Kitchens in Irvington
The Hudson River village of Irvington, in the Town of Greenburgh, takes its name from Washington Irving, whose Sunnyside home lies just north. The Old Croton Aqueduct Trail crosses the village.
Many older houses and former estates sit on wooded slopes that rise sharply from the water. Older kitchens here may have plaster walls, uneven floors and older systems, which adds prep work before cabinets and counters can go in.
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 Irvington. 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 Irvington, 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.
