in a Garden City
house.

What is behind the walls in a Garden City house?
Turn-of-the-century and 1920s colonials, Tudors and centre-hall houses on mature, well-defined streets. These houses have plaster over lath, undersized service and original cast-iron waste. A serious kitchen here includes a serious infrastructure upgrade.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Garden City?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Incorporated Village of Garden City Building Department. Garden City runs its own building department and applies design review that is stricter than most of Nassau. Plan for a longer approval and design to it deliberately.
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 Garden City 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.
