Tom (Tomasz) is truly exceptional at what he does; he's meticulous, skilled, and trustworthy…read more We had a major issue after another contractor attempted to raise three door headers (two French doors and one bi-fold), which required removing and rebuilding drywall. The previous work was a disaster: crooked walls with up to 1/2" deviation, uneven drywall joints and bumps, massive gaps, badly seated doors, trim installed incorrectly, and doors aligned to the uneven floors instead of set at 90 degrees. We genuinely thought the whole project was unfixable. From the moment Tomasz walked in to give a quote, he immediately understood what needed to be redone, unlike others who seemed unsure. He rebuilt our walls properly, fixed the corners, re-drywalled everything cleanly, recut and reinstalled the trim, rehung all the doors correctly, and even custom-cut one door to create a perfectly even gap despite our uneven floors. His attention to detail, precision, and craftsmanship are outstanding. We would recommend Tom again and again. If you need someone who truly knows construction and takes pride in their work, he's the person to call.

I actually had two plumbing companies look at at our busted pipe as an initial reaction and then ended up calling Tomasz to come look at it, and ultimately had him do the job as I felt more comfortable, and thought he was more competent and did it the right way. He's also been able to help us come up with solutions for things that I didn't know how to fix like our windows not latching properly and a window actually blew in our house and he came up with a fix for it. Tomasz is a great guy and we feel really lucky to have him help us!

Jim Gracia and his whole team were such a pleasure to work with. Jim is so professional and thinks…read moreof everything. He has remodeled a ton of kitchens, so he foresees most issues before they arise. He had a great relationship with our kitchen designer (Kitchen Design Partners - Nancy Jacobson), so the entire process was painless and often didn't require much effort on my part. Jim is also creative - he came up with the perfect solution to fix a weird nook that resulted from some demolition work. Jim was very quick to respond to any questions, and always made me aware of the work schedule. Jim's estimate broke everything down nicely allowing us to see how much some extra work would cost so that my wife and I could decide to move forward with some projects and forego others that were outside our budget. But most importantly everything looks amazing. The picture says more than I ever could. I will definitely work with Jim again in the future for any remodeling needs.

Update 7/18/23: B quality, D service and A+ (premium) pricing. We were given several promises and…read more"no, problem, we can do that" sort of talk, and later on as the project went on and invoices were paid (we always paid on time), some of those promises were magically no longer possible. We paid on time, always, but timelines by Jim were not kept. I do not mean timelines related to supply chain issues or them being busy....we totally understood that. What I mean is that he would say he would call/text at a certain day or time and we would never hear back. Sometimes it would take a MONTH to hear (no joke), it would take a MONTH to get an invoice. It took from June to November to address our punch list which just took 1.5 days of actual work on site. Most of the work was great and good quality, and they clean up after themselves well every day. However, some of the subcontractors would lean materials against newly painted walls and they did leave pizza boxes lying around and fast food containers at times when they left for the day. As the project came to a close, the response time was longer and longer. There's no excuse for it, but I think I would use them again as the work is good, as long as you are very patient when you don't hear back as promised. Also, we had our cabinets repainted and the subcontractor had to touch them up after we noticed several unpainted areas. Since the project we have also noticed that they did not move the refrigerator to paint the walls next to the refrigerator and you can see if you stand in front of the refrigerator the old paint color next to the new paint color on the wall. I will have to have someone to come in and fix that. Additionally, the tiles in the bathroom were installed with bubbles in the caulk. They did fix that. Jim also told me they could not remove the rust from the door hinges on the doors of the bathrooms without taking the doors off the hinges, and that it would be a huge undertaking. Since then, we've had the building superintendent take a look, and he was able to remove the rest from the door hinges in a couple of hours without removing the doors. Cost me $150. Easy. ***UPDATE: I would not use this company again. Jim told me point blank at the initial meeting they could move a thermostat from the middle of a wall (eye sore) to the corner so I could have a cleaner look. This was something I expressed wanted and was told it was no problem. After the contracts are signed, and after invoice after invoice was paid on time, I would bring up the thermostat being moved, and it was always pushed to the side in the conversation. Eventually, I was told by Jim that it would be too expensive to do and far too difficult. In the end, the thermostat stayed in the same location and they replaced it with a new thermostat of their choosing. The thermostat they chose and installed has poor reviews online. The thermostat has not been giving accurate readings since April and we reached out to some HVAC companies about coming by to check it out. Three companies came and all said our HVAC system was fine, but the new thermostat Jim installed was faulty and was the problem. There was no way for us to get an accurate reading. I texted Jim the situation and told him that the HVAC company we trusted and we have used before was on site and was willing to install a new thermostat including labor for $300. He texted me back saying that he was at a sporting event in WI and would call me as soon as he could. In my text, I asked him how he would like me to proceed, and if I should have the new thermostat installed since the HVAC guy was already here and if they would reimburse me or if they wanted to come by and replace it later. I never heard back from Jim, ever. Not a peep. So unprofessional. I have passed along his information to 3 designers as I'm in the industry. This is not how you treat customers. The HVAC company came back days later and installed a new thermostat - now everything is fine. I paid for this out of pocket. Still, nothing from Jim.

A client of mine referred Mr. Baltudis many years ago when he was working on a Jordan Mozer project (Hudson Club)...needless to say; I was looking for someone to manage a small custom build project which was rather challenging. Mr. Baltudis pulled it off...and what impressed me was his complete knowledge not just as a builder but as a well rounded Industrial designer as well. Aside from running into several issues that are standard in the industry (bad weather, schedule conflicts, Code modifications, etc) I've never had any issues with Mr. Baltudis. I have continued to use Mr. Baltudis on many occasions since then; several restaurant, Bar, and some rather unique architectural projects. He was responsible for coordinating and maintaining these large dollar projects and some prototype runs and never came up short on the dollar side...I'm sure I'm not the only one who has benefited from his services.
