Expert interior renovation services for Brooklyn homes and businesses
Interior renovation in Brooklyn can mean anything from reconfiguring a floor plan to a complete gut renovation — removing walls, relocating kitchens and bathrooms, upgrading all systems, and finishing every surface. Lion Construction Management manages the full scope of interior renovation projects — structural modifications, MEP rough-ins and finish, drywall, trim, paint, flooring, and fixture installation. We coordinate architects, engineers, and specialty trades under one project management umbrella so your renovation stays on schedule and on budget.
Brooklyn's building stock tells the story of over a century of New York architecture — from the brownstone rows of Park Slope and the limestone townhouses of Brooklyn Heights to the converted warehouses of DUMBO and Williamsburg and the pre-war apartment buildings that line Ocean Parkway. Renovation in Brooklyn often means restoring historic details — original plaster crown moldings, pocket doors, decorative fireplace mantels, and ornate stair balusters — while modernizing kitchens, bathrooms, and building systems. Lion Construction Management specializes in this balance of preservation and modernization that Brooklyn homeowners value.

Brooklyn renovation projects reflect the borough's architectural character — brownstone gut renovations, townhouse floor-through reconfigurations, and condo updates each follow different paths. After your consultation, Lion Construction Management develops a scope of work tailored to your building type. Brownstone renovations often require structural engineering for load-bearing wall modifications, LPC review if you're in a landmarked district, and DOB permits for any plumbing, electrical, or structural work. We manage brownstone-specific logistics: narrow stairway access requiring pre-cut materials, party-wall considerations with attached neighbors, and cellar-level waterproofing for below-grade spaces. Expect weekly check-ins, detailed photo documentation, and proactive communication about schedule and budget throughout the project.
A full gut renovation in Brooklyn typically takes 4–8 months depending on the size and complexity of the project. Brownstone kitchens often involve structural considerations like load-bearing walls and aging plumbing stacks that can extend the timeline. We build detailed schedules during pre-construction and provide regular progress updates throughout.
A renovation typically refers to restoring or updating an existing space while maintaining its general layout, while a remodel involves changing the structure or layout — removing walls, adding rooms, or reconfiguring the floor plan. Lion Construction Management handles both, from cosmetic refreshes to full gut renovations.
For gut renovations, we generally recommend temporarily relocating since the work involves demolition, dust, noise, and disconnected utilities. For partial renovations, many clients stay in their homes while we phase the work. We'll advise on the best approach for your specific project.
Lion Construction Management manages all permitting — from DOB filings and inspections to Landmarks Preservation Commission reviews where applicable. We know the local requirements inside and out, which prevents delays and ensures full compliance.
