What is behind the walls in a Riverhead house?
A downtown of older commercial and residential buildings, farmhouses on surrounding agricultural land, post-war housing, and newer subdivisions. A wide range, from modest post-war kitchens to substantial farmhouse renovations.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Riverhead?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Town of Riverhead Building Department. Town of Riverhead handles the hamlet directly. Agricultural land and the Peconic Bay frontage bring additional review depending on the parcel.
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 Riverhead 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.
