🌤️ Climate Considerations

Manhattan's humid summers and freezing winters take a toll on building exteriors. Contractors should use moisture-resistant materials for bathrooms and kitchens, especially in pre-war buildings. Winter renovations may face delays for exterior work due to freezing temperatures, so schedule roofing and siding projects between April and November.

💡 Local Tip

Manhattan renovations require coordination with co-op or condo boards, which can add weeks of approval time. Always confirm your building's alteration agreement and ensure your contractor has experience working in managed buildings. Alteration fees charged by co-op boards can range from $500 to $5,000 on top of renovation costs.
