Two founders. Two strengths. One standard.

Egnatia Construction wasn’t built by one person. It was built through partnership.

Jimmy brings decades of hands-on construction knowledge, craftsmanship, field leadership, and the ability to turn complex renovation plans into reality.

Elona brings business strategy, client relationships, brand development, growth, and the shared vision for where Egnatia is going next.

Different strengths. Shared responsibility. One commitment: do the work right.

As co-founders, we’ve learned that building a company together requires many of the same things as building a great renovation—trust, communication, patience, attention to detail, and the willingness to solve problems when things don’t go according to plan.

Today, our vision for Egnatia is clear:

To become one of the most trusted renovation partners for homeowners, buyers, investors, and real estate professionals across Brooklyn and Manhattan—particularly for complex interior renovations where experience and ex*****on matter.

Behind every project are two people thinking about the same question:

How do we make this better for the client?

That’s what being co-founders means to us.

It isn’t about titles.

It’s about building something together that will outlast us.

Being co-founders isn’t simply about owning a company together.

It means carrying the same vision — even when we carry different responsibilities.

It means making difficult decisions together, solving problems when no one else sees them, and standing behind the work with our name and reputation.

For us, Egnatia Construction represents years of experience, sacrifice, resilience, and craftsmanship.

One side of our partnership is deeply rooted in construction — understanding the job site, the trades, the details, and what it actually takes to execute a complex renovation.

The other is focused on growth — relationships, strategy, positioning, client experience, and building the next chapter of the company.

Different strengths.
One standard.

And that standard is simple:

Do the work properly. Communicate clearly. Protect the client’s investment. Build something we’re proud to put our name behind.

As co-founders, we aren’t only building apartments and brownstones across Brooklyn and Manhattan.

We’re building a company designed to last.

And we’re building it together. 🏙️🔨

🏠 BEFORE YOU BUY THAT BROOKLYN BROWNSTONE… CHECK THESE 5 THINGS.

A beautiful brownstone can look like a dream.

But behind the original moldings, high ceilings, and historic character can be hundreds of thousands of dollars in renovation decisions.

Before you buy, understand what you may actually be inheriting:

1️⃣ Electrical
Older wiring and undersized panels can turn into a major scope item during a gut renovation.

2️⃣ Plumbing
A beautiful bathroom means very little if aging supply and waste lines behind the walls need replacement.

3️⃣ Structural Conditions
Floor movement, compromised framing, previous alterations, and water damage can dramatically change the renovation plan.

4️⃣ Permits + Building Requirements
What you want to build and what NYC allows you to build aren’t always the same thing. Understanding approvals early can prevent expensive surprises.

5️⃣ The REAL Renovation Budget
A property that looks like it needs “$100K of work” may require substantially more once mechanical systems, demolition, finishes, labor, permits, and unforeseen conditions are considered.

High-end buyers don’t necessarily fear construction. They fear uncertainty.

That’s why the smartest renovation decisions often happen before the property is purchased.

At Egnatia Construction, we specialize in complex interior renovations throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, helping homeowners, buyers, and real estate professionals understand the construction reality behind the property.

Buying something that needs significant work?

Bring the contractor into the conversation before the closing—not after the surprises begin.

THE BIGGEST FEAR IN A $250K RENOVATION ISN’T CONSTRUCTION.
IT’S UNCERTAINTY.

When you’re investing $150K–$500K+ into a Brooklyn or Manhattan renovation, you shouldn’t be wondering:

🏗️ Is this budget realistic?
📋 What problems are hiding behind these walls?
💰 Why does the price keep changing?
⏳ How long will this actually take?
🏙️ What will the building or NYC require?

At Egnatia Construction, we believe the contractor’s job isn’t simply to build.

It’s to remove uncertainty before construction begins.

Before a major renovation, we help clients understand the scope, budget, potential risks, building requirements, sequencing, and decisions that can become expensive later.

And if you’re buying a property that needs significant work, involve your contractor before you close whenever possible.

