Built for Brooklyn's housing stock
Brooklyn's housing stock is some of the most beautiful — and most demanding — in the country. Landmarked brownstones in Park Slope and Fort Greene, pre-war co-ops in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, new condos in Downtown Brooklyn and Williamsburg, two-family homes across the southern neighborhoods. Each one renovates differently, and a contractor who only knows one building type will cost you money on the others.
We're a full-service general contractor in Brooklyn: kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, full gut renovations, interior buildouts, and basement finishing. One licensed, insured team from demolition to final walkthrough — no chasing subcontractors, no finger-pointing when something needs fixing.

The Brooklyn-specific stuff that affects your project
DOB permits are required for most kitchen and bath work involving plumbing, gas, or structural changes — budget $1,000 to $3,000 in filing and expediting fees. Landmarked districts — Park Slope, Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, and others — need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval for exterior work, which adds weeks to the timeline.
Co-op and condo boards add alteration agreements, application fees, insurance requirements, and restricted work hours. In pre-1978 buildings, lead paint testing is required and asbestos testing on old flooring or pipe insulation is common. And Brooklyn logistics — parking a dumpster, staging materials, protecting hallways — all take planning we handle for you.
