What is behind the walls in a Stony Brook house?
Colonial revival around the planned village centre, mid-century and later subdivisions elsewhere, plus university-adjacent rentals. Older village houses hide plaster, uneven floors and undersized service. We level and rewire as part of the job, not as an extra.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Stony Brook?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Town of Brookhaven Building Division. Town of Brookhaven, which is the largest building department on the Island and plans accordingly. Historic district review applies around the village centre.
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 Stony Brook 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.
