Yes — we handle all COI paperwork as standard. Most NYC co-ops, condos, and rental buildings require a Certificate of Insurance naming the building as an additional insured before any contractor can begin work. We prepare and submit the COI to your building management or managing agent at no extra charge, and we carry full general liability and workers' compensation coverage.

Absolutely. We work in occupied apartments every day. Our crews use full furniture and floor protection, low-VOC paints to minimise odour, and a room-by-room approach so you can continue living normally while work progresses. We're happy to schedule around your routine — early starts, specific rooms first, or phased over multiple days.

Co-op alteration agreements typically take 2–6 weeks to be approved by the board, depending on the building. We recommend submitting the alteration agreement and COI as early as possible. Once approved, we can usually start within 1–2 weeks. We'll guide you through exactly what your building requires and can liaise directly with your managing agent to keep things moving.

Yes — after-hours and weekend scheduling is a core part of our commercial service. We regularly work evenings, early mornings, and weekends to ensure zero disruption to your operations. After-hours work carries a scheduling premium, which is reflected in your estimate. We coordinate directly with your facilities manager to plan access windows.

For standard work we use Benjamin Moore Regal Select and Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint — both excellent trade-grade paints with great coverage and durability. For premium projects we use Farrow & Ball and Fine Paints of Europe. For luxury finishes we can source any designer paint and apply specialist finishes including Venetian plaster, limewash, and skim coat. All paints are low-VOC as standard.

Yes. Exterior work in NYC often requires a DOT (Department of Transportation) permit for sidewalk bridging or scaffolding. We manage the full permit process, coordinate with the DOT, and arrange all scaffolding through licensed contractors. Permit costs and scaffolding are quoted separately after a site assessment, as they vary significantly by building height and street conditions.

The online calculator gives you a well-calibrated ballpark based on NYC market rates, your borough, building type, room count, scope, and finish level. Most final quotes come in within 10–15% of the online estimate. The main variables that can shift the price are ceiling height (pre-war buildings with 10+ ft ceilings), surface condition (significant patching or skim coat needed), and any building-specific access requirements discovered at inspection. The on-site visit is always free.

Everything is included: labour, all paint and materials, surface preparation (filling, sanding, priming), furniture and floor protection, daily clean-up, and a final walkthrough. You never need to source or purchase paint separately. For premium and luxury finishes, we'll provide a colour consultation and sample boards before work begins.
