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."

"Hiring Tom and Roger is one of the best decisions I've ever made! I was introduced to Tom and Roger when I discovered a mice problem in my apartment that my building (the handymen, super, and others) tried but was unable to fix. (Tom and Roger were recommended by an architect friend who hired them for his own apartment.) Tom and Roger came in with gusto: they heard my concerns, understood the problem, took it to heart, and treated it like it was their own. They got to work exploring my apartment, leaving no surface or crevice unexplored. They found holes that the building had missed. They sealed everything, even the tiniest holes. They never once played down the problem or disregarded it as something unimportant - rather, they approached it with complete seriousness and even spoke with an exterminator to make sure that they were caring for it to the utmost degree (they even made suggestions like putting all of my dried goods in the fridge as to not leave a single stone unturned that could continue to attract mice). Ultimately, they solved the problem (when no one else had!)....and it was clear that they wouldn't stop in my apartment until the entire problem was addressed and done. I really appreciated that they came in with such a thorough and holistic approach. I loved working with them so much that I hired Tom and Roger to work on a bunch of other tasks in my home (sealing floorboards, caulking the tub, fixing grout in the kitchen and bathroom, fixing up a home office, staining the deck, insulating around the radiator, and so so much more - I had a long list!). The items were each different and they knew how to do them all. There is nothing that these guys can't do! Everything that Tom and Roger worked on was done with great care and attention to detail. They firmly believe that any work should be done by these principles - it's part of what makes them stand apart from the rest. To boot, they are lovely people! It was truly joyful working and having conversations with/getting to know them while we were in the apartment together. Working with Tom and Roger was one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Every day, they showed up early (early!) for the job. Throughout the day, they checked in to ensure that my list of priorities was being met (even at the end of the day, they didn't leave without checking that they had tended to my priorities.) I appreciated how they continually made the effort to ensure that we were exactly on the same page. I never felt rushed. I always felt heard. Truly, working with both Tom and Roger was nothing but wonderful. My only regret is that I don't have more jobs to give them - the experience was so great that I wish I could keep working with them! It goes without saying that I will work with Tom and Roger again in a heartbeat (in fact, they're the only contractors I ever want to work with moving forward!) and recommend them without hesitation to my closest friends (in fact, I already have!). Hire Tom and Roger - your experience will be the best and your home will look gorgeous. You will be so SO happy that you went with them!"

Remodel Design questions, answered by experts

This is definitely a matter of personal taste, but certain spaces might be better suited to recessed lighting than others. Areas where you need good task lighting, such as the laundry room, kitchen, or home office could be good candidates for recessed LED lighting. You also might choose to use it for a sleek, subtle lighting option in a living room where you want to highlight other aspects of the space.

Renovating just before a move is worth it in cases of severe damage or decay—or if you're actually just making home improvements to flip and sell a property. If your home is in otherwise good condition, don't burden yourself with additional tasks when you're already busy packing. And if something needs to be fixed, try to plan to do it at least a few months before your big move.

A simple cosmetic flip with minor repairs can take as little as a few weeks, while more extensive projects that involve structural changes or permit requirements can take several months. The time it takes to renovate a house ranges between three and six months, depending on factors like the extent of renovations, financing, and market conditions.

Many homeowners view sunken living rooms as an outdated architectural feature, as they were prevalent in 1960s and 1970s styles of homes, but have since fallen out of favor. Some homeowners still enjoy the coziness of a sunken living room, but most find it to be an obsolete feature. It’s possible to fill in a sunken living room, but the cost typically tops $10,000.

Redfin reported in 2021 that homes with fireplaces were listed on the market for around 13% more than the national median sale price, but this doesn’t mean that they actually sold for that much. While homebuyer demand reigns supreme, the actual ROI on a fireplace depends on various factors, including size, type, and material.
