Home Remodelers Near Babylon

“The team at creative design were amazing from start to finish. They held my hand and walked me through every choice guiding and educating me along the way. Despite the scale of the renovation, I didn't spend one minute worried about the process and if I had a question or wanted to change anything, they made it happen with ease. They made our little starter home into a dream forever home and we couldn't be happier. We can't wait to start our next project with them! I couldn't recommend them more highly”

“Project: Apartment Combination & Gut Renovation (150 W 79th St) Timeline: May 19th – Nov 14th We hired KBR Design & Build for a pretty massive undertaking—combining units into a single 1,200 SF home. If you've ever dealt with NYC co-ops or pre-war buildings, you know how stressful this can be, but Noam and Yosi have a really solid operation. The biggest thing for us was the peace of mind. KBR is a well-established company with an actual, permanently staffed office. Knowing that Eleena (Project Coordinator) was there during business hours to handle the logistics, and that we weren't just chasing a contractor on a cell phone, was huge. They’re clearly in this for the long haul. Our Project Manager, Will, was the one making it happen on the ground. He managed a very technical scope, including: Full MEP Overhaul: They didn't just move things around; they did a complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing update. This included a new multi-zone HVAC system, Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), two new electrical load centers with all new branch circuits, and all new sanitary piping in the cinder concrete slab. Complex Flooring: We did hardwood throughout the whole place, and they were diligent about the subfloor acoustic underlayment, which was a strict requirement for our building. Superintendent Coordination: Will was great at working with our building super to keep things moving and ensure we stayed in compliance with all site protections. Michelle also did a great job helping us bridge the design gap between the two units so the final result felt like one cohesive home. If you want a team that can handle the high-stakes technical side of a Manhattan combination without disappearing on you, hire this crew.”

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Clawson Architects on our full-home renovation. We came to our first meeting with three goals for the project: a second floor addition, plenty of natural light and a design which relates to and elevates the existing neighborhood. From that moment to the final completion, Marvin and the team were fully committed to working with us to understand what that meant and how it could be achieved within our budget. The whole process felt like a true collaboration and resulted in a home which fulfils everything we were hoping to get from it. It's been amazing to see the way the light flooding into the house changes as we start to shift seasons and how the flow through the house has been refined to suit our own personal needs. The design itself has the exact balance of mid century and contemporary which we were hoping to achieve. We've received numerous lovely comments from our neighbours and noticed how almost everyone who passes by cranes their neck to take in the building - I think we've really made something special which doesn't just make us happy but is really putting something back into area. Friends, family and colleagues have asked us about the renovation process, expecting us to have all these crazy stories about how hard and stressful it was. But in truth, although there were certainly bumps in the road, we have actively and thoroughly enjoyed the project from start to end. We put that down to the amazing teams of people we were able to work with.”
