A contractor you can actually trust.

Cresco Construction was founded by Sal Papraniku, a hands-on contractor who built his reputation one job at a time in Manhattan's most demanding buildings. What started as a small crew doing high-end renovations has grown into a full-service general contracting firm trusted by co-op boards, condo associations, and private homeowners across all five boroughs.

We specialize in the kind of work that requires real coordination — gut renovations, custom cabinetry, wallpaper installation, trade management, and emergency mitigation. Every project is managed directly by our team, not handed off to subcontractors you've never met.

We're licensed, insured, and accountable. When you call Cresco, you get Sal's personal commitment that the job will be done right — on time, on budget, and to the standard your building expects.
