Apartment Renovation Bronx
Excellent Home Improvement renovates Bronx apartments end to end — co-ops, condos and rental units. Kitchens, bathrooms, drywall, painting, flooring and complete remodels delivered under one licensed contract, with fixed written pricing and a 7-year workmanship warranty.
Apartment renovation built for Bronx buildings
Renovating an apartment is not the same job as renovating a house. Shared risers, building work hours, service elevators, alteration agreements and neighbors on the other side of every wall shape how the work has to be sequenced. We have spent years renovating prewar co-ops in Riverdale, postwar condos along the Grand Concourse and rental units across Parkchester and Pelham Bay, and we plan each project around those constraints from day one.
You get one point of contact, one written contract and one schedule. We handle the board package, the certificates of insurance, the super coordination, the licensed trades and the final punch list. Nothing is subcontracted out to a crew you have never met, and no line item appears on the invoice that was not agreed before demolition.
- Fixed line-item pricing agreed in writing before demolition
- Building alteration agreements, COIs and board packages prepared for you
- Zip-wall dust containment, floor protection and daily cleanup
- Licensed electricians and plumbers on every unit
- Elevator padding, service-entrance scheduling and super coordination
- 7-year written workmanship warranty on completed work

Galley and open-plan apartment kitchens rebuilt with full-height cabinetry, quartz counters, tile backsplash, new gas or electric ranges and code-compliant circuits. We design around real Bronx apartment footprints where every inch of wall counts.

What Bronx apartment owners say
They gutted our apartment kitchen and bathroom in nine weeks while we stayed with family. Every date on the schedule held, and the final invoice matched the contract exactly.
Our co-op board is strict about alteration paperwork and work hours. Excellent handled the entire package and the super never once had to call me about noise or debris.
I own three rental units in the Bronx and now use them for every turnover. Same finish package, same per-unit price, same three-week window each time.

Apartment renovation FAQ
How much does an apartment renovation in the Bronx cost?
A cosmetic refresh of a one-bedroom apartment — drywall repair, painting, flooring and fixtures — typically runs $18,000 to $32,000. A full gut of a two-bedroom with a new kitchen and bathroom generally lands between $55,000 and $110,000 depending on finishes, plumbing relocation and building requirements. Every proposal we issue is line-item and fixed before work starts.
How long does a Bronx apartment renovation take?
Cosmetic work is usually 2 to 3 weeks. A kitchen or bathroom alone takes 4 to 6 weeks. A complete apartment remodel with new plumbing, electrical and finishes takes 8 to 14 weeks, including permit review and building-imposed work hours.
Do you handle co-op and condo board alteration agreements?
Yes. We prepare the alteration agreement package, insurance certificates naming the building, managing agent and board, plus schedules that respect building work hours. Most Bronx co-op boards approve our package without a second round of revisions.
Can I stay in the apartment during the renovation?
For phased cosmetic work, often yes — we seal off rooms with zip walls, protect floors and common corridors, and clean daily. For a full gut with plumbing and electrical shutdowns, we recommend moving out for the rough-in phase and give you exact dates up front.
Do apartment renovations in the Bronx need DOB permits?
Cosmetic work such as painting, flooring and cabinet replacement generally does not. Moving plumbing, altering walls, changing electrical circuits or reconfiguring layouts does require DOB filings. We file everything through DOB NOW and attend the inspections ourselves.
Do you renovate rental apartments and unit turnovers for Bronx landlords?
Yes. We run unit-by-unit turnover programs with fixed per-unit pricing, standardized finish packages and staged schedules so occupied units in the same building stay undisturbed.
What warranty comes with the work?
Every apartment renovation carries a 7-year written workmanship warranty, along with manufacturer warranties on cabinetry, tile, flooring and fixtures we supply.
