Kitchen Renovation Forest Hills — Classic Lines, Modern Code

Forest Hills carries a different rhythm — pre-war apartments, Tudor homes, postwar co-ops. Every structure speaks a different language, and a Kitchen Renovation Forest Hills means translating all of them into today’s standards without losing character. NYC Renovation runs that balance: compliance-first, detail-driven, and never surface-only.

We begin where others usually guess — behind the walls. Wiring age, vent placement, riser position — those hidden details decide how smoothly a renovation moves. And in Forest Hills, those systems can be decades old. We check them, file them, and rebuild with precision.

    Why Forest Hills Homeowners Choose Us

    Because this neighborhood doesn’t need flashy marketing. It needs renovation discipline. Kitchen Remodel Forest Hills projects demand DOB familiarity, co-op patience, and steady coordination with building management. We’ve handled all of it — from single-family permits to alteration agreements for high-rise boards.

    Every drawing we file aligns with DOB code. Every step we take is logged. That’s why Forest Hills clients come back — our work clears inspection the first time.

    The Process — Step by Step, No Guesswork

    We start with a complete site assessment: measure, document, photograph. Plumbing, gas, and electrical plans follow. Once the drawings are approved and permits secured, demolition starts. Dust containment, debris removal, load handling — all performed to city safety standards. From there: framing, rough-ins, inspection scheduling, then finish work. Cabinets, tiles, fixtures, and lighting all come last — never before clearance. This rhythm keeps Forest Hills renovations smooth, predictable, and code-aligned.

    Sam from Zicklin Contracting did the NYC parapet Inspection for me. He showed up on time, did a though inspection, filed the report with the city and sent me a copy of the report. It was a pleasure working with Sam and I will call him for future jobs.

    The Queens dept of building issued a zoning issue related to our front yard. The front yard was completely covered with concrete decades ago. Zoning must have been changed and now requires at least 25 percent area with soil for plants. Zicklin Contracting was hired to help remedy the issue. They were very communicative , responsive and quickly came with a crew to remove the necessary concrete at a reasonable price. The job was completed very professionally and I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to use them again. W.T. Owner of the property.

    My basement was a complete renovation due to a flood issue. I have never had to deal with a major construction project, but it was made easier due to the help of the contractor and his team. Work was done in timely manner.All the workers were very professional and a pleasure to work with. I am very satisfied with the finished product!

      Permits, Co-ops, and Board Coordination

      Forest Hills has more co-op and condo boards than most NYC neighborhoods — and each has its own renovation manual. We read them. We follow them. We submit all required paperwork — insurance certificates, architectural drawings, DOB permits, and scope letters — before any tool hits the floor. Our expediting team handles DOB filings: plumbing, electrical, gas, asbestos control, and construction permits. You don’t chase forms; we deliver them pre-approved.
