"I highly recommend this company Heartland Village General Contracting Handyman Services of Staten Island, N.Y. Harvey the owner & his excellent team were professional, punctual & attentative to every detail in building my beautiful handicap TREX brown boards & Grey metal railings ramp to my front door. This fantastic company also closed in my screen house for the rain & possibly snow cold winter months with this beautiful design of Plexiglass. His team also completed odd jobs of installing two door bells, replaced damaged tiles in my kitchen & installed tinting sheets on four kitchen windows which I love. Thank you Harvey & your professional team of excellence. Sue M. - Staten Island 9/12/25"

G&M Construction Group of New York, more specifically, "G&M" stands for my parent's initials Giuseppe and Marie. Giuseppe and Marie Scilipoti emigrated from Italy at a young age for a more prosperous life in the United States of America. My father was a bricklayer in New York City and my mother worked for UPS. My parents were hard working individuals who taught my sister and I that if we wanted to succeeded in life we should never give up. My parents knew this very well given that they came to a country where they did not know the language and had to teach themselves English in order to find work. We moved to Oceanside, NY when I was 12 years old. Not too long after, my mother passed away. For the next 16 years I worked by my father's side learning the home improvement industry. My father passed away the summer of 2009. It is my hope that I can continue my parents dream for a prosperous life and a better life for our family. This is the meaning behind "G&M". Their dream is now my dream.

"My wife and I purchased a home in desperate need of a refresh and hired Phil and the crew at G&M Construction Group to renovate about 75% of our home including removing load bearing walls, renovating the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, basement, floors and more. First off Phil and his crew are some of the most professional people I’ve worked with.. always on time, seemingly always available, preparing quotes quickly, full in depth explanations.. the list goes on. Equally important, he is incredibly knowledgeable. We had a million questions and concerns and he was there to answer them all. He respectfully steered us away from things that in hindsight would have been a total disaster, but was respectful of the few things we could not budge on. The attention to detail was remarkable. He has a true passion for his work and takes great pride on anything he puts his name on. He always took the time to explain all aspects of the job and work to be done each day. As walls came down Phil inspected every inch of the house of any issues, leaks etc and arranged for everything to be fixed. He even caught things that the “home inspection pros” missed. My wife and I sleep better each night knowing that everything was thoroughly checked out. Also Phil’s network of electricians, plumbers, floor guys were great.. their work was also top notch. Lastly, we listened to Phil’s advice throughout the process and the finished product is truly unbelievable. Everyone that walks into our home is blown away by the craftsmanship, including us each and every day. Phil has a true skill, a wealth of experience, an eye for precise detail, a huge knowledge base, manages his crew efficiently and is overall a great, trustworthy guy to work with each day. I look forward to working with Phil and the crew for future renovations.. they are the only crew I’ll work with from now on. Overall we are so thankful to have hired Phil and his crew and for the tremendous job that they have done."

D & M Tile and Marble is Irish owned by Kenny Milner who has worked in this industry for the past 12+ years. Kenny is always hands on and works on every job that he secures. Tile and Marble is all that his company does, so work is never subcontracted out. Kenny gives 100% to every job. Depending on job size, billing is as follows: 30% starters check asked for at the beginning, 20% half way through the job, and 50% upon job completion.

"Kenny Milner did a beautiful job of carefully removing broken ceramic tiles without damage to surrounding tiles. He filled in spaces under surrounding tiles where the slip had been carelessly spread. The carelessness was the reason the corners of the ceramic tiles were so fragile. He moved grout from all the tiles, replaced it. His work was fast, professional, neat. I will recommend him to all my friends and contractors I might know. He responded much more quickly than other companies to requests for estimates and insurance. He arrived at all appointments on time. We were desperate to get the job done, so I paid him more than his usual fees. But it was worth it."

With over 35 years experience, NDA is committed to providing superior designs, products and services. NDA has embraced the design/build concept from its inception in 1992. Our mission is to design and build the most beautiful and functional kitchens, bathrooms, and homes, creating lasting joy and enduring value for our clients. We aim to always follow our credo — “Success by Design” — which affirms our purpose as a company, guides our process and serves as the standard for us to weigh against our actions and activities. Licensed in Nassau and Suffolk County, NDA's reliable and friendly staff is ready to schedule a consultation to review your home renovation needs! __________________________________________________________________________________ Typical Job Costs: $30,000 - 100,00+ Since we are a design/build company, our pricing includes everything from designing the project, to all materials as well as labor. We are responsible for ordering and delivery of all materials as well as scheduling all of our tradesmen and keeping them on time!

"Things are great when you're in contract. Post-contract customer service is utterly disappointing. My husband and I decided to go with NDA after speaking with multiple contractors. NDA was the most expensive option, but they were also the most thorough and professional. NDA's contract is extremely detailed in regards to material and pricing. Their designer, John Nelson, is amazing. Big shout out to John for designing a beautiful and functional kitchen. He took the time to design a great dining area while other contractors simply wanted to keep the old layout and slap on new cabinets. The workers on-site were efficient and diligent about keeping the place as clean as possible. The one major complaint I have is the grout and caulk work - both in the kitchen and the bathroom. The caulk between the backsplash and countertop has separated - for the second time now. Grout in multiple areas of the bathroom developed a crack. The grout at one corner of my bathroom window is cracked and yellowing. Our major concern is possible mold, which is a pain to remedy. We've reached out to NDA about these issues several times since November. They still haven't been able to resolve the issue. There's a general reply about checking worker schedules or reviewing the request but NO follow through. This has been very frustrating. Based on these events, I would not recommend or use NDA again for future projects."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Yes, concrete countertops are harder to maintain than other materials. You don’t have to stress about them every single day, but they need to be resealed at least once a year, if not multiple times a year. Concrete also stains easily, so you must clean spills immediately. Avoid harsh, acidic cleaning products, as they can damage the sealant. Finally, concrete is prone to cracking over time, requiring repairs.

Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop. It’s less expensive than other popular materials, including quartz, slate, concrete, and marble. It’s similar in price to the average, low-end or mid-range granite or quartzite countertop (high-end options cost more). It’s more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic.

However, note that porcelain doesn’t come with very many long-term maintenance costs. If it breaks, you’ll still need to make repairs, but it won’t need regular sealing like concrete and natural stone.

You should never use gritty or abrasive cleaners to clean your Formica countertops, and the same goes for scouring sponges, steel wool, or anything acid-based like vinegar. Formica can't handle high heat, so never place anything fresh from the oven or off the stovetop on a laminate surface because it will scorch.

Mitered edge countertops are usually 2 to 2.5 inches thick. The thickness accounts for the 45-degree angle required to form a seamless corner, resulting in a dramatic and thick-edged appearance.

Budget-friendly alternatives to granite include quartz, laminate, or solid surface materials. Quartz naturally mimics the look of granite, or homeowners can choose a laminate designed to resemble the natural stone for a much lower cost.
