Park Slope Most Trusted Flat Renovation Partner
Turning Brownstones and Co-ops into Homes You’ll Brag About
Park Slope is special. You know it the second you step onto a tree-shaded block of limestone townhouses or grab a coffee on 7th Avenue and feel the whole neighborhood breathing slow on a Sunday morning. What’s not always special is coming home to a kitchen the size of a closet, a bathroom with 1970s peach tile, or a third floor that creaks like it’s personally offended you gained five pounds.
We get it. We’ve been fixing exactly those problems in Park Slope for 37 years.
We’re Zicklin Contracting, and we’re the flat renovation contractor Park Slope trusts when it’s time to stop apologizing for your apartment and start showing it off.
We Wrote the Book on Park Slope Renovations (Actually, We Just Live It)
We know the difference between a pre-war co-op on Prospect Park West and a postwar condo on 4th Avenue. We know which brownstone floors can handle radiant heat and which landmarked row houses need Landmarks Commission sign-off before you even think about touching the mantel. We’ve carried 12-foot quartz slabs up four flights of a Carroll Gardens-era walk-up (close enough — we borrow your Slope neighbors all the time).
In short: your building has rules, quirks, and probably a board packet thicker than a novel. We speak that language fluently.
Our Signature 4-Phase Process
How It Really Goes Down in Park Slope
We meet you at your place — usually on a weeknight or Saturday morning when the light is doing that perfect Park Slope thing through your windows. We listen more than we talk.
You get real plans — floor plans you can actually read, 3D walk-throughs on an iPad, material boards with real samples (not just pretty Pinterest photos). We write the alt-2 application and sit through the co-op interview if you want us to.
We wrap your floors, pad the stairs, and bribe the super with good coffee. Dust stays in plastic zip-walls, not in your life.
Our own carpenters, plumbers, and electricians show up (same faces every day) and treat your 100-year-old moldings like the treasures they are.
You come home one day and the place smells like fresh paint and possibility. We walk through with you, fix the one outlet you decide should be two inches higher, hand you the keys, and disappear — until you call us back for the next project.
