I first called the wonderful people at Gus Anax Home Improvements for a roof repair because I had a…read moreleak in my very old existing roof. I already knew the old roof needed to be replaced but had dreaded going through the process. With a giant rain and wind storm coming the next day, Nancy called and actually arranged to have Gus Anax do the repair ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON so that I would not have to deal with the damage that was sure to ensue! I was amazed to have come across a company that actually cares, especially to this extent, about a potential customer! I have never before had the pleasure of such kind professionals working with me in so attentive a manner before. The repair was done, and I was able to sleep soundly through the storm rather than watching my ceiling collapse! Going forward, I received a quote to have my old roof replaced that was absolutely within the price range I was expecting. Of course, I was delighted to receive a quote that I could afford but equally important, I felt a full sense of confidence in going ahead with the folks at Anax. They were very professional and informative, not to mention patient, throughout the process of selecting the roof material and giving me an understanding of the roofing process. They could not have been more helpful to this rather nervous customer. I need not have had any anxiety about having this job done, thanks to Gus Anax Home Improvements' professionalism and expertise! Gus and his team of skilled workmen set to work methodically and with great care. They were a pleasure to have at my house. I honestly do not have one single thing to say in the way of even the smallest complaint. Rather, I can only praise this fine company. What a great experience this has been, start to finish. With my wonderful new roof, my house looks far better than I could even have imagined. The roof is so pretty and greatly enhances the entire appearance of my property. (I have greenish-grey siding with dark green trim/red front door - - I went with Colonial Slate for the roof, and honestly, it looks like a storybook house -- exactly the effect I was going for!) My neighbors have all commented on how great the house looks and how charming the new roof makes it. In closing, I am delighted, in every way, to have had this job done by Gus Anax Home Improvements and plan to continue to enjoy having all my home needs taken care of by them. As such a satisfied customer, I was thrilled to learn of their full line of services. I cannot recommend Gus Anax Home Improvements highly enough. THANK YOU Gus, Nancy, & Co.!!!

This is a belated review I never finished. I will be updating because now I have hired them to do a…read morecomplete demo & remodel of this said back room. Stay tuned...... Soooo I'm trying to get some minor home projects done. But my 6 day a week 60 hr schedule makes it almost impossible to get any errands or appointments done. But here's where Dom the owner of Hope Custom Builders comes in. I have a quirky basement door which is between my kitchen and back room right at the transition. I think it was an outside door at one time & the previous owners added the back room on & just made it work. But the back room floor is in desperate need of replacing. Then I realized oh crap! I need to get that door fixed before I can put the new floor down. I didn't even know what was wrong with it exactly except that I could only use a baby gate to hold it up & it's super heavy. I was constantly afraid it might snap the gate & hit me in the head while going down there. Now this is the perfect example of what seems like a simple job turns out not to be so simple. But the tenacity of Erik & Brian over 2 days they definitely banged it out. Pun intended. Awesome work & excellent service! 10-24-2021

After months of delays, excuses and broken promises, he stopped showing up and abandoned the job, leaving our home unfinished. The incomplete work was nowhere near what we had paid for, and we were forced to hire another contractor to finish and correct the work. Taking $100,000 from a homeowner and leaving the project unfinished is completely unacceptable. I would never hire or recommend him.

Additionally, portions of my roof are flat and there were a couple of unexpected issues due to shortcuts taken by previous roofers. Larry, the owner of AllWays, does not take shortcuts and ensures that the work is done properly. He had his crew strip all of the old, shoddy materials from these sections of roof and rebuild them to provide better drainage. In addition to the roof, Larry saved my old shed by replacing all of the rotted wood, added a new roof and doors, and installed siding, making the shed look brand new. Larry is very accommodating and a true professional. I highly recommend AllWays Construction for all roofing and construction needs.

