How long does a full home renovation take in NYC?

A full home renovation in NYC typically takes 3-6 months, depending on size and scope. Co-ops and condos may require board approvals, permits, and restricted work hours that can affect the timeline. ODEM Renovations plans each phase carefully to minimize delays and keep your project on schedule.

Do I need permits for a full home or apartment renovation in NYC?

Yes. Nearly all full home and apartment renovations in NYC require permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural work, and skipping them can lead to violations, stop work orders, fines, or resale issues. As a licensed NYC general contractor, we handle all DOB filings, permits, and inspections to keep your renovation fully compliant and done the right way.

How much does a full home renovation cost in NYC?

Full home renovation costs in NYC typically range from $150 to $300+ per square foot, depending on the size of the apartment or townhouse, finishes, and scope of work. Custom layout changes, materials, and millwork can also affect the final budget.

Can you help with design and material selections for my renovation?

Yes. We guide you through layout planning and material selections, including kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, and finishes, ensuring your full home renovation in NYC is tailored to your vision and dream.

Should I plan to live in my apartment during a full home renovation?

While we can work around you living in the apartment, it is not recommended during a full home or apartment renovation in NYC due to demolition, dust, noise, and plumbing or electrical shutoffs. Temporarily relocating allows your renovation or gut renovation to move faster, safer, and more efficiently while helping your general contractor stay on schedule.
