Opening a wall
in a Rockville Centre
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
1920s colonials and Tudors near the village, post-war housing on the fringes, apartments near the station.

The village issues its own permits. It also owns its electric utility, so electrical service upgrades are coordinated with the village rather than with PSEG.

What is behind the walls in a Rockville Centre house?
1920s colonials and Tudors near the village, post-war housing on the fringes, apartments near the station. Panel upgrades here go through the village. We factor that into the schedule rather than discovering it at rough inspection.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Rockville Centre?
If you are moving plumbing, altering electrical or taking out a wall, yes — filed with Incorporated Village of Rockville Centre Building Department. The village issues its own permits. It also owns its electric utility, so electrical service upgrades are coordinated with the village rather than with PSEG.
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 Rockville Centre 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.
