in a Smithtown

What is behind the walls in a Smithtown house?
Colonials and ranches from the 1950s through 1980s, some substantial older properties near the river and along Route 25A. Standard colonial layouts that open up cleanly once the load path is sorted. Predictable work, done well.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Smithtown?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Town of Smithtown Building Department. Town of Smithtown handles the hamlet directly. Head of the Harbor and Nissequogue are separate incorporated villages with their own review, and the difference is significant.
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 Smithtown 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.
