We just had our bathroom fully renovated by D & A and we couldn't be happier. Their team of contractors were clean, precise and always on time. Daniel & Johnny were our main contacts. They heard our ideas and were able to execute and even embellish on some of the design. Also, we found it really comforting to have constant updates on their progress. HIGHLY recommend D & A and we'll definitely be contacting them for our next renovation! read more

I could not be more grateful for the incredible experience I had working with Daniel and DNA Home Improvement. I had an apartment with a very tight 5 week renovation timeline before our child was born and Daniel was absolutely up for the challenge. From day one, his professionalism, craftsmanship, and deep knowledge of standards and best practices made the entire process smooth. He offered smart input, respected the design vision in my head and brought in a team of people whose work and care exceeded every expectation. What really stood out was how dependable he was. Any time I felt anxious or had a question, Daniel responded quickly and made sure every detail was handled. He consistently went above and beyond, and the quality of the finished space still impresses everyone who visits. Most importantly, he delivered the apartment on time, something that felt impossible and still exceeds my expectations. My only regret is that I didn't meet him years ago. read more

After interviewing half a dozen contractors, my wife and I hired D&A Home Improvement to renovate our kitchen, demolish a wall, refinish hardwood floors, and perform other cosmetic improvements throughout our 3 bedroom co-op apartment in Forest Hills. We knew we made the right choice from day one. Daniel stood out from the rest with his clear & prompt communication, practical suggestions, and thorough experience with similar buildings in the neighborhood. D&A's quality of work was excellent and showed impressive attention to detail. The project was finished on time and within our budget. D&A's subcontractors (electrical, plumbing, flooring, etc) were equally professional. We are so happy in our new home and could not be happier with the final result. I would absolutely recommend D&A Home Improvement to anyone considering hiring them. Thanks so much to Daniel, Johnny, and the rest of the team! read more

I'd never bought a home/coop...never thought I would...so everything I knew about contractors were urban legend horror stories. Boy, was I in for a surprise... The first interview was difficult...but Daniel was kind enough to come back and talk me through everything a second time and from that point forward it was like a friend was taking care of me. I know I made some decisions the guys may have found odd...like turning my bathroom back 100 years with old school tile work, but they did their best to make me happy. When I wanted the medicine lowered to a lady height - Johnny had me come over and measured it perfectly using me as the ruler - and love it. When I decided to paint the hall deep green and it came out looking like a St. Paddy's day nightmare - we had a good laugh...and fixed it! I checked the job daily because I was close and Daniel was great about me doing that and even encouraged me so I could make sure things were what I wanted and we could avoid problems...like when I chose some seriously bad paint colors! lol. Anytime I wanted an adjustment, it was done with no fuss at all. I even got to lay a little bathroom floor tile! Daniel and I talked so much through when things couldn't be done and we swapped things out or when I was making really bad decisions and he talked me out of them and helped me find good solid solutions. I'm very happy with the quality of the work and they made my coop a home. Everything that was recommended was done with a consciousness of my budget and my taste. Loving my closets, which we put all new shelving in, my complete bath & kitch reno and my new walls. Did I say, "like a friend?"....nah... a good and reliable friend. read more

