Top General Contractor in NYC | LE PRD

Yes, major structural changes, electrical work, plumbing, and layout alterations require permits from the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). As a fully licensed general contractor in Brooklyn, we handle all DOB permit expediting and filing directly so you never have to navigate the complex local bureaucracy alone.

Absolutely. Historic brownstone restoration in Brooklyn requires specialized expertise to meet strict Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) guidelines. We preserve original architectural details like ornate parlor floor plasterwork while modernizing your interior layout, ensuring total compliance with LPC and local building codes.

Navigating co-op board approvals requires meticulous preparation. We compile all required documentation, including detailed scope-of-work plans, architectural drawings, license verification, and active liability and workers' compensation insurance certificates that meet or exceed your building's strict requirements to ensure prompt approval.

A complete gut renovation in NYC typically takes between four and eight months once active construction begins. However, the pre-construction phase—including architectural designs, LPC approvals, and DOB permit processing—can take several months. We provide clear schedules and fixed-price contracts to keep projects on timeline.

Working in dense neighborhoods like Park Slope or Williamsburg requires smart planning. We schedule daily deliveries to avoid street congestion, utilize authorized staging areas, and coordinate tight debris removal schedules. Our team prioritizes site cleanliness and respects neighboring properties to minimize disturbance throughout the job.
