"Rocky and his team did a phenomenal job renovating my newly purchased apartment. It was a total renovation including all rooms, floor, ceiling, walls, etc. and we could not be happier with the outcome. Here are the things you can expect when working with Rocky: -Transparency and flexibility in pricing -Consistent updates and communications throughout the projects -Notified early in case there are any potential issues -Timeliness and reliability, they do their best to get the job done within your time frame Rocky provided a very thorough assessment of the project up front, and even took a few measurements early before providing a quote. He had a very detailed scope document and was very honest and transparent when there were scope changes. Most importantly, he cares that you will be happy with the project, and sent his crew multiple times after the project completed to help out with minor touch ups. I highly recommend Empire Home Improvement for anything you need and will definitely be working with them again in the future. Thank you Rocky for all your help with our home!"

"I thought I'd provide a 6-month update on the work performed by Coen. In short, we selected them to do some minor renovations to the bedroom and living room - ceiling repair and electrical work - and then paint the entire interior of the unit. It was horrible. We settled a reduced fee and went our separate ways. Since then, we've had to remove the work they did and repaint the entire hallway, bathroom, and kitchen due to paint peeling. Based on the prior experience and having visited during the renovation, they didn't prep a single thing - the walls definitely needed that even prior to other work starting. The new contractors very clearly were able to show how the surfaces weren't prepared at all for paint related to dust under all of the layers from the drywall and other construction work they did. Not a single apology or visit from the owners to date. Don't waste your time, money, or effort on this company whatsoever."

When your kitchen renovation includes major modifications, you’ll likely need to apply for one or more permits. The cost of building permits typically ranges from $450 to $2,400. Don’t forget to factor in the timescales for application and approval. Electrical and plumbing permits are sometimes issued immediately, while structural applications can take 4 to 6 weeks to process. Always consult with relevant local parties, as permit requirements vary by state and city; you may need separate plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural work permits. You rarely need a permit to complete the work for basic remodels involving refacing cabinets, re-flooring, or re-tiling.
A kitchen remodel typically takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. The timeline depends on your project’s complexity, your experience level, and the size of your kitchen. Larger projects that involve structural changes, wall removals, and floor plan reconfiguration will take significantly longer than smaller remodels like installing new cabinets or countertops. The timeline can also vary depending on the number of hours you can dedicate to the project per day. For example, if you can only dedicate nights and weekends to the work, this’ll extend the timescale.
Cabinets are typically the most expensive component of a kitchen remodel. Even semi-custom cabinetry can cost $20,000 or more, depending on the size of your kitchen. If you want to save money on your kitchen remodel costs, consider just refacing your kitchen cabinets by putting in new doors and drawer fronts, for example, or just repainting them instead of installing new ones.
Cabinets are basically the building blocks of your kitchen; they take up the most space in the kitchen and are typically the first thing people notice when they walk in. Increasing their aesthetic value, therefore, has the potential to add the most value to your kitchen. Other features that’ll also add great value to your kitchen are energy-efficient appliances and durable and stylish countertops.
Remodeling a kitchen is, in most cases, worth the time, money, and effort. For starters, a great new kitchen can improve the livability and functionality of your home. Additionally, research shows that a kitchen remodel can return up to 60% to 80% of the money put into it, depending on the size of the remodel and location of the home or neighborhood.
