Sunnyside general contractor and renovation

Sunnyside's housing stock leans heavily on attached and semi-attached row houses, low-rise co-op buildings, and the planned blocks of Sunnyside Gardens. Attached homes share party walls and common rooflines, so structural changes, waterproofing, and any work near the wall line have to account for the neighbor next door. Co-op interiors come with their own building rules layered on top of city requirements.

Approval realities here are stricter than in much of Queens. The Sunnyside Gardens historic district is a Landmarks Preservation Commission landmark, which means exterior changes, including windows, doors, front facades, fences, and visible rooflines, need a Certificate of Appropriateness before any DOB permit moves forward. We plan these projects so the LPC review and the building permits line up instead of stalling each other.

Common projects in Sunnyside are kitchen and bathroom remodels in row houses and co-ops, finished basements and cellars, rear or rooftop additions where zoning and landmarking allow, and whole-home remodels that update prewar layouts without losing their character. We scope each one to the specific block and building type.
