General Contractor · Bronx, NY
A Bronx general contractor who runs the entire job.
Excellent Home Improvement takes full general contracting responsibility for Bronx homes and buildings — permits, licensed trades, schedule, budget and warranty under one signed contract and one project manager.
What our general contracting service covers
Every phase of a Bronx build sits with us, from the first measurement to the warranty letter.
Pre-construction planning
Site survey, measured drawings, value-engineered scope and a line-item budget you approve before demolition day is booked.
Permits & DOB filings
DOB NOW submissions, Type 2 alteration permits, LAA applications and inspection scheduling handled entirely by our office.
Trade coordination
Licensed electricians, plumbers and HVAC techs sequenced so no trade waits on another and no week is lost.
Construction management
A single project manager on site daily, weekly written progress updates and a shared change-order log.
Closeout & warranty
Punch list, final inspections, sign-off documentation and a 7-year written workmanship warranty.
Why hire a GC instead of separate trades
Managing your own trades in the Bronx means owning every delay, every permit gap and every dispute between contractors. A general contract moves that risk to us.
- One signed contract instead of separate agreements with six trades
- Fixed line-item pricing — change orders only when you approve them in writing
- Milestone payments tied to completed and inspected work
- Insurance certificates issued to you, your board or your managing agent
- Material lead times ordered ahead so the schedule does not stall
- Daily site protection and cleanup in occupied Bronx homes

General contractor FAQ
What does a general contractor in the Bronx actually do?
A general contractor owns the whole build: scope and budget, DOB filings and permits, scheduling, licensed trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), material procurement, daily site supervision, inspections and the final punch list. You sign one contract and speak with one project manager instead of coordinating six separate vendors.
How do I know a Bronx general contractor is properly licensed?
Ask for the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection Home Improvement Contractor license number and verify it is active, then request a Certificate of Insurance listing both general liability and workers' compensation for your specific job address. We provide both before any contract is signed.
Do you file DOB permits for Bronx projects?
Yes. We handle DOB NOW filings, Type 2 alteration permits, LAA applications where applicable, and we schedule and attend every inspection ourselves. Homeowners never have to deal with the Department of Buildings directly.
How is a general contractor paid on a Bronx renovation?
We use a milestone schedule tied to completed work — deposit, rough-in, substantial completion and final walkthrough. Payments are never front-loaded, and every milestone maps to a line item in the signed written contract.
Can you act as GC on a co-op or condo renovation in the Bronx?
Yes. We prepare the alteration agreement package, insurance certificates naming the building and managing agent, and work-hour compliant schedules that boards and supers require before releasing the job.
What size projects do you take as general contractor?
From single-room alterations around $25,000 to whole-house gut renovations and multi-family building upgrades above $300,000. If a project is too small to justify full GC oversight, we say so up front.
