Get matched with top subcontractors in Harlem, NY

"We did an almost-gut renovation of the top floor apartment of a brownstone building in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. Scott Chatel was not the only contractor we solicited, but his vision of the job and his pricing were the most realistic. Scott is very easy to deal with. He was available for consultation both during and outside regular business hours. While he had several jobs going at once, his son Paul was in charge of our renovation, and one or the other of them was always available to discuss the construction and to answer questions. Scott did not let little glitches get in the way, and he took care of minor problems without extra charge. For example, we needed to move everything out of the apartment for the renovation, and on the start date we still needed to get rid of some furniture items. Scott's demolition guys took care of moving everything out. We had a tight 10-week schedule to make, and Scott was sensitive to getting the job done as scheduled. Scott met with us to schedule the timing for when different items (bathroom fixtures, appliances, etc.) needed to arrive both so they'd be available when needed, and also to make sure they were not in the way too early. It is impossible to anticipate everything that can crop up during a project, and Scott was flexible in dealing with the smaller issues and accommodating in dealing with the larger ones. The major unforeseen issue we faced was that our subfloor was in worse shape than anticipated, and needed to be rebuilt before the new floor could be laid on top. Despite the extra work, Scott stuck to the overall schedule to finish on time. Scott was helpful with design suggestions, such as adding a small soffit over some of the kitchen cabinets and creating a bar area by building some shelves in a corner. Scott's electrical, plumbing, and tile subcontractors all did good work. (Initially the tile work in the master bath was not up to snuff, but Scott had the tile contractor return, and he did an excellent job fixing everything.) Scott made sure to clean up the work area and the entire building's hallways that got dusty from the work. Scott returned at a mutually convenient time to take care of everything on our "punch list," and we anticipate one more visit (a full year later) to handle one or two smaller items that have cropped up. In a century-old brownstone, no corner is exactly square, and no surface is perfectly level. Scott's crew did a skillful and professional job of working with the building's quirks to make the work look right. We are very happy with the quality of the workmanship. He built closets to our specifications; he fit a bathtub into an area that previously held an oversize stall shower; he fit recessed lighting around existing skylights. Overall, we think we received great value: very good work at a fair price. We think Scott is a gem."

"Excellent contractors! We keep hiring them. They are extremely efficient. And they do it all. They worked on our bk condo by adding a staircase and building a second floor from scratch., as well as a total kitchen remodel. They also did a complete cosmetic update renovation to my mom’s house in queens. You know you have great contractors when you go back to them to get more work done."

"I hired BEX to paint my kitchen. Bex was very quick to provide COI and meet my building requirements. His team did a great job painting the kitchen. I highly recommend BEX Contracting."

"Just finished my kitchen reno with KBR and I?m seriously impressed. The team was super professional but also just really easy to deal wit which makes a big difference when you?re living through construction. They helped me make smart choices without ever being pushy, and everything came out exactly how I pictured it. If you?re looking for a contractor you can actually trust, these are your people !"

"Working with Gaudioso Contracting made my kitchen renovation so much easier than I expected: From planning to completion. One of the many great benefits in working with these folks is that they made helpful design suggestions, and use a terrific local cabinet maker - I had been worried about supply chain issues holding up the project - but cabinets, counter delivery and tile backsplash installations went so smoothly under Luis' (the foreman's) supervision. All the folks at the main office were very helpful and patient in answering my numerous questions. This project was done during one of the many heat waves, and the workers were diligent and cheerful. I'm so happy with the results, the kitchen is really transformed into a lovely workspace. I especially appreciated Luis' attention to detail, and follow-through on even the smallest items. I'll work with Guadioso Contracting again for my next project, and I highly recommend them!"

"It's rare to hear "I love my contractor" but that's what Tony's Contracting Group was to us. My husband & I had a gut renovation of our prewar bathroom. After interviewing 4 contractors, we chose Tony's Contracting Group and we're so happy we did! From the start to finish Tony was either on site or reachable by phone. He helped in the design planning and the workmanship from his team was excellent. They ran into some plumbing issues when they started the demo and Tony was vigilant in making sure these issues were resolved and up to code. It's very evident that Tony is a man of his word, trustworthy, and has a very high standard for customer service. We won't hesitate to endorse him and will use him the next time we need renovation work. Kudos to Tony and his team!"

"We highly recommend Allauca Construction for all of your remodeling needs. Alfredo and Mario were incredibly professional and friendly throughout the entire process. They finished the project on time and on budget - which is rare among contractors in my experience! Their input on various decisions throughout the renovation was incredibly helpful. They were also very clean throughout the project, taking care to clean up prior to leaving each day, so that we could still use our bathroom comfortable while it was under construction. We plan to hire Allauca Construction again for future renovation projects and plan to recommend them to family and friends."

"he did an amazing job and for a beautiful price how we recommend this contractor"

"I have used Ryan Victor on multiple projects from full kitchen and bath remodeling, painting and a variety of plumbing and general repairs. They are always quick to respond and easy to work with and the price is fair"

"The job went well, Wilson from Build N Bolt Construction was professional, he brought samples of different crown molding and he explained in detail about the installation of the molding. On day of the job he and his worker arrived on time with all material need. They were neat, clean and they clean up after themselves. I was very please with the work and I would use them again"
