General Contractor in NYC — Queens, Brooklyn & the Bronx

Single and multi-family homes built ground-up, vertical and rear additions, dormers, and full gut renovations. Permitting, foundation, framing, finish — one office, one schedule, one accountable crew.

JBS Builder Inc. is a licensed general contractor based in Richmond Hill, Queens, building and renovating homes across NYC since 2015. Because the company self-performs concrete and runs its own roll-off fleet, foundations, structural work, and debris hauling stay in-house — the three highest-friction parts of any build handled by one office.

Scope

What we build.

New construction

Single and multi-family homes ground-up: filing, foundation, framing, mechanicals, finish.

Additions & extensions

Add a story, extend the back, raise a dormer — engineered, filed, and built without losing the soul of the house.

Gut renovations & home renovation

Walls opened, layouts re-imagined, new mechanicals. Kitchens, baths, basements, whole homes.

Every JBS build starts at the ground: our own concrete crew pours the foundation, our own containers haul the debris, and the GC office runs the schedule. That vertical setup is why our timelines hold.

Demolition & excavation

We take it down and dig it out.

Every build starts with the dirty half: concrete demolition, driveway and sidewalk removal, interior and gut-renovation demolition, garage and shed demolition, pool removal and fill-in, plus excavation, trenching, and grading for foundations and additions. Because the containers are ours, demo debris rolls off site the same day it hits the box — no third-party hauler to wait on.

FAQ

Contracting questions

Do you handle permits and DOB filings?

Yes. New builds, additions, and structural renovations are filed with the DOB by our office with our architect and engineer partners. You get one point of contact from filing through sign-off.

Can you add a second story or rear extension to my house?

Yes — vertical additions, rear extensions, and dormers are core JBS work, subject to your lot's zoning (FAR, setbacks). We check feasibility during the free estimate before you spend anything on drawings.

What's the advantage of a contractor with its own concrete crew?

The foundation is the highest-risk phase of any addition or new build. Because JBS self-performs concrete, the foundation, underpinning, and flatwork aren't subbed out — schedule, quality, and price stay under one roof, and our own containers handle the debris.

How do you price a renovation?

Itemized, in writing, after a site visit and a real conversation about finishes. Allowances are stated explicitly so you can see exactly what's included — the number moves only if the scope moves.

Do you work occupied homes?

Yes, most renovations happen around a living household. We sequence rooms, seal off work areas, and run debris straight to our own container so the disruption window stays short.

How much does a gut renovation cost in NYC?

It depends on the size of the home, the scope (layout changes, kitchens and baths, structural work), the finishes and the DOB permits involved, so JBS does not publish set prices. After a site visit we give an itemized written estimate, typically within 48 hours, so you can compare line by line.

Do you work as a general contractor in Brooklyn and the Bronx?

Yes. JBS Builder Inc. is a licensed general contractor and home renovation contractor across NYC — Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island — from its base at 91-01 120th Street, Richmond Hill, NY 11418.
