Upper West Side Apartment Remodeling
Designed for how you actually live
Upper West Side apartments are full of charm.
They’re also full of layouts that no longer fit modern life.
• Narrow kitchens.
• Bathrooms designed decades ago.
• Storage that never seems enough.
Home Design & Co helps Upper West Side homeowners rework their apartments for today, while respecting the structure, rules, and rhythm of their building.
Why Upper West Side Renovations fail without experience
Most Upper West Side buildings were built long before modern remodeling standards.
That creates issues like:
Fixed plumbing stacks:
Plumbing risers limit moving toilets, sinks, and drains.Bathroom layouts must follow existing plumbing lines.
Outdated electrical systems
Older wiring often needs upgrades before renovation.
Electrical systems must meet modern code and usage needs.
Hidden load bearing walls
Structural walls may be hidden behind plaster.Proper review is required before altering layouts.
Quiet and phased construction rules
Strict noise limits control renovation schedules.Work must follow approved hours and phases.
We plan around these realities from day one. No guesswork. No redesigns mid-project.
