Brooklyn Kitchen Remodel Pros is a local design-build team that remodels kitchens across every kind of building in Brooklyn β€” rowhouse brownstones with narrow rear-extension galleys, prewar co-ops with original plaster and old risers, and loft condo conversions with open floor plates and freight-elevator scheduling. We don't run a one-size-fits-all playbook, because Brooklyn kitchens aren't one-size-fits-all: a 1900s rowhouse in Park Slope and a converted Williamsburg factory unit need completely different approaches to layout, permitting, and building logistics.

Whether you need a full gut renovation, a cabinet refacing, a new countertop, or a single custom island, we manage the whole job β€” design, material selection, licensed trades, DOB filings when structural or plumbing work requires them, and the co-op or condo board paperwork most Brooklyn buildings ask for before work can start. We show up when we say we will, protect your floors and hallways, and leave the site clean at the end of every day.

Why Brooklyn Homeowners Choose Brooklyn Kitchen Remodel Pros

We're not a national franchise that dispatches whoever's available β€” we're a Brooklyn-based crew that works these buildings every week. That means we already know what a Bay Ridge two-family basement kitchen needs versus a Brooklyn Heights prewar co-op unit, and we walk into the first consultation already asking the right questions about board approval, building-specific work-hour rules, and what's probably behind your walls.

Every project starts with an in-person visit and honest numbers β€” not a lowball estimate that turns into change orders once demo starts. We put the scope, the materials, and the schedule in writing, and we stick to it.

How We Handle NYC Permits and Board Approvals

Most Brooklyn kitchen remodels touch at least one thing the city or your building cares about: a gas line, a moved sink, a new electrical circuit, or a wall. When that's the case, we coordinate the DOB filing with a licensed architect or engineer, pull the right permits, and schedule the inspections so your project doesn't stall out waiting on paperwork.

If you're in a co-op or condo, we also prepare the drawings and documentation most alteration agreements require, carry the certificate of insurance your board will ask for, and work within whatever elevator, work-hour, and floor-protection rules your building has β€” we've been through this process in buildings across nearly every neighborhood we serve.

Full Kitchen Remodeling in Brooklyn

Complete gut renovations β€” layout, cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting, and plumbing β€” planned around your building's quirks.

  • What's Included in a Full Kitchen Remodel β€” A full remodel with us typically covers demolition and disposal, layout changes where the wall isn't load-bearing, new cabinetry, countertops, a tile or stone backsplash, flooring, lighting design and installation, and updated plumbing fixtures and connections.
  • Planning Around Brooklyn's Older Building Stock β€” Most of the brownstones and rowhouses we work in were built between the 1880s and 1930s, and the kitchen is almost always in the rear extension β€” a narrow, single-loaded space built around a chimney chase or old dumbwaiter shaft.
  • Co-op and Condo Board Approval Process β€” If you're in a co-op or condo β€” common across Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and much of the borough's prewar housing stock β€” your board almost certainly requires an alteration application before work begins: drawings, a contractor's certificate of insurance naming the building as additional insured, and sometimes a refundable renovation deposit.

Kitchen Cabinet Installation & Refacing in Brooklyn

New custom or semi-custom cabinets, or a refacing upgrade that keeps your existing boxes and swaps doors, fronts, and hardware.

  • Full Replacement vs. Refacing: How We Help You Decide β€” We start by opening a few cabinet doors and checking the box construction.
  • Cabinet Styles That Work in Brownstones and Prewar Apartments β€” Shaker-style doors remain the most popular choice across the Brooklyn kitchens we work in, largely because they read as classic in a 1900s brownstone and clean/modern in a renovated loft condo without looking out of place in either.
  • Measuring Around Non-Standard Walls and Corners β€” Very few prewar Brooklyn kitchens have perfectly square corners or standard wall spacing β€” chimney chases, old dumbwaiter shafts, and settling over a century add up.

Countertop Installation in Brooklyn

Quartz, granite, butcher block, and more β€” templated, fabricated, and installed, including logistics for walk-ups with no service elevator.

  • Popular Countertop Materials for Brooklyn Kitchens β€” Quartz is currently the most requested material across the neighborhoods we serve β€” it's non-porous, doesn't need sealing, and holds up to daily use without the maintenance that natural stone requires.
  • Templating and Delivery Challenges in Walk-Up Brownstones β€” Stone slabs are heavy and rigid, and a narrow brownstone stairwell with tight turns at each landing can make delivery genuinely difficult without planning ahead.
  • Elevator and Building Access Logistics for Condos and Co-ops β€” Most Brooklyn condo and co-op buildings require freight elevator reservations and hallway/elevator padding before any large delivery, and many restrict deliveries to specific hours or days.

