What we do
General contractor for South Jamaica homes
Most South Jamaica projects start inside an existing one or two-family house, so a general contractor here spends as much time on conditions as on design. Attached rowhouses share party walls with neighbors, which shapes how you can route plumbing, frame a new bath, or open up a kitchen, and detached frame homes often need older electrical service and joists evaluated before any finish work begins. We walk the house first, confirm what is actually buildable, then build a scope and schedule around it rather than around a generic template.
Running the job means owning the paperwork. We pull the correct NYC Department of Buildings permits for your scope, whether that is a plumbing permit for a kitchen or bath, an electrical permit, or an Alt-2 application when the layout changes, and we keep the filings tied to the same set of approved plans the trades work from. For two-family homes the occupancy and egress rules matter, so we confirm the certificate of occupancy and any rental-unit requirements before framing, not after an inspector flags it.
From there it is coordination. One point of contact lines up demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, and finish carpentry in the right order so trades are not tripping over each other or waiting on a no-show. You get a clear sequence, scheduled inspections, and a single person answering for the budget and the timeline from the first day on site to final DOB sign-off.
