What WBE Certification Actually Means for You

WBE stands for Women Business Enterprise. We are specifically WBE-certified meaning our business is verified by the government as 51% or more owned, operated, and controlled by women. That’s not something you can self-declare. It requires documentation, a formal review process, and approval from a government agency. For you, that certification matters in two ways. If you’re a homeowner or commercial client in Brooklyn who wants to support a women-owned business, it’s a credential you can verify before you sign anything. If you’re a developer, general contractor, or agency procurement officer who needs to meet MWBE participation goals on a public or subsidized project, we’re already in the directory ready to work. Either way, the certification is just the starting point. We back it with a full trade capability that covers framing, flooring, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, drywall, painting, and design services all under one roof.

Minority Owned Contractor Brooklyn, NY

Brooklyn's MWBE Market Is Bigger Than Most People Realize

New York City awarded $6.4 billion in M/WBE contracts in fiscal year 2024 a back-to-back record and for the first time in the city’s history, MWBE participation exceeded 30%, reaching 31.4% of eligible contract spending. That’s not a niche program. That’s a significant and growing share of how New York City does business. And yet, the NYC Comptroller has specifically identified construction and real estate development as the sectors with the largest contracting disparities for MWBE firms. The demand is there. The policy pressure on agencies and developers to use certified firms is real. What’s harder to find is a certified MWBE contractor with the actual trade capacity to perform the work one that can handle a full gut renovation, a restaurant buildout, or a multi-trade commercial project from start to finish. That’s the gap we fill. Brooklyn-based, government-certified, and fully equipped to do the job.

Certified MWBE Subcontractor New York

From Brownstones to Buildouts We Handle Both

Most certified MWBE contractors in Brooklyn specialize narrowly kitchens only, bathrooms only, or exclusively residential. We don’t. On the residential side, we handle full gut renovations, brownstone restorations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, window installation, carpentry, drywall, and painting. On the commercial side, we’ve worked on office buildouts, salon renovations, restaurant fit-outs, and retail environments. Brooklyn’s brownstone belt Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Crown Heights, and Bed-Stuy is one of the most active renovation markets in the country. These are pre-war buildings with original systems, old masonry, and in many cases, LPC historic district requirements that add real complexity to any project. We know these buildings. We know the permit process. And for mixed-use property owners or developers who need one certified firm across multiple project types, we’re built for that.

MWBE Certified Contractor FAQs

Common Questions About Our Service

MWBE is the umbrella term that covers two separate certifications: MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) and WBE (Women Business Enterprise). We hold WBE certification, which means our business has been verified by the government as at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by women who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. This is not a self-declared status it requires a formal application, documentation review, and approval from a government agency like NYC’s Department of Small Business Services or New York State’s Empire State Development. Our WBE certification number is MWCERT2018-1752, and you can verify it through the NYC SBS online directory.
Not in a legal sense private homeowners in Brooklyn are not required to use MWBE-certified contractors the way government agencies are. But there are practical reasons many Brooklyn homeowners and private developers choose to. Some private developers have their own diversity sourcing commitments, especially if they’re working with community organizations or receiving any form of city incentive or subsidy. And many homeowners simply want to support a women- or minority-owned business as a values-driven decision. Beyond the certification itself, what matters is that the contractor is licensed, insured, and capable and we hold all of that alongside our WBE status.
This is the right question to ask, and it’s easier than most people think. For NYC-certified firms, you can search the NYC M/WBE Online Directory through the NYC Department of Small Business Services website. For NYS-certified firms, the New York State Empire State Development maintains its own searchable directory. Our WBE certification number is MWCERT2018-1752. You can also verify our NYC Home Improvement Contractor license (# 1302135) through the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection’s online license lookup tool. Both take a few minutes. We encourage you to check that’s exactly why we publish the numbers.
Yes. Brooklyn has more than a dozen LPC-designated historic districts, including Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Crown Heights North, and Bed-Stuy. Properties in these areas require Landmarks Preservation Commission approval for exterior work and sometimes for interior structural modifications as well. That process adds real complexity and typically adds time and cost to a project. We’re familiar with the LPC approval process and factor it into our planning from the start, so you’re not caught off guard mid-project. If your property is in a historic district, let us know upfront and we’ll account for it in the scope.
Absolutely. This is a significant part of what we do. Developers, general contractors, and agencies working on NYC or NYS-funded projects often have MWBE participation goals written into their contracts. Finding a certified subcontractor with real trade capacity one that can handle framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes, and more is often the harder part. We’re listed in the NYC M/WBE directory, hold WBE certification License # MWCERT2018-1752, and have the crew and capability to perform on multi-trade commercial and residential projects. Reach out with your project scope and we can discuss whether it’s a fit.
