Expert kitchen remodel services for Manhattan homes and businesses
A kitchen remodel is one of the most impactful home improvements you can make — and in Manhattan, the specifics depend on your building type, layout constraints, and neighborhood character. Whether you're opening up a galley kitchen, installing custom cabinetry, or creating a chef's kitchen with professional-grade appliances, Lion Construction Management handles everything from design coordination through final installation — plumbing, electrical, custom millwork, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and lighting — with the precision and quality that Manhattan homeowners demand.
Manhattan's architectural fabric — from landmarked pre-war co-ops along Park Avenue to cast-iron lofts in SoHo and modern glass towers in Hudson Yards — presents renovation challenges unlike any other borough. Every project requires navigating co-op and condo board approval processes, alteration agreements, building management schedules, and often Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) review. Lion Construction Management has completed hundreds of Manhattan renovations, building deep relationships with building managers, doormen, and superintendents across the borough.

Manhattan renovation projects follow a structured process shaped by the borough's unique building requirements. After your initial consultation, Lion Construction Management prepares a detailed scope of work and submits your building's alteration agreement package — including architectural plans, insurance certificates, and a construction schedule that complies with your building's specific rules. Once your co-op or condo board approves the project (typically 3-6 weeks), we file for DOB permits and begin material procurement. Construction in Manhattan typically occurs between 8 AM and 5 PM on weekdays, with all materials delivered through freight elevators on a pre-arranged schedule. Our project managers conduct weekly walkthroughs with you, provide photo updates, and manage every trade to keep the work moving efficiently within your building's constraints. Final inspections, building sign-offs, and security deposit return coordination are all part of our close-out process.
A typical kitchen remodel in Manhattan takes 8–14 weeks depending on scope. Co-op and condo board approvals, alteration agreements, and building management scheduling can add 2–4 weeks to the timeline. Lion Construction Management provides a detailed timeline during pre-construction so you can plan accordingly.
Kitchen remodel costs in Manhattan vary widely based on scope, materials, and building requirements. A moderate renovation typically starts around $50,000–$75,000, while high-end gut renovations with custom cabinetry and premium finishes can range from $100,000–$250,000+. We provide detailed estimates during the planning phase.
Most kitchen remodels in Manhattan that involve plumbing, electrical, or gas work require DOB permits.