Ambassador just completed a total house rebuild, renovation, and extension for us following major…read morefire damage, and the result is beautifully done. We chose Ambassador because of their strong online reviews and long-standing reputation as a licensed General Contractor in the Town of Oyster Bay. Gary, the president, impressed us with his firm commitment to getting the job done within our insurance-imposed timeline and budget. Their mid-Long Island showrooms gave us added confidence. We already had our architectural plans ready, and Gary quickly understood exactly what we needed. His team demonstrated military-like execution: decisive, streamlined, and efficient. Professional crews were rotated smoothly, always keeping the site in line with industry standards and town codes. Jeffrey, our project manager, was passionate, resourceful, responsive, and friendly. He met with me as early as 7:00 a.m. whenever needed to review the status, and sent evening photos of the progress. Whenever I had a question, he addressed issues almost immediately with his team. We worked on a basis of deep mutual respect and good faith. Jeffrey even went above and beyond to manage costs to fit our budget. As a brand-named general contractor, Ambassador hires certified professionals for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Their masonry and carpentry teams were highly skilled, custom-building everything to look neat and clean. Thanks to their experience, town inspections were all positive, and the final walk-through was incredibly accommodating to ensure we will get our CO smoothly. Overall the result - achieved in a reasonable timeframe and price - was good. I am glad we hired Ambassador, and I am deeply grateful to Gary and Jeffrey for their dedication and help. I highly recommend them to any family looking for a trustworthy, capable contractor.

Over deliver, ahead of schedule, exceeding expectations, didn't have to become my own project…read moremanager, trust worthy crew,  over and beyond are some ways I have to describe John J Contracting and this blows my mind because every contractor who has done work to my house over the last 15 years in most cases not one of those descriptive words apply to any of them! To say that I'm blown away by John J contracting who checked off every one of those boxes is mind blowing to me Project was to convert my garage into a utilizable living space  I 1st met with Paul who listened to what I wanted done and put together a plan to help me convert my garage into a dance/music studio for my kids.   His ideas were better then the previous 3 contractors I met with, he took a day to create my estimate and from a price perspective he fell in between the high and the low bids I already had. Paul's professionalism kinda sold me, he was very focused and has a great personality. I wanted him to win the job and he fell in my budget so it made my decision very easy to choose them A day before the projects start date I met with John Joyce the owner who came to my house with Paul. We went over some last minute details and ideas and he had a lot of offer from a design and practicality perspective.   Day one of renovation went amazingly well, Joe was over seeing the demo, he was great and didn't cause any collateral damage to my house. Demo guys sometimes can. He didn't , Framing was overseen by another Joe. He was meticulous and had great foresight to the project. Engaged me with any concerns and we worked through all unforeseen obstacles my garage presented. The electrition and plumber were top notch. They were specialist to there perspective fields. My last contractor had one guy for everything but not certified in anything. Unlike any other contractor I ever had they showed up every day. Everyday there was progress being made to my renovation. Most importantly to me was that Paul and John both stopped by my job site every day and sometimes 3 times in a day. But on average probably twice a day to oversee the progress and make enhancements/adjustments as necessary as the project developed, at no extra charge in some cases, they definitely wanted to do what was best for me and not beat me over the head In the process with additional costs. The project called for 3 weeks from start to finish. They completed it ahead of schedule.  All the workers were trustworthy and personable I felt 100% comfortable to leave my young kids home alone for a short time while the guys were working.  At no point did I have have to act as my own project manager as I had to in the past with other contractors. At no point I had to chase them around just to get confirmations on simple things like "are you coming today? " like I had to in the past Paul picked up the phone I would have to say within three rings 99% of the time. Even on Sundays.  To give an idea of who I used in the past  Allure to do my upstairs in 2018.  They had missed a lot of days and a the PM Chris would never return my calls and once the job started he Just went MIA.  I give them 4 out of 10 stars and would never recommend them. Refused to use them again. I paid 30% more and for 50% less I'm my opinion  CCP contracting Who did a renovation downstairs in 2019.  Owner would not return unless I had sent a scathing text message begging for a call back, and when he called me back he made me feel like I was bothering him. Started my job in mid April needed it done by my birthday mid May and commited to that time frame, and did not end up not finishing till mid June. After the job was done things that needed to be touched up and they ghosted me pretty much.  ( John J actually fixed some of their issues for me) I can't say enough good about John J Contracting, I will only use them going forward, I recommend them to the highest degree.  Do not start a project without giving them consideration James
