project scope. We include these fees in our estimates so you know the total investment upfront.
Many Eastchester kitchens can be dramatically improved without major layout changes. Sometimes the issue isn’t the layout itself but outdated cabinets, poor lighting, or inefficient storage solutions.
However, homes built in the 40s-60s often have small, closed-off kitchens that benefit from opening to adjacent spaces. We evaluate each situation individually and recommend changes only when they genuinely improve functionality.
Minor layout adjustments like moving a sink a few feet or relocating an island can make huge differences without the expense of major structural work.
Eastchester homeowners typically prefer transitional and modern farmhouse styles that blend traditional elements with contemporary functionality. These styles complement the established neighborhood character while providing modern convenience.
Clean-lined Shaker cabinets, natural stone countertops, and subway tile backsplashes remain popular choices. Many clients choose neutral color palettes with natural wood accents that work well with the area’s architectural styles.
We avoid overly trendy designs that might feel dated quickly, focusing instead on timeless choices that enhance resale value while reflecting your personal style.
We use plastic sheeting and temporary walls to contain dust and debris during your kitchen renovation. All floors and furniture in adjacent areas are covered with protective materials before work begins.
Construction debris is removed daily, not allowed to accumulate throughout your home. We use HEPA air filtration systems during dusty operations like tile removal or drywall sanding.
Our crews wear shoe covers and clean up thoroughly each day. We understand that you’re living in your home during renovation and take extra care to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
