General Contractor in Queens, NY
A full-service general contractor based right here in Queens. From two-family homes in Astoria to pre-war apartment buildings and commercial spaces across the borough, we handle restoration, renovation, and compliance work – licensed, insured, and registered with the NYC Department of Buildings, with 20+ years on New York projects.
A general contractor that’s actually based in Queens
Queens is the largest and most varied borough in the city, and its buildings show it. The building stock runs from one- and two-family homes and row houses, through pre-war apartment buildings and garden complexes, to the warehouses and industrial blocks of Long Island City and Maspeth. Few contractors are equally comfortable across that whole range – and fewer still are actually based in the borough they claim to serve.
MC Construction is. Our office and yard are in Maspeth, so we’re a local contractor, not a crew crossing bridges to reach your block. As your general contractor, we own the entire project: planning the scope, bringing the right trades together, running the schedule and the site, and handling the Department of Buildings paperwork from the first filing to the final sign-off. Exterior restoration, structural and masonry repairs, waterproofing, roofing, and full interior renovations are all coordinated by one team instead of a patchwork of subcontractors.
We work with the full range of Queens property owners – homeowners improving a single house, co-op and condo boards planning capital work, property managers overseeing whole portfolios, and developers taking a building from plans to occupancy. Every one of them gets the same thing: transparent, itemized estimates, code-compliant work, and one accountable team that knows the borough it’s building in.
The Queens buildings we know best
Two decades across the borough means we’ve seen how each kind of building behaves – and where it tends to fail.
What we handle in Queens
A complete general-contracting offering. Follow any service for full details.
Exterior repair, cleaning, and restoration that keeps your building safe, compliant, and looking its best.
Brick, block, and stone repairs – including repointing and rebuilds – matched to the building in front of us.
Weatherproofing, coatings, and roof systems that stand up to New York’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain.

Interior and exterior renovation of Queens homes and buildings, from single rooms to full gut jobs.
Vertical and horizontal additions that add usable space while meeting DOB and zoning requirements.

Ground-up builds and full project management – permits, scheduling, and trades coordinated end to end.
We keep Queens projects on the right side of the NYC DOB
In New York, the difference between a smooth project and an expensive one is usually paperwork. Missed filings, expired permits, and unaddressed facade findings become violations, stop-work orders, and penalties that cost far more than the original repair. As your general contractor, we take that off your plate.
We handle the required Department of Buildings permits and filings, coordinate the inspections your project needs, and keep the documentation in order throughout the job. For buildings on a FISP cycle, we line the repair work up with your filing deadlines, so a facade report becomes a finished, compliant building instead of an open item hanging over the next inspection. Everything is done to code, and everything is documented — so when the city asks, the answer is already on file.
A local team that knows how Queens builds
Being based in Maspeth isn’t a marketing line for us – it’s the reason our crews get to your site quickly, know the borough’s neighborhoods and building types, and understand how the DOB and FISP timelines actually play out here. That experience shows up as fewer surprises, cleaner filings, and work that holds up years after the scaffold comes down.

Neighborhoods we serve across Queens
From Astoria, Sunnyside, and Woodside in the west, out to Flushing, Bayside, and Jamaica in the east, and down through Ridgewood, Middle Village, and Maspeth where we’re headquartered, we work the whole borough. Older homes, pre-war apartment buildings, and newer construction each call for a slightly different approach, and we adjust the plan to the neighborhood and the building in front of us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hiring a General Contractor in Queens
How much does a general contractor cost in Queens?
It depends entirely on the scope – a single-room renovation and a full facade restoration are very different jobs, and factors like building access, permitting, and the current condition of the structure all move the number. Rather than quote a flat rate, we do a free on-site inspection and give you an itemized estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Are you really based in Queens?
Yes – our office and yard are in Maspeth, Queens. That means shorter travel times to your site, real familiarity with the borough’s neighborhoods and building types, and a contractor you can actually reach locally.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Queens?
Yes. MC Construction is fully licensed, insured, and registered with the NYC Department of Buildings, and our sites are OSHA-compliant. We can provide documentation before work begins.
Do you handle DOB permits and filings?
We do. We manage the required NYC DOB permits and filings as part of the project so the work stays compliant from start to finish.
Do you do Local Law 11 / FISP work in Queens?
Yes – facade inspections, filings, and the repairs that follow are a core part of what we do. If you want the background first, our guide to the NYC Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) explains how the cycles work.
Do you work on both homes and larger buildings?
We do. Queens has everything from one- and two-family homes to pre-war apartment buildings and commercial properties, and we work across all of them – as a full-service general contractor handling both interior and exterior work.
How long does a typical Queens project take?
Timelines vary with scope, permitting, and building access. A focused repair can be a matter of weeks, while a full renovation or restoration runs longer. We give you a realistic schedule with your estimate and keep you updated as the work progresses.
Will I have a single point of contact?
Yes. One team manages your project from the first inspection to the final walkthrough, so you always know who to call and nothing gets lost between trades.
