General Contractor in Brooklyn, NY — Home & Apartment Renovations

Bay Ridge

One of the first neighborhoods we worked in, Bay Ridge is home to semi-detached brick houses, pre-war apartment buildings along Shore Road, and limestone rowhouses on the numbered avenues. We handle everything from kitchen gut renovations in Owners Corp co-ops to rear extensions on single-family homes throughout the 68th Precinct. For co-op boards in this neighborhood, we prepare complete alteration agreement packages, carry the required insurance certificates naming the corporation as additional insured, and manage DOB filings and inspections without requiring board members to track progress independently.

Park Slope

Our headquarters neighborhood, Park Slope’s Historic District contains one of the largest concentrations of intact Italianate and Romanesque Revival brownstones in the country, which means Landmarks Preservation Commission approval drives most renovation timelines. We specialize in parlor-floor restorations, garden-level conversions, and modernizing pre-war kitchens without disturbing original moldings, mantels, or stair detail. Because LPC review frequently precedes DOB filing, we build that sequencing into every project schedule from the outset, so delays at one agency do not catch owners or property managers off guard.

Williamsburg

Williamsburg blends converted industrial lofts along the waterfront with frame houses in the South Side and new condo construction throughout. We build out raw loft spaces with custom partitions and kitchens on concrete slabs, and handle ground-up interior work in the glass-and-steel condos that now line Kent Avenue. For condo management companies overseeing multiple units in the same building, we coordinate access, freight elevator reservations, and construction hours with building staff directly so the day-to-day operations of the property are not disrupted.

DUMBO

DUMBO’s warehouse conversions feature timber post-and-beam construction, 14-foot ceilings, and massive factory windows that constrain where plumbing and HVAC can run. Our team has experience designing mechanical systems that preserve original ceiling exposure while meeting current code, and we coordinate closely with building managers at Two Trees properties. When structural modifications require special inspection under a New York City Alt-1 filing, we engage the required special inspector, track inspection hold points, and ensure DOB sign-offs are obtained at each phase before proceeding.

Brooklyn Heights

As New York City’s first designated historic district, Brooklyn Heights requires LPC review for virtually all exterior work and much of the interior work in landmarked buildings. We renovate pre-war co-ops in buildings like One Grace Court and The Standish, along with Federal-style and Greek Revival townhouses on Willow, Cranberry, and Pineapple Streets. Our familiarity with the LPC application process, including Certificate of No Effect and Certificate of Appropriateness filings, allows us to give co-op boards and property managers an accurate timeline before a shovel goes in the ground.

Cobble Hill

Cobble Hill’s smaller-scale rowhouses, many under 20 feet wide, demand precise space planning and careful structural work. We handle full gut renovations, cellar excavations for added square footage, and rear-yard extensions that maximize the neighborhood’s compact lot configurations. Where a cellar underpinning requires an engineer of record and a special inspection program under the DOB’s technical standards, we manage those coordination requirements as part of our standard project delivery.

Carroll Gardens

Carroll Gardens is known for its deep front gardens and Italianate rowhouses, most built in the 1860s and 1870s. Our work here focuses on updating original cast iron plumbing, rewiring knob-and-tube electrical, and restoring sandstone stoops and cornices while preserving the neighborhood’s streetscape character. For owners navigating a DOB violation issued against aging plumbing or electrical systems, we assess the condition, scope the corrective work, and file the necessary work permits to resolve the violation through the Certificate of Correction process.

Greenpoint

Greenpoint combines frame and brick rowhouses from the shipbuilding era with new luxury towers along the East River. We handle structural repairs on 150-year-old workers’ cottages, loft buildouts in converted Manhattan Avenue warehouses, and high-end finish work in Greenpoint Landing and 2 North 6th Place. For property managers at larger residential buildings in the area, we provide progress documentation at each construction phase and coordinate with the building’s managing agent on scheduling, deliveries, and any required tenant notifications.

Prospect Heights

Prospect Heights’ Historic District covers brownstones and apartment buildings along Eastern Parkway, Plaza Street, and the side streets leading to Grand Army Plaza. We manage LPC-approved facade restorations, full-floor co-op renovations in pre-war buildings, and layout reconfigurations that open up original railroad-style apartments. Because many buildings in this neighborhood are subject to both LPC jurisdiction and DOB review, we handle both permit tracks simultaneously, keeping boards and owners informed as each approval advances.

Bushwick

Bushwick’s mix includes frame houses, masonry rowhouses, and an expanding inventory of converted factory lofts along Flushing Avenue and Morgan Avenue. We take on warehouse-to-residential conversions, full gut renovations of three-family buildings, and rooftop additions where zoning and building envelope allow. For change-of-occupancy conversions that require an Alt-1 filing and a new Certificate of Occupancy, we manage the full DOB process from initial filing through final inspection and CO issuance.
