From landmarked brownstones in Park Slope to loft conversions in Williamsburg, we plan, permit, and build across Brooklyn. One accountable team that knows row-house structure, Landmarks review, and how to renovate a home you love without losing its character.
Building in Brooklyn
Brooklyn is a borough of row houses, brownstones, and fast-changing blocks. A gut renovation in a landmarked district, a parlor-floor rental conversion, and a rooftop addition each follow different rules. We know the housing stock, the Landmarks and DOB paths, and the tight logistics of building on a Brooklyn street, so your project moves forward cleanly from filing to final walkthrough.
Where we build in Brooklyn
Historic row houses and townhouses, many in landmarked districts, where character and Landmarks review guide every decision.
Converted warehouses, new condos, and prewar walk-ups across the borough’s busiest, fastest-changing neighborhoods.
Detached and semi-detached homes, larger lots, and family neighborhoods with room for additions and full remodels.
How we work in Brooklyn
Much of brownstone Brooklyn is landmarked. We handle LPC applications for facades, windows, and stoops, and we match original detail so approvals go smoothly and the home keeps its value.
Shared party walls, old joists, and cellar moisture come with the territory. We file the right DOB path, reinforce where needed, and plan for legal occupancy when you add or convert space.
No driveway and cars on both sides. We arrange staging, dumpsters, and deliveries, protect neighbors and sidewalks, and keep the block clean from demo through punch list.

Common questions
Yes. We handle Landmarks Preservation Commission review for anything visible from the street, match original materials and detailing, and coordinate LPC and DOB together so the project stays on schedule.
We assess whether the space can be made legal under current code, then file the proper DOB paperwork for egress, ceiling height, light, and air. If it cannot be legalized, we tell you before you spend.
It depends on scope, finishes, and the age of the building. After a walkthrough we give you a clear, itemized written estimate, with no vague allowances or surprise change orders.
All of it, from Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope to Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy, Bay Ridge, and the shore. Share your address and we will confirm and outline next steps.
