Dated 1960s kitchen with oak cabinets before renovation in Forest Hills The same Forest Hills kitchen after a full gut renovation BeforeAfter

Ascan Avenue, Forest Hills

Load-bearing wall removed with a flush LVL header so the ceiling reads flat into the dining room. Full custom cabinetry, quartz counters, relocated gas line.

Kitchen$61,40019 daysDOB permitted
Retro yellow kitchen cabinetry before renovation in Rego Park The same Rego Park kitchen after renovation with white cabinets and island BeforeAfter

63rd Drive, Rego Park

Co-op kitchen with a tight board approval window. Semi-custom shaker boxes, new panel circuit for the induction range, all work completed inside the building's noise hours.

Kitchen$38,90014 daysCo-op board
Cramped older kitchen with dated cabinets before renovation in Garden City The same Garden City kitchen after renovation with timber cabinetry and seating BeforeAfter

Cherry Valley Avenue, Garden City

Rift-sawn white oak throughout, waterfall island, integrated appliance panels. The one job this year that ran long — cabinetry shipped four days late from the mill.

Kitchen$78,20026 days (4 over)
Original mid-century bathroom with vintage washbasin before renovation The same Bayside bathroom after renovation with freestanding tub and marble BeforeAfter

41st Avenue, Bayside

Primary suite. Subfloor under the old tub had rotted through two joists — repaired and sistered before anything else went in. Flood tested 24 hours.

Bathroom$44,10023 daysStructural repair
Vintage bathroom with ornate tile border before renovation in Mineola The same Mineola bathroom after renovation with marble walls and modern sink BeforeAfter

Jericho Turnpike, Mineola

Hall bath for a family of five, so durability mattered more than drama. Porcelain that reads like marble, heated floor, and a niche deep enough to actually hold shampoo.

Bathroom$26,70015 daysHeated floor
Dated retro bathroom before renovation in Middle Village The same Middle Village bathroom after renovation with wood panelling and marble BeforeAfter

Metropolitan Avenue, Middle Village

Ageing-in-place brief. Curbless shower, blocking behind every wall for future grab bars, lever handles, and a bench that does not look like a hospital fixture.

Bathroom$31,40018 daysCurbless
Old warm-toned tiled bathroom before renovation in Whitestone The same Whitestone bathroom after renovation with luxurious marble walls BeforeAfter

Clintonville Street, Whitestone

Book-matched slab on the shower wall, which needs the wall dead flat before anything is set. Two extra days of prep nobody sees, and the reason the seam lines up.

Bathroom$52,80025 daysSlab work
Unfinished basement with exposed beams and concrete before work The same basement finished as a family room with sofa and television BeforeAfter

Cross Island Parkway, Whitestone

Closed-cell foam on the block, dedicated mini-split zone, egress window cut into the rear wall. Below-grade rated LVP so a future leak does not mean a full tear-out.

Basement$67,3007 weeksEgress cut
Empty basement with bare brick wall before finishing in Garden City The same Garden City basement finished as a cosy lounge BeforeAfter

Stewart Avenue, Garden City

Took water twice before we got there. We regraded the rear yard and extended two downspouts before framing a single stud. Two winters later it is still dry.

Basement$58,9006 weeksDrainage fixed first
Basement mid-construction with ladders and tools in Maspeth The same Maspeth basement finished with a bar and games area DuringAfter

61st Street, Maspeth

Wet bar with a proper vented drain, half bath, and a projector wall. Sound isolation in the ceiling joists so the room upstairs stays liveable on game night.

Basement$81,5008 weeksWet bar + half bath
Empty house interior being inspected before an addition in Bayside The completed rear extension with open plan living space BeforeAfter

212th Street, Bayside

18-foot rear extension. We ran the zoning and FAR check before the owners spent a dollar on drawings — it came back tight but buildable at 17'-6".

Addition$214,0009 monthsDOB + CO
Drywall being installed during a dormer build in Douglaston The finished dormer space with large windows and natural light DuringAfter

Douglas Road, Douglaston

Full-width shed dormer turning a crawl-height attic into two bedrooms and a bath. House stayed occupied the whole time — temporary roof over the opening every single night.

Addition$168,4005 monthsLived in throughout
Roof tear-off in progress on a Floral Park home The finished home exterior with new roof and siding DuringAfter

Poplar Street, Floral Park

Full tear-off found eleven sheets of soft decking under the old second layer. Replaced and photographed before sheathing — the homeowner has every shot.

Exterior$41,2009 days11 sheets replaced
Crew working on a roof under cloudy skies in Ridgewood The finished stone facade and landscaped front of the Ridgewood home DuringAfter

Woodbine Street, Ridgewood

Attached row house, so staging and neighbour access were the whole job. James Hardie front, new gutters sized properly, party-wall flashing detailed correctly.

Exterior$36,80011 daysRow house
