Renovating Manhattan: Modern Luxury Inside Historic Walls

Manhattan is known for its pre-war charm — high ceilings, ornate moldings, and aging infrastructure. But behind the beauty often lies outdated electricals, plumbing, and hazardous materials.

FH Builders recently helped a young couple in the Upper West Side renovate a 1920s co-op. Their unit suffered from flickering lights, outdated electrical panels, and no central air. Our licensed team upgraded their full electrical system to 2025 code, reinforced wall insulation, and installed ductless HVAC — all while preserving original molding and staying within board restrictions.

Our expertise in navigating co-op boards, DOB permitting, and union buildings makes us the go-to general contractor in Manhattan. Whether you’re remodeling a Central Park brownstone or upgrading a Chelsea loft, FH Builders delivers white-glove service from consultation to completion.
