Consultation, Design, and Planning

Most importantly, you get a dedicated team providing open, transparent communication and a detailed plan to efficiently deliver your final product.

Material Selection, Sourcing, and Permitting

Our team of NYC kitchen interior designers will work closely with you to bring your dream kitchen remodel to life. The process begins with materials selection in which we walk you through your options making considerations such as:
• Durability    • Maintenance     • Budget    • Appearance    • Functionality
Our interior designers thoughtfully choose the right materials for each setting based on your goals and vision. During the design process, we assess your kitchen, noting high-traffic areas and other factors that impact how each material wears over time. We consider your lifestyle, selecting materials that offer a luxury feel with enough durability for everyday use and regular cleaning.
  
Luxury is rooted in quality craftsmanship. Looking for a stunning statement piece? We source beautiful stone countertops from local quarries and offer custom cabinetry to add that special touch to each project.

Once the final design is complete, our project manager starts the permitting process. Kitchen contractors in NYC need to be familiar with the City’s permitting guidelines. You may also need approval from your co-op or condo board. A dedicated project team manager will assess your permitting and approval requirements and put the process in motion quickly to move from design to construction quickly.
Demolition

During this stage, we will demo your old kitchen and install your new one. Depending on the final design and project scope, we may simply remove appliances and cabinetry. Larger projects may involve removing everything in the existing kitchen and shifting various systems, including plumbing and electrical. Some cases require hazard mitigation in existing structures such as mold or water damage.
What to Expect:
• Preparation: We'll cover and protect surrounding areas to minimize dust and debris.
• Timeline: Clear communication about the expected timeline to complete the demo.
• Daily Updates: Regular updates on progress and any unexpected findings or changes.
• Safety: Strict adherence to safety protocols to protect both our team and your home.
Construction and Installation

Following demolition, our construction team installs your new kitchen, starting with plumbing and electrical systems, which includes inspection. Our teams work quickly and efficiently to achieve quality results without drastically impacting your routine.
Our inclusive design-build teams are fast and effective. We give you one team with engineering and construction professionals who can expertly execute our interior designers’ plans for your kitchen.

Transparent and open communication alongside our “zero change order” model allows us to manage each client’s expectations and make the kitchen remodel process a more pleasant experience. Our Essential Portal lets you view all components of your project including the schedule, action items, renderings, permits, and other documents. We value each client’s input and listen to their needs to successfully execute each kitchen remodel.  

 
High-Quality Craftsmanship

Working with suppliers offering the highest quality craftsmanship results in a striking design that withstands the test of time. Materials including sturdy, natural wood, locally sourced stone, and strong yet stylish fixtures add value to your home and reduce the likelihood of premature wear and tear. 


Timely and Efficient

The one-team, “zero change orders” model perfected by Essential ensures timely completion of your kitchen remodel. With a single design-build team, we can manage the process from start to finish rather than coordinating a large team of multiple contractors. 
With Essential Portal, our clients can access the project schedule and see critical action items. This approach keeps you involved throughout the process while keeping you from getting overwhelmed by design choices.


No Change Orders

One of the standout features of our service is our “No Change Orders” policy. This means that once the project scope and budget are agreed upon, we commit to delivering the project without any unexpected additional costs or changes. Our detailed planning and thorough communication ensure that all aspects of the project are considered upfront, providing you with peace of mind and a smooth, predictable remodeling experience. This approach not only saves you time and money but also guarantees a stress-free renovation process, allowing you to focus on enjoying your new kitchen.


One Team to Manage All Construction and Remodeling Needs

Each client works with one team and a single project manager throughout the NYC kitchen remodeling process. These project managers serve as a single point person for design and build-related concerns. Assigning a single contact for each project allows for seamless and timely communication and a smoother kitchen remodel. 

What are change orders and do you have them?

We’ve all heard the horror stories of a contractor charging for work and items that were never disclosed in the original contract. We’ve heard the stories of a contractor removing a wall to discover a myriad of plumbing surprises, not accounted for in the initial proposal. This is not how we do business at Essential. Earning your trust is important to us, so we never charge for change-orders, unless you add work not detailed in the initial proposal.

How long do bathrooms take to finish?

While every project is unique, on average, it can take between 4 to 8 weeks to finish a bathroom remodel.

How long do kitchens take to finish?gularly?

While every project is unique, on average, it can take between 7 to 9 weeks to finish a kitchen remodel.

How long do floors take to finish?

While every project is unique, on average, it can take between 2 to 4 days to finish a floor remodel.

Does your company do everything for us?

Yes, we take great pride in being a full-service company, guiding you throughout the project to ensure your vision meets your expectations.

What do we have to handle?

The only things we request of you are clear and prompt decisions on finishes and prompt payments.

Can we live in our space during the renovation?

While in many instances, you can live in your space during a renovation, it really depends on the scope of your project. For example, it can be very challenging to live in your one bathroom apartment if we’re embarking on a bathroom renovation.
