Renovation in Brooklyn Heights

Brooklyn Heights was New York City's first designated historic district, and its brownstones, carriage houses and pre-war co-op buildings remain some of the most distinctive homes in the city. Renovating here requires respect for history, experience with landmarks rules and the ability to work within strict co-op buildings.

Dacaj Construction is a family-owned, licensed and insured general contractor that has renovated homes in New York City since 2006.

Working Within the Historic District

Because Brooklyn Heights is a landmarked historic district, exterior changes such as windows, doors, facades, stoops and rear additions generally require Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. Your architect prepares the application, and we coordinate construction so the work matches what was approved.

Co-op Renovations in Brooklyn Heights

Many Brooklyn Heights co-ops have detailed alteration agreements, strict insurance requirements and limited work hours. Some enforce wet over dry rules or restrict summer work. We prepare every contractor document your board requires and plan the schedule around your building's rules.

We work throughout Brooklyn Heights and nearby DUMBO, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill and Park Slope.
