What We Build

Kadima Construction is a full-service remodeling contractor working across the New York metro. We handle the whole job, demolition through final walk-through, so you are not coordinating four different trades yourself.

Bathroom Remodeling

Our most requested work. Full gut renovations, walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, vanity and tile installation, and small-bathroom layouts that have to earn every inch. Demolition through finish work runs as one managed scope with one point of contact.

Bathroom remodeling

Kitchen Remodeling

Cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, lighting, and flooring coordinated as a single build. We work with your layout or reconfigure it, including relocating plumbing and electrical where the building allows.

Kitchen remodeling

Full Home Renovation

Whole-house and multi-room renovations where the trades have to be sequenced properly to hold a schedule. This is where our process matters most: one crew lead, one timeline, one point of contact.

Full home renovation

Basement Renovation

Finishing unfinished space into living area, guest suites, or in-law arrangements. Framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, and egress-aware layouts.

Basement renovation

Tile Installation

Ceramic, porcelain, and mosaic tile for bathrooms, kitchen backsplashes, and floors. Layout and waterproofing are set before the first tile goes down, because that is what determines whether the finish lasts.

Ceramic tile installation

Flooring Installation

Hardwood, engineered wood, and vinyl plank, installed as a standalone job or as part of a larger renovation. Subfloor preparation is included in every scope.

Wood and vinyl flooring installation

Drywall & Painting

Drywall hanging, taping, patching, and interior painting. Dust containment is set up before demolition starts, not after the mess exists.

Drywall and painting

Carpentry, Closets & Trim

Crown molding, baseboards, door and window installation, built-in shelving, and closet systems. Finish carpentry is the work most visible when a project is done.

Why We Started Kadima

Kadima Construction started in 2019, and the reason was straightforward: too many renovations go wrong not because someone lacks skill, but because nobody is accountable for the whole job. A homeowner ends up holding four phone numbers and mediating between trades who each blame the one before them.

Hector and Mario Bocel had spent eight years in the trade before starting the company, long enough to learn which promises actually get kept. They had watched completion dates slip because nobody owned them, and watched families live around dust for weeks because cleaning up was treated as the last task instead of a daily one. Kadima was built to do the opposite on both counts: one crew lead who owns the outcome, a schedule set before demolition rather than discovered during it, and a jobsite you can live alongside.

That is still how the company runs. Both owners are involved in the work rather than only in the sales conversation, and the standard the crew is held to is the one they set on site.

Licensed in both jurisdictions we serve.

We hold NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection license #2132-535-DCWP and Westchester County home improvement license #WC-39446-H20-25. County law requires a licensed contractor to display that number in advertising. Many do not. Both of ours are on every page of this site.

We commit to a completion date and hold it.

The schedule is set before demolition and the things that threaten it are named up front. When a date does move, you hear it from us before you notice it yourself.

Your home stays livable while we work.

Dust containment goes up before demolition. The site is swept and cleared daily. Most of our clients stay in their homes through the project, and the job is planned around that.

One crew lead, start to finish.

One crew lead runs your project from demolition to final walk-through. Every trade, from plumbing to tile to finish carpentry, is coordinated through us, on our schedule, held to our quality standard. You never have to coordinate between separate companies.

Seven years building, eight years in the trade.

Kadima Construction was founded in 2019 by Hector and Mario Bocel, who brought eight years of hands-on experience into the business.

What Our Clients Say

  • Jacqueline Liburd

    Hector and Mario were true professionals, treating and respecting our home as if it were their own. Work done was top notch, with them making frequent check ins to ensure that I was satisfied with colors, workmanship etc. Everything was cleaned up and left immaculate at the end of every day. When the project was complete, the only evidence that they were in my home was the quality work left behind. Top notch, top marks to Hector and Mario

  • Ryan Shaffer

    Hector and his crew did an amazing job with our mini basement renovation. Prompt communication, reliable, very efficient. Even finished ahead of schedule. Great workmanship and attention to detail. Will definitely use them again for our next project.

  • Polina Ilnitskaya

    I've worked with Kadima Construction on several projects and can highly recommend them. They are responsible, hardworking, and truly care about what they do. Demolition work is always fast and clean, and the team keeps everything organized throughout the process. Every tile and floor they install is perfectly leveled, and the walls come out smooth and beautifully painted. They also do amazing landscaping - stone walls, pool tiles, planting trees and greenery - creating truly beautiful surroundings inside and out. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Real perfectionists in the best way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kadima Construction licensed and insured?

Yes. Kadima Construction holds NYC DCWP license #2132-535-DCWP and Westchester County home improvement license #WC-39446-H20-25, and carries $1,000,000 in general liability insurance. Holding licenses in both jurisdictions matters because they are issued separately: a contractor licensed only in New York City is not licensed to perform home improvement work in the county, and the reverse is also true. You can verify any county-issued license through the Department of Consumer Protection.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Queens, Westchester County, and the Bronx, working within roughly 60 miles north of our base in Elmhurst, Queens. That includes Rye, Harrison, Purchase, Larchmont, Pelham, White Plains, Scarsdale, New Rochelle, Bronxville, and surrounding areas. If you are unsure whether your address falls inside our range, call and ask. It takes one minute to confirm.

Do you handle permits?

Yes, we handle permit filing for the work we perform, in both New York City and Westchester County. In New York City, most kitchen and bathroom renovations that do not change the structure or occupancy fall under a DOB Alteration Type 2 filing, where approval commonly takes about four to eight weeks after submission. To the north, municipalities issue their own building permits town by town, so requirements and timelines vary by location. We identify what your specific project needs during the estimate, before the schedule is set.

How much does a remodel cost?

When it comes to the price of a bathroom, kitchen, or full remodel in NYC, costs vary depending on the design, size, and quality of materials used for the project. Here is a good index to see whether it is worth the investment: according to Remodeling's 2025 Cost vs. Value Report for NYC (referenced via JLC), a midrange 5x7 ft bathroom remodel averaging $30,376 returns 76.5%, while an upscale bathroom with a cost of $90,686 gets you 40.1% back when you sell your home. So, you invest the money now, enjoy your bath for years to come, and when it's time to move on, you're still benefiting from an investment made years ago.

How do I get started?

Submit your project details through our form, and once we review your submission, we will reach out the same day or by the next business day to schedule an on-site visit. You can also call us directly at (646) 673-4424. We are available Monday through Saturday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During our on-site visit, we sit down with you to discuss all the key details of your project, including the scope, budget, material choices, timeline, and overall vision so we can provide an accurate written proposal.