Danny at D & A Home Improvements exceeded my expectations at every level imaginable. His service is an incredible quality and value combined with efficiency that I've never seen before. I've had some mixed experiences with general contractors in the past (nothing terrible, just nothing remarkable either), so the whole time we were kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop... and then the project just finished. And that was that. Just a quick and painless 8 weeks and our 3 Bed 2 Bath apartment was finished and ready to rent. A little bit about our situation. We're first time homeowners, and simultaneously needed to close on the sale while renovating the second rental unit in a two family house. It was very stressful since there was a lot of different factors at play. We interviewed three GCs who all seemed great, but by the time Danny was finished meeting with us I had a feeling that he was the best fit. He was more detailed with his analysis, brought up some unique ideas for potential upgrades (without upselling), and brought up some ideas for future improvements of our building that I had independently been researching at length. He clearly had a vision for how to take our building into the 21st century. And beyond that, he pointed out an important tip for dealing with ConEd that immediately saved us a few thousand dollars. After getting his bid, he wasn't the cheapest quote but he provided a very detailed breakdown of the work involved, where the costs were attributed and helped us target areas to save money. He also provided a realistic estimate of the time it would take to complete: 6-8 weeks. Most importantly, he understood exactly what we were trying to do, which was provide the necessary improvements to a unit that hadn't been upgraded since 1960 in a budget friendly way without neglecting the crucial details which would come back to bite us in the ass in a few years. This comes back to the core advantage of D & A which is "value." Very soon after agreeing to proceed, construction began at lightning pace. Danny brought in his expert team, lead by foreman, Gonzalo (who I'm convinced can do literally any task you ask him to on a house). Throughout the process, the team would slightly expand or contract depending on what stage of the process we were in. They're very polite, and take up a small footprint in your neighborhood. Danny would focus on logistics, quality management and ensuring that things were shaping up to our expectations. With this being an investment property, he scoured his ample connections throughout the city and found some of the most smoking hot deals on high quality materials. Vanities, cabinets, tubs, shower bodies, soundproof insulation, and on and on. He was incredibly helpful with the material process and picked everything up within reason. This was another thing that surprised me about him compared to other contractors that would stick the entire thing on us (sourcing and picking up). Throughout the process, communication remained superb at all times. As we continued with the construction, me and my wife decided that we wanted to change the plan significantly, and soundproof all our bedrooms (which is a HUGE undertaking). Danny was very helpful and understanding with this process, and broke down all the additional expenses in depth. Most contractors would have just told me "forget it" but Danny isn't afraid of ripping things apart to do it right. Even with this massive setback, he still managed to finish days ahead of his ORIGINAL schedule. I'm convinced that even though he's not the cheapest GC, he is by far the best value that you can find. He will maximize your investment in every possible way. And not only with construction. We had recently moved to the area, and Danny practically has the keys to the city with his level of connections and referrals. Throughout the process he was there to listen to my concerns, develop our ideas and offer helpful guidance along the way. Even after construction was finished, he still followed up to hear how everything went and make sure we were set up for success as new homeowners. Anybody would be lucky to have someone of such high moral character and intelligence helping them through one of the hardest processes you can go through as a homeowner. I know this is an outrageously long review, but I'm hoping if you've made it this far that this is the push you need to feel good about making the right choice and getting Danny involved on your project. read more

I live in a co-op building with a lot of rules and regulations. D&A were the utmost professional, provided every license requirement and made arrangements to make my remodel of bathroom and kitchen as smooth as possible. Renovation and red tape is a headache to begin with that no one wants to deal with. But working with Danny, who's down to earth, exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the renovation where I now call home. read more

UPDATE: 2 years later and everything is in still in great shape! Whenever I have a concern about anything, Dan is a quick text away. His team is happy to check out the problem, they're incredibly accommodating and want to ensure you have the best service. Dan and his team did an amazing job on my CoOp apartment. His experience in the area, familiarity with my building specifically, and his workmanship has made my decision to work with him. To say the least I am incredibly impressed with the work. A kitchen remodel, removal of a whole wall, updated electricity, a bathroom remodel, new floors, and closet remodels took 2 months (mainly because of the my CoOp's restricting working hours.) The team was incredibly neat, clean, and communicative. The workmanship really shows and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Dan recommended vendors for supplies/cabinets/flooring, who I placed an order with and everything is great quality. He was in touch with all of the vendors and personally picked up my orders to bring to the apartment when needed. I would recommend D & A Home Improvements for your next remodel! read more

Let me start with the ending: I LOVE my new bathrooms and laundry room! Danny and his team took my hideous, tiny, and outdated spaces and made them gorgeous, functional, and envious to all my guests. Their attention to detail and aesthetic eye is unmatched. In addition, they graciously accommodated all of my additional asks to the original scope of work, without pushing the timelines out to an unreasonable degree. I would hire Danny and his team to do any additional renovations to my properties in the future, and enthusiastically recommend him to friends, even though that means waiting in line a bit, as good contractors are hard to find. read more

Daniel and his staff are hands down AMAZING!!! They understood my needs and wants and they were able to give me ideas that I couldn't even think of. I highly recommend Daniel and his team to anyone. I can't wait for his team to renovate my kitchen and floors next. Thank you Daniel for helping me have my dream bathroom. read more

Especially great for first-time homebuyers! I bought a JR4 co-op in Forest Hills that needed a lot of work, including skim coating, painting cabinets, replacing countertops, bathroom, and floors. Daniel understood my budget and gave me an estimate that addressed the most essential renovations after explaining everything to me in great detail. He was in constant communication with me throughout the project and has great staff and sub-contractors. I would highly recommend him and his staff to any homebuyer. read more

I hired Daniel and his team 4 years ago to replace my wood floors and paint my house. Daniel went over the plan , to remove the old floor, reinforce, replace the subfloor and the floors came out beautiful. They were on schedule, organized and fair priced. Daniel is easy to talk to about any problems. I re-hired them recently to finish my basement and did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in renovating their home. read more
