"Friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and clean. Felt comfortable working with them."

"I cannot say enough good things about Dan Bolger and Island Homecraft. Dan is a fantastic project manager who brought in a great team of talented professionals. Everyone came on time and did a wonderful job, quickly, and each was pleasant, patient, and great to work with. Everyone cleaned up at the end of each day and did their best to minimize the inconvenience to our daughter. My husband and I were traveling from New Jersey to help our daughter. Dan did an amazing job in scheduling the crew and subcontractors to make it easy for us to manage our travel and to minimize the time that our daughter was unable to use her space. (I should note that we helped by having all decisions made and all materials ready – this is very important, we know.) The project required a new glass slider, which Kevin and Steve managed to fit into a very tight rough opening (another contractor had been gun-shy to attempt this). It also involved tile work, plumbing, electrical work, and installation of a large amount of cabinets, as well as all new appliances. The cabinets required finished tops since these are visible from the stairs. Kevin completed these beautifully, along with the crown moldings, baseboard trim, and special raised panels on the peninsula. Dan recommended finished under surfaces for the cabinets with LED light strips. These provided a beautiful, sleek look, and we were glad we took his advice. This was not our first rodeo, so with such a big project, we expected a few glitches. Dan and his people took these in their stride and quickly figured out the work arounds, even when it meant extra time and work for them. For instance, when the bookcase above one base cabinet turned out to be too short to quite reach the granite counter, Larry used scraps of trim left from other parts of the kitchen to craft a bottom molding that covers the gap and makes the bookcase look like a piece of fine furniture. Dan also recommended Gary Epstein and his business, 1-800-Paint-Job of Long Island, to paint the rooms when the construction was completed. Gary and his crew did a wonderful job, and we are grateful for the recommendation. Please see my separate review of Gary’s business for details and photos. We have worked with a number of contractors over the years, and Dan is up there in lights. Our daughter’s friend said the pictures do not do justice, and she is right. Many thanks to Dan’s crew, Kevin, Steve, and Larry, for the fine work they did and their courteous, considerate attitude. We look forward to working with Island Homecraft for the additional remodeling still needed at this home. We also want to thank Dan’s subcontractors for their outstanding work: • Gabco Demo arrived early the first morning and had the kitchen stripped in a couple of hours. They moved the old fridge to the living room for temporary use, were careful moving discards and debris out through the living room, and were able to get all the old linoleum tile up from the floor, even the parts stuck on especially tight. They took everything away. • Two Brothers Ceramic Tile arrived very early each day, completed their work super fast with no mistakes, and did not waste one single piece of tile. For the kitchen backsplash, they were able to stretch the marble pencil moldings to substitute for the too-thin edge pieces we’d bought, saving time and money. The tile floors are perfectly level. • Rob Beck of Biagio Plumbing lives locally and was wonderfully available and responsive. He had our daughter’s gas stove and her fridge hooked up and ready to use less than two weeks after demo began so that she could cook while she waited for her counters and other finishes. He also came back to reverse her new front load washer and dryer when we realized the doors banged into each other. Please see my separate review of Biaggio Plumbing. • Shamus, George, and their apprentice, Frank, from Sure Line Electric did a super job installing under cabinet LEDs, relocating switches, outlets, and a security sensor, replacing the porch light and a ceiling light, installing a new larger electrical box and electric for the pump for the new basement slop sink, and trouble-shooting and activating several outlets that didn’t work since the home was built. George saved a good deal of money by assuring us that the electrical panel did not require upgrading to 200 amps (as another contractor had said). He advised us instead to install a larger panel box with more outlets, eliminating the existing crowding and allowing space for the slop sink pump."

"Rob and Christine are terrific. Christine handled the appointment and communications until Rob was onsite. I found Rob to be very knowledgeable and professional. He pumped the cesspool and then used a digital camera to check inside the cesspool to determine type. Afterward he applied the chemicals. Unfortunately we don't have an overfill pool so we have to pump our cesspool more frequently. Rob explained in detail the process, cost and time to install and overfill pool and we will definitely use Mid Suffolk Cesspool when we're ready."

