Kitchens and baths in Northport
Victorian floor plans put the kitchen in the back corner, small and closed off. Opening it usually means a beam, and old balloon framing needs care about where the load lands.

Opening a wall
in a Northport
house.
Interior work is where the age of the housing stock stops being trivia and starts being budget. Plaster, old service and cast-iron waste lines are all normal here, and all cost money to do properly.
- What is behind your walls
Victorians and shingled village houses close to the harbour, many built before 1920, with post-war ranches spreading east toward East Northport.

- Incorporated Village of Northport Building Department
Northport is an incorporated village with its own building department, so the Town of Huntington does not handle it. Village review is thorough and worth budgeting real time for.
- Where the mechanicals should sit
Bayview and the lower streets by the dock sit in mapped flood zone. The bluff properties have the opposite problem — erosion and drainage rather than tide.

What is behind the walls in a Northport house?
Victorians and shingled village houses close to the harbour, many built before 1920, with post-war ranches spreading east toward East Northport. Victorian floor plans put the kitchen in the back corner, small and closed off. Opening it usually means a beam, and old balloon framing needs care about where the load lands.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Northport?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Incorporated Village of Northport Building Department. Northport is an incorporated village with its own building department, so the Town of Huntington does not handle it. Village review is thorough and worth budgeting real time for.
How long will my kitchen be out of action?
A full gut typically runs eight to twelve weeks on site. The schedule is usually set by cabinetry lead time rather than labour, which is why we order early and set up a temporary kitchen before demolition starts.
Will the electrical service need upgrading?
Often, in older Northport housing stock. A modern kitchen adds significant load, and where the existing panel cannot carry it we price the upgrade in the original estimate rather than raising it as a change order.
Do you do the millwork and tile too?
Yes, with our own finish carpenters. The crew that frames the opening is the crew that hangs the trim, which is why the reveals line up.
