Our Kitchen Renovations Service

A Planning-First Kitchen Contractor.

Multi Construction Co. is a specialist kitchen renovation contractor serving New York City since 1989. We manage layout planning, material selection, custom cabinetry, structural coordination, permits, and construction — all under one accountable team, with no subcontractor hand-offs.

Our approach is straightforward: resolve every decision before demolition begins. That single discipline — planning before building — is what prevents the cost overruns and timeline extensions that define too many NYC kitchen renovations.

"A kitchen renovation is not just construction — it is a carefully sequenced series of decisions, each one building on the last."

What Our Service covers.

Every Discipline, One Accountable Team

We manage every phase of your kitchen remodel in-house — no subcontractor hand-offs, no accountability gaps. Here’s everything within our scope.

01

Space Planning & Layout Design

Layouts built around how you actually cook — work triangle efficiency, traffic flow, and storage needs resolved before a single cabinet is ordered.

02

Custom Cabinetry & Storage

Built to your kitchen's exact dimensions. Designed as permanent architectural features, maximizing storage where every inch matters.

03

Countertop & Surface Installation

Quartz, marble, granite, and porcelain slab. Selection guided by cooking habits, maintenance preferences, and budget — not just appearance.

04

Plumbing & Gas Coordination

All plumbing and gas work managed in-house. Rerouting, shutoff access, and NYC DOB compliance handled from day one of planning.

05

Electrical & Appliance Planning

Dedicated circuits, load planning, under-cabinet lighting, and appliance specs coordinated together for safe, code-compliant operation.

06

Ventilation & Range Hoods

Ducted and recirculating systems planned around your building's exterior access constraints — assessed and spec'd before construction begins.

07

Tile, Backsplash & Flooring

Surface layouts finalized before installation. Tile alignment, grout sizing, and edge transitions planned and reviewed with you.

08

Permits & Board Approvals

NYC DOB filings, co-op and condo alteration agreements, and managing agent coordination — all prepared and tracked by our team.

Our Kitchen Renovation Process.

From First Meeting to Final Walkthrough

The construction process begins after every decision has been finalized.

1. Site visit & Consultation

We visit your home to assess structural conditions, utility locations, building type, and access constraints. We discuss goals, cooking habits, storage needs, and budget range.

2. Design Development & Material Selection

Layout developed, materials specified, appliances selected. 3D visualization tools confirm decisions before anything is ordered. All elements are finalized at this stage.

3. Permit & Approval Submission

All NYC DOB permit applications and board alteration documents prepared and filed. We track the review process and follow up proactively.

4. Renovation Execution

Planning decisions are carried directly into construction by one accountable team, preserving intent under real jobsite conditions.

5. Punch List & Final Walkthrough

Thorough walkthrough before the project closes. All outstanding items resolved, permits closed with NYC DOB, and full documentation provided to you.

Building Experience

We Work in Every NYC Building Type

Kitchens perform differently depending on the building. Each type introduces limits that must be addressed early by a qualified kitchen renovation contractor in NYC.

Pre-War Apartments

Older systems are upgraded carefully while respecting structural conditions.

Post-War & Newer Construction

Layouts are refined for efficiency, access, and modern appliance requirements.

Brownstone & Town Houses

Vertical services, ventilation paths, and load limits are planned with foresight by kitchen remodeling contractors in NYC.

I would highly recommend Shafayet and his team at Multi Construction. The job was an extensive gut and renovation of a 100+ year old five story building. The work included structural work to repair / replace old decaying beams and to add new support beams. The work included the relocation of 2 full new kitchens; all new internal plumbing; an upgraded electrical system; and the installation of split air conditioning systems throughout all 5 floors. The millwork / finishing / painting done by his team were meticulous, and we ended up 2 beautiful new apartments - a triplex with 2 bedrooms 2 baths, and a duplex with 2 bedrooms / 2 baths. Shafayet was always responsive to our inquiries / requests and provided solutions to the many problems that were encountered in a project of this size. He also coordinated well with the architect and third party vendors that were involved in this project too. His bid for the job was very reasonable compared to the bids of 4 other general contractors. Great value overall!

Shafayet gave a prompt and detailed estimate for a fairly big painting job. His crew did very good work, they showed up on time every day and even came on a weekend to complete the job. That was extremely helpful to me. Highly recommend their services.

