How long does Co-op or Condo board approval take for a kitchen renovation?

Co-op and Condo board approval in NYC typically takes 4 to 8 weeks after submitting a complete alteration package. The exact timeline depends on your building's board review schedule and management company requirements.

Do I need NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) permits for my kitchen remodel?

You need NYC DOB permits if your renovation involves moving gas lines, altering structural walls, or significantly rerouting plumbing or electrical systems. Cosmetic updates and replacing cabinets in the existing layout typically do not require DOB permits.

What is the average cost of a custom kitchen renovation with Urban Homes?

Full-service luxury kitchen renovations in Manhattan generally range from $75,000 to $200,000+, depending on room dimensions, custom cabinetry selection, high-end appliances, and structural changes.

How long does a full kitchen renovation project take from design to completion?

A typical NYC kitchen renovation project takes 12 to 16 weeks from design sign-off to completion, including design selection, board approvals, cabinet lead time, and construction.

What is the difference between custom local millwork and European kitchen cabinetry?

European cabinetry uses frameless modular construction with engineered hardware for maximum efficiency, while custom local millwork offers fully bespoke sizing for non-standard spaces or historic architectural details.
