Company Background
About Melani General Contractor
Park Slope apartment owners know the routine: the renovation is approved by the co-op board before it is approved by anyone else. Melani General Contractor builds its pitch around that fact. The company is headquartered at 343 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, says it has more than 22 years of experience, and advertises co-op and condo board coordination along with Department of Buildings permits.
Melani General Contractor lists NYC licence #2113624-DCA on its website, along with EPA Lead-Safe certification and full insurance. The lead-safe certificate matters in a borough full of pre-1978 buildings, because federal rules require certified firms for most work that disturbs old paint. Verify the licence number on the city's lookup before you sign anything; the website prefix "DCA" refers to the Department of Consumer Affairs, which is now the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.
Google shows 5.0 from 107 reviews as of October 30, 2026. Reviewers name the owner, Mike, which suggests he is on site or on the phone during jobs. The services listed include kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling and full-apartment renovations.
Two practical details are worth checking. Google lists the business as open 24 hours a day, which is unusual for a contractor and best read as an always-reachable phone line rather than a staffed showroom. The phone number on Google also differs from the one printed on the company's own website, so confirm which one reaches the office.
Who it suits: Brooklyn co-op and condo owners and brownstone buyers who want a contractor comfortable with board packages and permits.
Who it suits less well: owners outside Brooklyn and Manhattan, or anyone wanting a design showroom with product displays.
What to ask before booking: ask for the licence certificate, the insurance certificate and the lead-safe certificate, and ask who files your Department of Buildings permits.

Melani General Contractor FAQs
What licence does Melani General Contractor hold?
The company's website lists NYC licence #2113624-DCA and says it is EPA Lead-Safe Certified and fully insured. Search the number on the city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection licence lookup, and ask for the insurance and lead-safe certificates. Confirm who files your Department of Buildings permits.
Is Melani General Contractor open 24 hours?
Google lists the business as open 24 hours every day, but the company does not advertise emergency service, so treat that as an always-open phone line rather than a staffed office. Call to book a consultation and ask about site visit times. The phone number on Google differs from the one on the company's website, so confirm which one to use.
Does Melani General Contractor help with co-op and condo board approvals?
Yes, the company advertises co-op and condo board coordination and Department of Buildings permits. Ask what documents it prepares for your board and whether permit fees are in the quote. It is based in Park Slope and works across New York City. Warranty and financing terms are not published, so request them in writing.
