Why Condo Renovations Are Different in NYC
Understanding the nuances of Condo Apartment Renovations in NYC is essential for a successful project.
Effective Condo Apartment Renovations require careful planning and execution.
Condominiums usually offer more flexibility than co‑ops, but they still come with building rules, Alteration Agreements, and management oversight. Most condos require:
These guidelines significantly influence the approach we take to Condo Apartment Renovations.
- A complete Alteration Agreement package (drawings, license/insurance, scope, and engineering where needed)
- Strict work‑hour rules and scheduled elevator access and hallway/freight protections
- Noise, dust, and debris protocols approved by the super/management
- Mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) reviews for service upgrades, dryer venting, and HVAC placement
- DOB permits and inspections when you’re changing layout, plumbing, electrical, gas, or windows
Condo boards don’t typically review aesthetics as tightly as co‑ops, but they do enforce building infrastructure limits and house rules. We handle the approvals and logistics so you don’t have to.

Enhancing Your Space with Condo Apartment Renovations
Our commitment to quality in Condo Apartment Renovations sets us apart in the competitive NYC market.
Our expertise in Condo Apartment Renovations empowers us to transform spaces efficiently.
We plan these items early to confirm feasibility, speed approvals, and keep your budget on track:
- HVAC Installation & Upgrades
Ducted/ductless heat‑pump systems, and PTAC replacements. We verify condenser locations (roof/facade/balcony where allowed), drainage, make‑up air, and penetrations that comply with building and DOB requirements. - Washer & Dryer Additions
Stacked or side‑by‑side; vented or ventless (condensing/heat‑pump). We coordinate electrical capacity, dedicated drains and pans, automatic shut‑offs, and lint traps. Where exterior venting isn’t allowed, we specify high‑performance ventless units. - Electrical System Updates & Service Upgrades
Replace old fuse boxes with modern breaker panels (AFCI/GFCI where required), add dedicated appliance circuits, and, when feasible, increase service (often to 100–150 amps) in coordination with the building and Con Edison. - Plumbing Modernization New shut‑offs and rough‑ins, fixture relocations within approved wet zones, quiet‑vent stacks, and waterproofing systems that protect neighbors above and below. With advanced techniques in Condo Apartment Renovations, we ensure durability and aesthetic appeal.
- Recessed Lighting & a Layered Lighting Plan
Low‑profile, IC‑rated fixtures where required, dimmers, smart controls, and accent lighting for art, niches, and millwork. - Window Replacements
We work with your condo’s approved window vendor/series, ensure Energy Code compliance, and coordinate landmarks where applicable. Expect lead times and interior protection planning. - New Floors & Acoustic Control
Leveling substrates and installing the sound underlayments your condo requires (IIC/STC). Hardwood, engineered, tile, or luxury vinyl—installed to building specs. - Kitchen Footprint Enlargement
Open up walls (where permitted), improve circulation, and design better storage. We verify structural/MEP impacts, reroute plumbing/venting within rules, and file DOB permits as needed. - Primary Bedroom Walk‑In Closet
Custom closet systems and built‑ins with integrated lighting, drawers, and hanging solutions tailored to your wardrobe. - Bathroom Enlargement & Double Vanity
Reconfigure within wet zones, upgrade drains and venting, and rebuild with high‑performance waterproofing. Floating vanities, heated floors (where allowed), and frameless glass for a spacious feel. - Custom Millwork & Built‑Ins
Media walls, window seats, radiator covers, paneled feature walls, and architectural trim—crafted for crisp lines and durable finishes.
Our Three Core Services
Our three core services support seamless Condo Apartment Renovations from concept to completion.
We ensure your dream Condo Apartment Renovations align with your lifestyle and preferences.
Kitchen Renovation
We design functional, beautiful kitchens that respect condo logistics. Services include layout redesigns, custom cabinetry, stone/quartz countertops, panel‑ready appliances, proper ventilation, and a layered lighting plan (task, ambient, accent). We handle electrical capacity checks, appliance clearances, and venting solutions—especially critical in high‑rises.
Bathroom Renovation
From powder rooms to primary suites, we deliver waterproof, code‑compliant bathrooms with meticulous tile work. Think double vanities, spa‑showers or soaking tubs, concealed storage, and radiant heat where permitted. We coordinate riser tie‑ins, shut‑downs, inspections, and all DOB paperwork.
Interior Renovation
Reimagine your entire home—open living areas, add a home office, refinish or replace floors, upgrade doors and hardware, and integrate smart lighting/controls. Our design team develops finishes and custom millwork that elevate your condo while meeting your building’s acoustic and protection requirements.
Our innovative approach to Condo Apartment Renovations is tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Our Condo Approval & Construction Process
Each step in our Condo Apartment Renovations process is designed to meet your specific needs.
1) Consultation & Feasibility
On‑site assessment of building constraints, electrical capacity, wet zones, venting pathways, and sound requirements. You’ll receive a realistic plan and budget range that match your building’s rules.
2) Design & Budget Alignment
Our architect and designers produce code‑compliant layouts with clear finish/spec schedules. We make decisions early to lock lead times and avoid change orders.
3) Board Submission & DOB Filings
We compile drawings, scopes, COIs, and any required engineering letters for the condo board/management. We then file the DOB applications (Alt‑2/OT/MEP as needed) and, when applicable, coordinate landmarks.
4) Logistics & Neighbor Coordination
We book the freight elevator, plan water/gas shut‑downs, and create a protection plan for common areas and your unit: floor guards, corner protection, poly barriers, negative‑air machines with HEPA filtration, and daily cleaning.
5) Construction & Site Control
Your dedicated project manager maintains schedule and quality, with weekly updates through our online portal—progress photos, budget tracking, and a single point of contact.
6) Close‑Out & Sign‑Offs
We obtain DOB sign‑offs, deliver warranties and as‑builts, and submit completion documents to management. You get a beautifully finished, fully compliant home.
