Gennaro was nothing but professional and kind in talking through all of my options. He was helpful in getting the soil test results from the Brooklyn College lab very quickly and helping me interpret them. We ended up deciding to remove the native Brooklyn soil that was filled with lead and pouring concrete on top. This task required putting up plastic sheeting to carry out the leaded soil through the building with contaminating the inside space, as there is no street access from the backyard. This was a project that had to be done super quickly, I am so thankful that Gennaro was able to squeeze it in to his busy schedule. The crew was super respectful and worked at warp speed! They left the premises clean and overall it was a job well done. I can't recommend EcoBrooklyn enough. I will definitely be contacting them again for future projects.

I had a very bad experience with Andres from AMC Painting & Home Improvement LLC. He came to my…read moreproperty to go through the painting project for the exterior of my house & garage. I went through all the details with him. After that, I inquired about his quotation for this job. He told me that it would be around $7,000. He told me that he would write up the estimate and send it to me afterward. When I got his written estimate, my jaw dropped to the floor. He raised the price from $7,000 to $12, 480.00. It blew my mind that he would raise the price by almost over $5,600 the next day. He is ridiculous. I don't think that he is a trustworthy person. Besides that, he was very unprofessional and selfish when making appointments for an estimate with me. When he made the 1st appt with me, he canceled at the last minute. Then we rescheduled another appointment. That day I rushed home from out of state to meet him. While I was on my way home for the appt., he texted me that he arrived 1/2 hour earlier. I asked him to wait for me because I would arrive on time. But he refused, he told me that he could not wait. Then we rescheduled the 3rd time, but he didn't confirm the time. To my surprise, he just showed up at my door without my confirmation of being at home. This guy does things according to his convenience and advantage. His way or no way. I wouldn't recommend this guy & his company to anyone. Think more than twice if you want to hire him!!!

Sigh. This is going to be a LONG day. He had to move all the heavy furniture himself & damaged a piece. He was dismissive & unapologetic (laughed) but made a feeble attempt at "repair" when confronted. Also, each time his phone rang (which was constant) he would drop & stop everything to yak only to eventually cradle the phone & try to paint. Not a reassuring picture! Of course, he couldn't finish so had to come the next day. Next day, he brought an additional guy (I suspect because HE was in a rush to finish because he had another job planned) but tried to skip out without putting any furniture/pictures back in place (again had to be confronted), left soiled papers strewn about & refused to give me a receipt for a cash payment even though told repeatedly beforehand one was needed as proof of payment. (I had to to make one up right there, on the spot for him to sign). He acts as if HE's the boss. Unless you set him straight. Bottom line: You'll have to be assertive (he's that guy) otherwise, he'll walk all over you & take advantage. And even then, it'll only be an ok job.

We highly recommend Tomas for all general contracting work. Late last fall, we moved into a house…read morein Queens, which required a decent amount of work given the age of the building - our scope of work included refinishing flooring, painting the entire building (4 floors), basement refinishing, changing lighting structure, installation of handrails throughout the house, and bathroom remodeling. As you can imagine, contracting is a stressful process, especially since it requires a lot of trust and the size of the investment. We wanted to find someone who could handle the entire scope of work. After soliciting ~5 quotes, we chose Tomas since he seemed the most knowledgeable about safety codes, asked questions that reflected his knowledge of construction (many general contractors just outsource work while Tomas does a significant amount himself), he had a quote that included everything (allowed us to pick out materials and to pay for cost differences versus the assumed budgeted amount, we could just tell Tomas what materials we wanted and he would pick it up for implementation), and the final price was very reasonable. We ended up having him paint our old Brooklyn apartment as well since we were so pleased with working with him. PROS: - Tomas is very trust-worthy and can handle very large projects reliably. In a situation where he saw a safety issue in our boiler room, he went above and beyond to cover the room in metal sheeting for fire containment. We gave him our keys for entry/exit for several months and didn't worry about security. Tomas is very honest and we really appreciated his expertise and hard work - Tomas can handle projects of different types so it made the renovation process much easier. We could add on additional jobs which came at a reasonable price. Unlike various contracting horror stories, we had a really good experience and felt that he was very fair and upfront about costs - Tomas does quality work and doesn't try to nickel/dime for his work. (EX: for our Brooklyn painting job, we had a painter quote added fees for closet doors, an additional fee for one crack in the wall, and an additional fee for the ceiling height in the kitchen. Tomas just gave one quote and fixed up all the unseemly parts under the fixed price) - We are very pleased with our final result! We love our new bedroom lighting (recessed lighting that required new sheetrock for the ceiling), our revamped basement/bathroom, and the fresh coat of paint on the house. The before/after pictures are really significant and Tomas really transformed our space - Tomas is really reliable. We had an situation where we needed something on a hard deadline and an unfortunate mishap occurred. Tomas came in and fixed the problem even when it took him to 2 AM in the morning. CONS: - This isn't a negative on Tomas per se (we recommend him very strongly), but if you are refinishing wood flooring, probably better to go with someone who specializes in refinishing wood flooring since this is an area where specialization does make a huge difference versus a general contractor. Tomas is great in lighting, tiling, general contracting (bathroom/basement in our case), painting, among other activities, but wood flooring is an area that I potentially would have done differently. I'm not displeased with the result and Tomas definitely fixed our most problem areas, but for those who care about wood flooring in older houses, I think hiring a specialist would be better here. We highly recommend Tomas! He is truly great to work with!!
