General contractors in New York must hold a license issued by the NYC Department of Buildings. Before hiring, verify the contractor's license status and insurance through the city's official records to confirm they are authorized to perform the work.

Building permits are typically required for construction projects in Brooklyn. Your contractor should handle permit applications and compliance with NYC building codes. Ask your contractor about permit requirements for your specific scope of work before starting.

When planning your project, discuss the contractor's approach to design and construction phases, timeline, communication practices, and how they manage subcontractors if needed. Clear expectations upfront prevent delays and ensure quality results.
