General Contractor in Manhattan, New York

Most Manhattan projects happen inside buildings with rules of their own. T.Z. Contractor INC. handles apartment renovations, office and retail build-outs and roof work from the Financial District to Washington Heights, and we plan every job around building management, board approvals and neighbors.

Renovating a Co-op or Condo in Manhattan

Before work starts in most co-ops and condos, the building asks for an alteration agreement, drawings, a certificate of insurance naming the building, and a schedule that respects permitted work hours. We prepare the documents the building asks for and follow its rules on deliveries, elevator use and debris removal. Common projects include:

• Kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling.
• Full apartment renovations, including flooring, walls, lighting and finishes.

Commercial Work in Manhattan

We build out offices, retail stores and restaurants, coordinating with landlords and property managers. Read what to expect during a commercial build-out, or see our commercial construction service.

Roofing on Manhattan Buildings

Walk-ups, townhouses and mid-rise buildings in Manhattan mostly have flat roofs. We repair and replace flat roofing systems, fix flashing at bulkheads and parapets, and improve drainage. Rooftop work often needs safety planning and building access arranged in advance.

Permits in Manhattan

Many alterations need permits from the NYC Department of Buildings, and home improvement contractors must be licensed by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Buildings in landmarked districts may also need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval for exterior work.
