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.

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.”
