Peter took the time to answer my questions during the bidding process. Haven't selected a vendor yet, but wanted to commend Peter for his professionalism and patience during the bid process. I will update this review if I end up choosing Peter read more

Peter was great, connected same day, came by and resolved the issue quickly. Highly recommend.

BEWARE!!! Hired this guy to do some odds and ends in my NY home as I travel a bit. He did a couple of small jobs for me and seemed reliable and trust worthy. Gave him the lock box info, so he could have access to get in for the work. I get home one day to find sheets on the bed that I left bare... huh? Clothes strewn about. His iPad sitting on my bed and slippers under the nightstand. Has this guy been sleeping in my house? I then noticed familiar liquor bottles on the book shelves and mantel above the bed. Rare stuff acquired from international travel that sit there empty. All of it. Every single ounce from every single bottle bottle was gone. Some of the stuff I'd never even opened. You can imagine the anger and sense of betrayal when I find out he rummaged through boxes of my deceased mother's things and for sure stole an LV purse. When I confronted him, he said he didn't want to stay with his grandmother... what?! When I discussed it with a lawyer, they said there is little i could do legally because I have him access. Don't give this guy access to your home. read more

Awesome job Peter. Not only did you caulk but also spotted a few things that needed assistance. Thanks so much.

Extremely bad. Not reliable. The tech had no idea what is wrong with the system, why it's was not working. I do not recommend this company to anyone. read more

I hired A1 Construction many times. They do plumbing work, tiling jobs for the bathroom, putting the drywall back on the ceiling, etc. I couldn't be happier with the service. They were prompt, professional, and highly knowledgeable. The problem was fixed quickly and efficiently. I also appreciate that they are fully insured, which gives them access to the doorman buildings. I highly recommend A1 Construction to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy plumbing services! read more

Non responsive and ridiculous- asked for tip for just looking at a toilet and said "a person like you with a nice nyc apartment can't tip?" Made me SO uncomfortable. read more

I needed a single 8-foot curtain rod installed in my apartment and sent out a request for a quote via Yelp. Most handymen replied to me with a quote between $120-170, but I was shocked when Peter replied "give me $400". I'll admit that I cannot verify if his work is up to par, but the exorbitant quote was insane and I did end up choosing another service provider, who did a decent job. read more

A very responsive, responsible, and honest repairman whose work adheres to a very high standard. Finding a straight shooter in this particular business can sometimes feel impossible, but A1 did exceptional work for me and were open and transparent throughout the entire project. There were no hiccups whatsoever, the whole thing went seamlessly. Cannot recommend this handyman enough. read more

I had a great experience with Peter and A1 Construction. I needed some last minute home repairs (local floor sanding, customizing a shower curtain rod for a unique shower shape). Peter got everything done perfectly and was great to coordinate and schedule with. His work is high quality. Highly recommend. read more

Had an non-working outlet in apartment. Peter responded to my yelp inquiry, gave me a quote, picked up the parts, and fixed the issue all in about 4 hours total, for a reasonable price. Would absolutely work with again! read more

Peter is great !! I was looking for a handyman for one of my properties for a while , and finally find the right one. He resolved our issues with dishwasher and AC in a second. Highly recommended !! read more

Peter has been amazing to work with, he has always been quick to respond to any sport of request and emergency. As a building manager not based in the say state, it is priceless to have someone you can trust and will be there for you the best and earliest he can. No matter what project we have thrown big or small, he is always accommodating and goes above and beyond. Would recommend any day! read more

Punctual, knows the job and detailed. Peter beat everyone else's price on yelp and came to my home and installed a frameless shower door for me. Very happy with the end results. A well deserved 5 star review. Thank you ! read more

A Leak showed up in the ceiling downstairs, we had no idea where it was coming from. Our insurance send another plumbing company who tried to make the issue bigger than it was to make a profit. They didn't even located the source of the leak. The insurance company realized they were dishonest, denied their claim and called A1 construction instead. I was so happy with A1 construction. He was honest, professional, friendly and he knew what he was doing. He located the source of our leak and fixed the problem on the same day and in no time. Book A1 construction, you would not regret it. read more

Peter's work is exceptional, we have used his services twice going on our third time tomorrow. Professional, prompt, and friendly! Highly recommended read more

Peter is that rare find who under promises and over delivers. He showed up, used good judgement and got a difficult job done, even though it required multiple visits. He was tidy, resourceful and I would highly recommend him for those jobs that are too big for yourself but not big enough for a major contractor. read more

Peter arrived promptly on Sunday with short notice and solved a perplexing behind the wall wide spread water leak right away. It appears experience does matter in this case. With tremendous patience and a big smile throughout, he searched for the unusual parts needed in various hardware stores, and moved multiple appliances to fix the broken part. There were times when he could have taken a short cut but he did not. We always appreciate a technician with a well appointed toolkit to help maximize the chances of getting the job done in one visit. The price he charged is fair for the amount of headache of this job. I would call Peter next time I have a problem again. Peter also has an edge over his peers because he appears to know a lot about carpentry and electronics. Many thanks for the good job. read more

I called A1 construction one morning. The elctrician was available few hours later. Once on site, he was able to identify the problem promptly. He fixed it. I found him knowledgeable, reliable, professional and honest. His fees are reasonable. I will contact him again. read more

