General contractor in NYC for all five boroughs
Based on the Upper West Side, working in all five boroughs. The building decides more about a New York renovation than the borough does, so that is where we start.

MCG Corp is a DCWP-licensed general contractor based on Central Park West in Manhattan, renovating homes and businesses in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. What changes from one borough to the next is the building stock: co-ops and condos in Manhattan, brownstones in Brooklyn, condos and attached homes in Queens, multi-family buildings in The Bronx and single-family houses on Staten Island.
Renovating in New York City
A co-op on the Upper West Side and a detached house on Staten Island are both New York renovations, and they have almost nothing in common. One is governed by a board and an alteration agreement; the other by zoning and the DOB. We plan each one around the rules that actually apply.
We are a general contractor in the full sense: one company responsible for the whole job, with our own crew and licensed specialist trades under one contract. Homeowners hire us for kitchens, bathrooms, apartments and whole houses; businesses hire us for restaurants, offices, medical suites, stores and gyms.
The paperwork is part of the job everywhere in the city. Co-op and condo boards approve residential work through an alteration agreement, landlords approve commercial work through the lease, and the Department of Buildings takes filings for anything that changes walls, plumbing, gas or electrical service. We prepare our side of all three.

Our office is on Central Park West. Upper West Side and Upper East Side co-ops, Harlem brownstones, Midtown condos and downtown lofts each come with their own building rules, and we plan around them.

What clients wrote on Google
5.0 from 28 Google reviewsBilly and his team did excellent work. They kept us apprised of how the work was going and asked questions of us regularly. Reasonable price. I would strongly recommend them and will be using them again if further projects arise.
Billy 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.
Great work! It's a rare contractor who not only does excellent work but is exceptionally easy to work with and communicates at all stages of the job. When Billy says he and his team will be there at nine they are.
