Renovating a home or apartment in New York City is exciting — but it’s also complex. From permit requirements to building management approvals, a successful renovation starts with proper planning.

At EvolveX NY, we specialize in full interior remodeling across NYC — including kitchens, bathrooms, and entire apartments. Before starting, here are 5 things you need to consider:

1. Permits and DOB ApprovalNYC requires permits for most structural and plumbing work. We guide clients through the process, including hiring architects when needed.

2. Co-op & Condo BoardsMany NYC apartments are in co-ops or condos. These boards require applications, insurance, and detailed plans. We handle all communication to keep your project moving.

3. Working Hours & RestrictionsMost buildings limit noisy work to weekdays between 9am–5pm. We create realistic schedules around those limits.

4. Budgeting RealisticallyNYC renovations are expensive. Full apartment renovations usually range from $250–$500 per square foot depending on finish level.

5. Choosing the Right ContractorLook for licensed, insured professionals with NYC experience — like EvolveX NY. We handle everything from design to final inspection.
