Turning Island Homes into Spaces That Finally Feel Like Yours
Staten Island isn’t just another borough—it’s a different pace. Backyards big enough for barbecues, driveways you actually use, and streets where kids still play stickball at dusk. Your flat should match that easy, family-first rhythm. Yet too many co-ops in St. George, postwar condos in New Springville, and classic sixes in Westerleigh are still stuck with 1970s kitchens, bathrooms with avocado fixtures, and layouts that make no sense for how Island families live today.
For over 37 years, Zicklin Contracting has been the flat renovation contractor Staten Island residents trust to gut, reimagine, and rebuild these homes with the care you’d give your own mother’s house.
We Know Staten Island Buildings Like the Back of Our Hand
We’ve renovated river-view co-ops at The Accolade, opened chopped-up railroad flats on Forest Avenue, and modernized high-floor units in Bay Street Landing. We understand the concrete-block construction in Dongan Hills, the steam-heat rules in older Grymes Hill co-ops, and exactly what the boards at Fox Hills, Heartland Village, or the smaller six-family buildings on Castleton Avenue need before they’ll sign off. Our crews have carried 12-foot quartz islands across the Verrazzano at 5 a.m. and installed hurricane-rated windows that finally quiet Victory Boulevard while saving every original plaster detail.
Our Clean, Board-Friendly Process
How It Really Goes Down in Marble Hill Buildings
Free In-Home Consultation – We come to your flat (yes, we’ll take the ferry if we have to) and talk about how your family really uses the space.
Design & Approvals – Detailed plans, photorealistic renderings, material samples, and complete co-op/condo alteration packages. We handle DOB, board interviews, everything.
Site Protection – Floor-to-ceiling dust barriers, padded hallways, and scheduling that respects doormen and neighbors.
Expert Construction – Daily supervision, evening cleanups, and real-time photo updates so you’re never wondering.
Final Reveal – Professional deep clean, punch-list walkthrough, and a rock-solid multi-year warranty.

Full-Service Renovations Built for Island Living
Everything is handled by our own in-house teams—no subcontractors, no excuses:
- Complete gut renovations that remove walls and turn dark, boxy flats into bright, open homes with real dining space and flow to the terrace
- Big, eat-in kitchens made for Sunday gravy that feeds twenty: double islands, pot-fillers, two dishwashers, and pantries that fit the warehouse-club haul
- Primary bathrooms you’ll actually want to linger in: oversized showers, soaking tubs, heated floors, and double vanities so nobody’s late for the ferry
- Full mechanical upgrades: new 400-amp service, recessed lighting, central air or ductless systems that work with co-op rules and Island humidity
- Custom mudrooms, laundry rooms, and hallway built-ins because here you actually need space for boots, sports gear, and Nonna’s extra freezer
- Restoration of hardwood floors, crown molding, and arched doorways that bring pre-war Staten Island charm back to life
One project manager is your single point of contact from first sketch to final key handover.
