Gut Renovation NYC

Project duration depends on project size and the location, but typically 4-8 months for apartments and 6-12 months for houses. Factors affecting timelines include property size, architectural complexity, and permit acquisition. Our team provides detailed timelines during the initial consultation.

The majority of gut work will require multiple permits, which include building permits, plumbing permits, electrical permits and even landmark preservation permits. Zicklin Contracting handles all permit requirements including DOB filings and board approvals for co-ops and condos.

Price range between $250-$400 per square foot for standard renovations and $400-$800+ per square foot for high-end finishes in prime locations. Factors affecting cost include property location, material choices, structural modifications, and building requirements. We provide detailed estimates during consultation.

Since gut renovations usually involve tearing down walls, wiring and updating plumbing, we strongly suggest relocating during the renovation process. Our contractors can help coordinate renovation schedules to minimize disruption to your daily life.
