Stages of a Gut Renovation for a NYC Townhouse

What are the different stages of a gut renovation for a NYC townhouse? People usually opt for gut renovation when giving their home’s interior a new look. This process may be long, but with the right team, you’ll get the results you’re looking for.

Gut Renovation for a NYC Townhouse

Gut renovation essentially means stripping down your entire house and rebuilding from scratch. This is more complex than your standard renovating procedure. Hence, you will need skilled and efficient contractors who finish up by the deadline and work with finesse. It can be a lengthy procedure, so keep in mind that it may disrupt your routine. This is why it goes through different stages to complete.

As the name indicates, reaching the gut point of the house allows you to rebuild the townhouse from ground zero according to your liking. When you save up for a large-scale renovation such as this, you should hire the best contractors to get the job done. This is a lengthy and complicated process that needs the best team available. Here are the stages:

Strip Down / Demolition

This stage is crucial, seeing as how you can’t move on with renovation without it. Stripping down the house means removing interior attachments, units, windows, etc. The demolition of your walls allows the contractor to rebuild according to your liking.

Examination

Before rebuilding begins, the contractor and their team will survey and examine the area to see if any issues may present a problem in the rebuilding process. This is to ensure that the procedure goes smoothly.

Assessment

In this stage, you decide on the kind of design you’re looking for. To do this, you have to involve an architectural firm. If you have decided to hire an architect, the contractor will go through their planning, communicate with you, and make sure to see it through. They will put up the framework, if that’s needed, and conduct a final survey of the area.

Plumbing and Electric Setup

These are highly important steps that can’t be neglected. After building the framework, the contractor will fix the units, wiring, and electrical outlets that need repairing. Then, they will ensure that the plumbing works fine. For this, they will hire a plumber or electrician as needed. Moreover, they will install any other plumbing lines, fixtures, and electric service.

Installation

Once the plumbing and electric setup are complete, they install different units and fixtures. These installations also include millwork products that are a staple in every household, such as cabinets, ceilings, stairs, closets, entertainment centers, etc.

Final Touches

This is the last step in the gut renovation process, strategically speaking. In this stage, contractors take care of painting, molding, and trimming. They will follow the instructions provided to them with regards to color and what type of designs they should opt for. Once they make the final touches, a good firm will clean up after themselves and tidy up the area for the client.

Inspection

This is a quick step that the contractor performs to ensure that they provide the best services. They conduct an inspection after completing the installation process and making final touches. Usually, it’s precautionary, but it helps them see if they missed anything. Some construction firms overlook this step, but Brener Construction Inc. doesn’t. The firm’s skilled professionals inspect the area and consult with the client to make sure it’s according to their requirements.

I highly recommend Brener Construction. Hiring Amos and his team was a fantastic decision when remodeling my apartment after it got flooded and would not hesitate to hire them again. First, Amos responded very quickly and came to the apartment the same day I called him. He sent me a very reasonable project proposal a few days later and he was open to discussing it and adjusting it based on my needs. As my first time remodeling and apartment, Amos was good at explaining everything related to my concerns and happy and flexible to come up with solutions that would fit what I was looking for. Second, when the work finally started at the apartment, Amos maintained excellent communication with me. Since I don’t live in NY this was crucial for me. He called and sent me pictures and videos every day and consulted every major decision with me before doing anything to make sure I agreed. At the same time, he was good at recommending solutions when I needed his advice. Since I didn’t have any remodeling experience before this project but definitely wanted to stay involved along the process, I didn’t always know what was best and Amos was great at helping me decide. Third, the quality of the work was amazing. I was very surprised at how fast they finished the work and extremely happy with the quality of the results. My apartment looks stunning, even better than before the flood, and it’s thanks to Amos and his team from Brener Construction. Finally, after the remodeling was done, I noticed a few little details that I wanted to change or fix, and Amos immediately agreed to fix them so that I would be 100% satisfied with the results. Working with Amos was the best decision! It made a project that could have been very stressful a pleasant and even fun experience and I love the way my apartment looks! If I needed to remodel my apartment again, I wouldn’t call anyone else.

We have been so pleased with our experience working with Brener Construction on the replacement of a roof deck on our rental apartment. Besides doing a wonderful job, they were patient when the board approval process was lengthy and helpful when it required communicating with a handful of different people. Our tenants were very happy at how responsible and clean they were. And as we were not available to be onsite Amos updated us frequently with pictures and details and was always easy to reach if we had questions. Great job and good people! We would definitely recommend them. Rachel B. NY,NY

Brener Construction recently completed a job for Instituto Cervantes, the Spanish cultural center in NY. Their meticulous work ethic and attention to detail is clearly represented in the final product of their work. Their team is accommodating, reliable and easy to work with. The Institute remained open, operational and clean during the construction, which was a key factor for us. Brener Construction delivered high quality work in a fast turnaround time.

Amos and his crew are amazing. I worked with them on a new design show for Bravo. Not only did they save the day on more than one occasion, but they are a great crew to have around. Always on time, always cleaned up after themselves and always got the job done on time. I've worked with a lot of contractors and Brener Construction is on the top of my list!!!

They did a great job. There were a few minor bumps along the way but they were prompt to make them right. Wall paper, painting and building a new closet in 7 days before our new baby arrived. Highly recommended.
