As the conversation progressed, kept changing the price (upward) and changing what was/was not included.  He was very engaging, but we lost confidence that "the price would be the price" after the job started.  Decided not to go with him.

Nick Biango and his crew are awesome.  They are very professional and easy to work with.  The job went smoothly and was completed more quickly than originally quoted.  The renovation looks amazing.  They were very courteous and cleaned up every bit of construction debris before they left.  We will definitely use Biango Construction for jobs in the future.

I found Nick thru Angie's List and asked him to come out and offer an estimate for carpentry, floor work, and painting that we wanted done on a house we had just bought. Nick was able to meet us soon after and offered a reasonable timetable and competitive prices for the work we required. We gave him the job and he did not disappoint. Throughout the month-long project, Nick and his crew produced quality work and quickly addressed any problems that arose, including old wiring in the living/dining room area. We had no trouble getting ahold of Nick when we needed to discuss a particular aspect of the job and he was quick to update the invoice for any changes to the contract. He didn't push us to add more projects to the job and gave his honest opinion on other work we may want done in the future. I particularly liked how closely he watched each phase of the work to ensure it was done well. All in, we felt we got what we paid for and we love the changes to our house. I can see us using Nick for other work in the future.

Nick and his crew were a delight.  Hard workers, friendly, competent and very neat. Always on time and came every day until the job was complete. This was important because my 91 yr.old mother is with us and we were in confined quarters. We were expecting 3 weeks but he completed it in 2 weeks!!  Everyone who has seen the new room just loves it, as we do!  The trim work is beautiful.  Nick has a lot of great ideas.    We would highly  recommend him to do any project you may have.  He has a great work ethic that you don't see very often these days!!

We now have a beautiful deck that is extremely well constructed.  This carpenter has many years experience as a carpenter and it shows in his work.  He was very detailed in all the work he did.  We highly recommend this company.  Nick took the time we needed in order to help us make decisions and was great in presenting a variety of options.  Nick is very easy to work with and we had no complaints.  He did an excellent job and he is a man of integrity.

The job went exactly as stated by Nick and as expected.  Once the deck materials were delivered by Nick's supplier, Nick and his crew went to work removing the old porch and digging the footings for the new support columns.  The village had to make 3 inspections (the footings, the framing, and the finished deck) and the village inspector found no problems during any of these inspections.  Nick and his crew worked quickly and kept the area as clean and neat as can be expected for an exterior job site.  They were careful about keeping the gates closed so our 3 dogs wouldn't get out of the yard when they went out to do their thing.

In addition to the deck, which they completed just before Memorial Day weekend so we could use the new deck for our family gathering, we had Nick and his crew come back in July and remove the dining room window that faced the new deck and replace it with a sliding patio door.  This project too was completed without any problems.

The price for both projects were exactly as Nick had quoted.  We would definitely consider using Biango Construction again if we have additional remodeling/renovation projects.

Met w/Nick in early September to get an estimate on a basement remodel.  He said he'd get back to me w/in the week w/an estimate.  I followed up w/Nick after a couple of weeks regarding the estimate.  He said he had to go out of town but would be back soon and send over an estimate.  I never heard back from him.

I contacted three providers. I was particularly impressed by Biango Construction, as the owner answered his own phone or texts promptly whenever I called. This quote on the job was in the middle. The high quoter never contacted me to follow up, and the third and low-cost provider wasn't an Angie's list member, YET. Unlike him, Nick insisted on using quality materials and paint based upon his experience with others.  We negotiated a few items out of the deal, as we wanted to save cost, and did less visible areas ourselves. Nick was agreeable and non-defensive throughout the process, which was appreciated. 
As for the timing, it was mid-December, and Nick assured us that they would finish construction by Christmas, which they did! The painting was handled over three days, January 6-9, by Nick himself and his carpenter associate as the painters were trapped out of state by weather. He honored both coupons offered by Angie's and the workers were courteous and clean throughout the job, even during the final check by a friend who found a few things to correct. I would recommend Biango Construction for similar work any time.

