Kitchen Remodeling in the East Village
East Village kitchens are usually tenement-era: a tub-adjacent galley, one window if you're lucky, and layers of old renovation on top of each other. We strip back to the studs and rebuild something that works hard and looks intentional.
What East Village kitchens need
Pre-law and old-law tenement walk-ups, small HDFC co-ops, and converted school and factory buildings around Alphabet City.
Gut back to studs
Decades of stacked renovations come out so wiring, gas and waste lines can be rebuilt to current code.
Durable, honest materials
Quartz or soapstone, plywood-box cabinetry and solid hardware chosen for daily wear, not showroom photos.
Realistic budgets
Smaller footprints let us hit a complete rebuild in the high $20,000s to low $40,000s in most cases.

East Village kitchen remodeling FAQs
My building is an HDFC co-op — can you still work there?
Yes. We handle HDFC alteration agreements and the insurance requirements regularly.
Is the old gas line a problem?
Often. Where the line is undersized or corroded we replace it and file for the required gas inspection.
What's the most affordable way to improve the kitchen?
Keeping the plumbing where it is and replacing cabinetry, counters and appliances cuts cost substantially.
