Wakefield, the Bronx
Construction company in the Bronx
Renovation, kitchens, bathrooms and painting across the Bronx, mostly in two family houses and small apartment buildings that have been worked on before.
We are a construction company working across the Bronx, based on East 223rd Street in Wakefield.
The north Bronx is mostly two family houses and small apartment houses, much of it owner occupied and much of it improved in stages over decades. The common job here is not a designer gut. It is a house that has had four repairs by four different people, where the first real task is working out what is actually behind the wall before anybody prices what goes on it.
Call (929) 695-3639 and describe the house. We will tell you what it involves.
What we take on
Every one of these happens inside a building with its own rules, and the building shapes the job.

Call for an estimateHow work runs out here
Most of this stock has been renovated before. Usually more than once and rarely all at the same time. Opening a wall here regularly finds two generations of work stacked on each other. We price the part we can see and say plainly where the unknowns are, rather than burying them in a contingency nobody explains.
A two family carries a tenant as well as an owner. If one unit is let, the work has to keep the other liveable and lawful throughout: heat, hot water and a way in and out. That is a scheduling constraint before it is anything else, and it is the thing people most often forget to mention on the first call.
You can get a truck to the house. Most of this borough has driveways or usable street loading, so material is delivered to the job rather than carried through a lobby. It makes the heavy phases faster than the same work across the river.
Planning in stages is normal, and it is fine. A bathroom this year and a kitchen next is a sensible way to run a house. We scope so a stage stands on its own instead of leaving you with something half finished until the next part is funded.
How a job runs
A call
Tell us the house and what you want done. Ten minutes usually settles whether it is a job for us.
A visit
We measure, look at access and staging, and check what we can see behind the walls.
A written scope and price
In parts, so you can see each one and change it before anything is ordered.
Permits, where they apply
Filed before the first day of work, not during it.
The work
A start date, a sequence, and one person you call.

Call for an estimateQuestions people ask before they call
Can you do it a stage at a time?
Yes, and out here it is the usual way. We scope each stage so it stands on its own and leaves nothing unfinished if you pause, which is the difference between phasing a project and abandoning one halfway.
What happens if you find something behind the wall?
We tell you, we price it, and you decide before it is built. In stock that has been worked on repeatedly this is not an exception, it is an expectation, and it is why the scope names the unknowns instead of hiding them in a round number.
Do I need a permit?
Cosmetic work usually does not. Moving walls, plumbing or electrical usually does. We tell you which applies at the visit and we do not start permit work before the permit exists.
Talk it through
Tell us the apartment and the building, and we will tell you what the work involves.
