General Remodeling

As a property manager overseeing white-glove residential buildings in the Lincoln Center area, the shareholders and unit owners I represent hold exceptionally high expectations when it comes to the service and quality of work performed in their homes. I’ve been recommending Ilya and Nina to my clients for many years, and the feedback has been consistently outstanding. They are a remarkable husband-and-wife team—professional, responsive, and truly committed to excellence. Their attention to detail and proactive communication set them apart, and they approach every challenge with thoughtful, creative solutions. Throughout each project, they kept building management informed and involved, ensuring a smooth, transparent process from start to finish. Their projects not only remain fully compliant and on schedule, but the final results are always beautifully executed. It’s rare to find contractors who combine such skill, integrity, and professionalism. I highly recommend Ilya and Nina to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality workmanship with a personal touch.

Amazing experience from start to finish. The I&N crew was professional, Ilya and Nina always kept me informed, and delivered exactly what I asked for. If you’re looking for a reliable remodeling team in NYC, this is it. Highly reccomend I & N Builders!

This a serious professional outfit. Their work is of the highest quality and they complete it in the tine frame they estimated at the beginning of the project. Who does that??? I would not hesitate to hire them again and look forward to doing so.

We found I&N through a recommendation from a friend and are so glad we hired them! They completed a full renovation for our condo including a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, full flooring, lighting, doors/walls/baseboards and minor layout adjustments. They check off all the boxes when looking for a contractor: (1) Communicative (2) Fair (3) Skilled (4) Lots of experience (5) Super nice! (6) Flexible (7) On time and stuck to the budget (!!) (8) Able to pivot, troubleshoot and deal with Condo Boards, NYC DOB and anything unexpected. They were so communicative - I knew they would never ghost us (which is always a worry on a big project). They helped us make design decisions, offered recommendations, but let us do our thing. They also returned to fix any outstanding issues even after the project was technically complete. Definitely will call them for all future projects. We love our 'new' place!

Ilya & Nina are not just kind and always reachable, but they work hard to make the renovation easier on you. They are great problem solvers, and help make sure details are well thought out. We are so pleased with our renovated condo!

I&N Builders beautifully renovated our apartment. We have a prewar apartment and we wanted to keep the character while modernizing the layout and function. I&N totally succeeded. We moved walls and replaced most surfaces, but it does not look like a soulless box, nor does it have any of the weird compromises you sometimes see in the renovations of old apartments. I&N found a great solution for every problem we encountered. Now I walk in and am delighted instead of dejected. Love it!