The project went very well.  There were some additional costs above the original bid, but all were explained clearly and were connected to the permit process or choices that I made.  Nick connected me with subcontractors to help me make choices on fixtures to help keep the costs down.  He was responsive when I had questions and in providing solutions to the small problems that come up during a renovation of the depth.

It went very well.  I purchased a vanity at Lowe's brought it home and after unpacking it the doors were warped.  Then I brought it back and exchanged it for a new one to experience the same frustration.  From there I returned it for a refund.  I talked to Nick Biango and he built a vanity and had his granite contractor install the top/sink to our specification.  What a super looking vanity!

We chose Biango after getting a referral from another Angies List company that was unavailable for the project, and getting quotes from a total of 3 companies. Nick had an approach that I agreed with and thought would work best for our space. His bid was more than one bid and less than the other.
Our staircase was over 100 years old and was both cosmetically and physically in bad shape. Biango tore out the old staircase completely and rebuilt the staircase using mostly new materials along with reusing some old. There were a few bumps along the way, mostly unforeseen issues that arose, but were quickly addressed and remedied jointly. I desired a very well supported step and riser since the original construction did not hold up well, Biango appeased my request with nearly over the top support and reinforcement.
I am a bit of a difficult client, as I have grown up around carpentry and building and have done quite a bit of work on my home myself. I asked lots of questions and always had an opinion - Nick was respectful of my opinion and knowledge and never got annoyed with my extreme involvement in the project.
The only notable point of difficulty came with a subcontractor that came in to stain and finish the staircase. This issue I do not hold against Biango in rating- as they were brought in because Nick was dealing with a family emergency. Once Nick was available, he made sure the subs came back until the issue was rectified. I do wish we would've just waited for Nick to do the finishing himself, but completely understand his desire to finish the project.

I first heard of Nick because my realtor said he had done some good work for some other clients. I eventually hired him to replace the built-in entertainment center in our newly purchased home that was built in 1989. The old built-in was brown, could not accomodate a large HDTV, and falling apart. I'm sure it was sweet in 1989 but it needed replacing. Enter Biango Construction. Right off the bat Nick was extremely responsive and aslo very personable. He's not one of those contractors that is impossible to get a hold of. You know which ones I'm talking about. It's almost as though they're avoiding you. Not Nick. He always answers his phone and never gives excuses. I don't think he was ever late for a meeting. Anyways, I immediately got a good vibe from him from our very first meeting. He has lots of ideas and gets very excited about the project. It's obvious that he loves what he does. Together, we hammered out a plan for what would be done and they got started quickly with tearing out the old built-in.
Danny and Armando (nick's main crew) were very professional and punctual. They were very careful and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Nick was frequently there as well. The major parts of the built-in were built at Nick's shop with his own 2 hands then brought over and installed. During the building process, he would text or e-mail photos of the progress and ask us questions regarding how we would like to proceed (eg, do we want 2 shelves or 3, do you want a door here or leave it open, etc). If I had a concern, he would address it immediately. What struck me most is his nearly obsessive attention to detail. I once remarked to the crew how Nick seems kind of anal. "You have no idea" was the response. Needless to say, when someone is building a 23' long wall of built-ins in the main room of your new dream house, that was a very reassuring answer. To illustrate this, when it was nearly done, i mentioned that one of the drawers didn't close quite right. He came the following saturday by himself and worked on it for about 2 hours until he got it right. He's a perfectionist and it shows in the finished piece.
Now when people come over, there are a lot of oohs and aahs regarding the built-in. Don't let his youthful appearance fool you. Hes been doing this a long time. He is a skilled artisan and he built this thing from scratch with his own two hands. If you need a custom built-in by a highly skilled, honest, personable, and responsive carpenter, I guarantee you can't go wrong with Nick Biango. Thank you Nick, Armando, and Danny!

They tore down our old deck and built us a beautiful large deck. They worked with the Village for all the permits and inspection. _x000D_|_x000D_|Nick is great to work with - came up with a neat design and even saved our 'hummingbird" vine. _x000D_|_x000D_|We will definitely be calling him for our remodeling projects.

Had Nick back to create privacy screens for the deck.  Once again, they were prompt and did a beautiful job.

