We recently had both a full bathroom and half bathroom renovated by Agalliu Contracting. We'd met…read morewith the owner, Matt, a few years back to quote the same, but were tripped up with life and not in a position to proceed. During the quoting process, Matt was very transparent in informing us about a variable plumbing cost that could exist based on the building's management and their requirements. It was more than a marginal increase to say the least. However, none of the other contracting companies even mentioned this; they built it into their pricing regardless of whether it was necessary or not. In addition to our research, this honestly was why we chose to reach out only to Agalliu when we were ready to proceed. In keeping with his transparency, Matt was up front in telling us during the re-quoting that we would have been better off financially to have done the work when we first met as everything had increased. Given the economy, this wasn't exactly news. That said, the price adjustment was actually less than we'd expected and the same 8-10 week timeline was quoted for the down-to-studs effort. Every phase of the project went well. The contractors were all polite and pleasant. They cleaned up well and clearly worked to avoid any collateral damage to any other areas of the apartment. The only schedule disruption was due to a condition with the building's pipes and not the responsibility of Agalliu Contracting. In short, after demolition Matt had strongly suggested we have our building's Super look over the other exposed pipes that were outside of our commitment to fix to ensure he did not have any issues or concerns that may be the building's responsibility to repair. In doing so, a pipe was identified as overly weathered and could possibly fail at some point in the future, jeopardizing the work we'd done (yes, we and the building have insurance but who wants to deal with that headache). After discussing with Agalliu, the Super, and the Building Management, we all agreed the piping needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, this was right at the point where the wall needed to be closed, so we encountered a minor delay. Again, definitely not the fault of Agalliu, who enthusiastically favored getting the repair done to avoid future problems even if this delayed the effort. Even with the delay, they still finished a week early. My wife and I were very happy with not only the end result, but also the process. The tile work is beautiful and thoughtfully applied, such as making sure cut pieces are the same size and symmetric. The finishes were also installed quickly and with consideration to our desired positioning. Matt was never more than a call or text away and visited most every day. He engaged with the Superintendent directly to minimize or avoid any impact to our neighbors and other tenants. If we had any questions, he was very quick to address and let us know our options if there was any downstream impact. We will recommend to anyone who asks and even discussed other projects as this one was completing. Thank you again.

I stumbled on Ai's services through Yelp, having never hired a feng shui consultant before, and…read morequite anxious about moving apartments for the first time in quite a while. From our initial Zoom call through the entire duration of her consultation, Ai was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and decisive with her advice. After Ai was able to analyze my situation (beyond just my living arrangements, including my personality, career, and goals), she prepared documents that became indispensable resources for my move. Ai offered recommendations on everything from furniture design, materials, and colors to room designations, lighting choices, and even plants! As I started planning the new space, Ai made herself available at every turn--either in-person or via phone, text, and email--to offer her guidance. She made it clear that every decision would ultimately be mine, but I trusted her vision entirely. It was clear that she was invested in my process. I ended up extending the consultation for an extra four weeks! The end result is that I have settled into a new place that perfectly fits me at this stage of my life. I am very satisfied with her services and happily recommend Ai for whomever desires more from their living space.
