Middle Village general contractor

Middle Village is built mostly of one and two family homes, attached brick and frame colonials packed close along streets like Eliot and Penelope Avenues, and detached ranches and colonials sitting on the wider lots toward Juniper Valley Park. As a general contractor here, the first job is reading the existing structure correctly: shared party walls on attached rows, low headroom in older basements, and rooflines that shape what a dormer or second story can realistically add. The right plan starts with what the house already is, not a template borrowed from another block.

Most Middle Village projects move through the NYC Department of Buildings, and the type of filing depends on the work. A finished basement, a new bathroom layout, or moving plumbing usually runs as an Alt-2 filing, while a rear addition or a dormer that changes the building footprint or use is an Alt-1. We handle the filings, line up the architect or engineer when drawings are required, and schedule the DOB inspections so trades are not standing idle waiting on a sign-off. Because so many of these homes sit on tight lots, staging materials and protecting the neighbor on the party wall is part of the plan from day one.

Running a project here means one point of contact owns the schedule. We sequence demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, and finish trades so each crew arrives when the work is ready for them, and we keep you updated on what is happening that week and what is next. The goal is a build that respects the home, the block, and the people living next door.
