Jackson Heights general contractor and renovation

Jackson Heights is unusual even by Queens standards. The neighborhood was built largely as planned garden apartment complexes, and much of the housing is pre-war co-op with shared interior courtyards, alongside blocks of Tudor row houses and detached single-family homes. That mix means a kitchen or bathroom renovation here often involves older plumbing risers, plaster walls, and floor plans that were never meant for open layouts, so the work calls for careful demolition and trades who have opened up pre-war walls before.

It is also home to the largest historic district in New York City. Inside the Jackson Heights Historic District, any change to a building exterior needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Landmarks Preservation Commission, and for most apartments your co-op board sits in front of that process with its own alteration agreement and approvals. We are used to sequencing both, so neither the board nor the LPC becomes the reason a project stalls.

The projects we see most often here are kitchen and bathroom remodels inside co-op units, full home remodels and gut renovations, finishing or reworking basements in the row houses, and additions on the detached homes where the lot and zoning allow. Whatever the scope, we scope it against what the building and the district actually permit before any demolition starts.
