A temporary wall in NYC costs between $700 and $3,500. Most installs are done in a single day. No drills. No holes. No damage to your apartment.
If you want to know exactly how to install a temporary wall in NYC — from your first call to finished wall — this guide walks you through every step. All Week Walls has built over 5,000 walls across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island in 15+ years. Here’s the real process.
Before you call anyone, pick a wall type. There are three main options. Each one fits a different budget and apartment situation.
Looks like a real wall. Pressed floor-to-ceiling with tension — no nails. Best for adding a bedroom or splitting with a roommate.
$700 – $2,000Lighter and thinner. Great for dividing open-plan living spaces or creating a home office in a studio.
$900 – $2,500Built-in shelving on one or both sides. Great for studios where storage is just as important as privacy.
$1,200 – $3,500Still deciding? Our pressurized vs flex vs bookcase wall guide lays out the differences in plain terms. For the full pricing breakdown, see how much a temporary wall costs in NYC (2026).

A lot of renters worry here: Will my landlord say no? Pressurized walls leave no marks and use no fasteners. Most landlords in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan approve them without changing your lease. If your building has stricter rules — like a prewar co-op on the Upper West Side — read do you need a permit for a temporary wall in NYC before calling your super.
Once you accept the quote, pick a date. We work 7 days a week — including weekends.
You’ll get a 2-hour arrival window. We protect your floors and ceiling before any work starts.
Here’s exactly what the crew does when they arrive:
Most installs take 3 to 6 hours. Stay home the whole time. For more on timelines, see how long pressurized wall installation takes in NYC.
This is the most common question we hear — especially from renters in co-ops and prewar buildings.
Short answer: usually no.
Pressurized walls are non-load-bearing and use no fasteners. They don’t change your building’s structure. The one exception: if your wall creates a new bedroom, the NYC Department of Buildings may require your landlord to update the Certificate of Occupancy. According to PropertyClub’s NYC pressurized wall guide, that process is the landlord’s responsibility — not the tenant’s.
For most standard installs — splitting a living room, making a home office, adding roommate privacy — no permit is needed. Our full NYC temporary wall permit guide covers every situation.
Every borough has its own building culture. Here’s what to know before you book.
| Borough | What to Know Before You Book |
|---|---|
| 🗽 Manhattan | Co-ops and prewar buildings are common. Get written landlord approval first — especially on the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and SoHo. |
| 🌉 Brooklyn | Landlords in Park Slope, Bushwick, Crown Heights, and Bed-Stuy know pressurized walls well. Most approve without any lease changes. |
| 🏙 Queens | We install often in Astoria, Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Long Island City. Most jobs book within one week. |
| 🏟 The Bronx | Larger apartments mean longer walls. We bring extra crew for bigger jobs. Call ahead to discuss your layout. |
| 🛳 Staten Island | We serve Staten Island. Call ahead to confirm your area and timeline before booking. |

Removal is part of the deal. Call us at least 30 days before your lease ends. The crew removes the wall, handles any minor touch-ups, and leaves your apartment looking like nothing was ever there.
For the full picture on removal and landlord communication, the Ultimate Guide to Temporary Walls in NYC has a complete section on move-out day.
Most installs take 3 to 6 hours. The crew arrives with all materials, does the full installation, and cleans up — all in one visit. You don’t need to leave your apartment.
Installation ranges from $700 to $3,500. Pressurized walls run $700–$2,000. Flex walls cost $900–$2,500. Bookcase walls range from $1,200 to $3,500. Price depends on size, door type, and soundproofing. See the full 2026 NYC pricing guide.
Yes. Always notify your landlord or super before installation. Most NYC landlords approve pressurized walls because they use no fasteners and leave no damage. Written approval is smart — especially in Manhattan co-ops and prewar buildings.
Yes. We offer sliding, French, and barn doors as add-ons to any wall installation. Mention your preference when you request your quote and we’ll build it into the price.
Standard walls reduce noise between rooms. We offer a soundproofing upgrade — acoustic insulation inside the wall cavity — for better privacy. Very popular in Brooklyn studios and Queens co-living setups.
Just call us. We remove and reinstall at a standard fee. The pressurized system leaves your floors and ceiling completely intact — no marks, no damage, no deposit issues.
