Nassau & Suffolk County · Est. Design-Build

See your finished project
— before we touch a wall.

K&J designs every kitchen, bath, addition, finished basement, and aging-in-place renovation in 3D and prices it with a fixed-scope proposal — so Nassau & Suffolk homeowners always know what they're getting, and what it costs, before demo day.

Before You Call Anyone

Every homeowner has heard the horror story.

The contractor who quoted $40K and finished at $68K. The "estimate" that was really a guess. The three weeks that became four months. It's not that homeowners don't trust contractors — it's that a verbal promise and a vague number aren't a plan, they're a risk. So people wait, and keep living with the kitchen they hate for another year.

A drawing and a fixed number aren't a sales tactic. They're what turns "maybe someday" into a start date.

What We Build

Six specialties. Two crews, one point of contact.

You're not hiring a kitchen guy and a separate crew for the addition and hoping they coordinate. K&J runs every trade on your project through the same estimating system and the same person you can actually reach — backed by two dedicated crews and trade partners we've worked with for years.

How A Project Runs

The same four steps, every time.

No surprises on change orders, no "we'll figure it out on site." You see the drawing, the number, and the schedule before we touch a wall.

01

Site Visit

Week 1

We walk the space with you, take real measurements, and talk through what's actually possible with your layout, budget, and timeline — not a sales pitch, a working session.

02

Design & 3D Review

Week 2–3

Your project is designed in 3D with detailed plans and elevations, so you're approving finishes and layout — before they're framed in your house.

03

Fixed-Scope Proposal

Week 3–4

A line-itemized budget built from the actual drawing and tracked every step of the way — so the price you sign is the price you pay, with change orders logged and approved in writing.

04

Build & Walkthrough

Ongoing

Our lead carpentry team runs the job daily, backed by the same trusted trade partners on every project, with scheduled walkthroughs so you always know what's next.

Why It Feels Different

You see your kitchen before we build it.

  • Every detail confirmed in 3D before demo

    Layout, finishes, and fixtures are drawn and confirmed in 3D before a wall opens — not decided on the fly.

  • The same crews and trade partners, every time

    Carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and every other trade on your job come from the same team we've worked with for years — they know your house, not just today's punch list.

  • Every dollar tracked against the drawing

    Budgets are tracked line-by-line against the design — so you can see exactly what a change costs before you approve it, not after.

About K&J

Two carpenters. One phone number. Twenty years each.

K&J Contracting has grown almost entirely on referrals and repeat clients across Nassau & Suffolk County — not ad spend. That only works if the work holds up and the person who answers the phone is the same person who's been on your job since week one.

Every project runs through the same systems: designs drafted in 3D so you see the plan before it's built, and budgets tracked line-by-line — the same standards we'd want if we were hiring a contractor for our own house.

Common Questions

Before you pick up the phone.

Site visits are typically scheduled within a week of your call. From there, design and a fixed-scope proposal usually take 2–4 weeks depending on project size — full timeline confirmed at your site visit.

Yes. We manage permitting, engineering coordination where required, and inspection scheduling as part of every project — it's built into your proposal, not billed separately mid-job.

Many capital improvement projects in New York qualify for ST-124 exemption treatment. We'll flag whether your scope qualifies during the proposal stage and handle the documentation.

Framing, carpentry, and project oversight run through our own crews. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other specialty trades come from the same licensed partners we've worked with for years — they're as much a part of the team as anyone on our payroll.

Nassau and Suffolk County, Long Island — kitchens, bathrooms, additions, basements, and apartment renovations for homeowners across the island.
