"This review is long overdue! We had the pleasure of working with Robert on renovating our new house from top to bottom almost a year ago, and we are still thrilled with the results. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality has created a deep trust in Robert. He is top of our list and we have recommended him and his team to all our family and friends. We knew he would be a good fit from the initial consultation. Roberto managed everything with care and great attention to detail. Robert and his team executed our vision so well and everyone who has been over have showered us with compliments at how good everything looks. Throughout the renovation Roberto maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated at every stage. They were always punctual, courteous, and willing to answer any questions we had. His team was respectful of our home and ensured that the worksite was clean and organized at the end of each day. The quality of workmanship has proven to be outstanding and the custom work will last us for years to come. Another impressive aspect of working with Roberto and team was their ability to stay on schedule and within budget. They provided a clear timeline at the beginning of the project and adhered to it, completing the work on time without any unexpected costs. Even after the project was completed, Roberto continued to provide exceptional customer service and followed up to ensure we were satisfied with the work. We highly recommend Roberto to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor. Our new house is beautiful and suits us perfectly thanks to Roberto and his team!"

"RUN FAR AWAY FROM ALLIED AND TOM. Tom took my money and did not complete the renovations as per our contract. He lied about having a licensed electrician to do electrical work, it was just one of his workers who's not licensed. I paid for a dumpster and when it was delivered by tom it was already half full from another allied job and I was asked to pay the full amount of $950. Tom didn't listen to anything I said regarding the work I requested and he changed my design and did work that was cheaper for him. I was priced for one of my ceiling's to be ripped out and reinstalled with new sheetrock, Tom waited until I was away on business then he installed sheetrock on top of the bad sheetrock and told me he ripped out the old sheetrock and installed the new sheetrock, I found out when my EC cut holes to install lights and we found 2 layers of sheetrock preventing the lights from being able to be installed. Allied construction is a cheap, sneaky company who will steal your money and breach your contract. Do not hire these people Tom is a lair. Tom wore a gun in my house on his hip and told me "I use this to get paid by customer who don't want to pay". Tom left live 120v wires hanging out of the walls and ceiling, he removed a banister and didn't replace it for 3 weeks making my home very unsafe for me and my 9 year old son."

Our mission is to service our customers in a prompt and professional manner. We do not consider a home improvement or remodeling project complete until the work is finished, the job site is clean, and the customer is completely satisfied. Licensed & Insured since 1997

"This is an overdue review. I hired Bernie and his team for a kitchen remodel in June 2021, after he did an excellent job with my three bathrooms in 2020. The kitchen remodel was also excellent. His works are efficient, hardworking and clean. My remodel took two weeks, as he had quoted and for the exact price he had quoted. I would hire him and his team again and I referred them to a coworker for her bathroom project. She was also very pleased with their work."

With over 25 years experience, family owned and operated. We are a home improvement contractor that pride ourselves on being available for our customers, standing behind our product, service and labor. Focusing on kitchen and bathroom remodeling in the New York City and Brooklyn area working on brownstone homes and apartment renovations.

"Mark took a deposit from me and then never followed up on submitting the proposal I signed to my co-op and getting approval. Finally almost a year later, I asked for the deposit back, and he said he would mail immediately after briefly trying to convince me to still let him do the job, because it was simply "out of sight out of mind". That was 2 years ago. I'm filing a small claims case against him/the company tomorrow."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with George for the renovation of my apartment in Queens, NY, and I cannot sing his praises enough. From start to finish, George demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication to ensuring my vision was not only realized but exceeded. One of the most impressive aspects of working with George was his unwavering commitment to timeliness. Every deadline was met with precision, and the project progressed seamlessly thanks to his meticulous planning and execution. Moreover, George showcased an incredible knack for resourcefulness, always finding innovative solutions to any challenges that arose throughout the renovation process. His ability to think outside the box not only saved time and money but also ensured that the final result was nothing short of spectacular. What truly set George apart, however, was his exceptional communication skills. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process in a way that was easy for me to understand, alleviating any concerns or confusion I may have had along the way. His transparency and willingness to educate his clients are truly commendable. As for the design itself, I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. George managed to perfectly capture my vision while incorporating his own unique flair and expertise, resulting in a space that not only looks stunning but also functions flawlessly for my lifestyle. In conclusion, I cannot recommend George highly enough. If you are looking for an architect who is not only talented and knowledgeable but also a pleasure to work with, look no further than George. My experience with him was nothing short of exceptional, and I am beyond grateful for the beautiful transformation he brought to my home."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Yes. Many manufacturers make stair treads that you can install over carpeted stairs without needing to do any cutting or drilling. Stair treads can also be installed on wood, marble, and other stair surface materials. Just be sure to double-check the information for the specific product you’re buying to ensure its adhesive or installation process will work with the type of stairs you have.

Stair runners are often easier to install than a standard carpet because the latter must be cut to fit the stairs with extra steps taken to prevent fraying at the edges. Stair runners offer extra decorative options, padding, and traction to reduce the risk of falls. They can also offer a nice way to transition from one flooring type, like cement or epoxy floors to softer carpeting on an upper story of the home.

The most comfortable height depends on you and your household, but most railings are between 32 inches and 40 inches. To be more granular, disability requirements require railing heights to be between 34 inches and 38 inches high. For this reason—and to remain compliant—many people find these heights perfectly acceptable and stay within these ranges.

There are a lot of ways you can get your basement stairs looking nice, but the best options are installing laminate plank flooring or painting the risers, staining the treads, and installing a carpet runner. Vinyl flooring is less involved but will be more expensive, and both options are suitable for most DIYers.

The same rules apply for decks and balconies. Balcony guardrails should also be at least 36 inches and up to 42 inches tall. Additionally, they should be able to support a certain amount of weight without collapsing—200 pounds of horizontal load or 100 pounds vertical load and 50 pounds horizontal load simultaneously. 

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