A beautiful brownstone or apartment can be a great investment—but what you don’t see during the showing can completely change the renovation economics.

The smartest renovation decisions happen before demolition.

What Does a $250,000 Brooklyn Renovation Actually Buy? 🏗️

$250,000 sounds like a significant renovation budget.

In Brooklyn, it is.

But the real question isn’t “Is $250K enough?”

It’s “What exactly are you trying to accomplish with it?”

For a typical apartment, townhouse, or brownstone interior renovation, a budget around this level may cover a substantial scope such as:

• Kitchen renovation
• Multiple bathroom renovations
• New flooring or refinishing
• Electrical and plumbing upgrades
• New lighting
• Interior doors, trim and millwork
• Painting and wall restoration
• Layout modifications
• Permits, inspections and project coordination
• Select custom finishes

But here’s where buyers get into trouble:

They purchase the property based on the visible condition without understanding what may be happening behind the walls.

Old electrical.

Outdated plumbing.

Structural surprises.

Building requirements.

Permit complications.

Hidden water damage.

Those discoveries can change the budget quickly.

That’s why at Egnatia Construction, we believe renovation planning should begin with clarity—not demolition.

Before committing hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Brooklyn or Manhattan property, understand:

What needs to be done.
What should be done.
What it is realistically going to cost.

The best renovation is not simply the one with the most beautiful kitchen.

It’s the one where the homeowner understands the road ahead before construction begins.

What Does a $250K Brooklyn Renovation Actually Buy? 🏗️

A $250,000 renovation sounds like a large budget.

In Brooklyn, the more important question is:

What should that investment actually accomplish?

For a typical apartment, townhouse, or brownstone renovation, a budget around this level may include:

• Full interior demolition and reconstruction
• New kitchen and bathrooms
• Electrical and plumbing upgrades
• New flooring and finish carpentry
• Walls, ceilings, doors and millwork
• Lighting upgrades
• Permits, inspections and required building coordination
• Professional project management from demolition through completion

But here’s what homeowners often misunderstand:

The same $250K can produce very different results depending on what is discovered behind the walls.

Outdated electrical systems.
Old plumbing.
Structural conditions.
Building requirements.
DOB issues.
Material selections.
Changes made after construction begins.

These are the things that destroy budgets—not simply the price of cabinets or tile.

At Egnatia Construction, our job isn’t just to build a beautiful space.

Our job is to reduce uncertainty before construction begins.

We help clients understand the scope, risks, sequencing and realistic investment required so fewer surprises appear halfway through the project.

Planning a major renovation in Brooklyn or Manhattan?

Before choosing a contractor based on the lowest number, make sure you understand what that number actually includes.

🏗️ Buying a property that needs renovation? Know the real numbers before you close.

The purchase price is only part of the investment.

• Potential permit/building requirements
• Hidden conditions that could increase costs
• Whether the renovation makes financial sense

That’s why Egnatia Construction offers Pre-Purchase Renovation Assessments—helping buyers and real estate professionals understand the renovation before making a major decision.

A property can look like a great opportunity—until the renovation numbers come in.

One of the biggest mistakes we see buyers make is estimating renovation costs based only on what they can see.

The expensive surprises are often behind the walls.

Before purchasing or renovating a property, here are a few things we believe should be evaluated:

1. Electrical & plumbing
Older systems can turn a cosmetic renovation into a much larger project.

2. Layout changes
Moving a kitchen, bathroom, or wall can dramatically affect both the budget and timeline.

3. Building requirements
For NYC condos and co-ops especially, building rules, insurance requirements, working-hour restrictions, and approvals can affect the project before construction even begins.

4. The true scope of work
“New kitchen and floors” sounds simple. Once demolition begins, the actual condition of the property may tell a different story.

This is why we believe renovation conversations should happen before major decisions are made—not after.

At Egnatia Construction, we help homeowners, buyers, investors, and real estate professionals understand the renovation reality of a property and then manage the project from planning through completion.

If you have a property or listing where renovation is part of the conversation, feel free to reply to this email.

We’d be happy to take a look.
