"Jeff was very responsive, from the first call to the last nail. He came quickly to look at what we needed, e-mailed me an estimate later that day. Our timing was perfect; he had just completed a job and was waiting on starting the next, and we were ready to have our work done. I let him know the job was his and he came with his crew the next morning. It was done the following day. The area in which they worked is as clear as if they'd never been there. We were on the fence as to whether it made sense to repair/reside the shed or just replace it. In the end, we're very glad we did, and clearly chose the right contractor to do the job."

"Jose and his team were extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire project. He provided a fair price without compromising on quality, and his attention to detail was amazing. The final result came out even better than I expected! One of the things I appreciated most was how clean and organized they were. They always kept the work area neat, taking extra care to minimize dust and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the house. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend Jose to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and detail-oriented contractor. A true professional!"

"This contractor was prompt and on time, with a great attitude. His crew was efficient and clean, and completed the job on schedule. The pictures show unpainted wood because it needs time to sit out, but the contractor will be back to paint and do additional work in September. I would highly recommend them!"

Customers say: True professional

"

This is the 2nd major project I contracted Art DeRosa & Co for.  The 1st being 4 years ago a major living room/family room renovation which was hugely successful.  That 1st experience led me to award Art (after several other competitive quotes) this 2nd and far larger & more complex project.







Overall it went well but this was a complicated project encompassing all the typical trades and expertise of building a new luxury house but far more complicated because it was a renovation performed while we were living in the home. Dust partition walls with wood framing had to be erected in several locations in the house which included temporary doors for entering and egress in certain areas of the remaining living areas of the house in order to protect the remaining house from dust and demolition , as well as, provide privacy for us during construction. 

Experience, Experience, Experience and Professionalism, Professionalism, Professionalism are the hallmarks of Art DeRosa and company.  He is a seasoned performer and pretty much seen it all.  Art has such a vast amount of home construction experience in both hi-end and medium end homes that he can draw upon a wealth of knowledge in all construction disciplines to implement a fine finished result.  As a former tool and die maker his penchant for hi-precision finish work yields highest quality appearances to things like moldings; trim; windows; doors; floors; etc. etc. 

This complex renovation project lasted 7 months which was within the initial time estimate given at the beginning and Art DeRosa and team were here every single day, day in and day out,  bright and early during that time frame. He did not start any other projects and stayed on the job day-in and day-out even when other sub-contractors such as plumbers and electricians were on the job site excluding his people from doing any other work. Art DeRosa and team were here every single day until final signoff.

I would not hesitate to recommend Art DeRosa & Co for any planned New House and/or House Renovation of any kind.

"The professionalism and attention to detail from Refined Renovators and Design was second to none. I shopped around and as a single mom not really versed in doing major repairs I was treated with kindness and patience to all my even ?silly? questions. The team kept me looped in at all times and the quality work exceeded my expectations (which were high!)! The job started out as a small project but when I saw the craftsmanship I did multiple rooms in my home and felt confident in the work being done from start to finish. I highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed."

FAQs for contractor service projects in Setauket, NY

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.

General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:

  • Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew

  • Provide realistic cost estimates

  • Develop construction timelines

  • Ensure deadlines are met

  • Acquire permits as needed

  • Purchase supplies and materials

Before hiring a general contractor for your home project, it’s a great idea to write down a list of questions to discuss with each prospect. Some example questions to get you started include:

  • Which types of insurance do you carry?

  • Can you provide a list of references?

  • What is the expected timeline for this project?

  • How will my project be supervised?

  • Will you hire subcontractors for the job?

  • What is the best way to communicate changes?

  • Will you obtain all of the required building permits?

While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
