Manhattan Renovation – Premium Work, Without the Runaround

Get in Touch

Renovating in Manhattan comes with high expectations — and even higher stakes. Between co-op boards, DOB filings, elevator schedules, and strict building rules, the renovation process here is anything but simple.

We help Manhattan homeowners cut through the complexity and get exceptional results — on time, on budget, and with full transparency.


Renovations That Work with Your Space (Not Against It)

From classic pre-war apartments to sleek downtown condos, we tailor each renovation to the layout, lighting, structure, and quirks of your specific space.

Our Manhattan services include:

  • Full apartment renovations
  • Kitchen & bathroom remodels (including compact layouts)
  • Combining apartments or reconfiguring floorplans
  • High-end material sourcing + finish coordination
  • Co-op/condo board filings and Alt-2 permits
  • DOB scheduling, insurance, and sign-off handling

Whether you’re dealing with a fifth-floor walkup or a tight co-op board, we’ve done this before — and we know how to navigate it.

Where We Work in Manhattan

We serve homeowners across Manhattan’s neighborhoods — from uptown classics to downtown lofts:

  • Upper West Side & Upper East Side – pre-war layout upgrades, DOB approvals
  • Chelsea & Flatiron – design-forward remodels with minimal disruption
  • SoHo, Tribeca & NoHo – luxury finishes, open layouts, historic building compliance
  • Harlem & Washington Heights – respectful updates that preserve charm
  • Battery Park, Midtown, Gramercy, Inwood, and more

Each neighborhood brings unique building types and rules — we adapt accordingly.

Renovating in a Manhattan Building? Here’s What to Expect

  • Board & Building Approvals First. Many co-ops and condos require full alteration packages, insurance certificates, deposits, and engineer approvals — we help manage it all
  • Precision Planning. With tight spaces and shared walls, planning is everything. We minimize noise, disruption, and delays.
  • Flawless Filing. Alt-2 permits, LPC filings (if landmarked), and DOB inspections are part of the process — we keep it smooth and organized
  • Professional Execution. Our licensed contractors work clean, fast, and with respect for building rules and neighbors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers from real experts — without the contractor fluff.

Q: How much does it cost to renovate an apartment in Manhattan?

A: Typically $300–$500/sq ft for full interior renovations. High-end finishes, custom millwork, and co-op/condo board requirements can increase costs.

Q:  Can I renovate while living in my apartment?

A: In many cases, yes — especially if the project is phased and well-managed. For major work, especially in co-ops, temporary relocation may be required.

Q: Do I need an architect or engineer?

A: For structural work, layout changes, or board submittals — yes. Our guides help you understand exactly when you need stamped plans or professional oversight.

Client Testimonial

“We worked with a Manhattan-based renovation team to redesign our prewar apartment on the Upper West Side. They handled everything from the DOB approvals to coordinating with our co-op board. The process was smooth, and the attention to detail — especially in our living room and built-ins — exceeded our expectations. We love how elegant and timeless the space feels now.”
