Luxury Apartment Renovation, Chelsea, NYC
Who we are
Founding vision
Chapter emerged from the shared vision of its founders, who both hail from extensive backgrounds in real estate development and construction. Through their firsthand experiences with the renovation process across various locations, they encountered the common pain points faced by clients. Recognizing the inefficiencies and communication breakdowns, they envisioned a more streamlined and client-centric approach.
The creation of Chapter
Our vision led to the creation of Chapter—a design-build company that revolutionizes the way renovations are conducted. By consolidating all stakeholders into a single entity, Chapter seamlessly manages the renovation journey from conception to execution. This integrated model eliminates miscommunication and enhances efficiency.
Our story began in NYC
Our roots are in one of the hardest-to-renovate-in cities in the nation. A place where pre-construction planning is king, and you’re only destined for success when you know the barriers you’re planning to avoid. After establishing ourselves as a leading renovation company in NYC, we are now expanding our proven renovation approach to other cities across the nation.
Innovation and transparency
Our curated, innovative technology solutions—designed with the client in mind—mark a significant leap forward in making the renovation process as smooth and stress-free as possible. With a customized client portal updating all essential project information, this technology ensures transparency throughout the entire renovation process.
