The Art of High-Rise Transformation

ZS NY Improvement stands as a premier New York-based renovation firm, establishing the gold standard for apartment transformations across Manhattan's most demanding vertical environments.

Vertical Integration, Superior Results

Led by General Contractor Piotr Smorag, who brings over two decades of industry expertise to every site, our firm combines deep technical precision with a sophisticated understanding of New York City's complex construction landscape.

We reject the industry's reliance on transient labor. Instead, ZS NY Improvement distinguishes itself through vertical integration, maintaining dedicated in-house teams for carpentry, framing, tiling, and finishing. This structure allows us to deliver faster response times, superior oversight, and uncompromised quality control.

From targeted single-room updates to complex full-scale gut renovations, we collaborate closely with architects and designers to execute high-end results that honor the architect's vision and the client's investment.

For highly regulated trades, we partner with fully licensed specialists to ensure absolute compliance—including plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems tailored for high-rises. We work in tandem with architects, engineers, and interior designers to manage the full lifecycle of your investment.

The ZS Advantage

What sets us apart from other contractors in New York City.

In-House Excellence

Unlike general contractors who act merely as middlemen, we utilize our own dedicated crews for demolition, masonry, and carpentry. This eliminates scheduling bottlenecks and ensures every detail meets our rigorous internal standards.

Manhattan Specialists

We are experts at navigating the bureaucratic complexities of NYC, including strict DOB regulations, fire safety codes, and delicate building management relations. We understand the unique logistics of working in high-rise environments.

Occupied-Home Expertise

Renovating a lived-in space requires a higher level of care. We prioritize dust containment, site safety, and clear communication to minimize disruption to your daily life, treating your home with the respect it deserves.

Partnership-Driven

We work hand-in-hand with architects and designers, serving as the technical anchor that brings complex aesthetic visions to life. Our goal is to execute the design with absolute fidelity and structural integrity.
