Elevating Waterfront Flats into Homes with Manhattan Views
Long Island City has changed everything. One moment you’re looking out at the skyline like it’s a postcard, the next you’re reminded the kitchen was built when that view was still a parking lot. The new towers gleam, the ferries glide past, and yet so many flats—whether in converted warehouses, classic pre-war walk-ups, or early-2000s condos—are still waiting for their moment.
For over 37 years, Zicklin Contracting has been the flat renovation contractor Long Island City residents and boards turn to when they want renovations as bold as the neighborhood itself. We’ve transformed raw lofts on Vernon Boulevard, gutted railroad flats off Jackson Avenue, and modernized high-floor units in the newest glass towers—always with the precision this fast-evolving waterfront demands.
We Know Long Island City Buildings Better Than Most
We understand the concrete post-tension slabs in the high-rises along the East River, the brick-and-timber bones of the old factory conversions near Court Square, and the strict alteration rules of every major condo and co-op from Hunters Point to Queensbridge. We’ve hoisted 14-foot marble islands through 40th-floor freight elevators and threaded new plumbing through 1920s masonry without waking the neighbors. If your building has a reputation for tough boards or tricky structural quirks, chances are we’ve already worked there.
