CHRONOS CONTRACTING

Exceptional job, as always. On time, on budget, cleanup completed (which should be a given in a construction job, but, unfortunately, not always the case). Knowledgeable and helpful.

Swimmingly! (Ahem.) Seriously. Peter and his crew were punctual, helpful, thorough, respectful of our space, trustworthy, attentive to every detail, and generally nice people. Peter is an excellent communicator and was always in touch whenever there was a question. He was full of helpful advice about how to fix our cheap clothes closet as well. The crew wore booties all of the time so as not to damage anything, and sealed off the area under construction from the rest of the apartment so that we had no extra dust or mess. They dealt with the tight spaces of a Brooklyn apartment like the professionals that they are: supplies and tools were stored in the hallway of our building, or in the work area. And as for the results: the ceiling looks like new (where there was once a patchy peeling hole) - one could never tell that there had been a leak! Similarly, the wall where the majority of the damage had been is pristine, and a delightful shade of our chosen Purple Rain... Chronos rules.

Peter Demos, Chronos Contracting, delivered an excellent job. This was the second time we have worked with Peter and, just like on the previous occasion, his focus is on achieving perfection for his clients. Peter and his crew stripped the half bathroom of tiles, removed the existing sink, medicine cabinet and toilet, retiled and installed a new sink, a new medicine cabinet, a new toilet and various accessories. They removed the sinks, medicine cabinets and toilets from the two full bathrooms, tiled the walls and installed a new sink, a new medicine cabinet, a new toilet and several accessories. In the kitchen they applied a tiled backsplash. For the previous job, Peter installed four ceiling fans, relocated several ceiling lights, restored drywalls and performed assorted electrical tasks.

As we experienced with our last project with Peter in the summer, our lighting project was on budget and on time once it started. Peter offered good advice on shopping for light fixtures that was very helpful. Communications during the job was excellent as he constantly updated us on his progress. Moreover, his crew as always took great care to minimize disruption and conscientiously maintained a clean work area. I would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects.

Excellent. Peter and his crew were efficient, conscientious and did superb work.

Finding a good contractor is like finding the holy grail… there are so many nightmare stories about people who don’t show up, who take your money and leave you hanging, and who do a crummy job. In fact, this was our experience 11 years ago when we first bought our apartment and we definitely did not want to go through that again. Thankfully we found Chronos Contracting! Peter is great! We had a good feeling about him when we met him which is why we decided to go with Chronos although we had gotten a lower bid from someone else. We are extremely happy with our decision and I can say unequivocally that we more than got our money’s worth because Peter went above and beyond in so many ways. He is incredibly conscientious and knowledgeable, had great suggestions, and his attention to detail is impressive. One of the things we needed done was sound proofing, and it was really nice to know that Peter had experience with the very solution we had come up with in our own research. For the Moroccan encaustic cement tile installation, he did his due diligence and consulted with the manufacturer before proceeding. He also checked in with us all the time to make sure we were happy with the way things were going, and he threw in little extras here and there. We added a bunch of stuff to our original work request but all went very quickly and without any hassle. His crew is great also... really nice guys who care about their work. I will definitely hire Chronos Contracting for any future work I might need done.

Peter and his crew were on time, attentive and completed the work on schedule. Peter is very knowledgeable about construction, design, plumbing, and finishes -- a great resource for advice. Kitchen looks beautiful.

The workers did an mind-blowing job ! Love the way my kitchen looks now so modern and chic my dream kitchen forsure , and it only took a couple of weeks . Thank you again for this guys.

Peter and his crew did an excellent job on our closet project, finishing on schedule and budget. Unlike other contractors I have dealt with, his attention to every detail of the project was meticulous from the initial estimate to the actual construction work performed. Peter also provided ongoing almost daily updates as the project progressed. Finally, his crew made a good effort to minimize the resulting dust and debris, which I appreciated very much. His bid was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. However, it was obviously the most thorough and well thought out. I am a satisfied customer and would not hesitate to use Peter for future projects.

Peter’s work was top notch. He also provided some creative solutions to some tricky problems. He updated me daily on the status of the work and let me know about any issues as soon as they arose. He was also very professional, prompt and worked quickly. I’d highly recommend him and would hire him again myself.

