Looking for help/recs for Gut-Renovation for small Carroll Garden apt

Hey there, I’m new to Brownstoner and looking for help/recommendations for General Contractors with some creative design ideas for gut renovation in Carroll Gardens. We are closing on the property mid-month. The project will entail full kitchen renovation. We will need to re-route plumbing/electrical. Also need help in creating a functional bathroom that is approx. 6 x 5.9\. Issues include steam pipes that prevent a tub from fitting in the current space and desire to create an entrance to the bathroom other than from the bedroom (apartment is a railroad). We also plan to redo all hardwood floors and update all electrical throughout. We ‘d appreciate any views on hiring an architect vs. contractor with vision. We did a previous remodel where we sourced all of our own materials but this is more extensive. Any thoughts?

As a general contractor, I would recommend hiring a interior designer before a architect or contractor. The work does not sound major at first blush so make sure the house fits your lifestyle. Make sure the house fits how you want to live…Then hire a contractor to make it happen.. Hopefully, you hire me. CRJ Home Improvement Joe Lewis joelewis@crjhome.com 347-715-5956

Hi, I’m an interior designer and have some great contractors that I work with.. you didn’t mention a designer, but I really believe having one saves money and brings so many things to kitchen design that usually aren’t thought about. Jane Rosenbaum www.janeinteriorsnyc.com