"While looking for a plumber to inspect and replace a leaking water heater, I found Rapid Repairs.  I called the number, and was directed to send a text message if I needed a emergent response.  After only a few minutes, I got a response in a text message addressing my issue.  They were professional and answered my questions as best he could without being at my house.  I even got estimates based on my answers.  The only reason I did not utilize their service was that I needed hot water immediately, and they were already on multiple service calls, meaning the earliest they could come out would be Monday.  
I would definitely use them in the future, I was very happy with the response and appreciated that he was polite and understood that I couldn't wait for them to become available.

"They picked up the new windows and all materials needed for us, arrived on time, were friendly and professional and did a great job installing the windows. As the old windows they were removing were in very poor shape and were rotted in areas, it wasn't as simple as some installations may be, but they were able to replace the windows efficiently with great results. We plan on using them again for additional work and would definitely recommend them to others."

"Excellent, Rob and his team do great quality plumbing work!! Always show up when they say they will and get the job done right the first time!"

"My plumber, Mark, was extremely professional, communicative, and did excellent work. He went out of his way to work around my schedule and explain every step of the process to me. The new install was done quickly and was certainly done better than whoever installed the last one. I would absolutely recommend MFS for anyone looking for a plumber."

"Bill and Ted did a great job . Bill Cleaned out my first floor lines and got hot water flowing through the radiators.. Great job , clean and great customer service. I would definitely use them again."

"They did a marvelous job! They're very professional. I had to try to locate the leak myself but I couldn't find it but within minutes, Joe found it out and fixed it and restored everything back to the way it was."

"The job started well but it wasn't finished with the level of detail or professionalism I would have expected, especially given some of the stellar reviews on here. I hired them because I believed they would be meticulous. They take on a lot of work and the subcontractor was on the job most of the time (in fact there were many days where there was just a sub-sub contractor here). They only came by about once a week which meant that when mistakes were made, I was almost always the one responsible for catching them. They also were not the most punctual, so I often waited hours for them to come by on the day they did plan to stop by. I could tell when things went wrong aesthetically (like when they used two different colors of grout on my back splash) but I wouldn't have known if the construction was faulty (they hung our medicine cabinet without sinking them so it fell off the wall a few months after the job was done). There are things I am only just now discovering, like wired were just taped together instead of being soldered. I expected more regular supervision which would have saved them from making and then repairing a lot of things. It also would have made me feel more confident in their work. They didn't use silicon to seal the joint between our counters and back splash which is industry standard. Eventually they sent someone back to fix it at my insistence, but they used the wrong color silicon and they just put it over the existing grout. Consequently it has already started peeling off. They also did not use painter's tape when adding the silicon so we have a thick line of silicon that covers part of our backsplash and looks very "DIY." Every time they sent someone back to fix it, it seemed to get worse but neither the owner nor the VP came to oversee the work. We also paid $1000 for "custom" under-cabinet lights, which had to be installed 3 times and were nothing more than a $70 strip of lights from Home Depot (I know because I saw the handyman they sent walk in with a bag from home depot and I saw the receipt). To install these lights, they drilled huge holes in our cabinets, chipped our backsplash and taped lights to the back of our cabinets, so you can see the glow coming from within the cabinetry when they are on. They also taped the wires together, which I have since been told could cause the light to short and is not a good idea. There were several other more polished and professional ways these lights could have been handled and for $1000, I expect something much better than what we got. Towards the end, I got the impression they wanted to finish our job and didn't want to invest the time or money into finishing the job properly. Lastly, one of our cabinets came missing a shelf and instead of ordering a new one for us, they cut a cheap one out of plywood. I emailed requesting the shelf we paid for multiple times, only to be told it wasn't supposed to come with that size cabinet (even though every single other one of our cabinets of the same size have that number of shelves). I have called, texted, emailed and even stopped in multiple times since the job was finish to request they fix these details. Every time I have been told they will look for a design solution or schedule a time to fix the work but they never follow through. At this point, I have to pay even more money to hire someone else to come in and make the fixes. It is unfortunate that they couldn't have handled the details with more care because we would have been happy with the job had they not completely stopped caring towards the end."
