The owner is on site
Larry's on the job, running the work and jumping in with the crew. He's not the guy who prices it and then you never see him again.
What we take on
From one apartment to ongoing work across a building.
- Full apartment gut renovations, kitchens and bathrooms included
- Co-op renovations that have to go through the board
- Turnovers on investment property, scheduled around the vacancy
- Ongoing work for property managers, with one point of contact
- Floors, doors, trim, closets and lighting through the whole unit
- Licensed, insured plumbers and electricians, lined up and kept on schedule
Working with a co-op board
Co-op boards and the city have rules about how renovation work gets done, and a job can sit waiting if the paperwork isn't right. We know what they ask for and we deal with it, so you don't have to.
Our NYC license and certificate of insurance are ready when the board asks for them, and we're lead-paint certified, which matters in older buildings.
Inside a whole-unit job
On a whole-unit job, the work behind the walls decides how the place lives afterward. That's why we run it stage by stage.
How a whole-unit job goes
- Free estimate and scopeWe walk the unit and tell you straight what the job involves.
- Board and building paperworkWe deal with what the co-op board and the city need before work starts.
- Demo and rough workWalls open up, and the licensed trades do their rough work.
- Board, tile and millworkWalls get closed and flattened, tile goes down, and cabinets and built-ins get set.
- Finish and walkthroughWe walk the finished job and close out anything left on the list.
Why people call us back
We show up when we say we will
We set the schedule at the start and we stick to it. If something changes, you'll hear it from us first.
We keep the place clean
You're living here while we work. We're careful with your house and your stuff, and we clean up before we leave.
Free estimates, guaranteed work
The estimate doesn't cost you anything, and we stand behind our workmanship after the job's done.
Alan and Danielle, co-op renovation, Queens“Larry is so knowledgeable in this field that he adeptly navigated and found solutions to any potential obstacles raised by the co-op or NYC rules and regulations. His extensive contacts in the industry meant that we worked with some of the best subcontractors in the business.”
Common questions
Can you renovate an apartment in my co-op?
Yes. We deal with the board requirements and the NYC rules, so your job doesn't sit stuck waiting on paperwork.
What will the board ask for?
Most boards want to see the contractor's license and a certificate of insurance before work starts. We have both ready.
Do you do turnovers for landlords?
Yes. We schedule renovations around the vacancy so the unit gets back on the market.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes. Ongoing renovation work across a portfolio, with one point of contact and the licensed trades handled for you.
Do you do exterior work too?
Some. We build entry roofs and do exterior carpentry. We don't do masonry, concrete, pavers or brickwork, but we know the people who do that work right, and we'll point you to them.
