Building the future.

Restoring the past.

SHL Builders was built on real experience, starting from the job site and working upward. This deep, practical knowledge gives us the edge when it comes to overseeing every stage of a renovation.

Beliefs shape what we build

Professionalism

We don’t rely on shortcuts. Our clients trust us to deliver spaces that are not only visually impressive, but also built to last. Ten years in the field have shaped our commitment to high standards: every project reflects that dedication.

Quality

We select materials with precision and partner only with subcontractors whose standards match our own. We focus on more than just aesthetics, our goal is to create spaces that are both practical and long-lasting. Our reputation depends on it.

Feedback

We take feedback seriously. Rather than a box to tick, this is how we foster ongoing improvement. We encourage honest reviews, because they help us understand what we’re doing right and where we can do better.

Flexibility

Budgets shift. Plans evolve. We get it. That’s why we approach each project with an open mind and a willingness to adapt. Whether it’s adjusting the schedule or rethinking finishes, we’ll find solutions that respect your priorities.

Customer satisfaction

We see ourselves as collaborators first, contractors second. Building trust is part of the job, and we’re proud that many of our clients come back or refer us to others. For us, the project isn’t finished until you’re fully at home in your new space.

Reliability

Renovations can be stressful. One of our goals is to make the experience more manageable and even enjoyable. We stay with you from start to finish and make sure no detail is overlooked. You’ll never feel left in the dark.

Our operation approach

SHL Builders takes full responsibility for managing each project. We begin with thorough planning and material ordering, maintain constant communication with all involved parties throughout, and ensure rigorous oversight until the final clean-up and project closure. Every step is executed with precision, whether the project is a luxury residence or a high-end commercial renovation.

“We know how frustrating the renovation can be. This is why for each project I am making a transparent plan with schedules, deadlines, and details for each client. You won’t find many decent and humane companies out there who actually do the job and stay with you until the end. But WE do and with us, you are in good hands.”

“I founded this company with enough knowledge to understand what clients are ultimately looking for – a company that cares about their project and will do everything in their power to bring it to life. Sounds like the job SHL Builders do every day.”

Being part of SHL Builders means delivering projects that are well-coordinated, detail-driven, and aligned with the design intent. My role is to support that process—working closely with our team, architects, and trades to keep everything organized, on track, and executed to the highest standard.

“We are responsible for all the ordering and delivering for the project. I oversee the quality of all our materials to the highest standards. This is not an easy task in high-end construction, where everything has to be not only the best but durable as well. At SHL Builders, quality standards are always established and kept with utmost care for the results.”

What keeps us moving

“SHL builders did an amazing job! They build up my juice bar and result was outstanding! Better that I could ever imagine! You could see it with your eyes if you stop by at 62 Madison Ave! I was really impressed with their work, it’s just very rare when somebody can create what you can only imagine in your head! They did it perfectly! They are very responsive and easy to work with! It’s very hard to find a great construction company, that is a fact which everybody knows. But I was lucky enough to find it. Highly recommend it for any commercial or residential project are you considering (they are doing it all!). The price was great comparing to other companies, the job was done on time and I appreciated so much the attention to small details! Super helpful, trying their best to deliver in time and also to make it not only look pretty but with the best quality! Hopefully to work with you again very soon for my next project!”

“We renovated a 19th century townhome with SHL Builders. It was a complex project that included a full gut renovation of one level of the home and a period restoration of a second level, as well as new HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, flooring, cabinetry, and built-ins. We were consistently blown away by Leo and his team, from their strong organization and clear written communications, to the spotless cleanliness of the work site and the gorgeous detailing they did on trim, molding, millwork, and wood restoration. Best of all, they created a spreadsheet estimating the project timeline, and stuck to it -- an experience we know is all but unheard of in home renovating. We are so grateful, and give them the strongest recommendation.”

Dana Goldstein

“After meeting with many other contractors, once I met Leo and his team, I knew immediately that I wanted their help on this project. Leo and his team were friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and very professional through the entire process. Leo was very attentive and reliable and was so helpful when I had a million questions. They truly brought my dreams and creations to life. You guys went above and beyond. I really appreciate that everything was done properly and perfectly. I can’t thank you all enough for the hard work you put into Ceremonia Bakeshop. I had a great experience working with them and I highly recommend them for any project you may have. SHL Builders, thank you so much for building Ceremonia Bakeshop. You guys are amazing.”

Ceremonia Bakeshop

“SHL Builders renovated our home and did an absolutely amazing job. SHL workers are true craftsmen and did impeccable work throughout. Unlike the contractors who the previous owners of our place hired, they did not try to cut corners. Instead, it's clear that SHL did high-quality work with incredible care and attention to detail. Since we were living in our place for part of the renovation, we also got to know some of the workers, whom I've come to trust and really admire for their kindness, talent, and pride they take in their work (our dogs LOVE them too!). We also never received any complaints from our tenant or the neighbors, probably because they always cleaned up after themselves and kept things immaculate.”

Andrea Sanchez

“I've worked with SHL builders to remodel my Brooklyn condo and had a great experience from start to finish. Throughout the process they had taken the time to explain to me what and why they were doing things so I was always comfortable with what's going on. Their professionalism, problem solving attitude and attention to detail is top notch and you can tell they are really trying to build long term relationships rather than nickel and diming you. Also they have good relationships with suppliers so I was able to find great products and materials within my budget.”

Julie Grandperrin

“I have had the very good fortune to have engaged SHL Construction, led by Leo Hubin to undertake a gut renovation and build out of an upper duplex of our family brownstone in Park Slope. We met SHL through our architect and after getting some other proposals, hired them. SHL realized our architect’s vision to the height of perfection. Their attention to detail began with ensuring a very solidly constructed, well insulated and squeak free infrastructure. At every step of construction SHL worked without compromise to quality, even though most of this excellent work would be hidden in the walls and under the floor. Leo knows no other way. It is a tribute to Leo that every one of his workers and subs showed a dedication to quality that reflected Leo’s standard - always giving that extra effort to get it right. Below is a list of some of what makes SHL a very special contractor.”

Gary Sloman

“Leo and the SHL Builders team worked on our 2bath, kitchen and laundry renovation project. It was really great to work with them. They are very professional, responsive, reliable and able to adapt to our requests along the way. We are very glad they executed the project in a clean, sturdy and timely manner. We love our new home even more thanks to to them. We definitely recommend SHL Builders and would work with them again without hesitation.”

Julie Grandperrin

“SHL did a full townhouse renovation for us in 2022. Leo and his team were absolutely amazing and a pleasure to work with. Their work is really high quality - and Leo has a great eye for detail. My husband is an architect and pretty picky - and even he loved working with SHL! They were reasonably priced and finished on time. You don't hear this in New York very often, but we loved working with SHL and would recommend them to anybody looking for a great GC!”

Judy Kuh

“We had a fantastic experience with the entire team at SHL Builders. They did an incredible job with our renovations. They were responsive, timely, and took great care of our place while working on it. We are very happy with the work they did and will be sure to use them in the future if we do additional renovations.”

Charlie

“Leo and his team at SHL Builders were a pleasure to work with on our first renovation project. He helped us turn one bathroom we didn’t like into two we love and was patient and communicative throughout the process. Highly recommend SHL.”
