What NYC Homeowners Say

★★★★★
“GCMM did a full gut renovation of our 2BR co-op on the Upper East Side. They handled the board package, DOB permits, and every trade. The apartment is unrecognizable — open layout, new kitchen, two redesigned bathrooms. Exceptional work.”
Daniel & Emily W.
Manhattan, NY
★★★★★
“We bought a brownstone in Bed-Stuy and GCMM renovated the entire parlor floor. Load-bearing wall removed with a steel beam, new plumbing, electrical throughout, and a gorgeous open kitchen. They knew exactly how to work with the building’s age.”
Marcus J.
Brooklyn, NY
★★★★★
“Complete renovation of our Astoria co-op — new electrical panel, replumbed bathrooms, and a total kitchen rebuild. GCMM navigated the co-op board process smoothly and the inspections passed first time. Highly recommend for NYC gut renos.”

Home Renovation FAQs

What DOB permits do I need for an NYC renovation?
Most gut renovations require an Alt-2 or Alt-1 filing with NYC DOB. Structural changes, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work each require separate permits and inspections. We handle all filings and coordination.
How do co-op board approvals work?
We prepare a complete alteration agreement package including scope of work, architect plans, contractor insurance certificates, construction schedule, and neighbor notification. We’ve worked with dozens of NYC co-op boards and know what they expect.
How long does a NYC gut renovation take?
A typical apartment gut renovation takes 3-6 months of construction, plus 1-3 months for board approvals and permits. Brownstone renovations can take 6-12 months. We provide milestone schedules and weekly progress updates.
How much does a gut renovation cost in NYC?
NYC gut renovations typically range $150–$350 per square foot for apartments and $200–$500 per square foot for brownstones. A 1,000 sq ft apartment gut renovation typically runs $150,000–$350,000. We provide detailed line-item proposals.
Can you work in pre-war buildings?
Yes. We specialize in pre-war apartment and brownstone renovations throughout NYC. We’re experienced with plaster walls, old wiring, cast iron plumbing, tin ceilings, and historic detail preservation.
Do you coordinate with building management?
Absolutely. We handle all building management coordination including work hour compliance, freight elevator booking, floor protection, neighbor notifications, and superintendent communication. This is standard practice for every NYC project.
