How It Works

Our Process

Design & Planning

We review your plans, vision, and budget to develop a detailed renovation scope including all trades, materials, and NYC DOB permit requirements.

Permitting

We file all necessary NYC DOB permits — including alteration applications, plumbing permits, and electrical work orders — before any work begins.

Demolition

Our team performs a careful, controlled demolition — protecting structural elements, existing systems that will remain, and neighboring units.

Rough Work

Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, framing, and insulation rough-in work is completed and inspected by NYC DOB before wall closure.

Finishes

Drywall, flooring, tile, cabinetry, painting, fixtures, and trim are installed to the highest quality standards.

Punch List & Closeout

Final inspections, DOB sign-offs, and punch list completion ensure your space is delivered perfect and fully permitted.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a full gut renovation include?▼

A full gut renovation means stripping a space down to the bare studs (and sometimes the concrete slab) and rebuilding everything from scratch. This typically includes demolition, framing, plumbing rough-in, electrical rough-in, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, tile, cabinetry, fixtures, and painting. Pro Build handles all of these trades under one contract.

Do I need a permit for a gut renovation in NYC?▼

Yes. Virtually all gut renovations in NYC require NYC DOB permits — at minimum an Alteration Type 2 (Alt-2) filing. Plumbing changes require separate plumbing permits. Electrical work requires work orders. Pro Build Restoration manages all permitting so you don't have to navigate the DOB system yourself.

How long does a gut renovation take in NYC?▼

Timeline depends on size and complexity. A studio apartment gut renovation typically takes 8–14 weeks from permit approval to completion. A 3-bedroom apartment may take 16–24 weeks. Large commercial gut renovations are scoped individually. We provide realistic timelines in every proposal.

Do you do gut renovations in occupied buildings?▼

Yes. We have extensive experience in occupied buildings — protecting common areas, working within building hour restrictions, and coordinating with building management and super. We use dust barriers, negative pressure systems, and proper debris removal protocols throughout.

How much does a gut renovation cost in NYC?▼

NYC gut renovation costs vary widely. Studio apartments typically run $80,000–$150,000 for a full gut. One-bedroom apartments range $120,000–$220,000. Larger or higher-end renovations cost more. Commercial spaces are priced by square foot and complexity. We provide detailed free estimates for every project.
