Complete Home Transformations

An interior renovation goes beyond updating individual rooms—it transforms how your entire home feels and functions. Whether you're opening up a compartmentalized floor plan, converting a brownstone into a modern family home, or executing a full gut renovation of a Manhattan apartment, interior renovation requires coordinating structural changes, mechanical systems, finishes, and design details into a cohesive result.

Lion Construction Management manages comprehensive residential interior renovations across NYC and Long Island. We handle everything from demolition and structural modifications to framing, drywall, trim carpentry, painting, and all finish installations. Our team coordinates electrical panel upgrades, HVAC modifications, plumbing relocations, and every trade required to transform your space from studs to move-in ready.

We work alongside your architect and designer to ensure the construction faithfully executes the design intent—managing the hundreds of decisions and details that arise during a renovation and keeping the project on schedule and budget.

Why Professional Interior Renovation Matters

Interior renovation is the most comprehensive form of home improvement — it can involve every building system and every surface in your home. Removing a wall might mean relocating ductwork, rerouting electrical conduit, and installing a structural beam. Relocating a kitchen means extending plumbing supply and waste lines, sometimes across an entire floor. This complexity is why interior renovation should never be approached piecemeal. Lion Construction Management plans the entire project holistically during pre-construction — identifying every structural, mechanical, and sequencing consideration before demolition begins. Our integrated project management means one team coordinates your architect, structural engineer, plumber, electrician, HVAC contractor, and finish trades. The difference between a chaotic renovation and a smooth one is the quality of planning and management behind it.

Residential Interior Renovation, Answered

A full interior renovation typically includes demolition, structural modifications, new framing and drywall, electrical and plumbing upgrades, HVAC work, flooring installation, trim carpentry, painting, and all finish installations. Lion Construction Management manages every trade and detail from start to finish.

A full apartment gut renovation in NYC typically takes 4–8 months depending on size and complexity. A 1-bedroom apartment renovation usually takes 3–5 months; a 3-bedroom can take 5–8 months. Add 4–8 weeks for co-op or condo board approval before construction starts.

Yes. We regularly remove walls to create open-concept living spaces. If a wall is load-bearing, we install engineered steel beams to carry the load. Our team coordinates with structural engineers and handles all DOB permits for structural modifications.
