Homes and apartments

  • Home renovation

    Kitchens, bathrooms, whole apartments and houses, renovated by one licensed contractor who stays on the job from the first walkthrough to the last punch-list item.

  • Kitchen renovation

    New layouts, cabinets, stone, lighting and appliances for New York apartments and houses, with the co-op or condo paperwork handled for you.

  • Bathroom renovation

    From new fixtures and tile to a full gut with new waterproofing and plumbing, built to pass your building’s rules and last.

  • Apartment renovation

    Full and gut renovations of prewar and postwar apartments: layout, kitchen, bathrooms, floors and finishes, delivered under one contract.

  • Condo and co-op renovation

    We know what boards and managing agents ask for, and we prepare it before they ask.

    Whole townhouses, brownstones and apartments taken back to the structure and rebuilt, with one contractor responsible for all of it.

    Dry, insulated, well-lit basements in New York houses, built to code and planned around what the space can legally be.

    Rear extensions, extra floors and room additions for New York houses, built with the architect, the zoning check and the DOB filing in order.

    Backyard decks, terraces and roof decks built for New York weather, with the structure checked before anything new goes on top.

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.
