Yosef tatik is a nice guy until he takes your money and not complete the work…read more I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the status of the renovation project at my home. While we initially had a positive professional relationship and were promised that the final result would be beautiful, the project has fallen significantly behind schedule and remains unfinished. To date, Yosef have collected $107,000 over the course of two months. The work was contracted to be completed within eight weeks; however, we are now in the 15th week, and we have not received any recent communication regarding a timeline for completion. Furthermore, I have been made aware that several subcontractors remain unpaid for their work on my property. I am requesting that you resolve this matter immediately. Please contact me to provide a definitive date for when you will return to finish the remaining work. If you are unable to complete the job as promised, I require a refund of $60,000 so that I may hire alternative contractors to finish the project and ensure the outstanding balances to the subcontractors are settled. I hope you will take this opportunity to rectify the situation promptly and professionally. If anyone had this bad experience with Forward Construction &Remodeling please call me at 516-476-4443. Ty

I reached out to Joseph and his team to remodel and reconstruct my kitchen after discovering that…read morethe open shelving in my new apartment was poorly installed. The open shelving and the cabinets were not reinforced into the walls, had started coming loose, and were at risk of falling down. Joseph and his team solved my problem by building proper load bearing walls, and on top of it, helped to redesign my kitchen and reconfigure my cabinets space. The team handled everything from design, demo, ordering, move out/in, and reconstruction very well. Their attention to detail was spot on and I felt comfortable fully putting this project in their hands. Now I get more utility out of my kitchen from the details that the team put in--no more wasted space in cabinet blind spots, hidden corner lazy susan--and it looks amazing.

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

I hired this contractor after a basement water leak. The scope included patching and repainting the…read morebasement walls, reinstalling the drop ceiling, widening the doorway entrance, and a small paint job in the entrance foyer and near the second-floor fireplace area. I chose him for his Chamber of Commerce membership, strong Google reviews, and because he offered the earliest start date (May 11, 2026) of the three contractors I was considering -- despite being the most expensive. The project felt rushed from the start. For seven straight days, only one employee did the actual work; the contractor himself showed up only on the last day, to clean up. That evening, around 8 p.m. and after dark, I was pressured to pay the remaining ~$5,000 balance (total cost ~$10,000) before I had a real chance to inspect the work. Trusting it had been done properly, I paid. Afterward, I found numerous workmanship defects -- I've documented over 100 photos, a sample of which are below. I didn't feel treated with the professionalism I'd expect, and I'd encourage anyone reading the glowing reviews here to weigh them against this account. I've already filed a small claims case; the court's certified mail to the contractor's listed address was returned undelivered, but I intend to pursue this through other means. Please review the photos and do your own due diligence -- get everything in writing before paying.

We first met Joe when he came to our home to give us an estimate for what we were looking to do…read morewhich was a renovation of the kitchen and some additional items throughout the house.. As soon as Joe came in I realized that him and I knew a lot of the same people in the area as he was a local kid from Middle Village and so was I. After a few times coming to the house and telling us what he can do and us telling him what we wanted, we were able to settle in and agree for the go ahead of the renovation. Let me just say that was a great move. We interviewed many contractors but Joe seemed to know what we wanted. He also knew how we can improve on what we wanted. Joe has vision from his many years of being in the business. Needless to say, he was fair in his price compared to the other contractors that we had met. Throughout the course of the renovation my wife and I were astounded by how clean and neat they were. In addition I was very happy about the way his team conducted themselves in my home and how respectful they were in front of my two young daughters and my wife, which I very much appreciated. The finished job is awesome. Joe and his team did a great job in transforming my old 70s kitchen to a more modern up-to-date classy looking kitchen. My wife and I couldn't be happier. We recommend Joey Cotoia and his team for any kind of renovations that you need within the house. He will work with you while giving you great ideas. He will be fair with his cost. Thanks Joe, Tony, Chris and team for giving us a what we wanted.

4 years ago my wife and I bought the fixer-upper of fixer-uppers. So much needed to be redone that…read morewe decided to gut the whole place, room by room... while living there... with two kids. So that's been fun. Fast forward to this past fall, where we finally decided to tackle the (frankly, horrifying) first floor; kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room and adding a desperately needed powder room. Given that our second floor and attic had already been redone, you could say I've been around the ol' contractor block. We've had some good and some bad, but no one I trusted to do the entire job. As my wife and I were figuring out what we wanted, and could realistically afford to do, my neighbor invited us over to see her newly renovated basement. This was previously a raw space that was now pristine. It looked like new construction in a 100+ year old house. And our neighbor had only the best things to say about her contractor, Joe. We eventually setup a meeting with Joe and he really goes the extra mile from the jump. He and his wife Karin are wonderful, down to earth people who didn't seem bothered by the toddler chaos going on all around us while we spoke. They even took us around to see past jobs of similar scope. Endlessly helpful. When we decided to move forward, cost was obviously a factor. Joe was honest, transparent, and willing to work with us to stay within our budget. Once the job started, it went as smoothly as one could hope. Joe's crew are a great bunch of guys. I won't lie and say that not having a kitchen for 10 weeks with 2 young kids is fun stuff, but they made it as painless as possible. The workspace was always clean and we had a path to our fridge. And they took the time to do things right -- leveling out ceiling beams that could have passed as a template for a skateboard before putting up sheetrock. Joe called regularly with status updates, and to hash out any unclear requirements. He'a got a great eye for design -- making a number of suggestions we were thrilled with -- from room layouts, down to details like a barn door for our laundry room. He suggested cabinets that I had reservations about at first, but ended up loving. He and Karin even came with us to pick out countertops and appliances. Above and beyond. To wrap it up, finding a good contractor is hard and we found a GREAT one, so I was almost hesitate to write this. I don't want y'all booking him up until 2022! I've got a couple more jobs to do!
