Job was very poorly done. The marble floor is uneven, the marble in the shower slopes and is uneven, grout wasn't done properly, When I requested he fix one of the very uneven tiles on the floor, he had an attitude and told me that it wasn't him, it was that the tiles are uneven in size. Darius pays no attention to detail, and didn't put the finishing touches on my job
Description of Work: Darius renovated my bathroom.

Response from GID Handyman & Renovation Services
I'm confused with the review. I never had a dispute with the homeowner except for a unsolicited person came in when the job was nearly complete. things were never the same. I tried my best to go above and beyond with doing extra work that was never part of the deal such as new sub-floor, plumbing without ever charging extra for the job. removed tile and replaced tile. Also had a conversation about how the job was going and was stated to me that it looked beautiful. I'm hearing this after 2 months without ever reaching out to me that the client was not satisfied. I would help my clients in any way i can. I guarantee my work and take my work extremely serious. I'm truly saddened that it came to this.
GID / Darius did an AMAZING job. During the initial consult, we spent a lot of time together discussing what I had in mind for the guest bath. We went back and forth for 90 minutes and Darius was easy to talk to the entire time. By the time they left I was comfortable moving forward on the project and had all my questions answered. During the project, they were very professional and showed up on time every day. Communication was excellent throughout the project. GID holds themselves up to the highest expectations and guarantees their work. Living in a condo with close neighbors, and remodeling noisy as it is, I think GID cared more about my neighbors than I did! Daily clean-up was excellent. If I had questions throughout the project they were very kind in listening. As for the work? Absolutely visually perfect, and I can be anal about things. The work WAS NOT RUSHED and was DONE WITH CARE. I saw how much care went into every step and no corners were cut. They are the kind of team you don't need to stand over, which is a load off my mind. The master bathroom work was an afterthought after the great job they did on the entire guest bath. I quickly asked they go right into the next bathroom when they finished. They waited until I had a 100% functional guest bathroom before moving on to the master. When I received a new quote for the master bath shower I left the first scheduled payment and left for vacation. When I got back, the master bath was looking amazing. Again, the tile work was EXCELLENT. In both bathrooms, I requested 1ft vertical mosaic in line with the shower head and 12x24 tile (vertical) everywhere else. The detail was so much so that they aligned the 12x24s with the mosaic on the opposite side of the shower stalls for a perfect mirror image. Look I can go on all day about the details on what they got right, but overall GID is on point and I would highly recommend them. I have plans for more with them in the next 60 days. Finding a good "Handyman" isn't as easy as you would think, and I'm glad I have someone to trust with my next projects. Thank you.
Description of Work: I needed my Guest bathroom completely remodeled down to the tile and bathtub getting ripped out. The guest bath tub area needed to be tiled to the ceiling and new tile laid on the floor. I needed a new vanity, mirror, wall storage, and a complete paint job. I also needed the recessed wall vanity closed up and covered. I later decided I wanted my master bath shower stall and glass door ripped out and replaced with a full tile and a new glass door.

They were excellent, because they treated me like a valued person. I knew exactly what they were doing. Contacted me before and there were no surprises in the cost of the material. He told me what he was doing every step of the way and asked me how he wanted it done every time. Gave me honest answers through out the service. Very nice, professional, and clean.

The first day, Darius covered everything with plastic so the rest our house would not get dusty from the bathroom renovation. Darius always came on time when he was working for us, even came on the weekends. Even though we ran into some major structural problems from the old builder, Darius came up with some great support ideas and fixed all our issues so we can pass inspections.From picking out the tile to the color of the paint that would look wonderful in our bathroom, Darius had great ideas. Please don't pass up the opportunity to have work done by Darius he was wonderful and yes he will be back to work on some more projects in our home. Our new shower is amazing!

After meeting with a total of five contractors, three of whom I found on Angie's List, I knew right away that Darius would be my choice. His pricing was right in the mix of the others and most importantly, he wasn't a sales guy. This is his company, he's actively involved on the job site every, single day and he's not running multiple jobs at once. I always felt he had my best interest in mind and he and his assistants were VERY, VERY, VERY neat and tidy. Did I mention he was neat? We've previously had tons of problems with other companies that make a complete mess of your house, bang walls and all they can do is say they're sorry whilst I'm looking at a hole in my wall. Darius was the complete opposite. Bottom line is that you should at least interview Darius and give him an opportunity to provide a quote. You won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to using Darius on my kitchen next as he has a great eye for design that even my wife appreciated!
Description of Work: I had my bathroom completely gutted and rebuilt by Darius. Apart from being an excellent, hands-on contractor, he also brings excellent taste and knowledge about how a room should flow and be organized. This is an innate quality that I find most others don't have. His workmanship is top notch and he makes sure to leave every day as clean and neat as possible.

Darius was very professional. He was knowledgeable and immediately knew what needed to be done. He made good suggestions and explained the work very well. He provided many helpful advice. He helped with tile selection etc and the pros and cons of different choices. He worked with me and discussed foreseeable issues and suggested good solutions (there was a layer of another tile as it turned out after the first layer was removed). He genuinely cares about the doing high quality work, and the finish was excellent. The bathroom looks beautiful. The entire process was very smooth from tile shopping to finish. I would hire him again.
Description of Work: Replace the tile for tub enclosure with mosaic tiles and boarder; replace shower fixtures etc and tub. Remove soffit above shower tub. Replace the toilet. replace the bathroom floor tile, paint the entire bathroom. changing all shut-off valves
Darius and his team completed two projects in our home in Summit NJ. The most challenging one was adding a shower to a half bathroom which had little extra space available. Darius had a very good eye for what had to happen to make the bathroom both look good and be functional. Two main attributes of GID make them stand out from any other contractor we've worked with. First, even after a major demolition job, the work area was very clean at the end of the day. We had people visit our house during the renovation and comment that they wouldn't have known work was being done in our house had they not seen the area, because of how clean the work site was left after each day. Second, (and the most important from our perspective) was the fact that when issues came up, such as vanities, toilets, etc. not fitting in our space or not looking good given the room to work in, Darius made us being happy with the end result his #1 priority. To meet this end, he offered to do any work necessary to make that happen without charging us extra, no questions asked. This, in our opinion, is a company that exhibits true professionalism and is out to earn lasting customer relationships. In addition, the scope of this job entailed performing electrical, construction, and plumbing work. All inspections on this work passed without any issues.
Description of Work: Darius's company completed 2 jobs in our house: 1) They took a half bath in our home and converted it to a full bath with a shower 2) They renovated a 4 season porch with new walls (ripped out old walls, installed new sheetrock, molding and paint) and installed a tile floor after pulling up the carpet and reinforcing our existing floor with a new cement-board floor.

