Manhattan kitchen — Renovation NYC
What we do
Four things, done all the way through.
Kitchens, bathrooms, full apartment renovations, and the
custom cabinetry that goes inside them — we run all four
ourselves, start to finish, so nothing gets lost between
subcontractors.
01
Kitchen Remodeling
Layout, cabinetry, counters, appliances and the lighting above them. We design it, build the cabinets in our own shop and install them.
02
Bathroom renovation
Waterproofing first, then tile, fixtures and vanities. Wet work in an occupied building is where a careless contractor costs you a ceiling downstairs.
03
Multi room renovation
Full apartment work run by one team on one schedule. Renovation NYC put the usual range at three to six months for a Manhattan apartment.
04
Custom Woodwork
Cabineteria, the shop side of the business. Bookshelves, Murphy beds, radiator covers and closets built to your walls rather than to a catalogue size.
Why Manhattan is different
Renovating in a Manhattan building
is a different job.
A contractor in the suburbs gets a driveway and a dumpster. Here you get a board, an alteration agreement, a service elevator with hours on it and a neighbour on the other side of the wall. That part of the work is most of the work, and it is the part we have been doing since 2000.
The board package
Co-op and condo boards want drawings, insurance certificates and a contractor they recognise. We assemble the package and we answer the questions that come back on it.
Permits and code
Filings, inspections and the NYC Energy Conservation Code. Insulation, windows and correctly sized heating and cooling all have to meet it before anything closes up.
Elevator and hours
Deliveries booked, the service elevator padded, work kept inside the hours your building allows. The super should not need to call you.
The common areas
Hallway and lobby protection, daily cleanup and a crew that leaves the building the way it found it. Our reviews say this more often than they say anything else.

Cabineteria
Built in our shop, fitted to your walls.
Manhattan apartments are full of odd walls, radiators in the wrong place and ceilings that are never quite the height you were told. Stock cabinetry fights that. Ours is measured on site and made for the opening it is going into.

HOW A PROJECT RUNS
Four stages, and you always know which one you are in.
01
Consultation
We come to the apartment, measure, look at what the building will and will not allow, and talk through what you want to spend.
FREE, MANHATTAN RESIDENCES
02
Design and drawings
Layouts, elevations and finish selections, drawn to the standard your board and the Department of Buildings will expect to receive.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
03
Agreement and approvals
Scope, price and schedule in writing before anything is opened up. Board package submitted, insurance certificates issued, permits filed.
BEFORE DEMOLITION
04
Build
Protection goes down, demolition, the work behind the walls, then cabinetry, tile, paint and a final walkthrough with you.
THREE TO SIX MONTHS, TYPICALLY
Renovation NYC give three years of warranty on labor and materials, and put the usual duration of a Manhattan renovation at three to six months depending on permits and the size of the job.

“Zac and his team did excellent work for me, fabricating bookshelves and a desk. They were reliably on time, returned texts and emails promptly, worked cleanly and respectfully. The work is lovely, exactly what I wanted.”

“After living here 30 years, I needed to make some changes to make my place safer for me. It was a small job, but Zac was up for it. He was extremely supportive of me with my concept. The construction … looks better than I imagined.”