Our brownstone coop hired Multi to paint the building and repair the wooden molding. Their price was competitive , but what really made us appreciate Multi was that they always did what they said. Their hands-on owner, Shafayet, was responsive and fully transparent, and even asked for a meeting when he sensed a disconnect regarding our expectations and the treatment we chose. For credibility we might say that his people are skilled, but that it's important to take care to monitor scaffolding people, whom Multi doesn't directly supervise. In our view he turned out to be exactly what we were hoping to find -- instead of IBM, a local, smallish outfit that led with scrappiness and responsiveness. Highly recommended

Multi Construction completed a gut renovation of our home that had not been renovated since the 1960s. Shafayet and his crew did a truly amazing job, and I am so thankful for all their time, care, and commitment to making our house special and beautiful. This was a big job. We installed 2 new kitchens, 2 new bathrooms, rebuilt the back wall of our house to add large windows, added a deck, skylights, and a bunch of other things in between. At every step, Shafayet worked hard to make sure the house turned out perfectly. I have nothing but the best things to say about our new home and the care Multi put in to make it right. For this type of work, we received bids from a number of different people. Multi priced everything very competitively and they are very transparent on costs for change orders. I recommend them highly, and I will be sending friends to them for years to come!

We have truly nothing but the best things to say about our partnership with Shafayet and our finished kitchen. The entire process was smooth from start to finish and I never experienced one ounce of unprofessionalism from Shafayet or ANYONE on his team. In fact, in many instances, Shafayet and his team went above and beyond what we asked of them with no battles or complaints. Some details: *Shafayet employs skilled, honest, confident and respectful PROFESSIONALS. We were warned when we received Shafayet's quote that 1-2 guys would be doing ALL the work (demo, plumbing, painting, electrical, etc.). That is NOT the case at all. Anthony, who installed our cabinets, puts his heart and soul into the work, and it was not a clearcut, easy job. He will not put in a single screw until he knows it's perfect or can explain any issues he may foresee. Anthony never cut a corner. And Glenn, the electrician, is one of the nicest human beings I've met, but also a really skilled electrician. He knows what he has to do to get the job done, which ultimately makes you feel like you're in good hands. *Shafayet is a busy guy but always responded to my calls and my texts in a timely manner. A renovation is stressful enough, I can't imagine the added stress of not being able to communicate with your GC (and trust me, we had that with other vendors - unrelated to Multi Construction Co- during this renovation). *Shafayet is flexible. I told Shafayet from the beginning that I had my own painter and wallpaper-er. He was fine with that. Many of GCs we interviewed said it had to be their whole team or they wouldn't do it. I can see the efficiencies of having one team for the whole project, but Shafayet put that aside to please us. *Shafayet keeps a close eye on all of his projects and delegates appropriately. Shafayet was not in our home every single day, but he was always there on important days and he would check in on progress every few days. He holds his guys to a high standard of quality in their work. *The best way to build a relationship with Shafayet is to simply treat him the way you want to be treated. I have read some of the poor reviews on Yelp here and can honestly say I do not share one iota of their experience. I'm not sure if they approached Shafayet in a manner that quickly put him on the defense or he felt was condescending. But I felt and I believe Shafayet felt that we were on equal ground and that made our working relationship successful. I treated all my interactions with him with respect and I feel he did the same back. I would be thrilled to work with Shafayet and his team again and highly recommend him for other jobs.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’ve answered some of the most common ones below.

A cosmetic refresh takes three to five weeks. A mid-range remodel runs six to ten weeks. A full gut renovation generally takes twelve to sixteen weeks from permit approval. Permit processing and custom material lead times are the most common sources of extension.

Most renovations involving plumbing, gas, or electrical work require NYC DOB permits. A simple cosmetic update — new paint, cabinet refacing, appliance swap without utility changes — generally does not. We advise you at consultation and handle all filings.

Yes, in virtually all cases. Co-ops and condos require an alteration agreement with contractor insurance certificates, scope documentation, and sometimes architectural drawings. We prepare this documentation as part of our standard process.

For cosmetic work or phased renovations, many clients remain in their homes. For full gut renovations with extended periods without running water, gas, or electricity, temporary relocation is generally more practical. We discuss this during planning so you can prepare.

A remodel updates finishes and fixtures while keeping the existing layout and utility locations. A gut renovation removes everything to the studs and reconfigures the space from scratch. Gut renovations offer maximum flexibility but require permits and longer timelines.
