    Mike and his team did an amazing job renovating my outdated 2-bedroom co-op in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. They completed a full gut renovation of the kitchen and bathroom, sanded and refinished the hardwood floors, installed new moulding, and painted the entire apartment. They assisted with the management approval process, coordinated with us during every phase of the project, and provided helpful recommendations along the way. They transformed the space into a comfortable modern home, and I would highly recommend them.

    Excellent work on my bathroom renovation in a pre-war co-op building in the Bay Ridge area. I highly recommend Mike and his team if anyone is looking for a renovation in an older building in the NYC area. They are very fair on the price and are highly experienced in working in older apartment buildings.<br><br>My project included multiple challenges as it was a full gut renovation of a small and outdated bathroom. Mike’s team navigated the communication and rules of my building perfectly and the super was happy with their work the entire time. The team took extra precautions in my apartment to keep dust and debris to a minimum during the demolition and renovation process. The team is very reliable, especially if your project involves dealing with building rules too.<br><br>The tile work is high quality and laid with care. They took extra precautions to ensure that the walls and floors were as level as possible in a pre-war apartment. It is a small bathroom, so they also had to navigate the challenge of working in that small space as well. They reframed walls and ran the water lines to the new locations. The project involved converting the tub to a shower, and they did an excellent job pitching the drain and ensuring that the valve and faucet were in the right place.<br><br>While I mostly communicated with Jimmy and Gus, they were very knowledgable and help guide me through the various stages of the renovation. They made sure that electrical work and other necessary arrangements were made so that they could install the modern fixtures I chose, such as the bidet toilet, towel warmer and light up vanity mirror. They were very helpful with suggesting wall storage options and ensuring that finishes matched aesthetically.<br><br>I highly recommend Melani General Contractor for any renovation project, especially in an older apartment building where experience matters. There are always unexpected challenges in these types of living spaces and Mike’s team is highly capable of handling these situations.

    Melani Contracting Inc. did a great job reflooring and repainting our one bedroom condo in Brooklyn. Jimmy and his crew installed new engineered hardwood and it looks beautiful. They paid extra attention to detail and were very thorough. For example the crew took out the stove and the refrigerator first and installed the flooring underneath so that these could be removed in the future if need be, which I did not even contemplate. I was impressed with the paint job too. There were no uneven sections of paint or smearing along the edges, nothing like that at all. They took their time and did the whole job right from beginning to end. I was impressed with the quality of Melani Contracting Inc.'s work and would definitely use them again.

    I'm very happy with their work and truly appreciate the kind of people they are. They are honest, trustworthy, and hardworking, and they treat people with respect. It’s not always easy to find contractors you can feel comfortable trusting, but these are good people who genuinely care about doing a good job. I appreciate their honesty and the way they do business, and I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for good, reliable contractors. They have earned my respect and trust!

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.

  • Is Melani General Contractor licensed and insured?

    We checked 0 of 9 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.

  • What areas does Melani General Contractor serve?

    New York, Newark, East Orange, Bloomfield, Jersey City, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx, Upper West Side, Tribeca, Upper East Side, SoHo, North Bergen, Belleville, Hoboken, Union City, New York, Weehawken Township, Kearny, Brooklyn, Irvington, Brooklyn Heights, East Newark. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does Melani General Contractor offer emergency service?

    Yes, the company lists emergency availability. Response time depends on demand, and after a storm every company in the market is stretched.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.

  • How was this profile built?

    Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?

    A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
