Turning Harbor-Side Flats into the Homes You’ll Never Want to Leave
Great Kills is pure South Shore magic: boats bobbing in the marina, backyards that actually back up to water, and block parties that start with clams and end with fireworks over the bay. Your flat should feel that good every single day. Too many co-ops on Hillside Terrace, brick six-families off Nelson Avenue, and waterfront condos near the yacht club are still stuck with 1970s Formica, bathrooms the size of a phone booth, and walls that block the exact views you bought the place for.
For over 37 years, Zicklin Contracting has been the flat renovation contractor Great Kills families call when they’re tired of squeezing around a card-table island and ready for a home that finally fits the boats, the kids, and Sunday sauce for twenty.
We Know Great Kills Like the Block We Grew Up On
We’ve gutted harbor-view co-ops at the Pointe, opened railroad flats on Armstrong Avenue, and rebuilt corner units that look straight down the marina channel. We know the raised foundations that flood if you sneeze wrong, the steam boilers nobody’s allowed to touch, and exactly how many pages the boards at Seagate, Harbor Vue, or the smaller condos on Giffords Lane want in their alteration packets. Our crews have carried 14-foot slabs through sliding glass doors at sunrise (so the fishermen don’t yell) and installed hurricane-rated windows that laugh at storms while saving every original oak floorboard.

Final Party – Deep clean, punch-list walkthrough, and a multi-year warranty you can count on when the next nor’easter hits.
