Licensed Home Improvement Contractors in Jamaica, Queens

546 DCWP-licensed contractors — Page 17 of 28

Jamaica is the home improvement capital of New York City, with over 440 DCWP-licensed contractors — more than any other neighborhood in all five boroughs. This concentration makes sense when you look at the area's housing: Jamaica and its surrounding blocks are dense with single-family homes, two-family houses, and small multi-family buildings, many built in the early-to-mid 20th century and now reaching the age where major systems need replacement or full renovation. Basement conversions are especially popular here, as many homes have full-height basements suitable for legal living spaces. Kitchen and bathroom renovations, roofing, siding, and window replacement round out the most common projects. With so many licensed contractors competing for work in the area, Jamaica homeowners have the advantage of being able to compare multiple bids easily — take advantage of that competition and get at least three written estimates before committing.
