Hollis general contractor and renovation

Most of the Hollis housing stock is detached single and two family homes from the 1920s through the 1950s, set on lots that are generous by Queens standards. That age shows up in the work: plaster walls, knob-and-tube or early branch wiring behind finishes, narrow original kitchens, and bathrooms that were never meant for modern fixtures. We plan renovations around what these houses actually contain rather than assuming a clean slate.

Work in Hollis runs through the NYC Department of Buildings, so anything structural, electrical, or plumbing needs the right permits and licensed trades pulling them. Interior kitchen and bath remodels that stay within the existing footprint are usually straightforward to file; additions and any change to the building footprint bring zoning, yard setbacks, and lot coverage into the picture. We handle the filings so the project clears inspection the first time.

The projects we see most often here are kitchen renovations in those original layouts, full bathroom updates, finishing basements into usable living or family space, and rear or second story additions on the larger lots. Each starts with a walk-through and an honest scope before any numbers go on paper.
