Additions & New Builds

Adding square footage to a home or building a new structure in NYC requires expertise in zoning, height restrictions, and neighbor notifications. We only list general contractors with demonstrated experience securing land use approvals and managing multi-phase construction in dense neighborhoods.

Each contractor must show proof of current licensing for new building work, including those qualified to handle additions on historic landmarks or in overlay districts. We confirm their familiarity with local Board of Standards and Appeals processes and environmental reviews.

This category is strictly for general contractors—not architects or developers alone—who manage the full build process, from site prep through final sign-off. You’ll get licensed pros who pull permits for the entire scope and stand behind their work through inspections and occupancy.
