Why Renovations in Brooklyn Heights Require Expertise

As a premier New York general contractor and construction management company, we specialize in transforming Brooklyn Heights homes, blending their 19th-century architectural legacy with contemporary elegance. From custom kitchen renovations to full interior gut remodels, our team navigates the strict guidelines of the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) and co-op boards to create spaces that honor history while embracing modern comfort.

A Brooklyn Heights renovation involves updating or reimagining homes in this historic Brooklyn neighborhood while adhering to LPC guidelines and, often, co-op or condo board approvals.

AGNY Services specializes in preserving iconic elements—such as original crown molding or pocket doors—while integrating modern amenities like high-end tiles or energy-efficient HVAC systems. With over 40% of Brooklyn Heights homes built before 1900, renovations often uncover unique challenges, like aging electrical systems, which our skilled team addresses with precision.
