Brooklyn jobs start with a question: what is the building? A brownstone in Park Slope has plaster walls, wood-joist floors that are rarely level, and sometimes a landmark district that regulates the front facade. A condo in Williamsburg has concrete slabs, a management office with its own rules, and freight elevator hours. A Bay Ridge two-family sits between the two.
We work in all three. Our crew is used to the pre-war surprises behind Brooklyn walls, and we plan the sequence so that discoveries during demo become written change orders, not arguments. Brooklyn is a short drive over the Kosciuszko or through Ridgewood from our Queens base, so site visits are easy to schedule.
Permits and building rules
Brooklyn follows the same NYC Department of Buildings rules as Queens: plumbing and gas changes need permits pulled by licensed trades, and we coordinate them. Two things come up more often here: Landmarks Preservation Commission review for exterior work on designated rowhouses, and condo and co-op alteration agreements that specify work hours, insurance limits and sometimes a building engineer’s sign-off before a wet-area layout change.
Getting there
North and central Brooklyn are twenty to thirty minutes from Rego Park. No travel charge for estimates.
