Expert interior renovation services for Staten Island homes and businesses
Interior renovation in Staten Island 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.
Staten Island's suburban character sets it apart from every other borough — larger lots, detached homes, private driveways, and a residential scale that allows for renovation projects rarely possible in the rest of NYC. From the estate-sized homes of Todt Hill and Emerson Hill to the waterfront colonials of Great Kills and the Victorian gems of St. George, Staten Island homeowners often undertake ambitious projects: full-home additions, master suite buildouts, outdoor kitchens and living spaces, finished basements with walk-out access, and garage conversions. Lion Construction Management brings the project management rigor and trade network of a top NYC firm to Staten Island's residential landscape.

Staten Island renovation projects often take advantage of the borough's larger homes and lot sizes — additions, extensions, full-floor master suites, and outdoor living spaces are common projects that would be impossible in denser boroughs. After your consultation, Lion Construction Management assesses your property for renovation potential, including zoning analysis for additions (most Staten Island lots are in R1-R3 zones with specific FAR and setback requirements). We manage DOB permits, any required FEMA compliance for flood-zone properties, and coordinate structural engineering for additions. Expect a comprehensive pre-construction phase covering site survey, zoning review, design coordination, and detailed cost estimating before construction begins.
A full gut renovation in Staten Island typically takes 4–8 months depending on the size and complexity of the project. Larger kitchen footprints in single-family homes can extend the timeline but also allow for more phasing flexibility. 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 local building department coordination. We know the local requirements inside and out, which prevents delays and ensures full compliance.
