What Queens Renovation Actually Involves

Queens has the highest homeownership rate of any borough in New York City. That means renovation decisions here are made by property owners, not building boards or landlords, and the stakes are personal. A $50,000 kitchen renovation in a Forest Hills row house is a significant investment in a property the family has owned for decades. Getting it wrong is not just a construction failure. It affects the home’s value and the family that lives in it.

  • Detached and semi-detached homes in neighborhoods like Forest Hills, Flushing, and Jackson Heights were built primarily between the 1920s and 1960s. Many have original plumbing with galvanized steel pipes that have corroded from the inside over decades and electrical panels sized for 1950s household loads, not modern kitchens and home offices. A full kitchen renovation in one of these homes almost always involves plumbing and electrical upgrades as part of the base scope.
  • Basement conversions and extensions are common renovation goals in Queens row houses. Many homeowners want to convert unfinished basements into usable living space like home offices, guest rooms, and family rooms. These projects require waterproofing, egress compliance, and proper permit filing. Skipping any of those steps creates liability and reduces resale value.
  • Row house and semi-detached construction means shared walls with neighboring properties. Renovation work that affects structural elements or party walls requires careful engineering and coordination — the wrong move affects your neighbor’s home, not just yours.
  • NYC DOB permits in Queens are required for the same scope of work as in the rest of the five boroughs — structural changes, plumbing moves, electrical panel upgrades, and HVAC work. Queens properties do not have the co-op board complexity of Manhattan, but they are still subject to full New York City building code and permit requirements.

Multi Construction Co. evaluates every Queens property against its actual conditions, not a generic renovation checklist, before any scope is written or any price is quoted.

"It is more than a passion project. It is more than a creative vision realized. It is Multi."

I would highly recommend Shafayet and his team at Multi Construction. The job was an extensive gut and renovation of a 100+ year old five story building. The work included structural work to repair / replace old decaying beams and to add new support beams. The work included the relocation of 2 full new kitchens; all new internal plumbing; an upgraded electrical system; and the installation of split air conditioning systems throughout all 5 floors. The millwork / finishing / painting done by his team were meticulous, and we ended up 2 beautiful new apartments - a triplex with 2 bedrooms 2 baths, and a duplex with 2 bedrooms / 2 baths. Shafayet was always responsive to our inquiries / requests and provided solutions to the many problems that were encountered in a project of this size. He also coordinated well with the architect and third party vendors that were involved in this project too. His bid for the job was very reasonable compared to the bids of 4 other general contractors. Great value overall!

Shafayet gave a prompt and detailed estimate for a fairly big painting job. His crew did very good work, they showed up on time every day and even came on a weekend to complete the job. That was extremely helpful to me. Highly recommend their services.

Our brownstone coop hired Multi to paint the building and repair the wooden molding. Their price was competitive , but what really made us appreciate Multi was that they always did what they said. Their hands-on owner, Shafayet, was responsive and fully transparent, and even asked for a meeting when he sensed a disconnect regarding our expectations and the treatment we chose. For credibility we might say that his people are skilled, but that it's important to take care to monitor scaffolding people, whom Multi doesn't directly supervise. In our view he turned out to be exactly what we were hoping to find -- instead of IBM, a local, smallish outfit that led with scrappiness and responsiveness. Highly recommended

Multi Construction completed a gut renovation of our home that had not been renovated since the 1960s. Shafayet and his crew did a truly amazing job, and I am so thankful for all their time, care, and commitment to making our house special and beautiful. This was a big job. We installed 2 new kitchens, 2 new bathrooms, rebuilt the back wall of our house to add large windows, added a deck, skylights, and a bunch of other things in between. At every step, Shafayet worked hard to make sure the house turned out perfectly. I have nothing but the best things to say about our new home and the care Multi put in to make it right. For this type of work, we received bids from a number of different people. Multi priced everything very competitively and they are very transparent on costs for change orders. I recommend them highly, and I will be sending friends to them for years to come!

