Question 4

Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Westchester County?

Accepted Answer

In most Westchester County municipalities, yes. Kitchens and bathrooms require a building permit when plumbing, electrical, gas, structural work, or ventilation changes are involved, and bathrooms also require plumbing permits. We handle the permit application, inspection scheduling, and final sign-off as part of your project so you never have to visit the building department yourself.

Question 5

How long does a full kitchen remodel take?

Accepted Answer

A full kitchen remodel typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on cabinet lead times, layout changes, and material selections. A cosmetic kitchen update with new cabinets and countertops can finish in 3 to 5 weeks. You receive a written schedule before work begins and weekly progress updates throughout the project.

Question 6

How long does a home addition take, from permits to finish?

Accepted Answer

Most home additions take 4 to 8 months from the first estimate to the finished space. Permitting and approvals usually take 6 to 12 weeks depending on your municipality, followed by foundation, framing, roofing, siding, and interior finishes. We give you a realistic milestone schedule up front and manage every inspection along the way.

Question 7

How do your payment schedules work?

Accepted Answer

We use milestone-based payments instead of large upfront deposits. You approve a written scope and schedule first, then payments are tied to completed phases of the work: materials and mobilization, rough framing or rough-ins, finishes, and final walkthrough. Every payment request is itemized, and a final balance is only due after you and the local inspector have signed off on the finished work.

Question 8

What warranty do you offer on remodeling work?

Accepted Answer

Every remodeling project includes our written workmanship warranty: a full year on all labor we perform, in addition to manufacturer warranties on the materials and products we install, which range from 5 years to lifetime coverage. If anything we built is not right, we return and make it right at no charge.
