We recently had both a full bathroom and half bathroom renovated by Agalliu Contracting. We'd met…read morewith the owner, Matt, a few years back to quote the same, but were tripped up with life and not in a position to proceed. During the quoting process, Matt was very transparent in informing us about a variable plumbing cost that could exist based on the building's management and their requirements. It was more than a marginal increase to say the least. However, none of the other contracting companies even mentioned this; they built it into their pricing regardless of whether it was necessary or not. In addition to our research, this honestly was why we chose to reach out only to Agalliu when we were ready to proceed. In keeping with his transparency, Matt was up front in telling us during the re-quoting that we would have been better off financially to have done the work when we first met as everything had increased. Given the economy, this wasn't exactly news. That said, the price adjustment was actually less than we'd expected and the same 8-10 week timeline was quoted for the down-to-studs effort. Every phase of the project went well. The contractors were all polite and pleasant. They cleaned up well and clearly worked to avoid any collateral damage to any other areas of the apartment. The only schedule disruption was due to a condition with the building's pipes and not the responsibility of Agalliu Contracting. In short, after demolition Matt had strongly suggested we have our building's Super look over the other exposed pipes that were outside of our commitment to fix to ensure he did not have any issues or concerns that may be the building's responsibility to repair. In doing so, a pipe was identified as overly weathered and could possibly fail at some point in the future, jeopardizing the work we'd done (yes, we and the building have insurance but who wants to deal with that headache). After discussing with Agalliu, the Super, and the Building Management, we all agreed the piping needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, this was right at the point where the wall needed to be closed, so we encountered a minor delay. Again, definitely not the fault of Agalliu, who enthusiastically favored getting the repair done to avoid future problems even if this delayed the effort. Even with the delay, they still finished a week early. My wife and I were very happy with not only the end result, but also the process. The tile work is beautiful and thoughtfully applied, such as making sure cut pieces are the same size and symmetric. The finishes were also installed quickly and with consideration to our desired positioning. Matt was never more than a call or text away and visited most every day. He engaged with the Superintendent directly to minimize or avoid any impact to our neighbors and other tenants. If we had any questions, he was very quick to address and let us know our options if there was any downstream impact. We will recommend to anyone who asks and even discussed other projects as this one was completing. Thank you again.

I couldn't have been happier with the process and I cannot wait to see the room come to fruition. She was very responsive and has incredible taste. Decorist is very affordable and the process is smooth and painless. We were able to turn around the first designs, which were not exactly what I was looking for, into my dream rooms in a matter of weeks. I would have dragged out decisions for months had I not had Sarah's guidance. The one downside is that the site can be confusing to navigate at times, especially if doing multiple projects/rooms at one time. But overall it was easy to sign up and to use.

Bought a bedding set for a sale price…read more When I contacted them to check the eta as I hadn't heard anything they told me the price I bought it at was not correct and I needed to pay an additional £75. They also told me that they were "just about to contact me about it" which I find hard to believe. They then proceeded to ask to cancel my order. Really upset and quite bad abrupt customer service. I would not recommend buying from this company as they do not know how to treat there customers appropriately. They offered me "additional items" and booja chocolates to be sent with my order if I didn't want to cancel... the boOna chocolates were already included in the original order and who knows what these "additional items" were. I presume they would not be worth the stress and the money being taken/held from my account for a number of days without any contact. Also the items were advertised as on sale, it's January so I assumed it was a January sale. I told them they were on sale but they said they had no record of this... even though my order went through and I had an email confirmation , money left my account and I had the shop app with tracking set to take place. Super strange. I would avoid this company at all costs as I can only imagine what it's like trying to return something or quibble anything with them that you might not be happy with, they will not budge and will not help.

They were highly professional, responded to emails promptly, and offered excellent design ideas and suggestions while taking our desires and feedback onboard. We felt like collaborators on this project, while also feeling like we had experts guiding us through the process. The end result far exceeded even my wildest hopes. It looks beautiful, is highly functional, and was great value for our investment. We will definitely work with Urban Homecraft again on future projects, and are thrilled with the end result of this one!

I spoke to a lot of renovation companies before choosing NYKB and honestly most of them felt the…read moresame until I met Maia. What stood out immediately was that she didn't just try to "sell" me a bathroom. She actually paid attention to how I live day to day and designed the space around that. She noticed little things I didn't even think about, like where lighting should hit the mirror, storage that wouldn't make the room feel crowded, and materials that looked expensive without feeling cold or overly trendy. The biggest difference with NYKB was that the process never felt chaotic. Usually when people talk about renovations it's horror stories, delays, and constantly chasing people down. I never felt that here. Everything felt intentional and handled. Maia somehow managed to make a renovation feel calm, which I didn't think was possible. Now that it's finished, my bathroom genuinely feels like part of a luxury hotel suite but still personal and comfortable. Everyone who comes over comments on it immediately. Looking back, choosing NYKB was probably the best decision I made for the project. Maia has an eye that's very hard to find.

The apartment belongs to an 88-yr old man, who has lived there for over 50 years. Every step of the reconstruction process in this 1890 building has been high-quality in every respect, including communications with the insurance company and with the coop board and other residents. In addition to their professionalism, the compassion and kindness demonstrated consistently by every member of the NYKB staff has touched us deeply. The fire and loss his home have been emotionally distressing for this elderly friend, but we have been comforted beyond words by the experience of working with NYKB.

I've known Buddy since his Cranberry Hole Road days (early '90s, I stumbled in there by accident,…read moreand...). He has guided me through two apartment restylings (not renovations) 30 years apart in two NYC boroughs. As others have said, he is a different kind of designer--and so full of ideas that at first it's overwheming, and you might wish you had 10 other homes to fill with his concepts. He sees possibilities that aren't immediately evident, and is a genius at furntiure and picture placement. I had a genuine midcentury table (not a West Elm copy) that I'd had for decades and it was just sitting forlornly in a corner in the new place because I didn't know what to do with it (It didn't seem to fit anywhere). I was also grousing about needing a coffee table and in less than a second Buddy picks up the table with one hand and plops it down in front of my couch (purchased with his guidance), saying, "Here's your coffee table." The table, although not ostensibly a coffee table, works perfectly there, even though I never saw that possibility and was getting ready to dump it on one of those marketplaces. It's a small example, but I think it capsulizes Buddy's approach. He was also spot on when it came to selecting lighting fixtures, and saved me from choosing rugs that would have made my place look like a Miami hotel lobby (I think that's what he said--I know his scathing critique of my choices referenced Florida or the Bahamas), steering me to much more stylish picks. Buddy's also an artist (he constructed and painted a screen for me decades ago--in the Cranberry Hole Road days--that I still use and that visitors still comment on) and a cognitive psychologist, which can come in handy when you're in the emotional throes of a move, a renovation or restyling. Give him a try, even if your place just needs a refresh, a new look. He'll help you choose what you need. Now I'm thinking of seeking his help for a closet renovation.
