I highly recommend James McGhee and A Better Craft for your home renovation and construction…read moreprojects. James is a pleasure to work with (so easy going and professional) and he is always around working and managing during the project. For the work A Better Craft did for my project - see below. WORK COMPLETED: Painted my unfinished basement from top to bottom (including painting and tacking up messy wires and finding a way to conceal them), smoothed over an uneven concrete basement floor, patched up parts of the ceiling where you could see the rafters, installed recessed lights and moved electrical outlets, built a closet with doors that his team constructed from a picture I showed them, patched up and painted my cracking concrete steps in the front and back of my house, installed a ceiling fan in my bedroom, hung heavy gym wall mirrors on the concrete walls in my basement, eliminated my rodent issue by adding wood siding under my steps and deck and had my iron gate repaired in front of my home. James is a talented painter and he knows his team well in addition to knowing all the local hardware, paint, and electrical stores which helps with product and pricing. You will enjoy working with A Better Craft!

His attention to details, aesthetic, and craftsmanship really help us to get the final look of our beautiful home now! James and his team did an amazing job painting our entire home, and upgraded the hardwares. We have changed the countertop, got customized closets. He even quickly fixed some of the pumping issues near the end of the projects. Super reasonable price, and we definitely recommend him to anyone!

I only gave him a general idea of what I wanted and he told me what is best and what to order.

I had a great experience with Andrew from start to finish. After going through Yelp to get a quote…read morefor installing a tile back-splash in my kitchen, he was very responsive in setting up an appointment for a walk-through and an estimate. His estimate was reasonable for the amount of work to be done and very competitive with estimates I had already received from five other contractors. Andrew and his assistant Matt took about two days to transform my kitchen into something really sharp. Andrew was very thorough and even took care of some odds and ends that were left by the builder (and previous contractor who installed the counter top). Also, Andrew was very neat - he covered the counter top to avoid any damage or stains and swept the floor after both days of working. After they left, you would never know that two people were sawing tiles and working with grout and tile adhesive all day. I wouldn't hesitate to book Andrew for any other jobs I need done around the apartment. It was a five-star experience from start to finish and I'm glad I found the Handy Andy Squad.

Introduced creative new ideas to the process where we needed them and stepped back and let us share our vision with him when we had a clear sense of exactly what we wanted. We also had a few semi-crises on our hands with plumbing and electrical issues, and he put us at ease. A down-to-earth, good man clearly runs the show at Chronos. Peter was very honest and concerned with meeting our needs, offering a fair price for impeccable work. Almost as important as Peter's honesty was that Chronos doesn't leave the slightest mess behind, everything looked clean and wonderful, like a genie had visited us that week and swept in with a brand new kitchen!

I would highly recommend Shafayet and his team at Multi Construction. The job was an extensive gut…read moreand renovation of a 100+ year old five story building. The work included structural work to repair / replace old decaying beams and to add new support beams. The work included the relocation of 2 full new kitchens; all new internal plumbing; an upgraded electrical system; and the installation of split air conditioning systems throughout all 5 floors. The millwork / finishing / painting done by his team were meticulous, and we ended up 2 beautiful new apartments - a triplex with 2 bedrooms 2 baths, and a duplex with 2 bedrooms / 2 baths. Shafayet was always responsive to our inquiries / requests and provided solutions to the many problems that were encountered in a project of this size. He also coordinated well with the architect and third party vendors that were involved in this project too. His bid for the job was very reasonable compared to the bids of 4 other general contractors. Great value overall!

Their hands-on owner, Shafayet, was responsive and fully transparent, and even asked for a meeting when he sensed a disconnect regarding our expectations and the treatment we chose. For credibility we might say that his people are skilled, but that it's important to take care to monitor scaffolding people, whom Multi doesn't directly supervise. In our view he turned out to be exactly what we were hoping to find -- instead of IBM, a local, smallish outfit that led with scrappiness and responsiveness. Highly recommended
