About Melani General Contractor
NYC General Contractor License #626219 | Active Through 2028
With over two decades of hands-on contracting experience across New York City, Mike Melani recognised the persistent need for a construction firm that placed client communication and craftsmanship above volume. After years observing how larger outfits treated renovation projects as interchangeable line items, he established Melani General Contractor to provide the attentive, detail-oriented service that NYC homeowners and property managers deserve.
What started as a focused operation in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn has grown into a respected team of licensed professionals who share Mike’s insistence on accountability and superior execution. We hold ourselves to standards that reflect our belief in long-term relationships built through consistent results, not promises.
Our licensed contractors understand that residential renovation in New York City carries unique complexities. DOB permits, co-op board alteration agreements, landmark preservation requirements, and the logistical realities of working within occupied multi-unit buildings all demand contractors with genuine local expertise. We have navigated these processes across thousands of projects throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
Whether you require a complete apartment gut renovation, a kitchen transformation, bathroom modernisation, or targeted plumbing and electrical work, our reliable team serves property owners across all five boroughs. No project is too complex for our experienced staff, and we ensure that you remain informed and confident at every stage of the process.
