What is behind the walls in a Bay Shore house?
Grand old Victorians and estate houses near the water, dense post-war housing inland, and a redeveloping downtown. Older houses here have undersized electrical service and cast-iron waste lines. Both get addressed properly during a gut, not patched around.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Bay Shore?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Town of Islip Building Division. Unincorporated Town of Islip, filed in Islip. Waterfront parcels also pick up DEC and County review depending on what is proposed.
How long will my kitchen be out of action?
A full gut typically runs eight to twelve weeks on site. The schedule is usually set by cabinetry lead time rather than labour, which is why we order early and set up a temporary kitchen before demolition starts.
Will the electrical service need upgrading?
Often, in older Bay Shore housing stock. A modern kitchen adds significant load, and where the existing panel cannot carry it we price the upgrade in the original estimate rather than raising it as a change order.
Do you do the millwork and tile too?
Yes, with our own finish carpenters. The crew that frames the opening is the crew that hangs the trim, which is why the reveals line up.
