Breakfast Bar Installation

About Durabilt GC: Breakfast Bar Installation Experts in Staten Island, NY

A kitchen bar counter looks simple, but getting the height, overhang, and support right takes real planning. If any of these are off, you end up with a bar that’s uncomfortable to sit at or may not be properly supported. That’s exactly the kind of mistake Durabilt GC knows how to avoid. Since 1995, we have been helping Staten Island homeowners with kitchen upgrades, and breakfast bars are now one of the kitchen upgrades we get asked for most.

That experience is backed by real legal documents too. We’re a licensed and insured general contractor, so every installation follows the codes and structural standards your home deserves. Before any work begins, our team checks whether your existing counter or wall can actually hold up the bar you want. If it can’t, we can also handle a full countertop replacement as part of the same project. From there, we will create a bar that looks right and fits naturally into your kitchen.

What We Build

Our Breakfast Bar Installation Services

There isn’t just one way to put in a kitchen breakfast counter because every kitchen is different. The best setup depends on your layout, available space, and how you plan to use it. Here’s what we handle:

Countertop Extension Bars

We extend your existing island or counter into a full kitchen seating bar. We match the extension to your current countertop so it looks original. Our team builds out the overhang with the right support brackets underneath for a secure and finished look. The result gives you extra seating while keeping the design clean.

Wall-Mounted Breakfast Bars

We install a counter seating area directly to the wall using concealed brackets or a built-in support ledge to hold the bar securely in place. This option works well in kitchens without an island or counter to extend from. We typically set the height at 42 inches to match standard bar stools, or 36 inches for a more family-friendly setup.

Electrical & Lighting Additions

Make your new kitchen eating area more useful with added outlets and pendant lighting. We can include both as part of the same project, with licensed electricians handling the wiring safely, so your new seating area is fully functional from day one.

Why Staten Island Chooses Us

Why Choose Durabilt GC for Breakfast Bar Installation

A custom kitchen bar may be a smaller kitchen project, but it still needs to be done right, and not every contractor treats a small kitchen upgrade with the same care as a full renovation. At Durabilt GC, we give every kitchen seating bar setup the same care. Here’s what sets us apart:

Licensed & Insured (NYC DOB + DCWP HIC)

Durabilt GC holds an active NYC DOB General Contractor Registration and a DCWP Home Improvement Contractor license. We also carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect your home during every job.

30+ Years of Local Experience

Since 1995, we’ve built kitchen upgrades across Staten Island, from full remodels down to smaller additions like eating bars. That experience has taught us what works in real homes, not just what looks good in a photo.

Trained Installers

Our breakfast bar remodeling installers are trained professionals who handle the work with care from start to finish. They always take accurate measurements, build each section properly, and make sure everything is securely installed.

Transparent and Itemized Pricing

We keep pricing clear from the start. Every estimate shows the cost of labor and materials, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. That means no hidden fees and no surprises.

Always a Free Estimate

Every custom kitchen bar project starts with a free estimate and no obligation. We’ll look at your kitchen, walk through what the installation involves, and give you a clear price for the work.

Workmanship Warranty

Every kitchen counter bar we install is backed by our workmanship warranty. If an issue comes up because of the way it was installed or built, we’ll take care of it at no extra cost to you.

Tim wass very easy to communicate with… however his estimate is on the higher side compared to other contractors on Staten Island for a bathroom remodel. He claims to be fair in pricing but I was afraid he would nit pick on things throughout the remodel that would add more cost to an already expensive pricing structure of his.

My wife and I are so incredibly happy with the two bathrooms we had remodeled by Tim and the Durabilt Team! Tim is the best, he is so kind and friendly and helps you with every aspect of the project. Tim's prices are very reasonable compared to the competition, and the quality of his teams work is top notch. My neighbors were so impressed with his work that they are also signing up for him to remodel their bathrooms. Thanks Tim, looking forward to having you remodel our kitchen in the near future!

Amazing work.  Tim and his company finished the bathroom so fast and it came out beautiful.  I would recommend him 10/10 especially that he ensured that everything is ADA specifications for the elderly.  Also, my parents' bathroom looks better than mine now.  lol.  Will be going back to him for future projects

Tim and his team did an amazing job remodeling my basement and bathroom. They worked professionally, fast, and took care of all imperfections. If anything didn't look right, they quickly fixed it. They did not cut any corners and did top notch work. They got the job done in one week and the basement and bathroom could not look better. Tim also made sure that his team wouldn't leave the job site/finish the job unless we were 100% satisfied with his work. He is an outstanding contractor, very personable, highly professional, and offers an excellent service. I would highly recommend over all other contractors on the island. His prices were far better then other contractors on the island and he was more personable as well. Just an all around nice guy...a very rare thing to find these days; especially with contracts.

FIVE STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tim of Durabilt and his team did an excellent job renovating our kitchen. His experience and expertise provided us with options for our kitchen space that were affordable and the team’s craftsmanship brought those ideas to life. Tim was always responsive in returning phone calls when we had questions. He provided information and reassurance that we would be completely satisfied with the finished product and we couldn’t be happier with our newly renovated kitchen.
We are grateful to have found a trustworthy and talented team of professionals and we very highly recommend Tim and his team.

Tim and his brother came to repair some holes created under my cabinets after a leak. They were able to reposition my exterior door/storm door and replaced the weather stripping which effectively saved me from having to purchase 2 new doors. They came on time, were extremely knowledgeable, worked efficiently and did not leave behind any mess. Communication regarding the jobs was clear and it was truly a pleasure working with them. A few weeks later Tim’s son came to replace my circuit breaker and it was great working with him as well. I would highly recommend them for any of your home projects/renovations!!

Really happy with the work Tim did for me. The pricing was upfront and honest from day one, no BS, which I really appreciated — no surprises along the way. They showed upon time, which is rare these days!

Highly recommended to those who valued their time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Breakfast bar installation cost generally ranges from $1,000 to $5,000. This depends on the material, size, and whether it’s a countertop extension or a wall-mounted design. A written quote after an on-site look is the most accurate way to know the real cost.

Most breakfast bars are built at 42 inches to match standard bar stools, though 36-inch counter height is a popular alternative for a more relaxed, family-friendly feel.

A kitchen island is a standalone unit with counter space and often storage underneath, usually placed in the middle of the kitchen. A breakfast bar is typically an extension of an existing counter or a wall-mounted surface, built specifically for casual seating rather than as a full workspace.

It’s possible for a handy homeowner, but getting the height, overhang, and support right takes real precision. A breakfast bar that isn’t properly supported can crack, sag, or become unsafe to lean on over time.

The installation itself typically takes just a few hours to half a day, depending on the design. If you’re ordering a custom countertop, expect an additional 5 to 7 business days for fabrication before we can install it.
