Every Trade, One Team
Durabilt GC is a family-owned general contractor in Staten Island, NY. Since 1995, we have provided home renovation services to homeowners in Staten Island and Brooklyn.
Many homes in Staten Island are decades old. So renovating them brings back their character while meeting modern safety and efficiency standards, but it requires careful work around older layouts, materials, and construction details. That takes a contractor who knows older homes, and we have been working on them for years.
Our experience with these properties helps us plan updates that respect the character of the home. As a licensed and registered contractor, we manage the work from design to the final walkthrough, so you only deal with one team.
Every home needs a different kind of renovation. Some need updates inside, while others need work outside. As a renovation company, we do both, whatever the size of the job. Here is what we can do for your home:
We renovate kitchens of every size, from new cabinets and countertops to a full rebuild. If the layout does not work for you, we can change it too. Each kitchen is planned around the available space, your storage needs, and how you use the room every day.
See more →Our bathroom renovation services include new showers, updated fixtures, tile, flooring, vanities, and other finishes. We remove what is worn or outdated and install replacements in its place. You end up with a bathroom that looks fresh and feels comfortable.
See more →If your basement is unfinished or not being used well, we can remodel it into a family room, home office, gym, or other usable space. Before the new walls and flooring go in, we check for moisture issues that could affect the finished area.
See more →We build decks with a strong frame and properly placed footings to support the structure. Once the base is ready, we install the decking, railings, stairs, and other details based on the layout of your yard. That gives your family a new place to eat, relax, and spend time outside.
See more →For patios and walkways, we install pavers in the pattern you choose. Before installation, we prepare the base carefully and plan the surface so water can drain away properly. That keeps the area usable after a storm.
See more →If only a few sections are damaged, we repair them and match the new pieces to your existing siding. If the damage is more widespread or you want to update the look of the home, we can install new siding. Either way, your walls are better protected from rain, wind, and sun.
See more →We install new stucco on exterior walls and repair areas that are cracked, chipped, or damaged. Weather and normal movement cause stucco to crack over time, so catching problems early keeps them from spreading.
See more →A renovation can take weeks, with a crew working in your home the whole time. So you want a home improvement contractor that you can trust. Over the years, we have earned that trust from Staten Island homeowners through good work. Here is why they keep choosing us:
With more than 30 years of renovation experience, our team has worked with many common problems found in older homes, including rotted wood, outdated plumbing, and worn building materials. That experience helps us recognize potential issues when walls, floors, or other areas are opened during the renovation.
We are licensed by the NYC Department of Consumer & Worker Protection for home improvement work and registered with the NYC Department of Buildings for applicable construction work. You can look up both on the city’s websites before you hire us.
Our crew is covered by general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. These policies provide protection for certain property damage, accidents, or worker injuries that may occur during a renovation project.
Say a tile comes loose because of our installation. Under our workmanship warranty, we fix it at no cost to you. The warranty covers qualifying issues related to our labor or installation, according to the warranty terms.
Every estimate we give is free and itemized, so each part of the job has its own cost. That lets you see where the money goes and ask about any line before work begins. You can also compare it with other quotes before you decide.
Working with us means you’ll be working with a local renovation contractor near you, since our office is at 47 Madison Avenue in Staten Island. So, if you have a question during your project, you can call us or visit the office.
We take on home improvement projects across Staten Island, from the North Shore to the South Shore. Whichever side of the island you live on, we can come to you. Here is where we work:
Our work is not limited to Staten Island. We also take on property renovation projects in Brooklyn, just across the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. These are the Brooklyn neighborhoods we serve:
Single projects start around $15,000 for a basic basement finish and reach $70,000 or more for a full kitchen remodel. A complete property renovation in Staten Island often costs from $150,000 to $500,000 or more. The final price depends on the size of the space, the materials, and the work involved. For an exact number for your home, we give a free itemized estimate.
Renovation updates a space while keeping its layout, but remodeling changes the layout or structure. For example, replacing old cabinets may be part of a renovation, while moving a wall to change the kitchen layout is typically considered remodeling. Please tell us what you want changed, and we will plan the work.
Some of the best home upgrade ideas for older homes are updating the kitchen, renovating the bathroom, finishing the basement, and refreshing the exterior with new siding or stucco. These are the areas where older homes usually show their age the most. A deck or a paver patio is also a good idea if you want more usable space outside. If you are not sure where to start, we can look at your home and suggest what to do first.
A step-by-step home renovation checklist includes:
Keeping the steps in that order will help you avoid surprises and delays.
Start by checking that the contractor holds a Home Improvement Contractor license from the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, which you can look up on the city’s website. Then read recent Google reviews and ask for itemized estimates from two or three contractors so you can compare. If you live in Staten Island or Brooklyn, we are happy to give you one of those estimates.
It depends on the work. In New York City, projects that change the structure, plumbing, electrical systems, or layout of a home usually need a permit from the Department of Buildings, while simple updates like painting or new flooring usually do not.
The timeline depends on the size and scope of the project. A smaller room renovation may take a few weeks, while a larger project involving several rooms or major construction can take several months.
A small project such as a bathroom can take a few weeks, while a whole house remodeling can take several months. The timeline depends on the size of the work, the materials you choose, and permit approvals. Once we review your plans, we can give you a realistic timeline for your home.
Often yes, if the work is limited to one area, such as a bathroom or basement. For larger renovations that affect the kitchen, bathrooms, plumbing, or power at the same time, it may be better to stay somewhere else. We discuss these details with you before the work begins.
