Kitchen Remodeling in Queens, NY

Queens homeowners know their kitchen is the hardest-working room in the house. Whether you’re cooking for a family of six in Jackson Heights or hosting friends in your Astoria co-op, a dated kitchen makes everything harder than it needs to be.
At Queens Kitchen Remodelling, we handle your entire kitchen renovation from the first design consultation through DOB permit filing, demolition, build, and final inspection. One team, one fixed price, no project manager required.
Why Queens Homeowners Choose Us
Renovating a kitchen in New York City is not the same as renovating anywhere else. Between DOB permits, co-op board approvals, building superintendent coordination, and the realities of working in older Queens buildings, you need a contractor who has done this hundreds of times.
We’ve remodeled kitchens in pre-war walk-ups in Astoria, new construction condos in Long Island City, co-ops in Forest Hills, and single-family homes in Bayside. We know the quirks of Queens construction — plaster walls, cast iron pipes, outdated electrical panels — and we plan for them before we start swinging hammers.
What sets us apart:
- We file DOB permits and handle inspections ourselves
- We prepare full co-op alteration agreement packages
- Fixed-price contracts with line-item detail — no change-order surprises
- One project manager from demo day to final walkthrough

How Much Does Kitchen Remodeling Cost in Queens?
Kitchen renovation costs in Queens typically break down like this:
| Project Type | Price Range | Square Footage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic refresh (cabinets, countertops, paint) | $15,000 – $30,000 | Under 100 sq ft |
| Mid-range remodel (layout changes, new everything) | $35,000 – $65,000 | 100 – 200 sq ft |
| Full gut renovation (structural, plumbing, electrical) | $65,000 – $100,000+ | 150 – 300 sq ft |
Queens pricing averages $250 – $450 per square foot depending on materials and scope. That is significantly lower than Manhattan ($350 – $600+) while still getting you NYC-quality craftsmanship.
Factors that affect your cost:
- Layout changes (moving plumbing or gas lines adds $3,000 – $8,000)
- Cabinet quality (stock vs. semi-custom vs. fully custom)
- Countertop material (quartz vs. granite affects cost by $2,000 – $5,000)
- Appliance upgrades
- Electrical panel capacity (older Queens homes often need panel upgrades)
- Permit fees ($200 – $1,500 depending on scope)

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
Step 1: Free In-Home Consultation
We come to your home, measure the space, photograph existing conditions, and discuss your goals. You tell us what you want — we tell you what it will cost and how long it will take. No pressure, no obligation.
Step 2: Design & Fixed-Price Proposal
Within a week, you receive a kitchen design with 3D renderings and a fixed-price proposal. Every line item is spelled out — cabinets, countertops, labor, permits, everything. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Step 3: Permits & Board Approvals
We file all necessary DOB permits and prepare your co-op alteration agreement if applicable. This step takes 2 – 6 weeks depending on your building, and we handle all of it.
Step 4: Demolition & Construction
Your project manager coordinates the full build — demo, rough-in, framing, finishes, installation, and cleanup. Most full kitchen remodels take 6 – 10 weeks.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Inspection
We walk through the finished kitchen together, address any punch list items, and schedule the DOB final inspection. We do not consider the job done until you are happy.

Can you work in co-op buildings?
Absolutely. We prepare the full alteration agreement package that Queens co-op boards require — plans, insurance certificates, contractor references, and work schedule. We have been through this process hundreds of times.
What is included in your fixed-price estimate?
Everything. Design, materials, labor, permits, dumpster, cleanup. The only things not included are appliances you purchase separately and any scope changes you request during the project.
