Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with R&F General Contract Corp.
How much does a home renovation cost in NYC?
Costs vary widely by scope. A bathroom refresh starts around $5,000, while a full kitchen remodel typically runs $25,000–$75,000+. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises.
Do I need a permit for my renovation?
In NYC, permits are required for electrical work, plumbing changes, structural modifications, and gas work. Cosmetic updates like painting and flooring usually don't need permits. We handle all permit applications as part of our service.

A bathroom remodel takes 2–4 weeks, a kitchen remodel 4–8 weeks, and a full interior renovation 8–16 weeks depending on scope. We provide a detailed timeline in every proposal and keep you updated throughout.
