Full Home Renovation in New York City
MH Construction provides complete home renovation services across NYC. Whether you’re updating a multi-family brownstone in Brooklyn, renovating a single-family colonial in Queens, modernizing a townhouse in Manhattan, or rebuilding a Cape Cod in Staten Island, we manage the entire project from initial consultation through final walkthrough.
When a Full Home Renovation Makes Sense
A full home renovation is the right choice when individual room updates won’t solve the underlying issues. If your home has outdated electrical (60-amp panels, ungrounded outlets), aging plumbing (galvanized steel pipes), poor insulation, an inefficient layout, or systems that haven’t been touched in 30+ years, a comprehensive renovation addresses everything at once — saving money compared to doing it room by room over several years.
Our Full Home Renovation Services
- Whole-house gut renovations — strip to studs on every floor and rebuild with new plumbing, electrical, insulation, drywall, and finishes throughout
- Multi-room remodels — coordinate kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area renovations as a single project for efficiency and cost savings
- Structural work — load-bearing wall removal with steel beam installation, floor joist reinforcement, foundation repair, and structural modifications (engineer-stamped plans required per NYC DOB)
- Complete plumbing replacement — remove old galvanized steel or lead pipes and replace with copper or PEX throughout the home
- Full electrical upgrade — new 200-amp panel, rewiring throughout, modern outlets and switches, dedicated circuits for kitchens and bathrooms, and smart home prewiring
- HVAC installation — central air conditioning, ductless mini-split systems (popular in NYC homes without existing ductwork), and heating system upgrades
- Windows and doors — energy-efficient replacement windows, new exterior doors, and interior door upgrades. Note: in landmarked districts, exterior window replacements require LPC approval
- Exterior work — siding replacement, roofing, facade restoration, stoop and railing repair, and rear yard/deck construction
- Basement and attic conversions — finish unused space into legal living areas with proper egress, ceiling height, and DOB permits

NYC Permits and Regulations
Full home renovations in NYC almost always require DOB permits — for plumbing, electrical, structural modifications, and change-of-use applications. If your home is in a historic district, exterior changes need Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) approval. We pull all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and ensure your renovation meets NYC building code. This isn’t optional — unpermitted work creates legal liability and can block future sales.
Our Process: Start to Finish
- Consultation — on-site assessment, discuss goals and budget, identify building-specific requirements
- Design and planning — detailed scope of work, material selections, and architectural plans if needed
- Permits — file with NYC DOB, obtain all required approvals
- Demolition — controlled tear-out with proper debris removal (we use licensed NYC waste haulers)
- Rough work — structural, plumbing, electrical, HVAC
- Inspections — DOB rough inspections for all permitted work
- Finishing — drywall, tile, flooring, cabinetry, paint, fixtures
- Final walkthrough — punch list, final inspections, certificate of completion
Full home renovations typically take 3–6 months depending on scope. Our project manager is on-site daily and you receive weekly progress reports.
