Whitestone general contractor

Whitestone is largely a neighborhood of detached single-family houses, and many sit on the deeper, wider lots that give this part of Queens its open, suburban feel. As your general contractor, our first job is to read the property: where the house sits within the yard, how far it is from the lot lines, and how much room those larger lots leave for a rear addition, a deck, or a backyard ADU. That read shapes the whole project plan before a single trade is booked.

Running a build here means filing the right paperwork with the NYC Department of Buildings. Most renovations and additions go in as Alt-2 jobs, with the larger structural changes filed as Alt-1, and we handle the DOB applications, plan examination, and inspections so you are never chasing a permit yourself. On the waterfront blocks closer to the East River, we also account for flood-zone requirements, since FEMA AE-zone parcels carry elevation and construction rules that the general contractor has to design around from day one.

Once permits are approved, our role is coordination. We sequence demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and finishes so trades are not tripping over each other, keep the inspection schedule aligned with DOB sign-offs, and hold one point of accountability for the whole job. You get a single contact and a single schedule instead of juggling separate subcontractors on your own.
