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.”
