Kitchens in Hawthorne
South of Pleasantville, the hamlet of Hawthorne sits in the Town of Mount Pleasant where the Taconic State Parkway and the Saw Mill River Parkway pass close by. Its housing is mostly mid-century single family homes on modest lots.
With modest lots, adding space by building out is often not practical, so homeowners here tend to work within the existing kitchen footprint. Rethinking the layout, adding taller cabinets and taking down a non-structural wall between the kitchen and dining room are common ways to gain room without an addition.
To get started, describe your kitchen on the estimate form: what you want to change, roughly how big the room is and when you would like the work done. We pass your request to a local kitchen contractor who works in Hawthorne. They contact you, visit to measure and give you a written price. You decide whether to go ahead.
Most kitchen projects in Westchester County fall into a few groups. A full remodel replaces cabinets, counters, flooring and lighting. Opening up the kitchen means taking out all or part of a wall, which needs an engineer and a permit if the wall is load-bearing. Smaller kitchen updates like new counters or lighting can make a big difference for less.
Before you hire anyone in Hawthorne, ask for a Westchester County home improvement license number and proof of insurance. Get the scope, materials, schedule and payment terms in writing, and ask who pulls any permit. Plan for a contingency of 10 to 20 percent in older homes.
