They responded quickly, offered one of the most competitive estimates I received, and showed up on the day they said they would.

It's rare to find a company that's this reliable, reasonably priced, and easy to work with. I fully plan to reach out to them for any future projects, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone who needs fast, dependable, and cost efficient junk removal.

Mikula was the largest company and I located them with a Google search. The other two contractors I found by word of mouth. Mikula's estimate was the most competitive and once they started the job they worked continuously to completion. They demolished a 4500 square-foot house with concrete basement, a four car garage with attached clubhouse and an in-ground reenforced concrete, swimming pool. The operators of the excavating equipment were highly skilled and easy to communicate with at all times. Scheduling was accomplished through office personnel who were very knowledgeable and responsive. There were no glitches in the entire operation--from estimating the job to obtaining permits to completion. In fact, the quality of the work was so impressive, I hired Mikula to build a rock wall around the perimeter of a pond on my property and install a French drain to divert surface water. This second job was completed in 2 1/2 days and the results were impressive. This is a company that has earned its reputation for excellence and the machine operators and laborers obviously take pride in their work. Plus, Mikula owns most of the equipment used on the job--excavators, dozers, skid steer machines dump trucks and trailers - -so the company is not dependent on others to get the job done. I highly recommend this company. John Collins Livingston, NJ

Unprofessional, rude (especially Jose), unresponsive. My project was delayed by a month because he would not communicate with the partner flooring company and send photos, as he had promised. Would not show up on scheduled appointments. I had to beg them. I do not know how they stay in business, treating customers with the utmost disrespect. When I called to reschedule an apt after a 'no show' no one ever bothered to to call back. Said tending to emergency, and will call back; they never did. I was also charged several hundreds of $$ above the agreed price on the final bill. I called and asked the reason, and no one bothered to call me and explain. I kept calling because there were unresolved issues and some things were not correct with the final product. They were supposed to fix them. No one called me back. I now have to find someone else on my own and pay extra money to fix their issues and their mistakes. This is totally outrageous. Undoubtedly this company only cares for money; also shown by incredibly cheap, labor to save costs. Stay away. You will regret dealing with them. They are not worth the aggravation. They are not all that great. Find someone else, reputable and respectable who cares about their customers. Overall, I give them a 0 rating. Unprofessional, rude, unresponsive, not customer focused.

Picerno-Giordano Construction put in a bid to preform Test Pits in the basement of our Condo. Building, requested by our Engineer. The original request was for 2, on that day the Engineer requested 3 more be done. Not only did Rich Picerno personally over see the project but he did not increase the original price. Picerno-Giordano Construction not only gave the best price out of 3 bids but the project took 2 days due to the add on. Needless to say the association contacted the company again when more work was needed for the project. Many contractors would not even come to Hoboken. The company is reliable and fair.

The estimate was $2700.00 for which he requested half as a down payment. I would pay for the doors and vanity. The assistant took measurements and told me what doors to order on Home Depot's sight. The front door had to be special ordered and the expected arrival date was the first week in January. Jay agreed to pick up both doors from Home Depot. I gave him a check for $1350.00. We also discussed the installation of a backdoor. The estimate was $6000.00 and he requested a down payment of $4000.00. I gave him a check for $4000.00. He agreed to do the job on Jan 08.2020. Sometime between Christmas and New Years, Jay called me to tell me that he was bringing some supplies over that he would leave in my driveway covered with a tarp. I told him that I wanted to speak about the work that was going to be done and I wanted a contract. He never showed up. A few days after New Year's Jay called to find out if we were still on for the 8th. I postponed the day because the front door was not yet at Home Depot. I gave him the order number of the doors at Home Depot and he said that he would pick them up. He did not pick them up when he said that he would. Several days later he texted me that he had picked up the doors and he had left them in the backyard. After some misunderstandings about when the work would be done, he scheduled Friday January 17th at 7:30 AM. He did not show up until almost 9. He was alone. He told me that he would have to "pull some guys" to do the work and that it was very cold and it would take 4 hours. He texted me later to tell me that he was pulling some guys and he gave me his word that he would be at my house at 12:45. Around 1:30, he showed up with two men who told me they didn't work for him directly. They went in the backyard and discovered that the wrong door was ordered. I told Jay that it was his guy who told me what to order and he was standing right next to me when I chose the door. He said that he had just fired him. He told me that he would send over some other guys to take the door back to Home Depot. That is when I told him to forget it and that I wanted my money back. He said he would bring me a check by Wednesday (01/22). I texted him on Wednesday and called him and he did not respond. I texted him again on Thursday and he responded that he would drop it off that day. I told him to keep $350.00 for picking up the doors so I expected a check for $5000.00. He never showed up and did not answer his phone or respond to texts. Finally on Thursday night he delivered a check to an intermediary. The check was dated with Saturday's date. On 01/29. my bank informed me that the check bounced and I was charged $12.00. Texted Jay with no response. On Saturday 02/01 he texted that there was a fraud on his bank and he had to open a new account and that he would deliver a cashier's check during the week. No check and no word from Jay. My lawyer will handle it now.
