Bathroom Remodel
Howard and his team (led by Waldek) did a small bathroom renovation for me -- replacing the floor, vanity/sink and toilet. They were great to work with: showed up on time, responded to all my questions, helped get discounts on products and worked hard to resolve (small) issues that came up. And best of all, the renovation came out great. A huge improvement.

His work and workers were magnificent. Punctual and professional. They took pride in their job, and respected my home. I would hire them again in a second.

Howard and his Craftsmen have done work for me for almost 20 years. They have redone all the electricals in my apartment and brought it up to code. His men are careful and considerate and there is a high degree of finish to all the work they have done for me - most recently a total kitchen redo. This involved everything from electrical work, correcting the floors laying tile , installing cabinets and all the lighting as well as the wallpaper I had selected, I I give HFM and Hoard and Derrick the principles I have worked with a high A+.

Bathroom Remodel
I live in a 102-year old apartment coop building with inadequate plumbing & electrical lines and wanted to make a relatively small bathroom more accessible. I visited three other bathrooms in my building and also got enthusiastic reviews about other projects from others. As the Coop president observed when we talked about my renovation, HFM gets the job done on time and they did. As renovations in old buildings go, I had hiccups and we got through them. It was also complicated because I worked through a designer friend and she had some health issues that made the ordering more difficult. We got through it. The most important thing for me was that I wouldn't worry about the quality of the job after the fact. As it turned out when Derrick and his crew removed 20-year old tiles, he found a leak and mold. The installation of the new modern toilet (not pictured), the vanity, and medicine cabinet required working in very tight spaces. All was done in an excellent manner.

Working with Howard and team has been an incredible experience. I will recommend to anyone. Howard and team are professionals to the core. They know their business. There are a pleasure to deal with. They completed my project in less time than expected. Always showed up on time, cleaned up at the end of the day and were super respectful. I can’t say enough good things about them. It was a wonderful experience. It is truly hard to find this level of service in NY.C Thank you Howard and team for everything. I will be using your services again and highly recommend you to all my friends!

Howard Molen is wonderful! Incredibly responsive. Nearly every time I called, he picked up and would talk as long as I needed to. Or he would ask if he could call back, and then he'd call within minutes. He was always helpful and accommodating. He got us great prices on appliances. He recommended a terrific company for kitchen cabinets (Atlantis Kitchens, with Yianni Gavalas coordinating the installation) and another great company for closets (The Closet Lady—Doreen Tuman). Both Yianni and Doreen were as responsive and helpful as Howard. Good people attract good people! Howard's team, led by Derek Walek, was superb. Derek is meticulous and careful in his work—a true pro. He worked smoothly and efficiently and stuck to our schedule. We would show him items we were thinking about buying (sink, lights, etc.), and he would help us determine what would work best in the apartment. We felt he was part of the family by the end of our time together. The renovated apartment looks beautiful!

HFM came very highly recommended to me by a neighbor and the firm did not disappoint. Howard and his crew work are fabulous. They are highly knowledgeable and reliable. For example, they arrive when scheduled and answer all communications promptly. They were also willing to meet me very early one morning when my schedule was tight. Everyone that I spoke to was kind and courteous. They were really a pleasure to work with and their price for the job seemed very reasonable and fair. The finished work is terrific and I highly recommend HFM.

Howard was great when discussing scope of work and terms. Laborer Valdek was super professional, patient, and super efficient (I called him “Superman”). Work done was immaculate and precise, and communication (which was very important to me) was very good.

After removing an old washer and dryer, we realized that the installation done years ago was terrible and rather than swap out with another unit, we would redo the entire room. Howard was very pleasant on the phone and can over before dawn to accommodate my work schedule to evaluate the space, hear my vision and make suggestions. He delivered a very reasonable estimate promptly and we decided to proceed with the work.
They installed new drywall, outlets, a washer dryer complete with drip pan, flood stop all to code. The crew that showed up laid down plenty of plastic and cloth to keep anything from making a mess in our living space. Everything was on schedule and I got a detailed update at the end of every working day. The installation was perfect and my wife and I are looking for the next project we plan on hiring them for.

