Queens & Metro Full Kitchen Renovation & Structural Beam Install

Project Classification: Full Structural Interior Transformation

Diagnostic Challenge

The Problem & Initial Inspection Findings

A compartmentalized 1950s kitchen layout with inadequate electrical capacity, outdated plumbing lines, and structural load-bearing walls preventing modern family living.

Contracted Scope

Comprehensive Scope of Work

Temporary hydraulic shoring and installation of a 16-foot structural W-section steel beam recessed into ceiling
Complete demolition of load-bearing partition to unify kitchen, dining, and family gathering spaces
Full rough-in of commercial gas lines, dedicated 20-amp appliance circuits, and multi-zone LED drivers
Installation of solid wood shaker cabinetry with soft-close Blum hardware and integrated pull-out pantries
Fabrication and precision seam installation of quartz waterfall island and seamless backsplash
Installation of commercial-grade ventilation ducting vented directly through the roof deck
Technical Execution

Phased Construction Methodology

1Phase 1: Structural Engineering & Shoring

Installed temporary jack posts to support second-story floor loads before hoisting the engineered steel beam.

2Phase 2: Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing

Upgraded sub-panel, ran dedicated home-run circuits, and re-routed gas supply lines.

3Phase 3: Cabinetry & Quartz Millwork

Laser-leveled floor bases, hung custom cabinetry, and digitally templated quartz waterfall slabs.

Engineering Challenges

Safely hoisting and securing a 450-pound steel beam within finished interior living spaces without causing ceiling sheetrock cracking or exterior structural shifting.

Final Verified Result

A stunning, light-filled culinary center with 60% increased countertop workspace, optimal entertaining flow, and fully permitted structural sign-off.