After meeting with SO many highly rated and/or personally referred contractors, I had no trouble choosing Chronos Contracting to complete my logistically complicated commercial office buildout. From the first phone call Peter Demos demonstrated a clear understanding of the unique details of the job, specifically the importance of soundproof walls for my medical buildout (fyi there are a bunch of contractors out there who don't know from soundproofing). He also identified (and fixed!) a heating/cooling problem within the space that never would have occurred to me. The crew completed everything in record time and with preternatural neatness. I swear to god they cleaned the toilet on the regular. And those are just a couple of examples of extreme above and beyond. Almost dally, Peter's creative (dare I say elegant?) solutions met each structural, logistical, and financial roadblock head on and, in absolutely every case, succeeded beautifully and with my tight budget in mind. Amazingly, this was all done within the wholly unreasonable timeline of 4 weeks. The completed project is of such high quality that it defies the criticism of the even the most enthusiastic naysayers. To quote one particularly curmudgeonly tenant, "I keep looking for things that were done wrong but they aren't there". So sorry, curmudgeonly tenant. Better luck next time. As a newcomer to commercial real estate I was a nervous nelly at best and an easy target at worst. Working with Peter Demos and Chronos Contracting was and continues to be the best decision I've made in these early days of building my business and I look forward to NOT stressing about hiring a contractor ever again. Call them immediately!

Peter from Chronos was one of three bids we got for doing the work to fix one part of the coop apartment that was significantly damaged by overflowing water sink from upstairs. Unfortunately, since we weren't living there at the time, we didn't know about it until the water damage caused water damage to the unit below us. ?So being in between the upper and the lower unit we got the brunt of the damage from ceiling to floor and everything in between. ?Peter came in with a very thorough bid but the pricing was between two other bids. ?The lower bid seemed not detailed enough and I was afraid of a quick patch and paint job while the higher bid was just as detailed as Peter's but came in much higher. ?So, long story short, I went with Peter to do the work. ?You have to know that I live in CA and could not be there to oversee the job being done so it was very important to work with someone who kept you in the loop and communicated to make sure things were done properly. ?Peter took care of everything and did the work the right way where it's hard to tell that there was any damage to the apartment. ?Since there was furniture there, he also had to move a lot of furniture around to do the work and put it back upon finishing the work. ?He also cleaned up the apartment, not quite to my standards but close enough. I recommend him highly for his high quality work and ethics and not taking short cuts given the fact that I was an out of state owner.

I'm extremely grateful for all the positive aspects of working with Chronos, beginning to end, top to bottom.
Of course most importantly was the perfect condition they improved my bathroom ceiling to.
I finally have a ceiling again, but furthermore the job is just perfect. There isn't a single thing that seems it could have been done better. It looks beautiful and it's merely a ceiling. I would bet their real renovation work is all the more.
From the first call, to discussion, to signing the contract, Peter was so nice to work with. I had some issues with timing the signing of the contract and I really appreciated his consistent patience. Of the three bids I sought out, he was less expensive by about $500, and his bid gave a thorough list of every single thing that was going to be done. For a small job, I was impressed and grateful. He was the only bid that came to inspect the place, which seemed a very positive sign.
Furthermore, in the quote, where everything was listed, he was planning to use ideal materials and all the paint to finish the repair is 0%VOC emissive (i think that's what it's called) paint. So, he chose to use the most environmentally friendly products without my even having to request it, which i would have.
There is nothing more I could have asked for in his help. I was surprised at the price of all the bids, and wouldn't not have been able to afford the repair myself, but it was due to my upstairs neighbor who took responsibility. I guess the costs of living in nyc will never cease to surprise, but Chronos price beat other bids by 30%, was uber professional, personable, competent, communicative, reliable, etc, for, in total, what was still a small job. I'm extremely grateful and happy with the repair.
He even offered to follow through with fixing one extra part of the damage that I didn't even try to resolve with my neighbors. What a good human being and tops, tops contractor. If I ever have to do something else to my apartment I would call them pronto. The three members of his team were super efficient and polite and nice, and it seems everyone had a positive respectful rapport with each other. Just the sort of team you want to pay for help.

The work went very well. It was done in a timely fashion. The workmen were careful and did not leave a mess. The materials were of high quality. I was very happy with the results. I would definitely call Chronos for any other contracting work that I needed.

Peter was incredibly responsive and easy to work with.  Being in the NYC market, and understanding the volume of work that contractors are working with, we placed very high value on a company that was responsive (among other things).  He and his team came for 3 consultations, arrived exactly on time for all 3, and were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and personable.  We hired them for the work, and subsequently produced results that were of very high quality (and finished within the timeframe initially communicated).  We would most certainly use them again for other work, and would highly recommend them for anyone seeking similar work.

Peter and the team were terrific to deal with, consistently starting the job at the agreed time and thoroughly cleaning up each day once the work was done.  The job was finished in the quoted time and with little price adjustment which was a  pleasant surprise.  As we were unfamiliar with the technicalities and process, Peter was helpful and patient, advising what needed to be done, the materials required and where to source which made the whole experience easy and stress free. Thanks to the team for a job very well done and I will definitely use Chronos Contracting again.

Peter was willing to take time out of his schedule for this small job, which we really appreciated.  He responded immediately, showed up on time, and called when he was on his way.  Both him and his co-worker were very nice and helpful.  I will definitely call him in the future.

Fantastic! Peter and his crew were punctual, professional, friendly and hard-working.
