    Built for Manhattan Apartments, Co-ops & Condos

    the project can move forward with fewer delays and fewer surprises

    What We Coordinate

    1. Co-op and condo alteration agreements
    2. DOB Permits and Architectural Approvals
    3. Building management communication
    4. General Liability and Workers’ Compensation documentation
    5. Freight elevator and delivery scheduling
    6. Floor, wall, elevator, and common area protection
    7. Plumbing and electrical coordination
    8. Work-hour and noise restrictions

      We Don’t Rush

      If you need a kitchen done in under 6 weeks, we’re not the right fit. Quality installation in a Manhattan building takes the time it takes

      Dedicated Crews

      We run 3 dedicated crews, each paired with a project coordinator.

      Your Crew Stays On Your Job

      We don’t stack projects. When we take on your renovation, your crew is on your job.

      Important: Design, approvals, cabinetry production, appliance lead times, and material ordering happen
      before on-site construction and are not included in the 6–10 week installation timeline.

      PRICING & SCOPE

      Kitchen Renovation Cost in Manhattan

      Kitchen renovations in Manhattan start from $70,000. We specialize in fully custom, high-end kitchens — partial remodels and budget projects are outside our scope.

      Most kitchen remodeling projects fall within the $70,000 – $200,000+ range. Cost is shaped by cabinetry, appliances, countertops, layout changes, and any electrical or plumbing work involved.

      For full apartment renovation projects that include demolition, construction, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, appliances, and finishes as part of a larger total scope, project budgets typically start from $200,000+.

      We provide itemized proposals after a site visit. No guesswork, no surprise change orders.

      What’s Included That Others Often Charge Separately

      • Design concept and 3D rendering
      • Full project insurance
      • Permitting coordination
      • Project coordination
      • Detailed scope of work
      • Final cleaning and project handover

      Cabinetry is priced per linear foot and varies based on manufacturer, style, complexity, and internal configuration. Exact pricing is provided after the design is finalized.

      Cabinetry & Materials

      Cabinetry is typically the largest line item in a kitchen renovation. We work with both custom and semi-custom systems depending on the project. Common materials include solid wood, veneered panels, lacquered finishes, and premium hardware from Blum and Hettich. Typical cabinetry budget: $20,000 – $80,000+ Italian factory cabinets come with a manufacturer warranty of 2 to 5 years, issued directly by the factory. Built to last 15–25 years — with proper use, failures are rare.

      Cabinetry Lead Times

      • Italian factory cabinets: 3–6 months, including manufacturing and shipping to NYC
      • US-made custom cabinets: 1–3 months
      • Cabinet installation once on-site: 3–7 business days

      Appliances

      High-end Manhattan kitchens are typically outfitted with integrated appliances from Sub-Zero / Wolf, Miele, Gaggenau, or Thermador. Appliance packages generally range from $15,000 to $40,000+, depending on brand and configuration.

      What Drives Cost in NYC Kitchens

      A well-executed kitchen is a balance of design, engineering, and craftsmanship — not just a matter of finishes. The final cost depends on how much custom work is required, the level of cabinetry, the appliance package, the stone selection, and the complexity of construction inside the building.

      Key Cost Factors

      • Custom millwork and precision installation
      • Electrical upgrades, especially in pre-war buildings
      • Ventilation system requirements
      • Seamless integration of appliances into cabinetry
