Chinatown’s Most Trusted Flat Renovation Partner
For thirty-seven years we’ve been the quiet crew that turns Chinatown’s classic tenement walk-ups and newer East Broadway condos into homes families never want to leave.
From narrow railroad flats on Mott and Pell to modern high-rises along the Bowery, Zicklin Contracting is the only name Chinatown families pass along when they finally decide to open up their space and bring in light. We turn dark, chopped-up apartments into bright open homes, convert tiny galleys into real family kitchens where everyone can cook together, craft spa bathrooms inside the tightest footprints, and handle every co-op board package and DOB filing so you never have to climb five flights with paperwork.
No drama. No surprises. Just flawless work from crews every super from Canal to Henry already greets by first name.
