Turning Brooklyn Apartments into Homes You’ll Never Want to Leave
If you live in Flatbush, you already know the magic of the neighborhood — the tree-lined streets of Ditmas Park, the energy along Church Avenue, the easy walk to Prospect Park on a Saturday morning. What you might not love quite as much is coming home to a kitchen that hasn’t been touched since the 80s, a bathroom with tiles that have seen better decades, or a layout that forces you to shuffle sideways just to get from the living room to the bedroom.
That’s where we come in.
We’re Zicklin Contracting, and for the last 37 years we’ve been the flat renovation contractor Flatbush homeowners call when they’re finally ready to fall back in love with their apartment.
We Speak Flatbush
Not every contractor understands what it’s like to renovate an apartment in a six-story walk-up with a super who’s seen it all and a co-op board that wants to know the exact shade of white you’re painting the hallway. We do. We grew up working in these buildings. We know how to carry sheetrock up four flights without scratching the banister, how to keep dust out of your neighbor’s life, and how to get a project signed off without drama.
Whether your place is a classic pre-war with original parquet and plaster medallions or a postwar co-op that’s sturdy but stuck in time, we’ve renovated it before — probably on your block.
Our Signature 4-Phase Process
How It Actually Works (No Surprises)
We come to you. A real person (usually the owner) walks through your apartment, listens to what drives you crazy and what you love, and talks through what’s possible.
You see the plan. Detailed drawings, 3D renderings if you want them, and a clear breakdown of the work. We handle permits and board packages so you don’t have to chase signatures.
We protect everything. Floors, hallways, elevators, your sanity — covered. We work clean and quiet because we know you still have to live there.
The transformation happens. Our own crews (no random day labor) do the work in the right order, on the schedule we promised.
You walk through the finished apartment with us, coffee in hand, making sure every detail is exactly right before we call it done.
