Scope of Work:
Full Gut Renovation – We stripped the apartment down to its core, creating a blank canvas to rebuild a space that feels fresh, modern, and welcoming.
Opening Up the Space – Removing the load-bearing walls on the second floor opened up the layout. We carefully installed I-beams and C-channels, ensuring the structure remained solid while transforming the flow of the apartment.
Kitchen Reimagined – The kitchen found a new home within the layout, upgraded with a brand-new electrical riser from the basement. We removed the old gas setup and introduced a sleek, all-electric system for a safer, more efficient design.
Character Through Brickwork – At the client's request, we left an exposed hallway brick wall. We carefully repointed and sealed it, preserving its rich character while giving it a refined finish.
Flooring with Personality – The client selected wide hardwood planks for the floors. We sanded and sealed them with an epoxy finish, giving the space warmth, texture, and durability - perfect for modern city living.
Turning Challenges into Triumphs:
Repairing Fire-Damaged Joists – During demolition, we discovered joists that had been compromised by an old fire. We reinforced and secured each one, ensuring the floor's strength and stability for years to come.
Expert Structural Solutions – Removing load-bearing walls isn’t simple. Our team tackled it with precision, ensuring the new beams were securely welded and pocketed into the brickwork—solid craftsmanship from start to finish.
Modernizing Infrastructure – The kitchen relocation meant big upgrades. We ran a new electrical riser from the basement, capped off old gas lines, and introduced a modern electric system, setting the space up for a future-focused lifestyle.
Preserving History with Style – The exposed brick wall became a standout feature, adding texture and authentic Harlem charm while blending seamlessly with the modern design.
