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 Manhattan homes
Co-op boards, townhouses and lofts.
Co-op & condo boards
Your plan lists what the board and managing agent usually require: an alteration agreement, architect’s drawings for wet-over-dry work, insurance certificates, work hours and a refundable deposit.
Wet-over-dry rules
Moving a kitchen or bath over a neighbor’s living space is often restricted. REMODEL flags it early so you price a layout your board can approve.
Landmark districts
In historic districts like the Upper West Side, Greenwich Village and SoHo, exterior and some window work needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. Check early.
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 bathroom remodel cost in Manhattan?
It depends on size, finishes and your building’s rules, but Manhattan bathroom remodels commonly run from the mid five figures and up, with board requirements adding time and cost. 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.
