He arranged a time to visit to take measurements and prepared a quote for us. We appreciated that he gave us advice, but allowed us to be creative and and use our preferred suppliers. He came out again to our house after we determined that we wanted his company to perform the work. We fine-tuned exactly what we wanted and set up a tentative date to begin work. After we got our items, we confirmed the start date. Stephen and Michael arrived promptly on the day work was scheduled to begin and demoed the bathroom. They arrived every morning at the same time and worked a full day and I'm not sure they even took breaks. They completely cleaned up at the end of each day and sectioned off the work area to minimize the dust throughout the house. The bathroom remodel was expertly performed and came out exactly as we had envisioned. I highly recommend Katamount Construction. Alberto's pricing is reasonable and the final product is outstanding!

This needed the entire shower taken out to have the leak repaired and built back up. Paramount came recommended by Gold Medal (plumbing company) who assessed the damage and recommended the repairs. Paramount initially sounded positive based on reviews however our experience was far from positive. Horribly rebuilt shower with (see images) 1. poor wall finish, causing the door to never be closed fully due to the curved wall 2. Damaged window siding and never repaired correctly (had to call them back twice to refinish it and even then it still looks terrible) 3. Poorly finished corners that are terrible to look at 4. Sharp jagged corners at the bottom of the shower stall near the door 5. Worst part is the shower floor that is beyond incorrectly graded causing pools of water to never fully drain. 6. Another part we can't verify but are certain is the case, is a p-trap was definitely not installed under the drain, which means we have foul sewer odors coming in quite often, and other than ripping out the bottom and repairing/rebuilding it again, we don't have a solution. When pushed about all this terrible work done, their excuse "we were rushed". They disappeared for days on end in between the renovation without clear indication of when they'd be back to complete the work. Hence us pushing to get this finished. Even years after this work was done (Sept 2023) we are constantly reminded of this abysmal work (in case you were wondering why I'm leaving this review now), and would never recommend these folks.

We recognized the importance of working with a building company that would be able to inspect and diagnose issues related to our cedar shake exterior, trim and fascia, roofing, and painting. After exploring several construction and restoration companies, we decided to go with Baxter Construction given their reputation for top notch, project management and a wide range of expertise in many of the skill sets we would require. We were very impressed with their project management from beginning to end of what turned out to become a 6 month project. In working with Baxter, we were additionally comforted by the dedicated staff carpenters that had been with the company for many years. As the weeks and months progressed, Baxter were able to diagnose problems and perform remediations responsibly. We were kept up to date with frequent progress reports from the project manager, and grew to admire the carpenters who explained the details to us along the way. Given the need for carpentry, roofing and painting, Baxter was able to coordinate the process efficiently. This was a challenge given the numerous Covid related supply chain issues we ware experiencing. In short, we are extremely happy that we went with Baxter and would highly recommend them.

To make a long story short, he ripped apart my home, leaving my family with a room without insulation, flooring or walls for over 6 months and in the winter. He also ripped up my kitchen to do flooring. I ended up with no flooring in my kitchen for the same amount of time. ( my kids cut their feet on the exposed metal he left on the floor ) The work he did do had to be redone by the new contractor (for the most part) so it would pass inspection. The one thing he included in his price that we didn't have to pick up and pay for was a bathroom window that didn't pass inspection and came without a screen. We paid for all the materials and 95% of his labor. He took off with our money and never made good on it. He took us for a lot of money. If you plan to use this company, I recommend you add the price of an attorney to his proposal. Buyer beware. I wouldn't give him a star but you need to to post this.

The quote was around the middle of the ones I saw, and I got a good vibe from Michael, so I decided to go with them.

They had good ideas and brought up things to consider, and additional costs for any changes along the way were reasonable. The guys who worked at my house were incredibly friendly and polite. The work turned out amazing - better than I had even hoped. Can't recommend them enough and will definitely go back to them for any similar work in the future.

He came to review what we needed done and provided a detailed quote for each project, including material and labor. All projects were completed from A to Z, including painting molding to match our existing trim (and he did a much better job with that than the previous person who had redone our molding a few years ago). Very courteous and professional. I would recommend Jaime and Gallardo Home Improvement to anyone who needs work done. You will not be disappointed.

This was the second time I've used Monk's for painting projects at my home in Morris Plains, and…read moreonce again I was extremely happy with the results. The first project, several years ago, involved painting multiple interior rooms and crown molding. Most recently, I hired them to paint three new structural porch columns and my front door. While that may sound like a straightforward job, it really wasn't. Black structural columns are not something you see every day, so preparation, product selection, and attention to detail were critical to getting the look I wanted and ensuring the finish would hold up to the elements. Bob came out to provide the estimate. He was professional, easy to work with, and, most importantly, took the time to listen to what I was trying to achieve and the concerns I had about the project. He was also able to get the work scheduled within the same week. I worked closely with Ron, who I believe was the lead painter on the job. He was incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented. I supplied the INSL-X primer recommended for fiberglass columns and discussed paint options with him. He agreed with the approach and helped ensure the project was done the right way rather than just the fastest way. The work took two full days and exceeded my expectations. The crew took great care to protect my brand-new porch, covering the decking and railings thoroughly so there was no risk of paint getting where it didn't belong. What really stood out was the follow-up. Both Bob and Ron checked in independently after the work was completed to make sure I was satisfied. They also made it clear that if any issues came up, they would come back and make it right. The pricing was fair, the workmanship was excellent, and the customer service was outstanding from start to finish. It's refreshing to work with a company that still takes pride in doing quality work and standing behind it. I plan to use Monk's again next year for additional interior painting projects and would not hesitate to recommend them.
