Home Remodeling Contractor in Tonawanda, NY

Tonawanda is a first-ring suburb with deep roots — the walkable village streets of Kenmore, the neighborhoods along Sheridan Drive and Delaware Avenue, the riverfront by Niawanda Park. The housing stock here is some of the most solid in Western New York: 1920s through 1950s colonials, Capes, and bungalows built when lumber was real lumber. But solid bones don’t mean modern living. Small closed-off kitchens, one-and-a-half baths, outdated electrical, and layouts built for a different era.

We’re Selvaggio General Contracting, a family-owned remodeling company based in West Seneca. For over 30 years we’ve been the whole-project contractor for Tonawanda homeowners — not just one room, but kitchens plus baths, additions, and full home renovations handled by a single crew from start to finish.

Whole-Home Renovations in Kenmore and the Town of Tonawanda

The projects we do most in Tonawanda aren’t single-room updates — they’re the bigger jobs where a homeowner wants one contractor accountable for everything. Opening up a 1940s Kenmore colonial: kitchen opened to the dining room, both baths gutted and rebuilt, hardwood refinished throughout, electrical brought up to code. Adding a family room off the back of a Town of Tonawanda ranch. Finishing the basement and remodeling the kitchen in one coordinated project instead of two disruptive ones.

Older homes come with older-home surprises — plaster walls, knob-and-tube wiring buried in walls, cast-iron plumbing, the occasional structural quirk. After three decades, very little surprises us, and we price honestly for what’s likely behind the walls instead of hitting you with change orders every week.

One Contractor for the Entire Project

Here’s what goes wrong with big remodels: the homeowner becomes the general contractor, juggling a plumber who doesn’t talk to the electrician who doesn’t talk to the drywall crew. That’s the job you hire us to avoid. Design, demo, framing, mechanicals, drywall, tile, carpentry, paint — one crew, one schedule, one phone number.

We’re 4.8-star rated because we run our jobs tight: you’ll know the plan for each week, the site gets cleaned daily, and the price we quote is the price you pay unless you choose to change the scope. Every project starts with a free in-home estimate. We’ll walk the whole house, listen to what you want to accomplish, and give you an honest read on what’s possible at your budget.

Home Remodeling FAQs — Tonawanda, NY

Do you take on whole-house renovations, or just single rooms? Both — but whole-house and multi-room projects are our specialty. If you’re updating the kitchen, the baths, and the flooring, doing it as one coordinated project saves you months of disruption compared to hiring separate contractors room by room.

My house is from the 1930s. What surprises should I expect? The usual suspects in Tonawanda’s older homes: outdated wiring, plaster-and-lath walls, cast-iron drain lines, and occasionally structural settling. We look for all of it during the estimate and deal with what we find as part of the plan — not as a surprise invoice.

Do you work in both the Town and the City of Tonawanda? Yes — we work throughout the Town of Tonawanda, the Village of Kenmore, and the City of Tonawanda, including the neighborhoods near Niawanda Park and Gateway Harbor. We handle the different permit requirements for each municipality.
