He created custom panneling & trim work in our hall and stair case to match some adjacent historic paneling in our entryway. He also created custom storage doors for under our staircase and the best of the best is our custom bay window/storage bench with matching historic trim. It turned out better than we expected. While he is not the cheapest game in town, the quality of his work is excellent and it was worth it. He's very creative and came up with great options to our storage problems. As a San Francisco Realtor, I'm always focused on quality and how things wear over time. Paul's work is really wonderful! I would use him again and have recommended him to my clients. He's also a really nice guy, which is a bonus!

EXCEPTIONAL WORKMANSHIP AND PROFESSIONALISM…read more I hired Jonas for the removal of the dreaded popcorn ceiling and complete painting of a 1500 sq ft condo. The ceilings and painting came out beautifully. He was also able to remove all the old ceiling fixtures, vanities, mirrors, etc. Jonas was such a pleasure to work with, a true professional in every aspect. Jonas had good communication skills and kept me updated on the job's progress. (We weren't living in the unit.) He was a wealth of knowledge regarding best choice of paint and helping narrow down color choices. Because yes, my head was spinning the more I researched paint colors. Apparently it is recommended to choose paint by light reflective valve (which is based on windows and lighting) and also the underlying colors of you flooring and cabinets.) I went with his recommendation and was so happy I did. The condo looked bigger and brighter than my previous paint color. The trim and baseboards looked very clean. As a person who tends to have some OCD traits, I was happy with the neatness of all the painting. The workmanship of his team was excellent. Strengths were punctuality, excellent communication skills, great in depth fund of knowledge, and patience in fully answering all my questions. I highly recommend him and plan to use him again.

I completed work as a subcontractor, but after the job was finished, I was not paid what I was owed. I tried to contact management regarding my payment, but I did not receive the response or communication I expected. This was extremely frustrating and, based on my experience, very unprofessional. Subcontractors put in their time, labor, and expenses and deserve to be paid according to the agreement. If you are a subcontractor considering working with this company, please do your homework first. Make sure everything is in writing, including the payment terms, and keep records of all work and communication. I am sharing my experience so other people can be aware and make their own informed decisions before accepting work. For me, this was a horrible experience, and I would not recommend working with this company.

He responded immediately after I reached out. I was not in NY when he went to look at an issue in my apartment. He texted his diagnosis which was not unexpected. His quote was reasonable. I gave him the green light and he got to work right away, showing up when he said he'd be there, texting about progress and sending me pictures. He could not have been more professional and easy to communicate with. While this was a small job for Robert I feel it was a good indication of his outstanding work ethic. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

Derek did an excellent job communicating, walking us through each step, being transparent about costs and expectations, and ensuring we were satisfied with our choices. I was amazed at his in depth documentation listing individual part costs and labor; it made me feel empowered to know exactly how the project funds were being spent. My favorite part is he flat out told us when he didn't agree with us on any choice, which I really respected because he truly is a master in his field. We used to have serious water seepage issues in our basement during period of heavy rain before the basement was finished. During the finishing, we got to see his work in action as moisture would literally be pushed away from our basement cement blocks. Since the work, we have NEVER had water seepage even during periods when our dry well and patio would flood (which has nothing to do with this basement project). No project is without its bumps; we did have some issues with some subcontract work but Derek took care of that too and really kept on top things taking ownership of the project end to end as an exceptional general contractor would. This project ended up costing us about twice our initial budget forecast but that was our choice, not because of any misunderstanding. We were so satisfied with the work and the process that we couldn't help but splurge and take further advantage of the quality workmanship. We even considered having our wooded deck redone but we were so far off budget that we decided to defer this work for the future (tbd). This guy went so far to help us with getting a town variance and showed up to the court hearing to coach us! It's now two years later and we really couldn't be more pleased. We know who we will call for our next project(s) once we are ready for it.
