Greene Group Construction builds kitchens across Southampton from an office at 18 Park Circle in Quogue — inside the Town of Southampton. We know which counter the permit goes to, whether your address sits in the Village or the Town, and how to schedule a seasonal house. Start with our Long Island kitchen remodeling overview.
Hamptons & East End Kitchen Work
Demolition day through the last piece of stone — our own crews, our own trucks, one contract.


Southampton kitchen remodeling means renovation under one of two jurisdictions: the incorporated Village of Southampton, which runs its own building department and its own Chapter 77 noise code, or the Town of Southampton, which reviews applications through its Land Management, Building and Zoning Division at 116 Hampton Road and covers the hamlets. Which one reviews your kitchen depends on which side of the village line your address sits. Our own office is in the Town of Southampton, so we file here constantly.
Greene Group Construction’s office is at 18 Park Circle, Quogue, NY 11959. We run the demolition, the debris hauling, the structural work and the finished kitchen under one contract, with our own carpenters and project managers on the job and licensed trades we coordinate for electrical and plumbing. This page is about Southampton specifically — its jurisdiction, its housing stock and what a kitchen costs here. For how we run kitchens generally, see our Long Island kitchen remodeling overview and our Hamptons & East End kitchen remodeling page.
Confirming jurisdiction is the first thing we do, before a layout is drawn. A Southampton mailing address may sit inside the Village of Southampton, outside it in the Town of Southampton, or on a line that decides who reviews your kitchen. The Village runs its own building department and its own review calendar, and it governs construction noise under Village Code Chapter 77 rather than deferring to the Town. Historic-district and architectural-review considerations are more likely inside the Village.
The Town of Southampton — covering Southampton hamlet, Water Mill, Bridgehampton, Hampton Bays, Quogue and the areas west of the canal — files with the Town’s Land Management, Building and Zoning Division, at 116 Hampton Road, Southampton; confirm the current filing method with the division before you prepare a submission. No East End jurisdiction, Village or Town, publishes a guaranteed turnaround for a residential kitchen permit, so any contractor quoting you “two weeks for a Southampton permit” is guessing. This is general information about published code, not legal or permitting advice; verify current requirements for your address.
Southampton housing runs from oceanfront and estate-section shingle-style houses that want open plans, a large working island and a real indoor-outdoor transition, to older Village houses on tighter lots where character and stricter review argue for a restrained plan that reads original. On the open-plan projects, structural work usually drives the schedule because the layout people want needs a beam.
Off the water, year-round Southampton homes support the mid-market tier and a more conventional renovation. Across all of it, our crews start the day out here rather than west of the canal, which means a 7:00 a.m. start is an actual start time and an inspector call-back is a same-afternoon drive, not a lost day.
These are Greene Group’s own observed East End tiers, not a published index: a major or gut kitchen realistically runs $85,000–$150,000, upscale $150,000–$250,000, and high-end custom starts around $250,000. The $45,000–$85,000 mid-market tier applies mostly to year-round homes off the water. No credible dataset splits Long Island kitchen cost by town, so treat any Southampton average online as an estimate; see our Long Island kitchen remodel cost guide for the full methodology.
A note on property taxes. New York’s RPTL §421-f Home Improvement Exemption can shield a portion of the added assessed value of a kitchen renovation on a declining multi-year scale, but it is opt-in by locality and the rules (minimum spend, building age, and whether your town or village has adopted it) vary. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm adoption and eligibility with your own assessor before assuming it applies. Separately, the federal residential energy credits under IRC §25C and §25D were repealed for property placed in service / expenditures made after December 31, 2025 under Public Law 119-21, so there is no 2026 federal credit for kitchen items.
The variable that actually breaks a kitchen timeline is rarely labor — it is cabinetry lead time. Vendors we buy from quote roughly four to six weeks for semi-custom and eight to fourteen weeks for custom cabinetry, and as of July 2026 the Section 232 tariff on imported cabinets and vanities sits at 25% with a scheduled increase to 50% deferred to January 1, 2027. For a Southampton kitchen with custom cabinetry, an order placed late in 2026 can land on the wrong side of that date, so we date-stamp the guidance in your written scope and tell you which side your package falls on before you sign.
Ask for the number, then verify it. Greene Group Construction holds Suffolk County Home Improvement Contractor license #HI-72958 and Nassau County Home Improvement Contractor license #EF-65498. Our own carpenters and project managers run your Southampton job start to finish; electrical and plumbing are performed by licensed Nassau and Suffolk trade contractors we have worked with for years, and we coordinate the inspections and stand behind the result. Ask any contractor for a certificate of insurance naming you, and a written scope that names the cabinet line, the countertop material, who hauls the debris and who pulls the permit.
Do I permit my Southampton kitchen through the Village or the Town?
It depends on your exact address. The incorporated Village of Southampton permits separately from the Town of Southampton and enforces stricter code, including its own Chapter 77 noise rules. Town applications are filed with the Town of Southampton Land Management, Building and Zoning Division at 116 Hampton Road, Southampton; confirm the current filing method with the division. Confirming which jurisdiction your house sits in is the first thing we do.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Southampton?
Our observed East End tiers run $85,000–$150,000 for a major or gut kitchen, $150,000–$250,000 upscale, and $250,000 and up for high-end custom, with a $45,000–$85,000 mid-market tier mostly for year-round homes off the water. No dataset splits kitchen cost by town, so treat any Southampton average as an estimate.
Is there a summer construction ban in Southampton?
There is no summer construction moratorium in the Town of Southampton Code. What people describe is the noise and work-hour rules — the Town’s hours and the Village of Southampton’s own Chapter 77 — which is why we put loud demolition and framing in the shoulder season and keep quiet finish work for the summer. Incorporated villages set their own hours and some tighten in summer: the Village of Westhampton Beach prohibits construction activity on Sundays during July and August.
How do I verify a Southampton kitchen contractor is licensed?
Ask for the number and verify it with the county. Greene Group holds Suffolk County HIC #HI-72958 and Nassau County HIC #EF-65498. Then ask for a certificate of insurance naming you and a written scope that says who pulls the permit and who hauls the debris.
