Real NYC projects. Real lessons learned.
🔧 What You’ll Find Here — Soon
We’re building a growing collection of real-world renovation stories from homeowners, landlords, contractors, and designers across New York City.
These case studies will showcase:
- ✅ Project challenges and how they were overcome
- 💵 Realistic budgets and cost breakdowns
- 🧰 Before & after transformations
- 🏙️ Unique NYC-specific issues (permits, co-ops, violations, space limitations)
- 💬 Lessons and advice directly from the people who lived it

📌 Why We’re Doing This
Renovation in New York isn’t like anywhere else.
Every building has its quirks. Every permit has its price. And every story has something to teach.
These case studies will help future renovators learn from real people, not just theory.
🔜 Coming Soon
We’re currently gathering submissions and will be publishing our first case studies in Fall 2025.
Check back soon or subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to read them.
