01
Pre-War Apartment Renovation
Pre-war apartments have plaster walls, thick masonry and original details, along with older plumbing and electrical systems. We preserve the features worth keeping and replace the systems behind them.
02
Penthouse and Duplex Renovation
Penthouses and duplexes add terraces, stairs and large open spaces. We coordinate structure, waterproofing, stair construction and finishes with your architect and the building.
03
Combining Apartment Units
We combine neighboring units into one residence. The work includes opening walls and floors under your engineer's drawings, merging mechanical systems and finishing the new layout as one apartment.
04
Alteration Agreement and Board Approval Package
Most buildings require board approval before work begins. We assemble the package: drawings, scope of work, schedule, contractor information and insurance certificates. Then we answer questions from the board and managing agent, so approval does not delay your start date.
