General Info

We provide clients with a single point of contact and maintain full-time staff at a conveniently located office so that we are at their beck and call. Here is a brief description of how we simplify and bring value to the renovation process: Pre-Design Services Whether you currently own or are thinking of buying, we help you get a handle on what you can do with your home. Our outlook and advice is investment oriented to help you stretch the value of your dollar, and help you decide how much you should do to, or offer on, your home. Design Phase Services We work with you, your architect or designer, and your decorator to realize your dreams. Or, we can assume responsibility for the design completely by rolling design services into our contract with our own design resources. Either way, we provide constructability reviews and real sub-contractor and vendor pricing during design, to ensure that what gets drawn gets built. Most projects hit their first serious snag when drawings go for reviews and approvals. We are expert at anticipating the City's hot points and know how to avoid conflict with the buildings department. We also coordinate closely in the early stages - before design is complete - with building boards and management to ensure that their concerns and needs are met. In this way we avoid approval-driven revisions and delays. Manhattan Renovation controls all of its demolition, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, flooring, cabinet and fixture-work, and exterior deck work and landscaping. And when we say control, we mean daily on-site presence by the company's president, its quality executive, and its field operations personnel. We have no bureaucracy and no problem making the fast decisions that keep a project out of trouble. Construction may be done, but we're not. We take special care to inspect and correct all work before the client moves in. Plus, we can coordinate your move-in and show you how your fixtures and equipment work, making your first few days in your new home that much easier. 10 East 33rd Street,New York, NY 10016; 12th Floor ph 212.685.6358 f 212.685.6359
