LEVITTOWN HOUSING STOCK · WHAT WE WORK ON
The Homes That Started Suburbia — And Why They Need Structural Expertise
Levittown’s homes are where suburban America began. Built by Levitt & Sons between 1947 and 1951, the original Cape Cods were 750-square-foot homes designed for speed, not longevity. Over seven decades, homeowners have expanded, dormered, and modified these homes — but the original bones are still there, and the modifications weren’t always done right. Home remodeling Levittown NY demands a contractor who can read what’s behind the walls and fix what previous contractors left behind.
Slab Construction & Radiant Heat
Most original Levitt homes were built on concrete slabs with radiant heat tubing embedded in the floor — revolutionary in 1947, a serious constraint in 2026. You can’t simply relocate plumbing when the drains are encased in concrete. Kevin knows how to route new plumbing through walls and ceilings when the slab can’t be cut, and identifies where original radiant loops run before demo starts. Most contractors don’t know this until they’ve already made an expensive mistake.
70 Years of Modifications
Most Levittown homes have been expanded at least once — dormered second floors, rear additions, converted carports, enclosed porches. These modifications often created structural problems the original framing wasn’t designed to handle. We’ve opened walls to find beams undersized for the loads they carry, posts bearing on nothing, and additions tied in without proper connections. Kevin assesses the entire load path before starting any work — because what’s already there determines what’s possible next.
Town of Hempstead Permits
Levittown falls under the Town of Hempstead building department — the largest township in the country. Kevin has been working with Hempstead since the 1980s and knows the process, the requirements, and what inspectors look for at every stage. He identifies what permits are needed during the estimate and advises on the full application process. Most homeowners file the application themselves — or we can connect you with an expediter who handles the paperwork for you.
WHAT WE DO · HOME REMODELING LEVITTOWN NY
What Creatively Done Brings to Levittown
Structural Renovation
This is what separates us from every other contractor in central Nassau County. Load-bearing wall removal, LVL beam and steel I-beam installation, open floor plan conversions, and structural repairs for decades of bad modifications. The original Levitt homes were built with central bearing walls that chop the house in half. We remove them, install properly engineered beams, and open up the entire living space — permitted through the Town of Hempstead with stamped drawings from a licensed professional engineer. 40+ years of hands-on structural work. This isn’t a side service — it’s our core expertise.
Custom Millwork
Levittown homes were mass-produced with zero architectural detail — flat walls, builder-grade trim, no character. Custom millwork is the most transformative upgrade you can make. Wainscoting, fireplace surrounds, built-in cabinetry, crown molding, and custom trim — all designed, fabricated, and installed by Kevin, Matthew, and team. Hand-built on-site to fit your home’s exact dimensions. Kevin, Matthew, and team work directly on every job — no subcontractors for finish work of this kind. This is the work that turns a Levitt house into something with real craftsmanship and permanent value.
Whole-Home Renovation
Multi-room renovations that update your entire Levittown home as one coordinated project — structural modifications, finish carpentry, tile, flooring, and millwork handled by the same team from demolition through final walkthrough. No piecemeal updates from different contractors over different years with mismatched finishes. One project, one team, one cohesive result. This is the renovation that takes a 75-year-old Levitt home and makes it function like it was built today.
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
Complete kitchen and bathroom renovations — but done differently than the cabinet-and-countertop contractors. When your Levittown kitchen needs a wall removed, we do the structural work AND the finish work. When your bathroom sits on a slab with radiant heat underneath, we know how to route new plumbing without destroying the floor. The structural knowledge informs every decision, even in rooms where the walls stay put.
Interior Finishing & Renovation
Not every project needs a beam. Sometimes you need the finishing touches that give a Levittown home character it was never built with — new flooring, professional painting, architectural trim, and custom details that make rooms feel intentional rather than mass-produced. The facelift approach: maximum impact, minimum disruption.

Home Remodeling Levittown NY — Frequently Asked Questions
How close are you to Levittown?
Creatively Done Homes Improvements Inc. is based at 104 Jerusalem Ave. in Hicksville — about 3 miles from Levittown. We’re minutes from any address in Levittown, which means faster response times, easier site visits, and no travel premiums. 40+ years of hands-on experience renovating homes in Levittown and central Nassau County. In business since 1986.
Can you open up my Levittown home’s floor plan?
Yes — and this is what we specialize in. The original Levitt homes were built with central load-bearing walls that chop the house in half. We remove them and replace them with properly engineered LVL beams that carry the load while opening up the entire living space. Kevin coordinates with a licensed PE for stamped structural drawings and advises on the Town of Hempstead permit process. Read our complete guide to load-bearing wall removal in Nassau County.
What makes Levittown homes harder to remodel than other Nassau County homes?
Two things: slab construction and 70 years of modifications. Most original Levitt homes sit on concrete slabs with radiant heat tubing embedded in the floor, making plumbing relocation significantly more complex than in homes with basements. On top of that, most Levittown homes have been expanded multiple times — dormers, additions, enclosed porches — sometimes without permits or proper structural support. Kevin assesses every modification before starting new work to make sure the existing structure is sound before adding anything to it.
What does home remodeling Levittown NY typically cost?
It depends entirely on scope. A structural wall removal with beam installation runs $8,000 to $15,000. A full kitchen or bathroom renovation runs $20,000 to $85,000+. Whole-home renovations involving multiple rooms and structural changes are priced based on the specific work required. Kevin provides a detailed written estimate after a free in-home assessment — he walks your Levittown home, assesses the structure, identifies what’s needed, and gives you an itemized breakdown. No ballpark numbers and no surprises.
Why should I hire a structural contractor for my Levittown renovation?
Because most Levittown renovations involve structural decisions, even when they don’t look like it. Opening a kitchen, adding a doorway, removing a closet wall — in a 75-year-old home that’s been modified multiple times, every wall needs to be evaluated before it’s touched. A cabinet-and-countertop contractor won’t assess load paths or identify compromised framing from previous renovations. Kevin does — it’s what 40+ years of hands-on structural experience is for. The difference shows up in a house that’s still solid a decade later, not one with sagging floors and cracked drywall.
Do you handle both structural work and finishing in Levittown?
Yes — and that’s what makes us different. The same team that removes your load-bearing wall and installs the beam also builds your custom millwork, sets your tile, and finishes your trim. Most contractors do one or the other. We do both at the highest level — structural expertise and finish craftsmanship from the same hands. That means no miscommunication between trades, no finger-pointing, and a cohesive result from demolition through final walkthrough. We also serve neighboring Bethpage, Plainview, and Hicksville.
