Editorial Review

Our Take on Renaissance General Contracting

Renaissance has the largest review base here and keeps seven-day hours, which counts for a lot. It is a general contractor first, so confirm that a remodeling crew, not a masonry or roofing crew, will staff your job.

    They did the impossible with installing a new bidet and adding more square footage to the bathroom without taking too much space across the living room, Renaissance is a pure genius contracting service!

  • Diame Ba5.0

    I had a great experience with Renaissance. They arrived on time, repaired a few broken kitchen cabinets, and fixed a leak. After completing the repairs, they painted the entire space a light forest green, and they got the color exactly right. The paint job was professional, and they cleaned up thoroughly when they finished. I’m very happy with the results and would highly recommend them!

    Charbel was super nice. He went above and beyond to make sure we will get the service we needed for the renovation. Formed a brand new room for us for our newborn. Painted and installed a window. The combination of excellence, professionalism, customer service and how they performed is to be praised for good work.

Company Background

About Renaissance General Contracting

Three hundred Google reviews at 5.0 is a number that stands out in any trade, and it is what Renaissance General Contracting brings to this list. The rating is as of October 30, 2026. The office is at 117 Smith Street in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, and Google lists it as open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week.

Renaissance General Contracting describes itself as licensed and insured and says it has more than 25 years of experience. It does residential and commercial work. The services on its website cover kitchen and bathroom remodeling, full-home renovations and home additions, together with stucco and masonry, roofing, decks, and office and restaurant build-outs. That breadth is the reason it sits lower in our order than the specialists: remodeling is one line of work among many, and a general contractor with commercial jobs may juggle crews across them.

The reviews help balance that. Customers name Charbel, Alan, and Julian, and the sheer volume lets you read for patterns rather than single stories. Read the three-star and four-star comments in particular, since they tend to describe schedule slips and communication gaps more candidly than the five-star ones.

The website does not state a licence number or a warranty length. Treat both as questions for the first meeting.

Who it suits: Brooklyn owners with larger projects that cross trades, such as a kitchen plus a rear addition or new masonry and a deck, who want one contract and a team that works weekends.

Who it suits less well: owners wanting a design showroom, or a small cosmetic bathroom refresh where a specialist may be a better match.

What to ask before booking: request the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection home improvement contractor licence number and verify it on the city's search. Ask who files Department of Buildings permits and request the warranty terms in writing.
