Our work is centered around the philosophy of maximizing your return on renovation. This means that we navigate the process of your New York City renovation project with an eye toward creating value. 

The time and money that you invest in your home should come back to you exponentially--if you can avoid the old adage: “it will take twice as long and cost you twice as much”

Let our experience guide the creation of your beautiful, high-value home. 

1) RIGHT-SIZED RENOVATION

We analyze the comparable apartments in your neighborhood in order to provide a recommendation on the level of renovation that will result in the greatest return on your investment. We believe that you should never over- or under-renovate whether you're planning to sell or not.

2) HONEST CONTRACTING

We scrutinize your plans to ensure that everything the job requires is included in the contract. We believe that the notorious change order should only be the result of an actual change, not an omission in the details.

"Wait, I thought that was included in the price—why does it cost extra?"

3) THE WORLD OUTSIDE NYC

We help you purchase high quality materials from local vendors beyond the five boroughs to open you up to a broad range of options--avoiding excess cost and limited variety. We believe that the exclusivity and premium pricing of New York City need only apply to your future listing.

"Why should I be limited to the over-priced materials sold in fancy showrooms?"

4) DOUBLE CHECKING

We save you time and disappointment by ensuring that nothing in your design is overlooked during construction. It’s timely attention to detail that delivers a designer finish. We believe the only way to ensure that the job is done right is to closely monitor the progress.

"So glad we caught that mistake before it created weeks of delays."

5) SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT

From your architect and expediter, to your artisan and building super, we streamline operations and organize your project so all of the moving parts run efficiently. And we provide regular updates on progress and solutions. We believe that managing your renovation need not be your full time job.

"Between work and the apartment renovation, I have no time for real life!"

6) TIMELESS STYLE

We are inspired by the architecture of your building and personality of your neighborhood to create a design for your home that is both a reflection of its surroundings and in-line with the expectations of the market. Our design choices balance clean, classic style with just enough of the latest trend to feel current and polished--for you or your future buyer. 

"Our apartment sold in one week and set a building record, clearly the design had a major impact."

7) TRULY EXPEDITED

We work closely with expediters and architects, which means that the bureaucracy of the NYC Department of Buildings doesn’t slow the arrival of your success and happiness. We believe that permits and approvals happen faster when you know the game.
