Renovations and larger work
NYC Brownstone General Contracting handles renovations and major system replacements in single-family brownstones and townhouses across New York City. The affiliated company scopes the work after an inspection, coordinates permits and filings when required, and works with the maintenance office when a project affects systems already under care.
Renovation and replacement work begins with a walkthrough or inspection. The scope and schedule account for the system, access, equipment availability, permits and related work.
NYC Brownstone General Contracting is our separately insured affiliate for renovations, installations and larger repairs. For an agreement house, recurring care stays on its checklist. Elevator and AV specialists are arranged and supervised by the NYC Brownstone office.

Questions
Do you provide general contracting as well as HVAC?
Yes. NYC Brownstone handles maintenance and has in-house HVAC and mechanical expertise. Repairs, installations and renovations are handled with NYC Brownstone General Contracting, a separately insured affiliated company run by the same family.
What about work NYC Brownstone does not perform?
Elevator and AV work are handled by outside specialists. The office finds the appropriate company, schedules the visit, coordinates access and manages the specialist while they are in the house. This coordination is priced separately.
Do you handle DOB permits and filings?
Yes, when a project requires them. Our affiliate, NYC Brownstone General Contracting, coordinates the permit, inspection and filing process with the appropriate professionals. City inspections and filings for backflow devices, sprinkler systems and boilers can also be included in a maintenance agreement.
How long does a full system replacement take?
Timing depends on the system, access, equipment availability, permits and any related electrical, plumbing or finish work. A proposed scope and schedule follow the inspection. Installations are handled with our affiliated NYC Brownstone General Contracting.
