NILAJ General Construction

Jimmy Nilaj and his team are the contractors we have ever worked with. He started by gut renovating my parents’ apartment for us and we have heavily leaned on him on the work needed in our almost 100 year old house. He is completely honest, thoughtful, patient and always willing to talk you through the project. The work is always delivered on time and with the care of an individual that not only stands by their work, but also treats the job as it were for his own home. You could not do any better than Jimmy - thank you for all you have done (and will do) for my family!

Jimmy and his crew did an amazing job on our kitchen. Start to finish it took exactly one month and for the amount of work that needed to be done, we were impressed by how quickly they finished the job. We will definitely be using them next year when we renovate a bathroom. Here our are top reasons for why we recommend using Nilaj General Construction: 1) We lived in our apartment while the work was being done and everyone was extremely respectful of that. Anytime construction is being done, it is impossible to not have a ton of dust and supplies but they did a great job of sealing off the area so that we were still able to use other parts of our apartment. We also really appreciated that no trash was ever left overnight, not even a small wrapper. It is never easy living in a space while renovating but we truly feel that all the workers went out of their way to make sure that we were as comfortable living there as possible while also efficiently getting the work done. 2) The whole crew was extremely hardworking. We wanted our job to be done as quickly as possible and because of that they worked on Saturdays and sometimes late at night. Jimmy also always asked us prior to working on a Saturday if that was ok and if they wanted to work late they always asked if that was ok with us. 3) The quality of the work is top-notch. While everyone was nice, they also delivered great results. We have now been using our kitchen for almost 3 weeks and we have yet to find anything that we are unhappy with. The tiles and backsplash were all carefully laid. We also had high hats installed and the lighting in our kitchen also greatly transformed the area. We have had guests over and a lot of people have commented that it all looks like high-quality work. If you are looking for someone to do any type of project, you should definitely give Jimmy a call. He always got back to us quickly (usually same day) and we really feel like we could trust him. We are looking forward to working with him again in the future.

I did not have any work done by the company, but I definitely recommend them. They were easy to talk to and looked out for my best interest.

Will let you know when the project is complete

He was very nice. He seemed professional. This estimate seemed very reasonable.

When phoned, NILAJ contact immediately picked up the phone and agreed to arrange a viewing at my home that evening. NILAJ contact said he lived literally 5 mins away from my address, which made it convenient for him to stop by on a Friday evening after 7p. NILAJ contact arrived as promised at my home to view the areas and stayed briefly, which was fine. He commented that my home was nicely decorated and saw the vision of TV mount (wires not visible and a cable box "eye", which I didn't know what that was until doing my own research that evening) and estimated the install to be roughly $300 per TV. He also highlighted that he'd need to visit my home when the weather was rainy as he was currently very busy with an outside/outdoors job. While I very much appreciated his timely response/responsiveness, I decided against going w/NILAJ given that I was looking to have the install done in the next 2-3 days and at a lower price. (Had family visiting from out of town and was limited in my time off.) I was also skeptical about the install to hide the wiring given that it's an old building I live in (built 1950) and the walls can be troublesome to mount items given that they're largely concrete. That said, I purchased my own (full range motion) mounts at a nearby electronics store in Northeast Yonkers and hired another handyman to do the install in the next 2 days. The chosen handyman completed the job at less than half quote amount I'd received from NILAJ.

The whole project was excellent! I could not be more pleased with everything about this company - from honesty & integrity to the quality of the work. Really nice, respectful & considerate employees . . . and they clean up beautifully after every day of work, do not leave a mess and are really careful about everything (which is really important esp to women).
