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Outdated electrical systems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.
Most Upper West Side buildings were built long before modern remodeling standards. We plan around these realities from day one. No guesswork. No redesigns mid-project.

Upper West Side kitchen remodeling
Many Upper West Side homes are pre-war, family-occupied and actively lived in during renovations. Our process focuses on clear sequencing to reduce downtime, dust control and protection, realistic timelines, and daily coordination with building staff. This is not a flip. It’s your home.
Upper West Side kitchens are often enclosed, storage-limited and poorly lit. We redesign them to improve workflow and circulation, cabinet depth and organization, lighting layers, and durability for everyday use.

We did completed a full gut renovation about eight months ago with Home Design & Co, and it was a great experience from beginning to end. Everything was clearly explained before the project started, the pricing was transparent, and the schedule was exactly what we expected. Any changes we made along the way were documented through change orders, so there were never any surprises. What impressed us the most was that Home Design & Co truly handled everything. We didn’t have to hire an architect, an expediter, or worry about any of the paperwork required by our building. They took care of the plans, approvals, blueprints, elevations, inspections, and every technical detail that came up during the renovation. As homeowners, we quickly realized how valuable that was because most of us don’t speak the language of construction or understand everything a building requires. Having one company manage the entire process made the renovation feel simple and stress-free. John’s experience really stood out throughout the project. Whenever an unexpected issue came up, he already knew how to approach it. He found solutions, anticipated potential problems, and always figured things out without creating unnecessary delays or stress. That level of experience gave us a lot of confidence from day one. We will absolutely continue working with John and Home Design & Co on future renovation projects, and they’ll also be the company we trust to maintain our property. It’s hard to find a contractor who combines quality craftsmanship, organization, and experience the way they do. We highly recommend them!!
MiraiGoogle review · Many thanks to Jhon Posada and his amazingly talented team of professionals for creating a home that can be enjoyed for years to come. A gut renovation brings its own set of unexpected twists and turns, but God sent a general contractor with a vision and a skill set to match. Jhon managed his team with respect and precision while his extremely competent project manager, Louise Schultz, walked me through the entire project step-by-step providing helpful suggestions on all decor elements. Thank you “Home Design & Company. “ I am extremely grateful for the quality of your work and your impeccable attention to detail. P. Mason
P. MasonGoogle review · Home Design & Co. exceeded all my expectations! John and his team were professional, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Their workmanship and design expertise truly stand out—they transformed my home beautifully, including a flawless quartz countertop installation despite the challenges. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and highly responsive. I’m extremely satisfied with the results and will definitely work with them again on future projects. Highly recommended!

john andreottiGoogle review · I am extremely pleased with the work from Home Design & Co. John and his team did a wonderful job in my home. The work was efficient and I was delighted with his creative vision. I am extremely satisfied and I am looking forward to working with them again in the near future on other projects.
Martha Paz GarciaGoogle review · I had the pleasure of working with John Posada and his Home Design & Co. team for a major home renovation, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing. Right from our initial consultation, John impressed me with his professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to listen to my ideas. He and his team, led by Louise, took the time to understand my vision for the renovation and provided valuable insights that helped refine the design while staying within my budget. Throughout the entire project, the team was punctual, respectful, and kept me informed every step of the way. They worked efficiently, yet never compromised on quality. The attention to detail and craftsmanship was evident in every corner of my home – from the new kitchen and bathrooms to the drop-ceiling, lighting, flooring and electrical. What truly set John and his team apart was their commitment to ensuring everything was completed to perfection. Any challenges that arose during the renovation were met with quick, thoughtful solutions. With John on-site managing the project and Louise coordinating all the back-end logistics, the job was completed on time, and the results exceeded my expectations. John treated this renovation as if it was his own home and went above and beyond, always. I am absolutely thrilled with my newly renovated home and couldn’t have asked for a better partner/advisor and contractor to bring my vision to life. I would highly recommend John and his Home Design & Co. team to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, skilled, and professional contractor.
Daniel NeissGoogle review · Amazing work! The team was professional, hardworking and pleasant to work with. We are in love with all the work and will refer John and team to anyone!
Luis NorbertoGoogle review · We renovated our NYC apartment and I could not be more pleased with the outcome, experience, and the attention to detail. I have renovated before, and I have never had such an easy-feeling process. We updated plumbing, added new lighting throughout the apartment, and completely redid the bathrooms and kitchen. We were so impressed with how smoothly things went. Even when things were not perfect, John and his team always fixed it to our liking. I am so grateful we found John and Louise! Their work is such high quality and they remove all of the stress (or as much as they can) for the home owner. 10/10
Katrina AGoogle review · Home Design was recommended to us by a friend. They were able to walk us through the entire process from beginning to end. John and his crew are very professional and understanding to our needs when came to our dead line.
Al PersiGoogle review · If I can give them any more stars I would Just for the simple fact that John and his crew helped me and my parents after another company did not want to take the responsibility of finishing there project in my home. John and his crew were able to get the original design from the other company and complete the work that was promised. If I had to do this all over again I would have went to home design and company from the very beginning!
