What is behind the walls in a Islip house?
A mix of older village houses near Main Street, post-war subdivisions, and waterfront properties on the bay side. Straightforward work on conventional framing. Where the house is older, expect plaster and an electrical upgrade.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Islip?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Town of Islip Building Division. Town of Islip files its own hamlet. Anything touching the bay adds County and, at times, State review.
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 Islip 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.
