What is behind the walls in a Wantagh house?
1950s and 1960s capes, splits and ranches, with canal-front housing south of Merrick Road. Conventional inland renovations, and flood-resilient specifications on the canal side.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Wantagh?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Town of Hempstead Building Department. Unincorporated Town of Hempstead. Expect a longer permit queue than the smaller villages, and file accordingly.
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 Wantagh 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.
