We will definitely be hiring him again for future projects. Thanks you!

We contacted a different company who reported different issues that would be 60k to repair. We decided since neither of these crawl space experts were engineers that we needed an expert. We found Structural Support and had them do an inspection. Thoroughly done with attention, when complete we shared the estimates we had for these alleged problems. We only had minor issues and most of the estimated services were not needed at all. We have a local trusted contractor working on the matter and due diligence. Reading the reviews of the big name contractors led us to believe we had major problems. When they all identified a problem, each of the contractors suggested totally different things that were relevant, but not needed at all. We strongly recommend using Structural Support, and are thankful for not believing these so called basement experts.

I had a home inspection done on…read morea house I was purchasing and the home inspector recommended that I get a structural engineer to check for a POSSIBLE problem with the main beam in the crawl space, and in the attic for a POSSIBILITY that some trusses might have been removed. I contacted Roy Dedeic for him to come out and evaluate the structural integrity of the stated above areas. I had bad vibes from the start when I met him. When Roy came out to the house he brought his son that he introduced to me as head of the building division of the company. That alone didn't seem right because it was not certain that there was any problem with the structural integrity of the house. They were evaluating the structure for almost 3 hours. When they were done Roy promised that I would receive an emailed report in 2 days. Two days later I did not receive the report. The next day I called Roy and asked about the report and he rudely shouts at me that he had emergencies and did not have time to complete my report. He then promises that I will get the report by the next end of day. The next day he still hasn't sent the report. At this point I am having real bad vibes about him and his company. I decide at this point to contact the town building codes dept to see if I can get someone to come and inspect the attic, and crawl space main beam. I was lucky to have the head of the Township building codes and construction to come out and inspect the above areas. I was very happy and relieved to find out that the Township found NO structural problems with the attic or the main beam in the crawl. Finally a WEEK LATE Roy emails me his report . The report states: MSD REPAIR ESTIMATE * MSD #1 (Affected roof rafters and truss bottom chord members) repair $5,000. * MSD #2 (Affected/damaged crawl-space joists and beams) repair $10,000 * Engineering design and supervision $2,000 Total: $17,000. Thank God Roy the deceiver was late with his report and I was able to get the truth from the Township and was able to get the house I really wanted. By the way, Roy also made an insult about my beautiful dog.

My wife and I were delighted by the beautiful work done by ATOZ Renovations. We're not in the habit…read moreof writing rave reviews. (We're New Yorkers after all.) But the job they did deserves recognition. Among the many people worth a shout-out: designer Chaya Uzan whose enthusiasm and ideas gave us a sense that our project was quite special; and Robbie Goldberg, our day-to-day contact and project manager, who brought a craftsman's eye to all aspects of the job. When problems were encountered, problems were fixed. An example: once we installed a new oven in the kitchen we realized that we would have to do without a favorite built-in spice cabinet. Robbie came up with ingenious fix requiring some custom carpentry so that the spice rack did not disappear but became an integral of the whole. Anthony, our renovation expert, was our first contact with A to Z. He encouraged us not to give up on what we wanted the project to look like even though other renovators had told us it was impossible to do. He also offered to answer any questions we might have along the way. Then there's Shevy, the permit and insurance coordinator. She dealt with the necessary paperwork and kept the inspectors at bay so we did not have to deal with those headaches. And last but not least, Mario, the site manager, who was there every day, hands-on, always professional and pleasant. On that note, the entire team seemed to like one another and treated us and each other with a refreshing degree of decency and consideration. To summarize: The team at ATOZ was thoroughly professional and kept us informed with clear, consistent communication every step of the way. Importantly, the team worked efficiently to stay on schedule and were fair when an unexpected issues arose, providing clear solutions. The final result is exceptional, and the quality of work exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend ATOZ to anyone.
