Lenox Hill Kitchen Remodeling for Park and Lexington Avenue Co-ops
Home Design & Co is a Manhattan based, family owned firm with more than 15 years in NYC’s most selective buildings. In Lenox Hill we remodel kitchens inside postwar and pre-war co-ops between Park and Lexington, working to your board’s alteration agreement and the hours your building actually allows.
What makes a Lenox Hill kitchen renovation different
Boards that review in detail:
Lenox Hill co-op boards frequently send an alteration package back for revision. We assemble the full submission and correspond with the managing agent directly.
Narrow approved work windows:
Many buildings between Park and Lexington permit renovation only in set months and weekday hours. We build the schedule backward from your building’s calendar.
Insurance requirements ($5 Million+):
We carry the coverage Lenox Hill boards ask for, with the corporation and the managing agent named on the certificate.
Pre-war risers and waterproofing:
Moving a sink or dishwasher in an older line needs engineering sign-off. We file it and hold to the building’s wet-over-dry rules.
One service elevator, shared:
Deliveries compete with residents and other trades. We reserve elevator time ahead so a work day is never lost to logistics.
A block that never fully quiets:
With Weill Cornell and the Hospital for Special Surgery nearby, neighbors keep irregular hours. We give notice before noisy phases and respect quiet-hour rules.
We deal with each of these before they turn into delays, with one point of contact from filing to final walkthrough. Lenox Hill is part of our wider Upper East Side remodeling practice.

Why Lenox Hill homeowners hire us
Between Park and Lexington it is usually the approval process, not the construction, that sets your start date. We take that on so you are not chasing paperwork. We also remodel kitchens on the Gold Coast and in Carnegie Hill.
Board packages, start to finish
We prepare the alteration package, carry the $5M insurance coverage boards ask for, and deal with building management directly, so you are not translating between parties.
DOB filings and inspections
Permits filed, inspections scheduled and attended, sign-offs closed out. The city paperwork stays on our side of the table.
A project manager on your building’s clock
Elevator reservations, delivery windows, contractor registrations and debris removal, all planned against the hours your building actually permits.

Lenox Hill kitchen remodeling
See your kitchen before we build it
Every project opens with a one on one design session. We measure your kitchen, listen to how you actually use it, and produce detailed renderings so you can walk the layout before anything is ordered or demolished.
Real, photo-ready renderings: You approve cabinetry, finishes and lighting from 3D views, not from a verbal description.
No artificial marketing: Our portfolio and Instagram show photographs of completed NYC remodels, never stock imagery or invented before-and-afters.

Lenox Hill kitchen remodeling
A kitchen that fits a pre-war floor plan
Lenox Hill kitchens are often the original service layout: a closed room sized for staff, set behind the entry. We open it toward the living space where the risers allow, add real counter run and storage, and keep the proportions the apartment was built with.
Custom cabinetry, upgraded lighting and durable stone are specified to survive a building that will not let you back in to redo them.
Lenox Hill bathroom remodeling
Bathrooms planned around the waterproofing
Bathrooms in these buildings sit over a neighbor, so waterproofing and the wet-over-dry rule drive the plan before any finish is chosen. We detail the pan and the membrane, then design around them.
We carry the building requirements and approvals through to sign-off, and leave a room that is quiet, well lit and easy to keep.
