How it works
Three steps. No guesswork.
Licensed pros only
Every contractor’s NYC Home Improvement Contractor license is checked against the city’s records, and their insurance has to be current.
Compare bids line by line
Everyone prices the same scope, and REMODEL flags missing items and overpriced lines before you choose.
Pay as work is approved
You fund each stage before it starts. Stripe holds it, and your contractor is paid only when you approve.
Built for Brooklyn homes
Brownstones, co-ops and everything between.
Co-ops & condos
Your plan flags what the board will likely ask for: an alteration agreement, insurance certificates, work hours and deposits.
Brownstones & row houses
Older buildings mean surprises. Plans call out lead-paint and asbestos testing for pre-1978 homes and leave room in the budget.
Landmark districts
In historic districts like Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights and Fort Greene, exterior work usually needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. Check early, since it can add weeks to your timeline.
Permits done right
Most remodels need a Department of Buildings filing, and plumbing and electrical must be done by NYC-licensed master plumbers and electricians.
Questions
Good to know.
What does it cost?
Nothing for homeowners. You pay your contractor’s price and nothing more. REMODEL earns a small fee from the contractor, only when they’re paid.
What does a kitchen remodel cost in Brooklyn?
It depends on size, finishes and your building, but full kitchen remodels in NYC commonly run from the high five figures into six figures. Your free plan gives a range for your project and a recommended target.
Where does my money go?
You pay each stage through Stripe before it starts. It’s held on the REMODEL platform and released to your contractor only when you approve that stage.
Can I bring my own contractor?
Yes. Invite them to your project; they price the same scope as everyone else and must hold an active NYC Home Improvement Contractor license.
