Kitchens in Pleasantville
Pleasantville is a village in the Town of Mount Pleasant, incorporated in 1897, with a compact downtown around its Metro-North station on the Harlem Line. Reader's Digest started here in the 1920s, and the Jacob Burns Film Center and a Pace University campus are in the village today.
Close to the station, many homes are colonials, capes and Tudors from the first half of the 20th century on modest lots, and their kitchens are often small, closed rooms at the back of the house. Farther out, postwar houses tend to have slightly larger kitchens that are still walled off. Making better use of tight space is the most common goal here.
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 Pleasantville. 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 Pleasantville, 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.
