Multi Construction Co. brings the full range of renovation services to Staten Island, from kitchen and bathroom remodels to full-home gut renovations, basement finishing, and room additions, executed to the standard that Staten Island property owners expect from a contractor they trust with their largest asset.
Staten Island has the highest homeownership rate of any NYC borough and a housing stock that spans from Victorian-era row houses on the North Shore to post-war ranch homes in the Mid-Island to newer suburban construction across the South Shore. Each area presents different renovation opportunities and different structural realities.
Staten Island lot sizes make renovation options available here that simply do not exist in other boroughs. Room additions, garage conversions, deck construction, and exterior expansions are all viable for many Staten Island properties and NYC DOB permits are required for all of them. We assess structural feasibility and zoning compliance for addition projects during the initial consultation.
Multi-Construction Co. plans every Staten Island project around these realities before construction starts, not while it is underway.
"It is more than a passion project. It is more than a creative vision realized. It is Multi."

GOOD Based on 36 reviews Posted on Blossom E.Verified 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!Posted on Ioanis P.Verified 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.Posted on Marlene S.Verified 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 recommendedPosted on Gavin R.Verified Shafayet is prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and receptive. He clearly understand my emergency situation and did a fantastic job meeting my deadline. I can say with confidence, that you will be satisfied with Shafayet and his team.Posted on Amy G.Verified Multi construction did an amazing job on an interior job in our living room. The price was very competitive, they came in on budget and on time, the workers were highly skilled and the final project was great. I would recommend them without hesitation.Posted on Ian A.Verified 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!Posted on Holly K.Verified 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.Posted on David B.Verified CHRIS came the very next morning and got me up and running!!! Quick and efficient ... in and out!!! Replaced some parts and the price was reasonable ... I would definitely call the for future problems... but hopefully won't have to...
The Multi Construction Co. Advantage
01
Post-war single-family homes, Victorian North Shore properties, newer South Shore construction, and flood zone properties each require different approaches. We assess your specific home, its age, its construction type, and its existing systems before we write a single line of scope.
02
A homeowner asking for a kitchen renovation in a 1960s Staten Island ranch house almost always needs plumbing and electrical work addressed at the same time. Aging galvanized pipes and undersized panels behind brand-new cabinetry create failure points within months of project completion. We identify these conditions upfront and include necessary upgrades in the initial scope so they do not become expensive surprises after the renovation is done.
03
Basement finishing is one of the most requested renovation projects on Staten Island and one of the most often done wrong. A basement that is finished without proper waterproofing, adequate egress, and compliant electrical work creates safety risks, permit violations, and moisture problems that devalue the property. We do it correctly the first time.
04
Staten Island’s lot sizes make structural additions viable in ways that are not possible in other boroughs. We assess zoning feasibility, handle architectural drawings, file DOB permits, and execute the structural work under one contract no managing separate contractors for design and construction.
05
We are built for substantial projects that require planning, permitting, and skilled execution across multiple trades. Not patch jobs.
Our Borough Focus
We work across all of Staten Island. Below are areas where we have active project history:

That kind of investment deserves a contractor who does the work right, permits pulled, systems assessed honestly, and construction executed to a standard that holds up for decades.
Request a free estimate and we will schedule an on-site consultation, assess your home’s specific conditions, and give you a clear scope and price before you commit to anything.
Have questions? We’ve answered some of the most common ones.
Yes, for most significant work. NYC DOB permits are required for structural changes, plumbing modifications, electrical upgrades, HVAC work, basement conversions, and room additions anywhere in New York City including Staten Island. Cosmetic work such as painting, flooring, and 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 on Staten Island typically range from $20,000 to $65,000 depending on scope and materials. Bathroom renovations range from $12,000 to $40,000. Basement finishing projects range from $25,000 to $60,000 depending on size and finish level. Room additions vary significantly based on structural scope but typically start at $60,000. We provide detailed line-item estimates before any contract is signed.
In many cases, yes. Staten Island lot sizes and zoning make structural additions feasible for a significant number of properties unlike most of the other boroughs where lot constraints make additions impractical. Feasibility depends on your specific lot, zoning district, and setback requirements. We assess all of this during the initial consultation. If an addition is viable, we handle the architectural drawings, permit filing, and full construction under one contract.
Yes, significantly. Homes in FEMA-designated flood zones particularly in the South Shore areas affected by Hurricane Sandy require specific construction methods for any work below the base flood elevation. This includes using flood-resistant materials, elevating mechanical systems above flood level, and ensuring that below-grade work does not create new water intrusion pathways. We account for flood zone requirements in the initial scope rather than discovering them mid-project.
A properly finished Staten Island basement requires waterproofing before any finish work begins, egress window installation to meet NYC residential code for any room intended as a bedroom, electrical rough-in by a licensed electrician, insulation, and finish work. Skipping waterproofing and egress to save money upfront creates moisture problems, safety violations, and issues with permits and resale that cost significantly more to fix after the fact. We include all required steps in the initial scope.
Yes. Multi Construction Co. is fully licensed and insured to perform renovation work across all five New York City boroughs, including Staten Island. We carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage on all projects.
