About

The man who
built Steelcrest

Claudio Garcia Chamarro is the founder and CEO of Steelcrest, a full-service construction and architecture contracting firm based in Queens, New York. With more than two decades of hands-on experience, Claudio has built one of New York's most trusted names in residential construction, commercial development, and full-scale renovation.

Claudio's approach to construction is rooted in a principle he has held since his earliest days in the industry: every project represents a significant investment for the client — financially, emotionally, and practically. That understanding shapes every decision made at Steelcrest, from how projects are planned to how they are executed and delivered.

Under his leadership, Steelcrest has grown entirely through referrals and repeat business — a testament to the quality of work and the relationships built along the way. Claudio remains personally involved in every project Steelcrest undertakes, ensuring that the standard he has spent 20 years establishing is maintained on every job site, every day.

Based in Queens, New York, Claudio brings an intimate knowledge of the city's construction landscape — its regulations, its neighborhoods, its architectural character, and its demands — to every client engagement. That local expertise, combined with two decades of technical mastery, is what makes working with Claudio Garcia Chamarro and Steelcrest a different experience.

Philosophy

How Claudio approaches every build

I
Craft over speed

In a city that moves fast, Claudio believes the work itself must be unhurried where it matters. Precision cannot be rushed. The structures Steelcrest builds are meant to stand for decades — and they are built that way.

II
Transparency always

Construction involves decisions, surprises, and tradeoffs. Claudio's commitment to his clients is total honesty throughout the process — good news and bad, delivered directly and promptly. No client should ever be surprised by their own project.

III
Personal accountability

Claudio does not delegate responsibility for his clients' projects. He is present, reachable, and personally accountable for the outcome of every job Steelcrest undertakes. When you hire Steelcrest, you have Claudio's name behind the work.

Career

Two decades of
building New York

The beginning
Entering the construction industry

Claudio began his career in construction at ground level — learning the craft from experienced tradespeople, developing technical skills across residential and commercial projects, and building the foundation of knowledge that would define his career.

Early career
Building expertise across New York

Working across Queens, Manhattan, and greater New York, Claudio developed a deep understanding of the city's construction landscape — its regulatory requirements, its architectural diversity, and the standards its property owners demand.

Founding
Establishing Steelcrest

Drawing on years of experience and a clear vision for what a construction firm should be, Claudio founded Steelcrest — a company built on the values of craftsmanship, integrity, and personal accountability that have defined his career from the start.

Growth
Expanding across residential & commercial

Steelcrest grew its portfolio across residential construction, commercial builds, and complex renovation projects throughout the New York metro area — building a client base that returned again and again, and referred others consistently.

Today
20+ years and still building

Claudio Garcia Chamarro continues to lead Steelcrest personally — overseeing every project, maintaining the standards he established two decades ago, and bringing the same commitment to craft and client care to every new build, renovation, and commercial project.

Every project someone brings to me represents something important to them. I have never forgotten that, and I never will.
