The kitchen is considered the most popular area of the house. It’s where you and your family begin the day, enjoy meals, share your lives, and more often than not, it’s the place where guests and friends gather on special holidays and get-togethers. There’s a comforting familiarity about the kitchen and whether you’re dining, entertaining, or slipping in and out for a late night snack, this is easily the most active and functional part of the home.
But with that functionality comes a lot of wear and tear which results in chipped and faded cabinets, doors that don’t open properly, and appliances that could use an upgrade. Before you know it, your kitchen is tired and outdated and when the functional focal point of your home isn’t as functional as it used to be, it becomes harder not to focus on the weaknesses and imperfections that can reduce the value of the property. Studies have shown that prospective homebuyers hinge their decision on whether or not to purchase a home on the look, feel, and condition of the kitchen.
What condition is your kitchen in and could it use a minor touch-up, a few renovations, or a complete remodel?
If the time has come to update and revitalize your kitchen, then it’s time to call NYC Kitchen & Bath to schedule a consultation with one of our kitchen renovation experts. Our team is ready to help you transform your old, outdated space into the kitchen you’ve always wanted. We have been renovating kitchens (and bathrooms) all across the five boroughs and throughout the Tri-State Area for eight years and counting!
No project is too big or complicated for our team of in-house architects, engineers, interior designers, and installers who have been delivering new, state-of-the-art kitchens at our clients’ exact specifications and standards.
We take you through every phase of the renovation process, from the initial design phase to the completion phase. We have a 10,000 square foot showroom that features a wide array of samples and displays from the top designers and name brands in high-quality kitchen surfaces, countertops, fixtures, and appliances to help you transform your old kitchen into a space that exceeds all expectations. What about custom cabinets? No problem, our team can do that.
The design phase of a kitchen renovation project will typically take anywhere from one to two weeks depending on the scope and complexity of the project. We help you develop the layout of your new kitchen and any other components that make up your particular vision for the home. Even if you’re not exactly sure what that vision looks like yet, we can help you realize the aesthetic you want by giving you options – plenty of options – when it comes to just about every aspect of the kitchen, from floor to ceiling. Browse our showroom, explore the different styles, patterns, sizes, and finishes we offer to find the design solution that fits your taste and your home’s interior decor.
We take all of the components that you want in your new kitchen and create a three-dimensional rendering of what your kitchen will look like when the job is complete. We make sure you are fully satisfied before moving forward with any other phase of the project. So it’s very important that you are honest and upfront when you have a question or concern about the project.
Your kitchen renovation project will be supervised by one of our project managers from start to finish, so you won’t be left trying to deal with multiple personnel and multiple departments just to get the answer to a simple question about the status of your new kitchen.
One call does it all, you speak directly with your project manager who is always fully apprised of the status of the project and can answer any questions and address any concerns you may have at any time.
We do everything in-house which brings your kitchen remodeling costs down and provides you with the high quality materials and craftsmanship that have made us one of the most trusted kitchen remodelers throughout the city.
Once the design phase is complete and you love the look of your new kitchen to come, we begin the construction phase.
We prepare for the construction phase by visiting your home and gathering measurements and exact specifications of the space where your kitchen currently exists. Feel free to discuss any further ideas or questions you may have about the project. Perhaps you want more storage space or you’ve decided to install an island or change the style of surfaces for your countertops.
After we take all of the measurements and apply your specifications to your kitchen renovation project, we update the 3D rendering of the space, if necessary. This will give you another opportunity to inspect and examine everything that has been selected for your kitchen renovation including the cabinets, flooring, countertops, the backsplash, surfaces, fixtures, handles, all of it – from the major essentials to the tiny details.
If you are happy with the layout, colors, patterns, and every other aspect of the project, that means we are ready to move forward to the next stage.
At this point, you are expected to make the initial payment on the project, all of the building and project materials are ordered, and a date to begin construction of your brand new kitchen remodel is scheduled for a date at your convenience
If your home is governed by a condominium board or HOA, it’s very important for you to read through the rules and regulations to determine if these renovations plans need to be pre-approved before our team arrives to start work.
But if you are free and clear to renovate and remodel at your own discretion, then you just leave everything else to us in securing all of the building materials and necessary permits to begin construction on your new kitchen.
Using your approved 3D rendering, the build stage of the construction phase begins. This involves first removing or relocating appliances. Some may be staying, some may be getting replaced, but all of it has to be taken out of the space for now. Next, we begin demolition of the kitchen, removing everything that is getting renovated or replaced including countertops, cabinets, flooring, even walls that have been tagged for removal to open up the space to expand the size of the kitchen. Electrical and plumbing systems are updated or converted as needed.
After the demolition portion is complete, it’s to rebuild and install your new flooring, new backsplash, new countertops and surfaces, new fixtures, whatever the project calls for based on the 3D model of your renovation or remodeling project.
Once construction is finished, the final portion of the job includes replacing your appliances and/or installing the new appliances that you have ordered. Finally, with everything installed and reattached, hooked up and in position, we paint and detail the kitchen to ensure it matches the three-dimensional rendering.
Every component of your kitchen renovation project is protected by a warranty. All labor performed by NYC Kitchen & Bath is covered by a one-year warranty. The building materials, appliances, and elements that comprise your renovated kitchen are covered by their own separate warranties which can range with limited terms to lifetime coverage against product or manufacturer’s defects for as long as you own them.

While we take every precaution to reduce the level of dust, noise, and other disruptions to help you and your family remain comfortable during the renovation process, we advise you to secure alternate food prep and storage arrangements for weeks or even months.
We are able to offer energy-efficient appliances and products made from sustainable materials, when available. Make this request for incorporating eco-friendly options in your kitchen remodel during the consultation phase so you are fully satisfied with your new kitchen.
Homeowners who proceed with a kitchen remodel may see a return on their investment at anywhere from one third to one half of the amount they have spent on the project. However, a range of factors contribute to the level of recoupment including the region in which the home is located, the strength of the housing market at the time of sale, and other factors.
A kitchen remodel can increase your home’s sale price and even if you don’t plan on selling now or in the immediate future, you get to enjoy a clean, vibrant, functional, and efficient new kitchen for as long as you own your home.
