Melani General Contractor renovates Brooklyn co-op apartments under approved alteration agreements. Board packages, insurance certificates, architect coordination, and DOB filings are prepared and tracked so approvals do not stall your project.
Shareholder renovations differ from private homes: the corporation owns the building, the board sets the rules, and the paperwork comes before the hammer.
Cabinetry, counters, and appliances installed within the limits an alteration agreement allows. Gas line changes, dedicated circuits, and any relocation of plumbing are documented for board review before ordering begins.
Waste stacks and supply risers in Brooklyn co-ops are shared property. Shutdowns are scheduled with the super, notices posted for neighbors, and connections restored the same day wherever the building requires it.
Complete submissions with architect drawings, contractor licenses, insurance certificates, work schedules, and scope narratives — assembled in the format your managing agent expects rather than returned for revision.
Plaster walls, original hardwood, and legacy wiring in Brooklyn's older cooperatives are handled with careful demolition sequencing and dust containment that protects both the apartment and the corridors outside it.
The operational details that decide whether a board renewal goes smoothly or stops the job.
Liability and workers comp certificates naming the corporation, agent, and board as required.
Crews on site only during approved hours, with noisy work scheduled to minimize complaints.
Corridor, elevator, and lobby protection installed daily and removed at the end of every shift.
DOB inspections scheduled and closeout documentation delivered to the managing agent.
Boards approve contractors they trust. Two decades of Brooklyn co-op work means the documentation is right the first time, the crews respect building rules, and neighbors are not the ones calling the managing agent.
Packages submitted complete, in the format managing agents expect.
Clean sites, controlled noise, and protected common areas every day.
Pricing that includes filing fees, building deposits, and approval costs up front.
NYC DCWP licensed with insurance limits that satisfy strict alteration agreements.
Cooperatives across the borough, from pre-war elevator buildings to converted industrial lofts.
Apartment work, building-wide projects, and trade services handled by the same licensed team.
The same board-approved process runs in cooperatives across all five boroughs.
Send over your alteration agreement and house rules and the required documentation, timeline, and scope will be mapped out before you submit to the board.
Every estimate is itemized, including permit fees and building deposits, so the approved budget is the real one.
Alteration agreements, board packages, and DOB filings handled end to end.
