Home Renovations on the Upper West Side
From pre-war apartments and landmark-era buildings to brownstones, townhouses, and contemporary residences, the Upper West Side offers homes with remarkable character. Stanton brings thoughtful planning, skilled craftsmanship, and hands-on project management to renovations throughout the neighborhood.
Renovating Homes on the Upper West Side
Upper West Side homes are often defined by details that have been part of them for generations. Wood floors, moldings, plasterwork, millwork, and distinctive room proportions can give a residence its character, while older kitchens, bathrooms, storage, and layouts may no longer suit the way you want to live.
Stanton Construction approaches Upper West Side renovations with respect for both sides of that equation. We can preserve and work around elements that belong in the home while coordinating the new construction, finishes, and custom details needed to make the space more functional and personal.
For apartment renovations, the work also needs to account for the building itself. Co-op and condo requirements, alteration agreements, access, deliveries, work hours, and protection of common areas all become part of the construction process. We plan for those details alongside the renovation so the project can move forward in an organized way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stanton handles everything from kitchen and bathroom renovations to apartment, co-op, condo, brownstone, townhouse, and full-home renovations. We also provide custom millwork, flooring, painting and plaster, new construction, and ongoing home maintenance. The scope can focus on a particular part of your home or involve a more complete transformation.
Yes. A full apartment renovation can address the home as a whole, including its layout, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, millwork, storage, painting, plaster, and other finishes. Taking a whole-home approach also allows decisions between rooms to be coordinated so the finished apartment feels cohesive rather than renovated one space at a time.
Yes. Stanton works in both co-op and condo buildings and understands that these renovations need to account for requirements beyond the apartment itself. Depending on the building, that can include alteration agreements, insurance requirements, approved work hours, freight elevator scheduling, deliveries, and protection of hallways and other common areas.
Yes. Original flooring, moldings, plasterwork, doors, millwork, and other architectural elements can often be incorporated into the renovation when their condition and the project allow. We look at what contributes to the home's character and how those details can work alongside updated kitchens, bathrooms, layouts, and finishes.
Yes. Stanton provides kitchen and bathroom renovations throughout the Upper West Side, either independently or as part of a larger apartment or home renovation. We coordinate the construction details and trades involved, including cabinetry and millwork, stone, tile, fixtures, plumbing, electrical work, lighting, flooring, and finishes.
Potentially. The possibilities depend on the existing layout, structural conditions, plumbing and building systems, and any requirements established by the building. We review those considerations as part of planning so proposed changes are evaluated within the realities of the apartment rather than solely on how they look on a floor plan.
Yes. We can work alongside your architect, interior designer, engineers, and other project professionals throughout the renovation. Our role is to coordinate and execute the construction while maintaining the intent behind the plans and design.
It's helpful to involve us early enough to understand the residence, intended scope, building requirements, and construction considerations before work begins. If you've already hired an architect or interior designer, we can also become involved once the design and planning process is underway.
