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 Queens homes
Two-families, co-ops and everything between.
One- and two-family homes
Plans account for what changes with a second unit: separate utilities, fire separation and the permits that come with them.
Basements, done legally
Turning a basement into living space has strict rules on ceiling height, windows and exits. Your plan flags what’s allowed before you spend on it.
Co-ops & garden apartments
From Jackson Heights to Forest Hills, your plan flags what the board will likely ask for: an alteration agreement, insurance certificates and work hours.
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 Queens?
It depends on size, finishes and your home, 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.