Great result with a poor experience. HFM completed what we had in mind to a quality that met our expectations. However, poor guidance was given by HFM which resulted in a timeline delay and the incorrect installation of a pocket door due to the incorrect dimensions recommended by HFM. Additionally, there was a lack of professionalism when resolving the outstanding payment where an HFM employee used a profanity to describe me in an email thread that was forwarded to my inbox. The conclusion of our business together really soured the entire experience and, unfortunately, I have recommended other contractors when sharing the completed work with my fellow shareholders.
Response from HFM Company DBA HFM Builders, Inc.
"10/8/2024 THANK YOU & YOUR WIFE FOR MAKING THIS MINI RENOVATION A SUCCESS; BLESSINGS FOR A HEALTHY & EASY BIRTH FOR YOUR FIRST CHILD... WITH ALL DUE RESPECT ALEX PERMIT HFM TO EXPRESS THEIR THOUGHTS & TAKES ON YOUR RATING & REVIEW * DATED 10/8/2024 1. POCKET DOOR DIMENSION: OWNER DECIDED NOT TO INSTALL A GLASS TRANSOM OVER THE POCKET DOOR HEADER LOCATION ** THEREFORE ENTRY LIGHT INTO THE AREA COULD BE AN ISSUE. OWNER & CONTRACTOR REVIEWED OPTIONS FOR DOOR SIZES && A WIDER DOOR WAS ORDERED PERMITTING MORE NEEDED LIGHT; OWNER AGREED THE WIDER THE DOOR WITH VISION LIGHTS ** MORE TRANSITION OF LIGHT. THE FINAL SIZE OF THE DOOR WITH VISION LIGHTS WAS APPROVED BY THE OWNER && ORDERED BY THE OWNER. MAXIMUM LIGHTING WAS OBTAINED. 2. TIMELINE DELAYS: KNOWING OUR FOLICY AT HFM ** COSMETIC & VISUAL MATERIALS ARE NOT SUPPLIED ** THEREFORE THE HOMEOWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORDERING && SUPPLY THE FINAL PRODUCT TO THE JOB SITE FOR INSTALLATION. THE DELAYS WERE A RESULT OF A DOOR ARRIVING DAMAGED (RE-ORDER) && THE OTHER DOOR BEING A NUMBER OF DAYS DELAYED, TOO. HFM STAYED THE COURSE && PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED THE DOORS UPON PROFESSIONAL & BEAUTIFUL INSTALLATION... ARRIVAL. 3. REGARDING A REQUEST FOR FINAL PAYMENT: 4. HFM DID REQUEST A CHECK FOR FINAL PAYMENT & RECEIVED BALANCE DUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. NEVER IN 44+ YEARS AT HFM HAS ANYONE BUT HOWARD NO PUN INTENDED* YOU CAN TAKE THAT REQUESTED ANY PAYMENTS. STATEMENT TO THE BANK. THAT NULLIFIES/VOIDS ANY NOTION ANYONE WOULD HAVE REACHEL OUT FOR PAYMENT. ADDRESSING TO PROFANITY PROFESSED TO ALEX [Consumer Name Removed].: HFM HAD NO REASON TO BE PROFANE / NASTY / DISRESPECTFUL TO YOU ALEX. THE MINI RENOVATION CAME OUT FABULOUS / BEAUTIFUL & YOUR REQUEST FOR A MOULDING CATALOGUE WAS ADDRESSED AS THE FINAL WALK THRU WAS PERFORMED. THE MOULDING CATALOGUE WAS SENT VIA EMAIL * ATTEMPTING TO MATCH A TINY PIECE OF MOULDING MISSING. APPARENTLY THE TINY PIECE OF MOULDING COULD NOT BE MATCHED BUT HFM OFFERED TO COPE A FIECE OF WOOD INTO FLACE & FINISH FAINT SAME NO CHARGE. THE OFFER IS STILL ON THE TABLE... I REQUESTED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM ALEX TO REVIEW CLAIMS OF PROFANITY; HE DECLINED... I EXPLAINED TO HIM IN TYPING THAT B & D && V & W BASED ON VOICE RECOGNITION & ACCENTS CAN BE MISCONSTRUED / LOST IN TRANSLATION. BOTTOM LINE * THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALEX D. & HFM WAS POSITIVE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE JOB. IN CLOSING: TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR HFM ENJOYED THE PLEASURE OF WORKING IN YOUR HOME & SEEING THE FINAL PRODUCT TURNING OUT SO BEAUTIFUL. HFM DOES HOPE YOU & YOUR WIFE WILL REVIEW THE QUALITY OF THE JOB & UTILIZE OUR SERVICES AGAIN * KNOWING ONE DAY WITH AN EXPANDED FAMILY A NEW RESIDENCE IS IMMINENT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO KEEPING OUR DOORS OPEN TO YOU & SHARING THE JOURNEY. ALL THE BEST * HOWARD / HFM"
