Kitchen renovation · Hudson Valley
Kitchen remodeling that changes how the whole floor works.
Full and partial kitchen renovations for homes in Pawling, Stormville and across Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester Counties—cabinetry, structure, trades and finish carpentry handled by one owner-led team.
Kitchen remodeling
The kitchen is rarely just the kitchen.
Most kitchen projects start as a cabinet conversation and quickly become a question about the wall between the kitchen and everything else. That is structural work, and it is the part that decides whether the finished room actually feels different.
Cyrwus Contracting handles both halves of that job. Marek and the crew do the framing, the headers, the cabinetry installation and the trim, and coordinate the electrician, plumber and flooring installer around the same sequence—so the rough-in supports the layout you chose rather than limiting it.
Because the same person scopes the work and runs the site, decisions that come up mid-project—an unexpected pipe in a wall, a cabinet run that wants another two inches—get answered on the spot instead of waiting on a subcontractor chain.
Ask Marek about your projectWhat the work covers
From demolition to the last piece of trim.
A kitchen renovation touches nearly every trade in the house. These are the parts Cyrwus Contracting carries directly.
Cabinetry & millwork
Cabinet installation, islands, pantry and built-in storage, crown, light rail and scribe work against out-of-square walls.
Trade coordination
Electrical and plumbing rough-in sequenced around the cabinet plan, plus appliance rough openings and venting.
Surfaces & finish
Tile and backsplash, flooring transitions, doors, casing, base and the paint and touch-up work that closes the job.
Planning
What shapes a kitchen's scope and schedule.
Every kitchen prices differently. These are the factors that move a project the most, and the questions worth answering before the first estimate.
Is a wall coming out?
Removing a load-bearing wall means engineering, headers and sometimes new posts down to the foundation. It is the single largest swing in most kitchen budgets.
Are the utilities moving?
Keeping the sink and range where they are keeps plumbing and gas work minimal. Relocating either one means opening floors or walls and adding trade time.
Cabinetry lead times
Semi-custom and custom cabinetry can run many weeks from order to delivery. Ordering early is usually what keeps a kitchen schedule honest.
Age of the house
Older Hudson Valley homes often reveal knob-and-tube wiring, undersized framing or settled floors once the room is open. Planning for that is cheaper than reacting.
Living through it
A temporary kitchen, dust control and access routes are worth deciding before demolition, not during it.

Before you call
Kitchen remodeling questions.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen renovations run several weeks on site once demolition begins, but the honest answer depends on whether walls are moving, how many trades are involved and when the cabinetry actually arrives. Marek walks through a realistic sequence after seeing the space.
Can you remove a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room?
Yes. Structural remodeling is a core part of the work—new headers, posts and the framing needed to carry the load are handled directly, with engineering and permit requirements identified during planning.
Do you install cabinets I buy myself?
Yes. Homeowners often purchase cabinetry through a designer or supplier and have Cyrwus Contracting handle demolition, structure, installation, trim and trade coordination.
Do you handle the electrician and plumber?
Yes. Licensed trades are scheduled around the carpentry so rough-in happens in the right order and inspections are not holding up finish work.
Can we stay in the house during a kitchen renovation?
Usually, yes—with a plan. Access routes, dust control and a temporary kitchen setup are discussed before demolition so you know what the weeks ahead look like.
