General contractor in Brooklyn
Brownstones, townhouses, co-ops and condos. Brooklyn renovations often mean old structure and landmark districts, and we plan for both.
5.0 from 28 Google reviewsIn short
MCG Corp renovates homes in Brooklyn, from condo kitchens and bathrooms to whole brownstones. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are landmark districts, so exterior work, and interior work that needs a DOB permit, usually needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval as well. We coordinate it through your architect.
Renovating in Brooklyn
A Brooklyn client hired us twice and wrote that she was “over the moon” with the work on her condo. Brownstone work is different again: three or four floors, original detail worth keeping, and structure that has been settling for a century.
Brooklyn work for us is mostly brownstones and townhouses in Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene and Bedford-Stuyvesant, condos in Williamsburg and DUMBO, and storefronts and restaurants on the commercial avenues. Each brings a different set of rules: landmark review for the houses, a board for the condos, a landlord and a lease for the stores.
Old houses hide old problems. Joists notched by a century of plumbers, lintels that have rusted, party walls shared with a neighbor. We open up, show you what is there and price it in writing before we fix it.

What clients wrote on Google
5.0 from 28 Google reviewsBilly and team are absolutely incredible. They helped us transform our apartment from something generic into something spectacular, assembling an all-star team for electrical work, stonework, painting, and tiling. They dealt diligently and patiently with our stringent condo board and all the paperwork required.
Billy and his team did my full apartment renovation on 95th St between Amsterdam Ave and Broadway. Their service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. I am very happy to recommend MCG to others.
Billy Loka and his crew were beyond expectations. A complete gut renovation in 3 months is unheard of. He was always available and on top of every aspect of the job. He gave me advice which led to a perfect experience and a home we're proud to live in.
Questions about working in Brooklyn
Do I need landmark approval to renovate my brownstone?
If the house is in a historic district, exterior work needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, and interior work that needs a DOB permit usually does too. Your architect files it; we build to it.
Do you renovate brownstones in Brooklyn?
Yes, floor by floor or all at once: new systems, kitchens and bathrooms, structural repairs and restored original detail where it survives.
Do you do commercial work in Brooklyn?
Yes. Restaurant build-outs, retail refits and office tenant improvements, with landlord approvals and filings coordinated.
Do you build decks and additions in Brooklyn?
Yes, where the lot and zoning allow. Most new decks and all additions need DOB filings, which we coordinate with your architect.
