Beautiful Homes, Thoughtfully Built Inside and Out
The Four Services
From initial concept to final completion, our team provides a seamless design-build experience handling everything from new home construction to kitchen, bathroom, and interior renovations, all tailored to reflect your unique style and vision.
Kitchen & Bath Remodeling
Targeted renovation of kitchens and bathrooms, from focused updates to complete gut renovations, supported by CIC's in-house design center and material showroom.
New Construction
Ground-up construction of a custom home on vacant or cleared land, from site evaluation and architectural planning through permitting and certificate of occupancy.
Design-Build Services
The delivery model for every project in this category. CIC's design team and construction team operate under one contract, sharing budget, timeline, and accountability from consultation through punch list. This is not a separate service — it is the process through which all services are executed.
Interior Renovations & Remodels
Broad transformation of existing residential spaces, open-concept conversions, second-story additions, basement finishing, master suite expansions, and multi-room projects that reshape how a home functions.

Homes Designed to Balance Style and Function
How These Services Relate
Design-Build is the delivery framework for every other service here. The design and construction teams are one unit, decisions made in the design phase are informed by construction knowledge, and the build is always guided by the original design intent.
New Construction applies when there is no existing structure. Interior Renovations applies when broad structural transformation of an existing home is needed. Kitchen & Bath Remodeling operates within a defined scope inside an existing home, drawing on the same process and team as every other service in this category.
Homeowners frequently begin with one service and expand into another. Because the team is integrated, those transitions happen without changing contractors or losing project continuity.

As featured on NBC’s George to the Rescue
Center Island Gives Back
When NBC’s George Oliphant and the team from George to the Rescue met Jackie Pearsall, a devoted mother, wife, and School Teacher, living with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), they discovered a Commack Mom struggling to adapt their home to the rapid progression of his illness.
