Heritage cabinetry for Brooklyn Heights brownstones and pre-war co-ops.
Brooklyn Heights was NYC's first designated Historic District (1965). Many of its 19th-century townhouses still have original moldings, plaster ceilings, and out-of-square corners — exactly the homes our design process was built to work in.

Brooklyn Heights' housing stock — Greek Revival, Italianate, and Federal townhouses from the 1820s–1880s — is some of the oldest and best-preserved in NYC. Working in these homes is half cabinetry, half restoration. We mill custom face frames, crown profiles, and door details to match existing trim, and we work around plaster, original wood floors, and architectural detail without damaging them.
Most Brooklyn Heights kitchens we build are inset shaker, painted in heritage colors — deep forest green, navy, soft cream, off-white — with traditional bead detail, cup pulls, and visible hinges that read as period-appropriate hardware rather than modern fixtures.
For the larger Brooklyn Heights pre-war co-ops — including buildings on Pierrepont, Montague, Hicks, and Henry — we handle alteration agreements, COIs, and the full board approval process. The 9–10 ft ceilings in these classic-six layouts let us push uppers higher and add display rows that read as architecture.
Custom kitchen cabinets in Brooklyn Heights run $350 per linear foot for full kitchens. Townhouse projects typically land $14,000–$28,000; co-op kitchens fall $10,000–$22,000. Free consultation, fixed quote, no design fee.

Yes — regularly. Interior cabinetry generally does not require Landmarks approval, but we work carefully around original moldings, plaster, and historic finishes, and we'll coordinate with your architect if Landmarks review is needed for any structural change.
Yes. We design custom face frames, crown moldings, and door profiles to match existing 19th-century trim, and work with our vetted millwork suppliers to replicate the profile precisely. For especially detailed homes we'll bring molding samples to your home to confirm the match.
Cabinetry alone for a Brooklyn Heights brownstone or co-op typically runs $10,000–$28,000. Full renovation including stone, appliances, plumbing, and electrical usually lands $45,000–$110,000+ depending on scope.