Kitchen Island Design & Installation in Brooklyn

From a full seating-and-storage island to a rolling cart alternative for tight galleys β€” sized to fit your actual floor plan.

  • Does Your Kitchen Have Room for an Island? β€” The honest first question is a tape measure question, not a design question.
  • Peninsula and Rolling-Cart Alternatives for Tight Galleys β€” A peninsula β€” counter and cabinetry attached to a wall on one end instead of freestanding on all four sides β€” often works in kitchens where a full island doesn't, since it doesn't need clearance on the attached side.
  • Running Plumbing and Electrical to an Island β€” A prep sink, a beverage fridge, or simple outlets in an island all mean running new supply, drain, or electrical lines under the floor to reach it β€” which usually means opening the subfloor or, in a ground-floor brownstone kitchen, sometimes the basement ceiling below.

Kitchen Flooring Installation in Brooklyn

Tile, hardwood, LVP, and more β€” leveled, waterproofed, and installed to hold up in a real working kitchen.

  • Flooring Materials That Hold Up in a Working Kitchen β€” Porcelain tile is our most-recommended option for genuinely heavy kitchen use β€” it's essentially waterproof and extremely durable, with the tradeoff of a harder, colder surface underfoot.
  • Leveling and Repairing Uneven Prewar Subfloors β€” A building that's stood for a century has settled, and it's rarely settled evenly β€” we regularly find kitchen subfloors that are a half-inch or more out of level across the room in Brooklyn's older brownstones and prewar buildings.
  • What We Do When We Find Old Vinyl Tile β€” Vinyl floor tile installed before the early 1980s β€” the classic 9-by-9 or 12-by-12 squares common in Brooklyn kitchens that haven't been touched since a midcentury renovation β€” sometimes contains asbestos.

Kitchen Backsplash Installation in Brooklyn

Tile backsplashes that protect your walls, tie your countertop and cabinets together, and can visually open up a small kitchen.

  • Tile and Material Options for Backsplashes β€” Classic 3-by-6 subway tile remains the most requested option across the Brooklyn kitchens we work in, largely because it suits both a traditional brownstone kitchen and a more modern renovated space equally well.
  • Prepping Uneven Plaster Walls Common in Prewar Kitchens β€” Original plaster walls in Brooklyn's prewar buildings are frequently out of flat by more than tile installation tolerates, and decades of paint layers can prevent tile adhesive from bonding properly.
  • Full-Height Backsplashes Behind Ranges and Under Cabinets β€” A full-height backsplash β€” running from countertop to the underside of the upper cabinets, or even higher behind the range as a dedicated statement panel β€” has become a common request, particularly for anyone who cooks frequently and wants meaningfully better splash protection than a standard 4-inch backsplash provides.

What Our Customers Say

β€œThey knew exactly what our co-op board's package needed before we even asked β€” drawings, insurance, all of it. Zero back-and-forth with the board. The kitchen itself came out better than the rendering.”— Danielle K., Park Slope
β€œWe're in a converted loft with a freight elevator and strict work hours, and they scheduled every delivery around it without a single missed window. Full open-concept kitchen, done in about eight weeks.”— Marcus V., Williamsburg
β€œFound old wiring behind our kitchen wall that honestly should've been replaced decades ago. They flagged it immediately, gave us a clear price to fix it, and didn't try to upsell us on anything else.”— Rosa D., Bensonhurst
β€œGalley kitchen in our brownstone was barely wide enough to open the oven door before. They redesigned the storage completely without moving a single wall and it feels like a different room.”— Elena F., Brooklyn Heights
β€œGas line move for our new range was handled start to finish β€” permit, licensed plumber, inspection scheduled. No stress on a part of the project I honestly didn't understand going in.”— Anthony M., Bensonhurst

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle the co-op or condo board approval paperwork for us?

Yes. Most Brooklyn co-ops and many condos require an alteration application before we can start β€” drawings, a scope of work, and a certificate of insurance naming the building as additional insured. We prepare this package during the design phase for nearly every project.

Will I need a permit for my kitchen remodel?

It depends on scope. Cosmetic work like cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and flooring generally doesn't require a city permit. Anything involving gas lines, new or relocated plumbing, electrical panel work, or a load-bearing wall requires a permit and, in most cases, a licensed architect or engineer's DOB filing β€” we handle this as part of the project.

Can you work in my apartment while I'm still living there?

In most cases, yes. We isolate the work area with dust containment, protect floors and hallways, and coordinate around your building's approved work hours and elevator rules so the rest of your home stays livable during construction.

How long does a typical kitchen remodel take in Brooklyn?

A cosmetic refresh (cabinets, countertops, backsplash) usually takes one to three weeks. A full gut renovation typically runs six to ten weeks once permits are in hand, longer if a DOB filing or co-op board approval is on the critical path, since those move at the city's or the board's pace.
