Licensed General Contractor in Staten Island
MH Construction serves Staten Island homeowners with professional renovation and construction services. Staten Island’s housing stock is unlike any other borough — predominantly single-family homes, many with yards, garages, basements, and attics that offer significant renovation potential. Whether you’re updating a split-level in Eltingville, renovating a colonial in Todt Hill, or finishing a basement in Great Kills, we bring the same quality and professionalism that defines our work across NYC.
Staten Island: Unique Renovation Opportunities
Staten Island homeowners have advantages that other boroughs don’t: larger lots, detached homes, fewer building restrictions (most homes aren’t co-ops or condos, so no board approvals needed), and more space to work. This means renovations are often faster and more cost-effective than in Manhattan or Brooklyn. At the same time, Staten Island homes face their own challenges — many were built in the 1960s–80s and need system upgrades, and coastal properties have specific flood zone requirements.

Flood Zone Considerations
After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, large sections of Staten Island’s coastline were remapped into FEMA flood zones. Homes in these areas have specific requirements for renovations involving below-grade space (basements), mechanical systems, and structural modifications. If your home is in a flood zone, we factor FEMA requirements into the renovation plan from day one — including elevated utilities, flood-resistant materials, and proper venting. We also work with homeowners navigating the NYC Build It Back program and other recovery/resilience programs.