Provider asked for more detail so we could move forward such as when I was looking to have work done. I emailed and said within about a week to start...his reply was.."oh. Im booked for a month" strange how he gave the impression of moving forward when he had a date yet to only see he was booked for a month. I would have much rather had him be upfront and state he was busy for a month fatber than the back and forth. I wouldnt use him for this as communication is key and if the onset he cannot, then the future he will not prolerly.

It went very well. They're very professional, cleaned out after, took about 2 days and did a good job in cleaning out in between and at the end, so they're very neat, and they did a very good work for what thought was a reasonable small price. Other than the fact they're professional, I think they offered a service that was with reasonable value. He was responsive, I called him three times and either got back to me within an hour or answered his cellphone. He was on time every morning. We did use him again.

Response from GID Handyman & Renovation Services
This was a store front deal and was actually for $111.00. I never agreed to this deal and angieslist was suppose to reimburse you for this. Angieslist had ask me to call you and try and work this out. So I called several times, left a message and you finally got back to me. Then we agreed on a date witch you had to cancel. I told you I would try and call you back to reschedule, but if you didn't hear from me you should give me a call. The other time I heard from you was the deal was about to expire and I told you I would still honor it even after it expired but I can only do it when I was free. My schedule has been very busy and sorry I couldn't fit you in, but I do believe I have been more then fair as far as not setting a deadline and would still have honored this deal when I never agreed to it and you should have been refunded in the first place. I'm sorry that you are the one who loses out.

After we purchased the deal, the contractor called us within a day to schedule the work. He was accommodating of our schedule and did the work for us on a Saturday. Since the room we wanted painted was more than the one allowed in the deal, he charged us $70 more which we thought was fine. He helped empty the room, took out the fixtures and covered the floor. Very neat and clean. Will use his services in the future.

Darias offered to go shopping with me for the materials; tile, fixtures, vanity, shower doors, etc. I have never completely renovated a bathroom before and after looking at his portfolio of all of the ones he has done I thought he would be a good resource. I took him up on his offer. We spent two consecutive days shopping and buying stuff, he knew all the places to go and get good prices too! He has excellent taste and he actually came up with the design idea for the accent tile in the stall shower. It came out absolutely magnificant. The bathroom looks twice the size, he is amazing. Not only does he have great design ideas, but he works hard, fast, neat, and pays very close attention to detail. He will not stop until the job is done and done to perfection. You can be sure that when he is doing the work it will not only look wonderful on the outside, it will be correct on the inside. He DOES NOT CUT corners. These days, in my opinion, that is a rare commodity.
Description of Work: He completely renovated, (down to the studs), my bathroom. I paid for materials, the $3500.00 reflects his labor for the complete renovation of the bathroom. The materials cost me about 3,000. The total cost of my master bathroom was 6500.00; labor and materials

I thought it was a great deal and it fit right in my budget. He emailed me right away when I bought the deal. I responded right away. Then it took him a month to call me back. He said he was quite busy, so that he would not be holding me to the expireation date of the deal. Then, we got disconnected. The next day I sent him an email and told him I was appreciative that he would not hold me to the date, but I needed it done by September. He responded curtly, “I cannot come by to see the job yet, because I am busy for the next several weeks." He also said that he would not need to see the job before hand, and would just be scheduling the service. I am simply concerned because he is not holding himself to the expireation date of the deal, and also because I do not think painters should typically do a job without seeing it first.

He initially contacted me but I had to call him back. I called twice and he told me that he was busy both times and that he would get back in touch with me. He never did get back after those calls and the project isn’t a major need at this point so I’ve decided to get a refund.

Darius was very patient and listened to my concern. We made a few trips to tile stores and he explained the pros and cons of each materials. When a problem came up he was able to fix the issue after notifying me immediately. He recommended a sliding glass door which we ended up doing. He was very knowledgeable in design and materials. He was very easy to work with.

Unable to schedule due to hectic time line.
Description of Work: Contacted GID to get some tile work done in 2 small bathrooms and kitchen floor. Darius showed up the next day on a Saturday to provide an estimate as agreed upon. He spent time going over what he will be doing, what will work in each bathroom, and the kitchen. He even provided help with getting kitchen material. Darius' explanations and experience made me feel reassured that the work would have been done properly. Unfortunately, would have loved to use GID, but my schedule prevents it this time. But next time I need work done, will definitely be hiring him when there is more of a lead time for me.

I had the GID person come over to my townhome for estimation of backsplash and painting work. The consultantion and estimations provided for backsplash and painting work were truly professional. However we did not go forward with backsplash installation as we didnt find too much merit in doing so for small kitchen. We did have a couple of other contractors come in provide thier guidance / estimates but by far GID was most professional and had excellent idea of work needed. In future i wouldnt think twise to call these guys when I need
