NYC Kitchen Remodeling
Custom Kitchen Remodeling
Remodeling your kitchen or bathroom involves more details and planning than any other room of your home. Lawalth planning and design work is precise, with exact wall and cabinetry measurements, and esthetically perfected in any style that you like.
In New York City smaller or unusually-shaped kitchens may require customizations to make the best use of your available space.
