Commercial Kitchen Construction in Queens
Turnkey commercial kitchen construction & build-outs across Queens — layout, equipment, ventilation & HVAC from one licensed crew.
Commercial Kitchen Construction · Queens
Opening or rebuilding a kitchen in NYC means juggling a layout, equipment lead times, plumbing, electrical, gas, ventilation, HVAC, and a stack of DOB and FDNY approvals — usually against a lease clock that's already running. Star HVAC & Hood Installation Company delivers turnkey commercial kitchen construction and build-outs so the whole thing runs on one schedule, with one crew accountable for the result.
Queens ranges from century-old low-rise storefronts to brand-new LIC towers, so every job is a different duct run — a short roof shot in Astoria, or a six-floor riser in a high-rise. We scope it on the free site visit.
What a turnkey build-out covers
Layout & Planning
A kitchen designed around your menu and workflow — line, prep, storage, and dish — so the space works on a busy night, not just on paper.
Equipment & Line Installation
Cooking equipment, refrigeration, and stainless set, connected, and tied into utilities, coordinated with your suppliers' lead times.
Ventilation & HVAC In-House
Hoods, grease duct, exhaust, make-up air, and HVAC built by the same crew — the highest-risk scope, owned start to finish.
Permits & Inspection
We coordinate with your GC, expeditor, and the DOB/FDNY inspections, and don't walk away until the kitchen passes and runs right.

Do you serve all of Queens?+
Yes — Astoria, Long Island City, Flushing, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Jamaica, Forest Hills, Corona, and every neighborhood in between. We cover the whole borough for hood, ventilation, HVAC, and build-out work.
Do you act as the general contractor or work alongside one?+
Either way. We can deliver a turnkey build-out or focus on the kitchen — layout, equipment, ventilation, and HVAC — while coordinating cleanly with your existing GC and expeditor.
Can you remodel an existing restaurant without a full gut?+
Yes. Many NYC jobs are targeted remodels — a new line, an added hood, a reworked exhaust, or a kitchen refresh — and we scope the work to what you actually need.
How do you keep a build-out on schedule?+
By self-performing the inspection-critical scope (hood, grease duct, make-up air, HVAC) and sequencing it early, so the parts most likely to delay sign-off aren't left to the last minute.
Do you handle the permits and inspections?+
We coordinate the mechanical scope with your expeditor and handle the FDNY/DOB inspections for the ventilation and HVAC work, so that part of the kitchen passes and gets signed off.
Which boroughs do you build in?+
All five: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
