Renovating in Westchester
Improve the Way Your Home Looks and Functions
Westchester County gives homeowners a lot to love: easy access to New York City, established communities, waterfront areas along the Hudson River and Long Island Sound, and neighborhoods that range from lively Lower Westchester cities to quieter residential areas farther north. It's also home to a wide range of properties, which means renovation needs can look very different from one home to the next.
Modo Renovations works with homeowners throughout Westchester County on home additions, whole-home renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and substantial interior projects. Whether you're updating a recently purchased home or reworking a property you've lived in for years, we look beyond the finishes to help you make smart decisions about layout, function, budget, and long-term value.
How It Works
How We Manage Your Westchester Home Addition or Renovation
Renovating or adding on to a home in Westchester County often involves careful coordination between design, budgeting, permits, structural considerations, and the details of the property itself. We help identify what your project requires early so the scope, investment, and construction plan stay aligned.
After the first walkthrough and estimate, we help develop the plan, coordinate necessary approvals, and prepare for construction. Spencer, the owner of Modo Renovations, manages the work directly with trade specialists matched to the scope, so you have direct access to the person running your renovation and receive organized photo updates every two weeks throughout construction.
FAQs
Common Questions About Full Gut Renovations
- How much does a home renovation cost in Westchester County?expand_more
-
The cost of a Westchester home renovation depends on the size of the property, scope of work, layout changes, existing conditions, permit requirements, and level of finishes. A kitchen or bathroom remodel can be very different from a whole-home renovation involving new systems, structural changes, custom millwork, and multiple rooms.
We start by understanding what you want to accomplish and developing a realistic scope so you can make informed decisions about where your investment will have the greatest impact.
- Do I need permits for a home renovation in Westchester County?expand_more
-
It depends on the project and the municipality where your property is located. Work involving structural changes, plumbing, electrical systems, additions, and other substantial alterations may require permits or professional plans.
We help determine what your project requires and coordinate the permitting and approval process as part of planning the renovation.
- How long does a home renovation take in Westchester?expand_more
-
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, design decisions, permits, material lead times, and existing conditions. A kitchen or bathroom project will typically involve a different schedule than a whole-home renovation or addition.
We build the project schedule around the actual scope rather than giving you a one-size-fits-all timeline before the details are known.
- Do I need an architect for my Westchester renovation?expand_more
-
Not every renovation requires an architect. Major layout changes, structural work, additions, and certain permit applications may require drawings or coordination with an architect or engineer.
If you already have an architect or designer, we're happy to work with them. When additional professionals are needed, we can help coordinate the right team for the project.
- Does Modo Renovations offer home additions in Westchester County?expand_more
-
Yes. Modo Renovations handles home additions and expansion projects in Westchester County. These projects require careful planning around your existing home, structural conditions, design, zoning, permitting, and how the new space connects to the rest of the property.

Client Reviews
Homeowners Who Renovated With Us
Spencer completed a gut renovation on my 2 bed, 1 bath apartment in the West Village. He was extremely patient as we waited 3 months for co-op approval and he finished on time, 3.5 months later. We honestly had no issues, everything went very smoothly. He helped me pick out design choices and answered all of my many questions very timely, even evening hours and weekends. I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out.

Spencer was amazing in how he exceeded my expectations. He would video-call me at stores, which no contractor does, and was incredibly helpful making design and product suggestions. He drew up plans, a job usually done by an architect, and was very prompt getting back to me whenever I had a question. His workers do excellent work. I have referred him to several of my real estate clients enthusiastically, and I will definitely use Modo again.

Spencer and Modo Renovations just finished a major renovation on our basement (adding a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom), and the final result completely exceeded our expectations. Spencer is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is incredibly responsive, professional, and transparent about every detail of the process. His crew did an excellent job, the attention to detail in the craftsmanship is evident everywhere you look, and they handled all the permitting and infrastructure smoothly. Spencer kept everything on track and made a massive home project feel entirely stress-free.

We had a great experience working with Spencer and the team at Modo Renovations on our kitchen remodel. From start to finish, they were communicative, knowledgeable, and efficient. They approached the project with a positive attitude and worked within our constraints without compromising on quality. The attention to detail throughout the build was evident, and the final result exceeded our expectations. The kitchen turned out beautifully. We highly recommend Modo Renovations and look forward to working with them on future, larger projects.

Spencer, Eddie and the team are wonderful! They did such a phenomenal job! I had a very specific outcome in mind for a custom closet and Spencer was such a great partner in bringing my vision to life, and even making recommendations for improvements that elevated the look. Construction in general can be a difficult process, waiting for materials, living in a construction site, but they really made every effort to reduce any potential stress that naturally comes with the process. Big thank you to the team. Definitely hire them!
