For 25 years, New York Kitchen & Bath (NYKB) helmed by Perry Hiiman has helped transform homes across New York City, completing more than 5,000 renovation projects while establishing itself as one of the city’s leading luxury design-build renovation firms. As NYKB celebrates its 25th anniversary, Founder and CEO Perry Hiiman is reflecting on a quarter century of innovation, craftsmanship, and leadership—and how the homes New Yorkers live in have evolved alongside the city itself.

Founded in 2001, NYKB was recognized as one of the first companies in New York City to offer a fully integrated design-build renovation model, bringing design, material selection, permitting, project management, construction, and installation together under one roof. At a time when homeowners were often left to coordinate multiple contractors and vendors, NYKB introduced a streamlined approach that simplified the renovation process while providing a single point of accountability from design and concept through completion of construction and renovation.

Under Perry’s leadership, the company has grown from a team of eight employees to more than 80 professionals, completing approximately 50 full renovation projects each year across New York City’s five boroughs, plus hundreds of kitchens, bathrooms and individual needs of home and apartment per year, and thousands to date. Operating from its flagship Flatiron District showroom, NYKB has built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, personalized service, and expertise navigating the city’s complex permitting requirements and co-op and condominium approval processes. The company has also earned an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, multiple Best of Houzz Service awards, and recognition for its longstanding commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

The 25-year milestone also offers a unique opportunity to examine how luxury living has changed over the past quarter century. Perry has witnessed the transformation of kitchens from enclosed workspaces into the heart of the home, bathrooms from purely functional rooms into wellness retreats, and renovations from aesthetic upgrades into lifestyle investments. He can share insights into the design trends that have defined the past 25 years, the innovations reshaping the renovation industry today, and the homeowner priorities, from wellness and sustainability to smart-home technology and customized living spaces, that are expected to influence the next generation of luxury homes.

Having led NYKB through changing market conditions, evolving building regulations, and the unique challenges of renovating in one of the world’s most complex real estate markets, Perry also offers perspective on what it takes to build and sustain a founder-led business for 25 years. His experience spans thousands of renovation projects and decades of helping New Yorkers reimagine the way they live, making him a valuable voice on entrepreneurship, leadership, design, construction, and the future of luxury urban living.
