A message from our Founder, Peter Hartofilis
With 9+ years of experience in the industry, Peter Hartofilis knew first hand the extensive difficulties homeowners and businesses faced when building and remodeling in NYC. From planning, designing, budgeting, requesting permits, inexperienced contractors, it was clear that navigating construction in New York was confusing and difficult, which led to expensive, time consuming mistakes. Using this knowledge, Peter began assembling an experienced team of NYC interior designers, planners, architects, and various contractors that vertically integrated every aspect of remodeling. Today, with continued leadership by CEO Peter Hartofilis, Essential Remodeling has become an award winning design-build firm that has helped clients and businesses across NYC full-fill their visions.
