Company:
Kitchen Tune-Up Brooklyn is a family-run, locally owned company known for high-end craftsmanship, professionalism, and consistency. Our reputation is built on 135+ five-star reviews, long-term client relationships, and respect for the trade.

We run organized, well-planned jobs—not chaos. Our installers work in high-quality residential kitchens across Brooklyn and Manhattan, often in apartments and occupied homes where precision, communication, and teamwork matter as much as technical skill. This is a LEAD role — not an entry or helper position.

We are not a volume shop and do not use shortcuts. We value installers who take pride in doing things the right way, communicate clearly with teammates and homeowners, show up prepared and professional, and understand that great kitchens are built by strong teams, not egos.
