One of the things we hear a lot is, “We love this house, but it doesn’t work for us anymore.” That’s a big reason people call a general contractor in a town like this. Older homes have charm, but charm doesn’t fix a cramped bathroom, worn floors, or peeling paint. At Shabanaj Brothers Construction LLC, we’ve spent time helping families make their homes feel right again, without losing what made them love the place in the first place.
We’ve talked with homeowners after walks near the village area, after busy school weeks, and after weekends spent staring at a project they didn’t want to tackle alone. In Montgomery, NY, people care about their homes. They want them to look good, last long, and feel comfortable every day. That’s where our team comes in, with honest help and solid work that makes life easier.
What we help with around here
House Renovation
A lot of house renovation calls start with one small problem that turns into a bigger plan. We once spoke with a family who wanted to open up one room because it felt dark all day. That simple idea grew into a full house renovation plan that made the kitchen, living room, and entry feel connected. And honestly, that’s often how it goes, one smart change can make the whole home feel lighter.
Interior Painting
Interior painting seems simple until somebody is standing in a room with patchy walls, old nail holes, and paint that never dried right years ago. We’ve helped homeowners freshen bedrooms, hallways, and main living spaces so the house feels clean again. Good interior painting can change the mood of a room fast, especially when the old color made everything feel smaller and dull.
Exterior Painting
We get exterior painting calls when siding starts looking tired or trim begins to chip after rough weather. One homeowner told us they didn’t notice how faded the place had become until they pulled into the driveway one evening at sunset. After the exterior painting was done, the home looked cared for again. It wasn’t about showing off, it was about feeling proud every time they came home.
Bathroom Renovation
Bathroom renovation work is often about daily stress. We’ve heard stories about families sharing one outdated bathroom with storage problems, old tile, and a shower that just never felt clean. A bathroom renovation can fix function and comfort at the same time. When the layout works better and the space feels bright, those rushed mornings get a little easier for everyone in the house.
Drywall Installation
Drywall installation usually comes up after leaks, remodeling, or walls that have just taken a beating over the years. We worked with one homeowner who tried to patch a few spots on their own, then realized the whole wall looked uneven in the afternoon light. That’s when drywall installation made sense. Smooth walls make a bigger difference than people think, especially before paint goes on.
Deck Construction
Deck construction is one of those projects that families get excited about because they can already imagine using it. We talked with a homeowner who wanted a better place for summer dinners and quiet coffee in the morning. After the deck construction plan came together, the backyard felt like part of the home instead of empty space. That’s the kind of change people really feel every week.
Floor Installation
Floor installation can change the whole rhythm of a house. We’ve seen old flooring creak, shift, stain, and make clean rooms still feel worn out. One family wanted something tougher for kids, pets, and daily traffic, so we helped them think through options that fit the way they actually live. Good floor installation doesn’t just look nice, it makes the home easier to use and enjoy.
Those are some of the big ones, but honestly we handle a lot more around here:
- House Renovation
- Interior Painting

We’re always happy to talk through which of these makes the most sense for your home.
Why people call us back
People usually want a general contractor who shows up, talks plainly, and doesn’t make the whole thing harder than it needs to be. That’s what we aim for. We’ve heard from homeowners who felt ignored by past contractors, or got confusing answers when they asked simple questions. We think that stinks. So we keep things clear, we listen, and we treat each project like it matters, because it does.
Another big reason local customers choose us is that we respect how people actually live in their homes. Maybe there’s a kid doing homework at the table, maybe a dog loses its mind every time someone knocks, maybe a work-from-home setup has to stay running. We plan around real life. That small stuff matters more than people think, and it helps jobs move with less stress.
We also like being honest about what a home needs and what it doesn’t. If something can be repaired without turning into a giant project, we’ll say so. If a bigger fix would save trouble later, we’ll say that too. People want straight answers, and that’s fair.
What happens when you call us
When someone reaches out to us, here’s usually how it goes. First, we talk about what’s bothering you. Sometimes it’s very clear, like damaged drywall or a bathroom that needs a full update. Other times it’s just a feeling that the house isn’t working well anymore, and we help sort that out.
