How a project runs

  1. Walkthrough and estimate

    Billy visits, measures and asks what you want the space to do. You receive an itemized written estimate, not a ballpark.

  2. Approvals and planning

    Board package, landlord consent and any DOB filing are prepared and submitted. Materials with long lead times are ordered.

  3. Construction

    Work runs inside your building’s hours with common areas protected and the site cleaned daily. You get updates without having to chase them.

  4. Inspections and walkthrough

    Required inspections are passed, the punch list is closed with you, and the building receives its close-out paperwork.

Billy 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.

Richard Lloyd, home renovation

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.

Alex M, condo apartment renovation

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.
