Kew Gardens home remodeling

The Tudor homes around Kew Gardens were built with compartmentalized floor plans: a closed-off kitchen at the back, a single full bath upstairs, and steam or hot-water heat that has been patched rather than replaced. Most owners here start by opening the kitchen toward the dining room, then move on to the bathrooms and the mechanical systems that quietly drive comfort and resale value. We plan the work in that order so the disruptive, dust-heavy demolition happens once.

For the pre-war co-ops and apartments, remodeling is as much about paperwork as carpentry. Co-op boards in this part of Queens typically require an alteration agreement, contractor insurance certificates, and approved working hours before a single wall comes down, and wet-over-dry rules can dictate where a new bathroom or laundry can go. We handle those submissions and schedule the loud phases inside the building's permitted windows so your neighbors and the board stay on your side.

Whether it is a detached Tudor or a co-op unit, the process is the same: a measured walkthrough, a fixed scope and allowance budget, any required DOB permits or board approvals, then a sequenced build with one point of contact. You see the plumbing, electrical, and framing before anything gets closed up.
