NO DRILL · NO DAMAGE · NO DEPOSIT LOST
Freestanding walls that turn a studio into a one-bedroom — up in an afternoon, gone without a trace.
A studio apartment divider is a freestanding wall that carves a real bedroom, office, or nursery out of one open room — and then leaves without a fingerprint. Our temporary walls for apartments stand entirely on their own: no drilling, no permits, no landlord drama, and not a scratch on the floor when they come down. They never touch your ceiling or your existing walls, so the day you move, the apartment looks exactly as you found it. Our crew has been installing these across the five boroughs for twenty-five years — studios, alcoves, lofts, and junior 1-bedrooms alike.
Because nothing is drilled, screwed, or glued to the apartment, three useful things happen at once. Your deposit is safe — the floor under the wall looks like the floor beside it. You skip the permit — anything that doesn’t touch the structure isn’t a build. And you almost never need landlord approval — a wall that attaches to nothing is no more an alteration than a bookcase is. On the rare strict lease, we hand you a one-page explainer; we’ve never had one rejected.

The job we do most: a freestanding divider that carves a private bedroom or office out of an open studio — fully reversible, zero damage, no contractor.
· Studio-to-one-bedroom — the classic: a real bedroom off the long wall, with light and air still moving.
· A desk zone split out of a too-big bedroom without losing the window.
· Roommate privacy walls in Brooklyn lofts, one space into two private lives.
· A nursery off the primary, with a real sliding door.
· Living-to-guest-room — up for the in-laws, down by Sunday.

Nobody actually wants a wall that looks like a wall they put up — they want one that looks like it was always there. A curtain, a folding screen, or a 2x4-and-good-intentions partition announces “temporary” the instant anyone walks in. Ours reads as architecture from three feet away. The whole point of dividing a studio is to live in a one-bedroom that feels like a one-bedroom — not a studio wearing a disguise.



Almost never — a freestanding wall isn’t an alteration, so most NYC leases don’t require it. We’ll give you a one-pager for the strict ones.
No. It rests on adjustable leveling legs built for the warped pre-war floors we work on daily. Twenty-five years in, we’ve never left a mark.
Not for a freestanding one — it doesn’t touch the structure, so there’s nothing for the DOB to sign off on. (Always worth skimming your lease.)
Most studio installs are done in an afternoon — two to three hours, one crew, no mess. Request a free quote.