I can't say enough about the quality of the work and the crew for Biango Construction.  We purchased an older, dated home and wanted all the existing trim and doors replaced as well as refinishing the existing hardwood floors.  Given our schedules the work had to be completed by a specific date.  Originally the completion time was about 10 days but as a result of another project going over schedule, our project got compressed to about 6 days.  Nick and his crew were great with understanding our schedule and still meeting the deadline.  This also included a change in scope when we determined that we needed to demo the existing partially-finished basement and his crew was able to do that and all the originally scoped work by our deadline.  As for the quality - I still am in awe of how great everything looks.  It is evident the amount of pride Nick and his crew take in their work and they were all so professional and personable.  They didn't just treat our home like a job-site but as if it were their own.  There are additional projects that down the road we want done and we will definitely reach out to Nick on those.

Nick and the rest of the crew at Biango Construction are top notch.  Not only was the cost of my project fair, but every single aspect of the job was done in a professional manner. The quality of the work is second to none!  It is very clear they take a lot of pride in the work they do and try very hard to make sure you will be a customer for life and it is no secret they have succeeded because of this.  I am expecting another large project next spring and Biango Construction will be first on my list.

There are very few contractors I've worked with that get an A-grade across the board.  Nick was professional, worked with our schedule, was patient and worked with us to achieve our vision (especially important with moldings, where there are so many options), and left our house as clean as when he arrived every day.  The finished product is beautiful and will be appreciated for many years to come.

Thank you!

Nick was professional during our entire experience. He was on time for every meeting/appointment and every day that he did work. He cleaned up every day so well that you would not have known that he had been there working. the work came in at budget. Nick was great about giving suggestions. Nick takes pride in his work and it shows in the final results. We are thrilled with the work and have already hired nick to do our master bath remodel.

Nick took a blank slate and performed a custom highly skilled service.  He designed the built in cabinets beside my fireplace along with the mantel.  He built and installed them with excellent craftsmanship and material use.  Very professional, diligent, and looks out in the best interests of the customer.  I will be using him again.

Very well- Nick was very responsive. He was on time, very respectful of our home and our time and money. He was onsite the entire time. Did a great job- the stairs look beautiful.

The entire experience with Biango Construction was great. I found out about Biango Construction through a friend and called Nick. He was here the next day. I showed him our problems and the rest is history. They started in about 2 weeks of the initial visit due to his work load. We couldn't be more pleased. Would definitely had them again, in fact our neighbors hired them as well while they were here.

"Biango Construction completed a remodel of my master bath after my previous contractor left me with a complete disaster. Nick is extremely knowledgeable and has excellent workmanship. He's a great communicator and I knew up front exactly what we needed to do to make the necessary changes. He offers great ideas and we were able to extend the shower further for a large walk-in! He is always available when needed. Four years later, my master bath is still looking amazing! He also helped me select and installed beautiful crown molding in my downstairs family room and completed kitchen backsplash. Couldn't be happier! Great quality of work!"

Nick and his team did a great job.  Nick even fixed some warped siding that he noticed before finishing up for the day. 

Biango  Construction
Over approximately an eight month. I had Biango Construction working with me on a complete remodeling/reconstructing job.
 The things that impressed me the very most regarding this company  was there punctuality and cleanliness. It was important to me personally that when I select a contractor they would simply quote "show up". There was not a one time within a several months that this company was not prompt every day when expected. On completion of a day's work everything was in  order. They cleaned up after themselves and  never left my construction site in disarray. These were only just two small factors  that made my experience with them very pleasant. I appreciated that they were very conscientious of my property along with doing an amazing job.  It was a pleasure doing business with them and I would recommend them highly to anyone else who might be in need of a good quality construction company.
 That  truly cares about doing a good job.

Nick was very professional - spent considerable amount of time with us discussing our situation and how to best resolve.  Work was performed over two days, and was done on-time and with high quality.  Nick also arranged for the electrical and roofing work to be performed, which made getting the entire project done much easier on us.  Would recommend to anyone needed deck repair - or carpentry work in general.
