Kitchen Remodeling in New York City & Long Island, NY
WHAT WE DO
The kitchen absorbs more traffic than any other room, and it shows first when the layout stops working. Adelbin Construction
remodels kitchens throughout New York City & Long Island, NY, rebuilding everything from cabinetry and countertops to plumbing, electrical, ventilation, and flooring. Some projects refresh a workable footprint. Others take down a wall, relocate the sink, and rearrange how the entire ground floor connects. We handle demolition, coordination with cabinet and stone suppliers, permit filings where structural or plumbing changes require them, and the finish carpentry that makes a room feel deliberate rather than assembled.
WHERE WE REMODEL
Kitchens Inside Houses That Were Not Built for Them
Postwar Cape Cods, split levels, colonials, and prewar apartments across Long Island and New York City each present their own challenges. Load-bearing walls may sit exactly where you want an island. Cast-iron waste lines can run through the floor you planned to open, while outdated electrical panels may not support modern appliances like an induction range. We investigate these conditions before demolition, not after. Homeowners throughout Long Island and New York City choose us because older homes and buildings reward a contractor who knows how to anticipate and manage the surprises that come with them.
Kitchen Remodeling Services We Provide
A kitchen remodel is really several trades stacked into one room. Below is the scope we manage, from the first layout sketch to the final adjustment on a cabinet door.
01
Layout and Space Planning
Before any product is chosen, we map how you move between refrigerator, sink, range, and prep surfaces. Clearances, door swings, seating depth, and traffic through the room decide whether the finished kitchen feels effortless or fights you every single evening.
02
Custom Cabinetry Installation
Storage tailored to your habits beats storage bought by the box. Deep drawers for cookware, vertical dividers for sheet pans, pull-outs beside the range, and full-height pantry units get specified around what you actually own and reach for most often.
03
Countertop Fabrication and Installation
Quartz, granite, and porcelain each behave differently under heat, knives, and daily spills. We template after cabinets are set, review seam placement and edge profiles with you, and coordinate fabrication so the stone arrives cut for your exact base configuration.
04
Plumbing and Appliance Relocation
Moving a sink, dishwasher, or gas line means new supply, waste, and venting rather than simple reconnection. We open the floor or wall, run the rough-in to code, and coordinate inspection before anything gets closed up and tiled over permanently.
05
Lighting and Electrical Upgrades
Older kitchens rarely carry the circuits that modern appliances demand. Dedicated runs, upgraded panel capacity, recessed ceiling fixtures, under-cabinet task lighting, and thoughtfully placed outlets turn a dim, overloaded room into one that works safely and comfortably after sunset.
06
Flooring, Tile, and Backsplash Finishing
Surfaces absorb most of the abuse in a kitchen. We install flooring rated for spills and heavy traffic, set backsplash tile with close attention to grout lines and outlet alignment, and seal every transition where the kitchen meets adjoining rooms.

What Our Customers Say
What Separates a Kitchen That Lasts From One That Dates
Trends move considerably faster than renovation budgets do. These are the decisions that keep a kitchen working well and looking current long after a particular finish has fallen out of fashion.
01
Storage Sized to How You Cook
A kitchen fails on storage long before it fails on style. Matching drawer depths, cabinet heights, and pantry organization to the equipment you genuinely use eliminates the counter clutter that makes an otherwise beautiful room feel permanently disorganized.
02
Work Zones That Reduce Steps
Prep, cooking, cleaning, and serving each want their own territory in the room. Grouping tools, surfaces, and storage around those zones cuts the back-and-forth walking that turns an ordinary weeknight dinner into an unnecessarily long and tiring project.
03
Surfaces That Handle Real Wear
Countertops and floors meet heat, moisture, and impact every single day for years. Choosing materials rated for that punishment, rather than for a showroom photograph, is what keeps the room looking presentable well past its first few anniversaries.
04
Lighting Layered by Task
One ceiling fixture cannot serve chopping, reading, dining, and cleaning equally well. Combining ambient, task, and accent lighting on separate switches lets the same room feel bright and functional at breakfast, then calm and warm late at night.
05
Ventilation That Actually Pulls
An undersized or unducted hood recirculates grease and moisture straight back into the room. Correctly sized ducted ventilation protects cabinet finishes, keeps cooking odors out of nearby upholstery, and reduces the humidity that shortens the life of paint.
06
Finishes With Broad Appeal
Bold permanent choices tend to feel exciting for about three years. Keeping the fixed elements calm and expressing personality through hardware, paint, and textiles means updating the look later costs you a weekend rather than another full renovation.
WHO WE ARE
A Team That Finishes What the Schedule Promised
Kitchen projects stall when nobody owns the calendar. We order long-lead cabinetry and stone early, sequence the trades so plumbers are not waiting on electricians, and keep a temporary setup running so your household can still make coffee and heat dinner. Our 9 years of work in the area cover everything from modest galley updates to full open-plan conversions. Share your measurements and a few reference photographs through our contact page, and we will outline a realistic sequence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take from demolition to completion?
Construction commonly runs 6 to 12 weeks depending on scope, though planning and material lead times often push the full project out to three or four months. Custom cabinetry alone can take 8 to 15 weeks to arrive.
Can keeping my kitchen plumbing in the same location reduce remodeling costs?
Keeping sinks, dishwashers, and major appliances near existing plumbing connections often reduces labor and material costs. Relocating them can still be worthwhile when the current layout is inefficient, so we compare the cost difference against the functional improvement first.
Is the kitchen work triangle still a useful guide?
It remains a helpful starting point for smaller kitchens with a single cook. Larger rooms with islands and multiple users are usually better planned around separate zones, which handles two or three people working simultaneously far more gracefully.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen?
Cosmetic replacement generally does not, but moving plumbing, altering gas lines, adding circuits, or removing walls certainly does. We confirm the requirements with your local building department and file whatever the specific scope of your project calls for.
How much clearance should surround a kitchen island?
Roughly 42 inches of walkway suits a single cook, and 48 inches works better where two people pass regularly or appliance doors open into the aisle. Anything tighter than 36 inches makes the room feel congested very quickly.
Should cabinets be refaced or fully replaced?
Refacing suits solid boxes with a sound existing layout and saves meaningful money. Replacement makes more sense when the configuration is changing, the boxes are particleboard that has already swelled, or you want deeper drawers and better interior fittings.
What is the best order for a kitchen renovation?
Demolition, then framing and structural work, then plumbing and electrical rough-in, inspection, drywall, flooring, cabinets, countertop templating, backsplash, appliances, and finally paint and hardware. Skipping ahead anywhere in that sequence almost always creates expensive rework later on.
Can I use my kitchen at all during the remodel?
Not the room itself, though we help set up a temporary station elsewhere with the refrigerator, microwave, and a coffee maker. Most families manage the arrangement comfortably once they know exactly how many weeks it needs to last.
