Expert interior renovation services for Queens homes and businesses
Interior renovation in Queens 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.
Queens is home to NYC's most varied housing stock — attached and semi-attached brick row houses in Astoria and Jackson Heights, detached Tudor and Colonial homes in Forest Hills and Bayside, waterfront luxury condos in Long Island City, and multi-family buildings throughout the borough. This diversity means renovation projects range from opening up compartmentalized pre-war floor plans to finishing basements, adding rear extensions, and converting garages into living space. Lion Construction Management brings versatility and trade depth to every Queens project — we have the crews, subcontractors, and experience to handle any building type the borough has.

Queens renovation projects span the borough's diverse housing stock — from attached row houses in Astoria to detached colonials in Forest Hills and waterfront condos in Long Island City. After your consultation, Lion Construction Management tailors the approach to your building type and project scope. Detached homes often allow more flexibility — rear extensions, second-story additions, and major layout changes are common and generally straightforward from a permitting perspective. Row house renovations require attention to shared walls and neighborhood construction norms. We manage DOB permits, any required zoning analysis, and coordinate with your HOA or condo association if applicable. Expect detailed planning documents, a clear construction schedule, and regular communication throughout the project.
A full gut renovation in Queens typically takes 4–8 months depending on the size and complexity of the project. Projects in attached row houses may require neighbor notifications and party wall agreements. 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 community board coordination where required. We know the local requirements inside and out, which prevents delays and ensures full compliance.
