FAQ

Common questions.

Yes, any plumbing or electrical work in NYC requires DOB permits. Lintel NY files all permits as part of the project scope. The permit cost is included in your estimate.

It is an educational planning range, not a contract price. Final cost depends on layout changes, finishes, existing conditions, access, and building rules. An on-site consultation produces a precise written estimate.

Often yes. Approval procedures, delivery windows, and building-protection requirements can add time before work begins. We account for this in your project timeline.
