What we handle
From demo and waterproofing to finish work and final punch list—our scope is built around the details that make a renovation last. Here are the most common services we provide and coordinate.
services
A full-service team for kitchens, bathrooms, and full-home renovations.
We manage the project end-to-end—planning, permits, scheduling, and execution—so your renovation stays organized, clean, and predictable. Where required, work is completed by licensed trades and inspected to meet local code and building requirements.

Planned as one project
The details behind
a complete renovation.
From the first opening in a wall to the final finish, each trade has a place in the plan. These capabilities are coordinated within your renovation, with the scope agreed before construction.
Discuss your scopeCertifications, permitting & approvals
Permits can slow projects down—especially in condos and co-ops. We handle filings, requirements, and coordination so you’re not guessing or chasing paperwork.
- Local permit applications, inspections, and close-outs
- Building management packages (COI, schedules, logistics)
- Field measurements + shop drawings / documentation as needed
- Expedited permitting support when available locally
Installations & finish build
Clean lines and correct installs come from planning and execution. We coordinate the trades, ordering, delivery windows, and on-site work so installs don’t stall.
- Cabinetry, vanities, built-ins, trim, and hardware
- Glass, mirrors, accessories, and ventilation
- Appliance installs + coordination for delivery / protection
- Final punch list and walkthrough close-out
Tile, marble & stonework
Tile and stone is where projects show their quality. We focus on proper prep, clean alignment, and durable detailing—especially in wet areas.
- Waterproofing systems + substrate prep (wet areas)
- Custom tile layout, niches, edges, and transitions
- Grout/caulk finishing for longevity and clean lines
- Slab selection + fabrication coordination (when applicable)
Restoration & repair
When you’re improving an older space, the “hidden” repairs matter. We restore and rebuild correctly so new finishes aren’t sitting on compromised substrate.
- Interior repair for brick, stone, stucco, tile, terrazzo, concrete
- Water-damage repairs and rebuilds
- Patch/skim, framing corrections, and substrate stabilization
- Selective demo + rebuild to preserve surrounding finishes
Floor prep & leveling
Great finishes start with flat, stable surfaces. We handle the prep work that prevents lippage, cracks, and uneven transitions.
- Surface prep and concrete leveling
- Self-leveling underlayment for tile and flooring
- Shot blasting / prep methods when required
- Subfloor corrections and reinforcement as needed
Gas work (licensed coordination)
Gas lines and appliances require careful coordination. We manage the planning and certified trade work for safe, code-compliant installation in tight spaces.
- Gas appliance hookups / disconnects (as allowed by code)
- Line routing for tight kitchens and mechanical areas
- Coordination with inspections and building requirements
- Safety-first testing and documentation (where required)
Custom carpentry
Built-ins and trim are where “craftsmanship” actually shows. We build and install clean, high-quality carpentry with a strong eye for detail.
- Custom cabinets, vanities, bookcases, and storage
- Fireplace surrounds, mantels, and millwork
- Doors, casing, baseboard, crown molding
- Hardware alignment and finish protection
Wood floors & planking
The best floors come from the right product selection and correct installation. We can guide selection and coordinate skilled installation to match your style and building conditions.
- New wood flooring installs and transitions
- Floor prep to prevent squeaks and movement
- Wall cladding / planking applications (as desired)
- Trim integration for a finished look
Electrical (planning + licensed execution)
Lighting and power should be practical and comfortable. We help plan circuits and fixtures, then coordinate licensed electrical work that fits your layout and usage.
- Switches, dimmers, sconces, vanity lighting, recessed
- Outlet placement, GFCI, and code-required updates
- Appliance circuits and under-cabinet lighting
- Bathroom ventilation and humidity management
Plumbing (rough-in to finish)
Bathrooms and kitchens only work when plumbing is done right. We manage rough-in planning and finish installs so fixtures, waterproofing, and layout all align.
- Rough-in updates and reconfiguration (as needed)
- Valves, drains, waterproofing integration (wet areas)
- Fixture install: sinks, toilets, tubs, showers
- Final testing, punch list, and inspection coordination

Working with HKB
A clear next step.
At every stage.
From the first conversation to the finishing details, understand what happens next and who is coordinating the work.
Tell us what you have in mind
Share your project, location and timing. HKB reviews the details and follows up to understand what you want to change.
Walk through the possibilities
A walkthrough helps establish measurements, scope and building requirements. Photos and plans help us prepare.
Agree on the scope
After the walkthrough, a proposal sets out the work. Selections, approvals and material lead times inform the plan.
Bring the plan to life
HKB coordinates the trades, project schedule and building logistics through construction and the final walkthrough.
Your first step is simply to tell us about the project.
Discuss your projectBefore we begin
A few questions,
answered.
What to expect as you plan your renovation.
HKB reviews your project details and follows up to discuss the scope and next steps. A walkthrough helps establish the work before a proposal is prepared. Photos and plans can be shared during follow-up.
No. Tell us what you want to change and any decisions you’ve already made. We can discuss layout and finish selections. If you have an architect or designer, share their plans so we can understand the scope and coordination required.
Pricing depends on the work, existing conditions, materials and finish selections. After a walkthrough and scope alignment, we prepare a proposal. If you have a budget in mind, mention it in your inquiry; if you need guidance, let us know.
Share your preferred timing as early in your planning as you can. The schedule depends on scope, approvals, material lead times and project availability. A requested start date helps us plan the conversation; it is not a confirmed booking.
Yes. We coordinate with building management on submission requirements, permitted work hours and delivery logistics as needed. Include any rules or approvals you already know about when describing your project.
When the project requires them, permits, inspections and building requirements are coordinated as part of the plan. We establish what applies to your scope and location.
Our focus is complete renovations rather than individual repairs or installation-only work. If several changes form part of a larger project, share the full scope so we can assess it together.
Kitchen remodeling, comprehensive bathroom renovations, combined renovations and full-home projects in Hoboken, Jersey City and Union City, with service across Hudson County, Bergen County, nearby North Jersey and parts of Manhattan. Share your ZIP code and scope so we can confirm project fit and coverage.
We coordinate the trades, material ordering, schedule and on-site work. The proposal and planning conversations establish scope and selections; the build progresses through the required inspections, finishing details and final walkthrough.
