"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."

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."

With US HOME / STARS AND STRIPES has been servicing homeowners for more than 25 years. Customer preference and priorities are always first. We're very timely with our work and never lose attention to detail. Give us a call for your free estimate.Deal direct with owner. FULLY LICENSED: Suffolk County Nassau County

"I can’t recommend Stars and Stripes highly enough for anyone considering a home renovation. From big projects like installing new countertops and a backsplash to smaller details like fixing the track on my sliding closet doors, everything was completed with exceptional care and attention to detail. What really sets them apart, though, is the trust factor. I’m not someone who’s usually comfortable leaving people alone in my home—but with Stars and Stripes, I never once had to worry. They were respectful, reliable, and I always felt my home was in good hands. It's rare to find that kind of peace of mind with contractors, and it's what will keep me coming back for future projects."

Gaudioso Contracting: Your trusted partner for all your remodeling needs in the Tri-State Area. From start to finish, our experienced team delivers top-notch craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. Contact us today for a stress-free and successful home renovation project.

"Nightmare from start to finish. Buckle in. We hired Gaudioso to do a 1-bedroom renovation. They submitted the lowest bid after multiple site visits and design reviews. Once signed, communication problems went rampant. Countless unacknowledged emails, texts, and calls. Weeks of delay for COIs, quotes, and updates. They couldn’t bring brick samples to our building because “it was raining.” After months of working through approvals, they delivered a revised contract that was DOUBLE their original —151% higher—knowing we were locked in. Pure bait-and-switch. They will say the scope of work changed. I will happily share the original designs and final versions and challenge anyone to point out the differences. When I asked for more consistent updates, Anthony called me directly, not to apologize, but to take offense at the tone of my email. He also screamed “I’m not your f***king dude!!!” when I dared utter a colloquial term like “dude” out of frustration for the direction of the call. To this day, a year after signing the contract, I have yet to receive a schedule, calendar, or overall work plan. Once work began, change orders piled up. Tens of thousands of dollars for items like crown and wall moldings, all clearly depicted in the drawings since day one. If I protested, I was told further discussion would add time and they would “put the breaks on progress until it’s sorted,” weaponizing our extended time away from home. Change orders culminated with the hot water tank, an item Gaudioso was paid $3,350 to move one foot. The tank had worked perfectly before this project. After we moved back in, we noticed the tank leaking and notified Gaudioso. Knowing we were in a bind and living in the unit at this point, they submitted a change order of $4,200 to install a new tank after THEY broke the old one. Inexcusable extortion. When I said no, their foreman pushed the idea like a used car salesman, offering to knock off a few hundred dollars if I said yes that day. Finally, we noticed water pooling up around the base of the toilet. I called their plumber and messaged Gaudioso on an email account monitored by their entire staff. No reply. So, I called an emergency plumber who came, moved the toilet, and found a massive, congealed mess of work materials (plastic bags, tape, work rags, debris) shoved down the drain. It was clearly beyond anything accidental. See pictures. Anthony will say that other contractors were on site during the project and could have done it (he is referring to a carpenter I had cutting and sanding wood outside of the unit for a few hours). He will deny everything else. To which I say, please let me prove it. Find me on LinkedIn, shoot me a message. I will happily share every single email, text, picture, and contract. After two weeks of no response to my duress message, and only reaching out to ask for money, I told Gaudioso I am terminating the contract. Anthony called me and spent 26 minutes screaming, cursing, and insulting, at one point adding, and I quote: “I’ll found out exactly where you work, I’ll find out exactly who you deal with, I’ll find out who your colleagues are, I'll tell them exactly what a piece of sh*t you are. Cause that’s what you are, a piece of sh*t. F*cking dishonorable piece of sh*t. What goes around comes around, don’t forget. If it doesn’t happen to you, it’ll happen to somebody in your family. You’ll see. Karma’s a bi*ch.” Does that make you feel safe and excited to work with Gaudioso? Protect your wallet, protect your time, protect your home, and protect your family. Choose any of the other dozens of honest contractors in NYC. And please reach out directly if you want proof of any of this – I don’t wish this experience on anyone else."

FAQs for marble and granite service projects in Farmingdale, NY

Installing a marble backsplash costs about $2,200 on average, ranging from $600 to $6,000, depending on the variety of marble and the labor costs to prep and install. Common types of marble used for backsplashes include: 

  • Makrana: $12 per square foot

  • Pink: $25 per square foot

  • Carrara: $40 per square foot

  • Statuatrio: $50 per square foot

  • Cultured: $65 per square foot

  • Travertine: $75 per square foot

  • Danby: $80 per square foot

  • Calacatta: $180 per square foot

Marble countertops cost $3,000 on average, ranging from about $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the type of marble, square footage, location, and whether you use tiles or slabs. Another major cost factor to consider is the grading of the marble, which determines its quality level.

Use this grading system when selecting marble for countertops:

  • Grade A: Nearly perfect with subtle veining

  • Grade B: Minor flaws such as pits, fissures, or blotches

  • Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair

  • Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors

Granite and marble compare well against each other in terms of price, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Deciding which one is better depends on your personal style and preference. Both materials resist damage like chips and cracks well. You should seal both material types against staining and etching, but they’re still susceptible if oil, wine, coffee, tomato sauce, or juice are left on the countertop long enough. As material and installation costs range similarly, the deciding factor is your budget, design, and preferences.

Installing granite kitchen countertops costs about $3,250, ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the quantity and quality of the granite, use of granite tile or granite slabs, the type of granite, and its color and texture. Varieties of granite include:

  • Alaska white: $35 per square foot

  • Ubatuba: $30–$60 per square foot

  • Silver cloud: $35–$40 per square foot

  • Absolute black: $45–$60 per square foot

  • Black galaxy: $50–$70 per square foot

  • Blue Louise: $70–$100 per square foot

  • Crema Bordeaux: $80 per square foot

  • Solarius: $60 per square foot

Overall, granite tends to cost more than marble. Prices for each material will fluctuate depending on the source of the stone, your location, shipping costs, and the thickness of the material. Labor to install marble or granite countertops typically ranges from $35 to $45 per hour. Granite and marble tile and slab costs compare as follows:

  • Marble tile: $7–$10

  • Granite tile: $5–$15

  • Marble slab: $25–$60

  • Granite slab: $50–$100
