John has over 35 years in high-end general contracting and carpentry. He has been in business on his own for nearly 25 years under the John Michaels Contracting and iRenovate names with dozens of clients in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island and New Jersey, specializing in kitchen and bathroom remodeling, brownstone renovation / restoration, structural repairs, window and door replacement and deck construction/repair. Your home is your most important asset. It is the place where your children take their first steps, where you have birthday parties and graduations, New Years and Independence Day celebrations. Your home is also a reflection of you, your personality and your aspirations. At John Michaels Contracting, we look to partner with homeowners rather than working for them. John will meet with you and your family, take the time to understand both your goals and your budget and create a personalized plan that is appropriate for you.

"I hired John Michael Contracting to remodel a home I purchased and it needed a new kitchen, 3 baths, flooring and refacing of walls. John was extremely efficient and professional. His crew was very clean and from the demo to the finish, John made sure to use only high quality material while always giving me options that were in line with my budget. I highly recommend John for any project. He is fair and he completed the job within the time I needed it completed. He and his crew was always at the house on time."

We offer full service design and construction needs. Which encompasses the clients design through collaboration, experience, and quality work. Our service ranges from interior renovations, additions, kitchens, basements, and bathrooms to trim work, custom cabinetry, tables, bar tops, doors and windows. Our owner and operator, Ryan has over twenty -years experience in the construction industry. His background in architecture, design, construction, and project management sets him apart from other competitors. He'll tell his clients, "it all starts with a sketch, from there anything is possible". For your next project, go with Indigo!

"A positive experience all around! My first renovation, I was unclear about many aspects of the contracting process, let alone the actual work that needed to be done. Ryan is an excellent communicator--a fact clear from his first visit and which helped us choose him for the job--and I felt at ease throughout the project, always on top of what was going on in my house, and able to make informed decisions along the way. Indigo delivered exactly as promised, reliably on schedule. Ryan and all his crew seemed to work efficiently and tirelessly, and were always polite and respectful of our property and privacy, in what was at times a crowded little house. We got a price we consider fair, and know was competitive. And we are very happy with the new bathroom. Looks great!"

"I’ve been a customer of Wilber’s for several years. Up till now I’ve always found them to be reasonable in price, professional, reliable and trustworthy. I don’t know what’s happened but, they are no longer the company they used to be. I recently hired Wilbers to repair a loose newel post at the bottom of my stairs. When Danny the estimator came he explained that it might be an easy fix or more involved if they needed to install a new 4X4 interior post. Though I requested that he provide estimates for both scenarios he only sent the estimate for the worst case scenario. I let that go because I trusted that they would do the right thing should it prove to be an easy fix. When they arrived it turned out that all that was needed was to replace the wooden board in the basement with a 2 ft. 2x4 and tighten the bolt that runs inside the post. The workers were here for 1 hour and for this Wilber’s decided that a fair price was $820. It seemed absolutely outrageous to me that they would charge me $820 to tighten a bolt so I tried reaching out to Wilber 3 times and asked that he call me back to discuss. Well he never called me back. I can only assume that he knows full well that he did is wrong and is unable to justify his outrageous pricing. It’s sad that Wilber thinks this is how you should treat a loyal customer and it’s certainly disappointing to discover what an unprofessional and unethical person he is. I certainly will never utilize the services of Wilbers ever again and I would caution anyone thinking of hiring them to think twice. Wilber is a man that lacks integrity and therefore someone you cannot trust to do business with."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Cupping and bowing are both types of wood warping, but they affect the board in different ways. Cupping happens when the edges of a board curl upward or downward, creating a concave or convex shape across its width. Conversely, bowing is when the board curves along its length, forming a gentle arc. 

Yes, you can replace the frame around a window by completing either a partial replacement or a full replacement. With a partial replacement, your window specialist will remove the trim around the window and replace or repair just the damaged portion. For a full replacement, your tech will need to remove the window, replace the frame, and then reinstall the window.
