General Contractor in Manhattan, NYC

Licensed, insured and family-owned. We run your renovation from the first visit to the final walkthrough: design, permits, building approvals, trades and logistics.General contractor for Manhattan renovations.


What a general contractor does for a Manhattan renovation

Renovating in Manhattan is a building project before it is a design project. Co-op and condo boards review every alteration, the city requires permits and inspections, elevators and loading docks are shared, and work hours are strict.

Home Design & Co acts as your single point of contact. We prepare the paperwork, coordinate the trades, book the elevator and keep the schedule inside what your building allows, so you only make design decisions.

We are a Manhattan-based, family-owned firm with more than 25 years of experience, fully insured and licensed in New York City, with $5 million in insurance coverage.

What is included when we are your general contractor

  • 3D design before construction

    We measure your space, listen to how you live in it and show you the design in 3D, so you approve the layout, cabinetry, finishes and lighting before anything is ordered or demolished.

  • A fully itemized estimate

    Every line is priced and explained up front, with the costs and stages laid out, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

  • Permits and DOB filings

    We handle NYC Department of Buildings permits, schedule and attend inspections and close out sign-offs. The city paperwork stays on our side of the table.

  • Co-op and condo board packages

    We assemble the alteration package, carry the insurance certificates boards ask for, and correspond with the managing agent directly.

  • Construction management

    We coordinate trades, deliveries, elevator reservations, debris removal and protection of common areas, planned against the hours your building permits.

  • Clean finish and closeout

    We deliver the room, walk it with you and leave your home ready to use, with the approvals closed out.

Kitchens, bathrooms and whole apartments

Most clients start with a kitchen or a bathroom. Many continue with the rest of the apartment, because one contractor already knows the building, the board and the plans.

We work across Manhattan, including the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, the Gold Coast, Lincoln Square and Central Park West.
