Renovation work covers a lot of ground: updating a home, converting a basement, fitting out a storefront, renovating units in a multi-family building, or adding space with an extension. What they share is the need for a clear scope, the right permits and a contractor who keeps the job moving.
We work from your plans or help you get to the point of having them, coordinating with architects and engineers where filings are required. We manage demolition, structural and concrete work, masonry and the trades that follow, and keep you updated through inspections and completion.
Additions and structural changes require licensed design professionals and DOB permits. We make sure those are in place before construction starts.