Showed up on time assessed the issue and made the repair VERY quickly. Afterwards he allowed me to make an assessment of the work and openly and honestly answered all my questions even advising me on things that could become problematic and WHY. Also very friendly and conscious of safety protocols, especially with COVID and OSHA. read more

We are a physical therapy clinic and has 10 clinics, we needed a handyman ASAP one time and he is reliable and fast. Definitely recommend him as a handyman. We will be using A1 services going forward. read more

Peter was quick to respond and was able to come the same day we connected. I had a fairly simple issue with a lighting switch that he was able to quickly diagnose. Unfortunately one of the connectors was busted, so he came back the next day and finished work after I got the new piece, Great service, great guy. read more

Needed doorbell wired and installed -- Peter responded very quickly, did the job really well and was pleasant to interact with!! Highly recommended if you need any handyman work read more

Peter was really helpful in helping to install two Danfoss thermostatic radiator valves (TRV) in my apartment. He came by to make sure I ordered the correct valve and then installed the valve in two radiators later that week. Peter was friendly, flexible around my schedule and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely reach out to him for more help in the future! read more

A1 Construction - thermostatic radiator valve - Handyman Near Me

Excellent service. Called in the morning, Peter was here in about an hour and fixed everything quickly and efficiently, including the kitchen electrical outlet (two appliances were without power), changing a ceiling light fixture, installing some bathroom hardware, and fixed some kitchen shelving. Price was very reasonable too. If you are looking for a good and honest "do it all" type of guy, look no further, his name is Peter at A1 Construction. read more

Peter is great. We needed someone to run a 220 volt line to the outside of the building so we could install a split AC. He did the job quickly, capably, and professionally. And he was super conscientious, even being so kind as to take off his shoes inside the apartment. He's busy, so communication can be tricky at first, but once we looked things down, the job went quickly. We'll definitely reach out to him again when we need some electrical work done. read more

Peter R. went above and beyond for me yet again, basically increasing my property's value ever so slightly and for that, I am very grateful!i read more

Not easy finding a good plumber so I was very happy when I got Peter. Reliable, affordable and most of all knew what he was doing. Very fast too. Super knowledgeable. Fixed both my sinks and pipes in no time. Was able to point out issues that other plumbers didn't bother too. Would highly recommend. read more

Peter was quick, friendly and helpful, and sorted out an electrical issue my landlord had taken weeks to fix. Definitely will call him first next! read more

Excellent, professional service. I called Peter regarding some toilet issues and he got right back to me. He was not only efficient, but made sure everything was working in top condition. He was extremely thorough and took care of everything very quickly. I would use him again in a heartbeat. read more

Been using Peter for years. Good guy. Comes and deals with everything for a fair price.

Peter was reliable, professional and made sure the job was done right. We hired him for some electrical work which required a few steps, the last of which took place a month later when the renovation was complete. He checked in with us regularly and came back to finish as soon as we were ready, even after he had been paid in full. He also offered great advice for other parts of our project. I will definitely use him again. read more

We needed A-1 for emergency plumbing. Not only were they quick to respond they did an amazing job! I highly recommend them for any and all services! They are very reasonable price wise as well! read more

Peter responded to my phone call and had my electrical issue fixed the same day. He ended up installing a ceiling fan and a light fixture for a very reasonable amount. Very knowledgeable and professional. read more

We had an issue with our hot water boiler, Peter responded quickly on a Saturday and fixed it that day. He went the extra mile and went to Home Depot for the part we needed and came back quickly to finish the job. Would definitely call Peter again in a similar situation. read more

Peter did an excellent job for us with a tricky plumbing problem. He even came on a Sunday. 5 stars well earned.

I called Peter on Thursday to ask for a quote to fix my buzzer, he never responded, so I called back the next day, at which time he said he might be able to stop by later that evening. I never heard from him, so I followed up on Monday, at which time he said he would be able to come by the next day at 9am. On Tuesday he shows up late at 10am, told me the buzzer would be $200 + parts to fix the buzzer. He removed my lock, and then left at 11am to take another job, told me he'd be back at 2pm, showed up at 5pm. When it was done, he told me he was gonna charge me $400 instead of the $200 we agreed on because it was more work than he anticipated. I explained to him that I do not conduct business in this manner, and would be paying him the agreed upon price. He was upset, and very unprofessional. I will not be using or recommending his services again. The two stars are because after many inconveniences, and him disrespectfully trying to take advantage of me, he did in fact fix the buzzer. read more

Unreliable. This guy gave us a bid to do some electrical work on a rental property in Brooklyn. We got it approved by the property owner, and then he bailed. Never responded to calls and emails. Left us hanging with a bid that we had to honor. read more

I've used Peter twice now, and I've been very happy both times. He's quick to reply, communicative, and works efficiently as well. The last time I had him by I have a laundry list of stuff to be done, including lighting install and plaster work, that he finished in a few hours. And he knows what he's doing. The work isn't slapdash, nor does it look fine only to come apart the next day. He's reasonably priced, and honestly in my experience if anyone is "cheap" there's a reason for it. He's a trustworthy, skilled electrician and a great go to handyman for basics, in addition to being a totally nice guy. There are so many people out there who have no idea What they're doing. He's the only number you need in your phone. read more
