"My parents and I live in a old brick apartment building in Hoboken that is from the 1880s. The bathroom in our apartment had not been updated since the 1940s. We needed help ASAP. We checked out Cesar s page and wanted to hire him immediately. The reviews speak for themselves. When he came into our apartment to give us a quote we knew that this was contractor we needed to get the job done. Cesar is affordable, friendly, and very accommodating to any issues or concerns you have before starting the project. Two massive issues with our project were that my dad has spinal & walking issues, so we needed the floors clear of all tools and materials at the end of the each day so that father could walk efficiently through the apartment. The other big issue was that we only have 1 bathroom, so Cesar agreed to work with us on pulling the toilet off and on as every day finished so that we did not have to leave our building to use the toilet. Him and his crew are the best and take pride in their work so that owner is happy with the final result. We brought the bathroom down to the bare bones and rebuilt it back up. I worked with him every step of the way to make sure that he needed all materials to get the job done in the time we needed. This project was an intense remodel with some of the hardest demo and substrate materials that an old bathroom can have. He didn t think anything of it. He has veteran experience in the field and this remodel only took 3 weeks. We are very impressed with Cesar s craftsmanship and professionalism and we will be hiring him again for any future interior projects."

"Our house's new siding was expertly installed by Chris and his crew. They were inexpensive and easy to get in touch with. Excellent work, and I would be delighted to collaborate with them once more in the future."

"He was on time and the contractor fixed our attic door in a time of need."

BUYER BEWARE.  I hate long reviews...but I wish someone rang the warning bell with a review of their experiences before we used Ernest & Sons.

To be fair In the end the job was done--but at what cost?  We worked with Jose a few years back to replace our driveway.  Jose and team did an excellent job.  So when we wanted to have our patio and walkway done we called Ernest and sons again.  This time we dealt with Ernest.  Initially he was nice and helpful showing me other patios completed.  We were very specific on timing to finish the project he was in agreement understanding weather delays could impact the completion. 

Once the contract was signed ...communications on their side stopped.  We had to call several times to see when the project would start. Once the job started the guys on site were nice but they did not speak much English and there no project manager to check in to see how things were going. 



When the job was done there was light rain and we noticed pools of water on the patio.  I put paper cups in the standing water and took pictures.  I contacted Ernest he came out and never conceded there was a problem as he looked at the standing water.  However he sent a crew back (again we had not paid yet) to remove the pavers and ensure it was level. They removed pavers in different areas 5 TIMES to level the patio.  While I truly appreciate their efforts...why didn't the first crew simply get it right.

DAMAGES TO OUR YARD AND NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.  In the process of building our patio they drove trucks onto our yard

and the neighbors damaging both yards.  I immediately took pictures and called Ernest--he assured me all damages would be taken care of.  When the job was complete his guys put seeds down and we paid in full.  However almost a month later there were only spots of grass and both yards still damaged.

I called again sent more pictures and he sent another crew that told my husband they were putting  down the 'good stuff this time' (really). We watered the lawns twice a day same as before...the damage is still there are now we have to pay out of pocket to fix our lawn and our neighbors! 



ICING ON THE CAKE.  Company called and asked if Ernest could bring a potential customer to see the patio. My husband agreed assuming he could talk to Ernest about damages.  Ernest was no show...they gave the prospects our address...and to our surprise two strangers walked into our backyard without even ringing the doorbell. I do not fault the couple but Ernest and Sons for handling this entire job so unprofessionally.

If you still choose to use this merchant ...good luck and get in writing how damaged will be handled.

"Repair and paint walls, crown molding door and trims. Very detailed and made sure everything was going the way we wanted. Price was reasonable. Already booked for more projects."

"If you should choose one carpenter/contractor you should definitely pick John. I made a few mistakes with ordering things and John and Fabio were able to work around it. I ordered the wrong size door and they were able to open up the wall a little. The metal door jamb I ordered was too wide and John was able to cut it down with an angle grinder. They take great care and pride in the work they do. My walls, ceilings and floors weren't level and I had 7 1/2" baseboard and crown moulding; they made sure to make it as straight as possible with shims so it would look more even. My windows weren't square either but they were able to square that out with shims as well when they trimmed out the windows. There were a few complications but I thought the price for the work performed was extremely fair and they can hang doors really fast. Now I can lock my front door with one hand instead of two because he installed the new door straight (didn't even have to shim it) and also installed a beautiful door handle I bought from Baldwin."

"Carmelo and his team did excellent work, paying attention to detail, going above and beyond Highly recommend!"

"Luis was fantastic throughout the whole process. From the appointment for an estimate, through providing his license and insurance information and execution of the project, he was always on time, very responsive and communicated the progress of work daily. He was very detailed, always extremely courteous and pleasant to work with. All his work was impeccable, he was able to provide advice when needed and was creative in addressing unforeseen issues (structural problems with the project site). I would definitely hire him for future projects and recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable contractor."
