Where Ferry Views Meet Interiors Worth Coming Home To
St. George is the gateway to the island: the moment the ferry doors open you see the skyline, feel the salt air, and remember why you live here. Your flat should feel that good every single day. Too many pre-war co-ops on St. Marks Place, converted warehouses at Bay Street Landing, and classic brick buildings on Westervelt still have 1980s kitchens that block the harbor view, bathrooms with cracked tile, and layouts that haven’t changed since the Staten Island Ferry was fifty cents.
For over 37 years, Zicklin Contracting has been the flat renovation contractor St. George residents and the toughest waterfront boards trust to open up those views, modernize every inch, and still respect the historic bones of the neighborhood.
We Know St. George Buildings Like Locals
We’ve gutted parlor-floor beauties on Hamilton Avenue, reconfigured loft-style units at The Accolade, and modernized river-facing co-ops overlooking the terminal. We know the post-tension concrete slabs in the newer towers, the thick masonry walls in the 1920s conversions, and exactly how detailed the alteration agreements need to be for 75 Stuyvesant Place or the Pointe. Our crews have craned 14-foot islands onto third-floor balconies at 6 a.m. so the ferry commuters never notice and installed triple-pane windows that silence Richmond Terrace while keeping every original plaster medallion perfect.