We have truly nothing but the best things to say about our partnership with Shafayet and our finished kitchen. The entire process was smooth from start to finish and I never experienced one ounce of unprofessionalism from Shafayet or ANYONE on his team. In fact, in many instances, Shafayet and his team went above and beyond what we asked of them with no battles or complaints. Some details: *Shafayet employs skilled, honest, confident and respectful PROFESSIONALS. We were warned when we received Shafayet's quote that 1-2 guys would be doing ALL the work (demo, plumbing, painting, electrical, etc.). That is NOT the case at all. Anthony, who installed our cabinets, puts his heart and soul into the work, and it was not a clearcut, easy job. He will not put in a single screw until he knows it's perfect or can explain any issues he may foresee. Anthony never cut a corner. And Glenn, the electrician, is one of the nicest human beings I've met, but also a really skilled electrician. He knows what he has to do to get the job done, which ultimately makes you feel like you're in good hands. *Shafayet is a busy guy but always responded to my calls and my texts in a timely manner. A renovation is stressful enough, I can't imagine the added stress of not being able to communicate with your GC (and trust me, we had that with other vendors - unrelated to Multi Construction Co- during this renovation). *Shafayet is flexible. I told Shafayet from the beginning that I had my own painter and wallpaper-er. He was fine with that. Many of GCs we interviewed said it had to be their whole team or they wouldn't do it. I can see the efficiencies of having one team for the whole project, but Shafayet put that aside to please us. *Shafayet keeps a close eye on all of his projects and delegates appropriately. Shafayet was not in our home every single day, but he was always there on important days and he would check in on progress every few days. He holds his guys to a high standard of quality in their work. *The best way to build a relationship with Shafayet is to simply treat him the way you want to be treated. I have read some of the poor reviews on Yelp here and can honestly say I do not share one iota of their experience. I'm not sure if they approached Shafayet in a manner that quickly put him on the defense or he felt was condescending. But I felt and I believe Shafayet felt that we were on equal ground and that made our working relationship successful. I treated all my interactions with him with respect and I feel he did the same back. I would be thrilled to work with Shafayet and his team again and highly recommend him for other jobs.

The Multi Construction Co. Advantage

Why Queens Property Owners Choose Multi Construction Co.

01

We understand Queens Housing Stock

Row houses, semi-detached homes, pre-war apartment buildings, and post-war construction. We have worked inside all of them. We know what aging plumbing looks like behind Queens’ walls, what the electrical panels in 1950s Forest Hills homes need to handle a modern kitchen, and what a proper basement waterproofing job requires to hold up against Queens’ groundwater conditions.

02

One Contractor for the Full Scope

Structural work, plumbing, electrical, tiling, carpentry, and painting: one team, one contract, one point of accountability. Queens homeowners should not have to coordinate between four different contractors for a renovation project. We manage the full scope so you do not have to.

03

We Pull Permits and Pass Inspections

 All renovation work performed by Multi Construction Co. is done under proper NYC permits. We file with the NYC Department of Buildings, coordinate inspections, and close out permits at project completion. This protects your investment and your ability to sell or refinance the property.

04

Honest Scoping Before Any Work Starts

Queens homes, especially older row houses and detached properties, regularly have conditions behind walls and under floors that are not visible during a first walkthrough. We assess properties thoroughly before writing a scope and tell you what we expect to find. When unexpected conditions arise, you get a clear explanation and an agreed response, not a change order that doubles your budget.

05

Projects in the $25,000 to $100,000+ Range

We work on substantial renovation projects that require planning, permitting, and skilled execution, not patch-and-paint jobs. If your Queens project is in that range, we are the right contractor.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Renovation in Queens

Have questions? We’ve answered some of the most common ones.

Yes, for most significant work. NYC Department of Buildings permits are required for structural changes, plumbing modifications, electrical panel upgrades, HVAC work, and basement conversions. Cosmetic work — painting, flooring, cabinet replacement without plumbing changes — generally does not require a permit. Multi Construction Co. handles all permit filing and DOB inspection coordination as part of our project scope.

Kitchen renovations in Queens typically range from $25,000 to $70,000 depending on scope and materials. Bathroom renovations range from $15,000 to $40,000. Full first-floor renovations in a Queens row house typically fall between $60,000 and $150,000 depending on what systems need to be upgraded alongside the visible work. We provide detailed estimates so you know exactly what you are paying for before any contract is signed.

Yes. Basement conversions in Queens row houses are one of the more common projects we handle. A proper basement conversion requires waterproofing, egress window installation to meet NYC code, electrical and HVAC rough-in, and finish work. NYC DOB permits are required. We assess your basement’s specific conditions — drainage, ceiling height, existing utilities — during the initial consultation and give you a realistic scope and cost before anything starts.

In most cases involving Queens homes built before 1970, yes. Galvanized steel plumbing corrodes from the inside and eventually restricts water flow or fails entirely. Adding modern kitchen appliances and fixtures to a corroded system typically causes problems within months of project completion. Electrical panels in older Queens homes are similarly undersized for modern kitchen loads. We assess both systems during our pre-project walkthrough and include necessary upgrades in the project scope rather than leaving them to create problems after completion.

Yes. We work with residential homeowners, commercial property owners, and property managers across Queens. For commercial projects we structure work to meet lease timelines and minimize disruption to building tenants and operations.

Yes. Multi Construction Co. is fully licensed and insured to perform renovation work across all five New York City boroughs, including Queens. We carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage on all projects.
