A kitchen remodel is four jobs stacked on top of each other: demo and layout, plumbing and electrical, cabinets and counters, and the finish work. Most remodelers own one of those and rent the rest. We own all of them — a licensed master plumber and electricians on our own crew — so the schedule holds and one name is on the contract. Typical kitchen: 4–6 weeks, permits included.

Same layout, everything new: cabinets, counters, sink, faucet, backsplash, lighting, floor. Plumbing and electrical updated in place. The fastest and the best value if the layout already works.
Move the sink, add an island, open a wall to the dining room, run new circuits for the range and the dishwasher. This is where in-house plumbing and electrical stop being a nice-to-have — it's the difference between 5 weeks and 12.
Custom cabinetry, stone slabs, panel-ready appliances, a bigger footprint, maybe a bump-out. Architect drawings, engineering for the beam, and one crew that builds it.
It's never the cabinets. It's the plumber booked for Tuesday who came Friday, the electrician who found the panel full, the counter template waiting on cabinets waiting on the floor. Every rented trade is a calendar you don't control.
Our plumber and electricians are on the crew. The gas line for the range, the new circuits, the dishwasher and ice-maker lines, the panel work — all scheduled by the same foreman. And anything we install that carries water gets our 5-Year Watertight Guarantee.
We're not a showroom, so we don't care which brand you pick. We care that the boxes are plywood, the drawers are dovetailed on soft-close slides, and the finish survives a family.
We measure, check the plumbing stack, the panel and the joists, and draw the layout with you. Itemized price on the spot: cabinets by line, counters by slab, fixtures, tile, electrical, plumbing, permits, disposal.
Dust walls up, floors protected, old kitchen out. Plumbing and electrical rough-in, wall moves with the engineered header, rough inspections passed.
Drywall, floor, cabinets set and leveled, counter template, then 7–10 days for the slab to come back.
Counters in, sink and faucet connected, backsplash, lighting, appliances, paint. Final inspection, then an item-by-item walkthrough before you release the last payment.
Moving plumbing, adding circuits, running a gas line or removing a wall all need permits in New Jersey — building, plumbing and electrical, sometimes mechanical for a range-hood duct. We file them, schedule the rough and final inspections, and build to code.

How we beat the big chains: Kitchen showrooms and franchise remodelers add a design fee, a sales commission and a rented plumber to every number. No franchise fees, no commissioned salesmen, no rented subcontractors — that's typically 15–30% under national-brand quotes for the same or better spec. Bring us any written quote and we'll match the scope line by line.
“Eleven weeks without a kitchen because the plumber, the electrician and the counter guy each had their own schedule.”
“The 'allowance' for cabinets covered about half of what any cabinet actually costs.”
“They took out the wall and never pulled a permit. The beam wasn't sized for the second floor.”

Pull-and-replace with semi-custom cabinets and quartz, about $35,000 to $55,000. New layout with an island and a wall opened up, $55,000 to $95,000. Full custom, $95,000 to $150,000 and up — itemized and fixed before we start.
Four to six weeks on site for most kitchens, once the cabinets are in hand. Add cabinet lead time — 4–6 weeks for semi-custom, 8–12 for custom — before demo. You get the schedule in writing and a photo update every workday.
Yes. A licensed master plumber and licensed electricians are on our crew, not rented by the day. That's why we can move the sink, add a gas range and upgrade the panel on one schedule — and guarantee the water lines for 5 years.
Yes, if the boxes are solid. New quartz, sink, faucet, backsplash and lighting can be a $12,000–$20,000 refresh. We'll tell you honestly whether the cabinets are worth keeping.
For plumbing moves, new circuits, gas lines and wall removal, yes — and we pull them. A same-place cabinet and counter swap usually doesn't need one.
Not the real one. We set up a temporary kitchen — fridge, microwave, a sink hookup where possible — seal the dust off with zip walls, protect the floors and sweep every night. Most families plan for 4–6 weeks of simple meals.
