I've seen many other victims of Patrick Burns post reviews online and it has given me courage to also speak out. Patrick Burns is a thief, plain and simple. He seemed knowledgeable and experienced at the initial meeting and the follow up meeting. He assured me he doesn't ask for any money in advance but rather only accepts payments as work gets completed. However, after the first week of a very messy and unprofessional demolition in which many original features of the home were damaged beyond repair by Patrick and his crew, he pressured me to give him a large sum of money. When I reminded him that he said he would only accept payments in stages as work was completed, and tried to point out the items that were damaged, he exploded into a violent rage, screaming that he was going to take all his tools and leave my home in the demolished condition which he and his crew had created. His crew, who were present, just stood by quietly. (More on this later.) I felt so physically threatened and in actual and real danger for my life, that I wrote him a check, as I needed to de-escalate the immediate situation. After Patrick and his crew left, I went to the police and reported the incident. Police were hesitant to file a report but advised that I tell Patrick that I changed my mind about using him as a contractor. By the time I went to the bank to stop the check, Patrick had already cashed it. I realized that his crew, who quietly stood by while watching Patrick violently threaten me, are either complicit or apathetic. Either way it is clear that this, for them, is business as usual. Disgusting. Someone should do something to stop Patrick Burns from taking advantage of more homeowners. I now know that his "good" reviews and references are fraudulent. He gets his co-conspirator crew and friends to write fake reviews and take reference calls. read more

I have hired contractors numerous times, and I have found 1Pro NY to be one of the most professional and reliable companies. Mr. Burns and his crew were both timely and professional and went above and beyond in the work that was done at multiple properties. Rental properties are difficult to maintain, and to have complete renovations done in a timely manner is appreciated. The crew works hard and is very diligent in making sure the customer is happy. I applaud them and their loyalty to getting the work completed even in the harsh winter conditions. I was very happy that he took many items to the local charity instead of the trash. I then followed suit and brought furniture to the same place a few weeks later as well, after 1Pro gave me the idea. Also if I may suggest, before accepting reviews at face value, call Pat to schedule a site visit, you will not be disappointed. read more

1Pro NY has made a believer out of me and after reading EVERY review on here, Facebook, and 6 other sites I called for a quote. After reading A.K.`s review I was hesitant until I followed up on calls to the BBB as well the Attorney Generals office. Nothing was filed so .....three days later and I have had the best experience with a contractor. Pat and his team were professional, friendly, and did amazing work. My deck and kitchen were beautiful, and perfectly done. They cleaned up and locked up at the end of the day, and finished under budget. I have referred them to many neighbors in our gated community and there are several happy customers. If you need any work done contact Pat and 1Pro NY. They will be back to do more in the spring. Very Happy Customer read more

Patrick Burns is very dangerous. This "business" is a front for criminal activity. Patrick Burns never had any intention of finishing the work on my home. He tore out my existing kitchen and sold it to his drywall guy, Jason, (who also left the fake review below) for $500. He then created a factious charity to give me a bogus receipt for less than half of the value. He's a real piece of crap. read more

Patrick Burns, owner of 1Pro NY and his co-conspirator Geralyn Fox, Dale Pisarczyk, and others of his goon-crew stole my money, destroyed my home, then stormed off in violent, threatening explosions. Needed to get the police and lawyers involved. Protect yourself and your neighbors. DO NOT let these criminals anywhere near your home! read more

Pat and his staff have helped me several times and I would never look elsewhere. They are professional and courteous, and always on time. M.A.P. read more
