Who we are

A local Manhattan contractor for water damage and property repair

JR General Contracting Group is based at 307 W 93rd St on the Upper West Side and serves property owners, residents, landlords and building managers across Manhattan. Our work centers on water-related damage: removing standing water, drying the affected structure, controlling remaining moisture, and then rebuilding the surfaces and finishes that were damaged.

Because we operate as a general contractor as well as a water damage restoration service, the repair stage does not require a separate company. The same team that documents the damage and dries the space can also handle drywall, ceiling, wall and interior restoration work once the structure is ready.

Water damage cleanup, removal and drying

Water problems in Manhattan buildings often start with a burst pipe, an appliance failure, a roof or window leak, or water travelling down from an upper floor. Each situation is handled in a defined sequence so the property is dry before any repair work begins.

Water Damage Cleanup

Clearing standing water, removing saturated materials that cannot be dried, and cleaning affected floors, walls and contact surfaces.

Repair and restoration after the water is gone

Drying a property is only half of the job. The visible damage — stained ceilings, soft drywall, damaged trim and finishes — still needs to be rebuilt. As a general contractor in Manhattan, we carry out that repair work directly.

Our process

A simple three-stage service process

Every project follows the same order, from the first inspection to the final repair.

Stage 1

Assessment

We inspect the affected area, identify where the water came from and how far it travelled, take moisture readings, and explain the scope of work needed.

Stage 2

Water Removal & Drying

Standing water is extracted, unsalvageable materials are removed, and drying equipment is set up and monitored until the structure reaches dry readings.

Stage 3

Repair & Restoration

Drywall, ceilings, walls, trim and finishes are rebuilt so the space returns to a usable, finished condition.

Property types

Residential & commercial services

Manhattan properties vary widely, and water damage behaves differently in a pre-war walk-up than in a modern commercial build-out. We adjust access, equipment placement and scheduling to suit the building.

Residential

Apartments, condominiums, co-ops, brownstones and multi-family buildings, including work coordinated with residents, owners and building staff.

Commercial

Offices, retail spaces, restaurants and small commercial units, with attention to reducing disruption to daily operations wherever possible.
