The man behind every Steelcrest build. Two decades of precision, integrity, and craftsmanship across New York's most demanding construction market.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The values Claudio brings to every project are not policies or procedures. They are the product of 20 years of doing this work and understanding what it truly takes to earn — and keep — a client's trust.
Claudio brings 20+ years of hands-on expertise across every major category of construction and renovation work in New York.
Claudio Garcia Chamarro and the Steelcrest team are currently accepting new residential and commercial projects across Queens and greater New York. Every engagement begins with a direct conversation with Claudio himself.
