I appreciated how easy it was to work with Elton. He kept us updated throughout and was patient with our co op process. You can tell he cares about the details and this is reflected in the finished product. This was our first renovation project, and I am also very glad we went with Ark Construction because there were no financial surprises - which is something I have heard other contractors will do. We highly recommend Ark Construction!

We talked to many contractors before starting our first renovation and without a doubt Elton was the right choice!

I have worked with Gaudioso Contracting on several successful projects. One of the first jobs we worked on together was when Anthony Gaudioso's team rebuilt the street facade of a row house in BedStuy, Brooklyn, for me. His guys first got to the bottom of what had been done incorrectly by the previous cheapo contractor. They started by removing the other guys' mistakes. Anthony's guys then rebuilt the 3-storey street facade and stoop, created a fanlight over the entry door, ran appropriate wiring for new sconces that would flank the parlor-level entry way and illuminate the garden level entrance. They made sure to waterproof it all thoroughly. When the exterior was watertight, they then repaired the fairly extensive inside water damage. The finish facade, which had been approved by public hearing before the Landmarks Preservation Commission, was going to be a faux-brownstone stucco. When the client had purchased the row house, the street facade was covered in a multicolored, faux flagstone slathered on top of the wood building structure. The new finish facade required a new application of stucco as a faux-brownstone. Gaudioso Contracting provided several different color samples of the stucco finish (matched to other brownstones on the block), and as well as, color samples of alternative window colors, and entry door colors, for the Landmarks inspector's approval. As part of the stucco application process, they built up the elegant window and entry door surround details to satisfy the Landmarks Preservation Commission's inspector. They also brought in Adler Windows to replace all the water-damaged, crumbling, wooden double-hung windows with new thermal paned, powder coated, aluminum windows with appropriate brick molding to satisfy the Landmarks inspector. Gaudioso Contracting also built, painted and installed a replica of the neighboring brownstone's cornice which Landmarks approved. Their work was terrific. Each phase of the work moved smoothly and had expertly skilled craftsmen who specialized in the particular aspect of the job in hand at the time. They were on time and on budget. I was delighted with their reliability, responsiveness and professionalism.

This company responded to my request for home upgrade services via Yelp. They came, surveyed my…read morespace and subsequently provided an estimate of costs. I was floored when I saw their costs, which was 2/3 more than other quotes I received. Why are renovations services pricing so opaque? What matters worse - they gave me a proposal for the wrong item. They priced some hidden wine cabinet for $20K that I did not request or even discussed with them. When I responded to them via email they went silent. Very unprofessional and classic gouging! Caveat: This company did not provide construction services for me; just estimates. I would have removed this post as I do care about small businesses, but this owner emailed me calling me a "child and cheap" and told me I should go to Wayfair and Homedepot because that's what suits me. There were other attacks but I will not go into on Yelp.

His quote was among the most reasonable that came in and when there were extra charges, he explained why this was the case and he also gave us options to opt out of them. His crew was also great and he seemed to keep close tabs on them, coming to the work site daily. He was also super accessible-- via phone, text, and email-- and he ALWAYS called back. The work he did-- a complete renovation of our three bedroom apartment-- was great. And he came by a few weeks after we moved in to make sure we did not have any issues or concerns. We recommend him wholeheartedly and would work with him again!

From the moment I reached out, Samir responded right away. He is an unbelievably good communicator. Because of scheduling and logistics, we did a lot of texting, and he promptly provided me with a detailed written estimate. Once I chose my color, he handled everything -- purchasing all the paint and supplies, and arriving with his assistant fully prepared. They carefully protected and taped off everything before starting. They were highly efficient, clearly experienced, and paid close attention to every detail. On the first day, they meticulously removed all the cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware, organizing everything carefully in containers. Then they sanded everything thoroughly. They took the doors with them, and just two days later returned to reinstall everything. The finished result is absolutely beautiful. My kitchen looks amazing, and I could not be happier. I highly recommend Samir!

I would like to separate out the work product from the service aspect. The work product you can seen from the pictures - our bathrooms are transformed. It's one thing to select nice finishes and materials and another thing to install them with care and quality. They delivered on both. Then, there is the service aspect. My wife was late into her pregnancy when we started the work and then we had a newborn and a young child too while the work was being finalized. Samir and team were so conscientious - there were times when we weren't even sure they were there because the were working so quietly. I recommend them without reservation and will turn to them for any future work we do.
