    Accent Contracting restored my family room after a plumbing leak destroyed a wall and my flooring. I have an open concept space and matching the replacement floor and paint to the existing materials was very important to me. Irving did a fabulous job making it all blend in. His employees were reliable and hard working. I am very satisfied with their work and would use them again.

    Sometimes you just want to freshen up your bathroom but don't want to redo the whole bathroom. I truly appreciate Irving Sovern's help on this. He switched out my vanity and mirror for these two new ones and now I am feeling better about things. Sometimes, you want to achieve a look but want to be fast and inexpensive about it. The story about how Irving and I met was 10 years ago, I was interviewing contractors to perform quite a bit of work on my home even before I owned it. I wanted the entire place painted and floors sanded and redone with all new moldings prior to my family moving in. He was the only one who was actually cool and had prices to match! Since then, he has done my kitchen, my garage conversion into a home office, roof, painted, replaced doors, sliding doors, built closets, and now finally helped us freshen up our both bathrooms. I get to see some lovely homes with my job and when your own bathroom starts to be cringe worthy due to wear, it's unnerving. So here is a quick fix, nothing fancy just a refresh. Simple things in life make me happy I want to recommend Accent Contracting once again. Cool beans in and out in one day! I forgot to get one of the before's but here is the after Fondly, Joanna Renner -- with Michael Renner and Irving Sovern.

    He said don't panic when you see it, we are going to fill it with plaster and he left. Plaster I said??

    It is my personal opinion that this contractor did a horrendous job. He said his work was quality and straight to my face called me "anal". I then escorted him straight out the door after that. I stopped them in the middle of the job because it was the worst quality I had seen in my lifetime. It is my opinion that you should never under any circumstances use this company for anything at all ever.

    He said he would fill this with mud, drywall, instead of fixing it. We tore it down and hung it right. Sheetrock hauled off to the dump.

    Horrendous job. An Old account This is in Marlboro N.J. Let the pictures speak for themselves. Now he wants to file criminal charges for theft because I will not pay for this? We tore it out and took it to the dump and starter over. His men also did damage to my home. This is the worst contractor experience I have ever had in my life. Is he using the criminal court because he knows he has no case in civil court? How could he possibly think I owe him for this in the first place. Industry standard is sheet rock should be 1/8th of an inch apart no more. When it was hung properly every single one of the spots butted up directly to each other.

    We hired Irving to do major remodeling in our house, 3 bathrooms, floors, stairs and few other things. He talks a good game initially, but does not deliver on his promises. The job his company did was below average in quality. He brought in guys to work that didn't know what they were doing and they did a horrible job that needed to be redone. It fell on me to tell one guy he was trying to not come anymore because he wasn't good. We called him few months after the job was done to fix the bath tub because the water wasn't holding and to fix the grout that was falling off the walls because it wasn't done properly. He will probably respond to this to say it is inferior grout, but the grout was purchased from top level tile store and is fine. Lack of knowledge from his crew is what caused grout to crack and fall off the walls. While his worker was fixing grout, he damaged one of the tiles and then pretended that it was like that. While changing the drain in the tub, he didn't install it correctly and that night there was a major leak which damaged our kitchen ceiling. I called him and he said he would come, but apparently leaking water to him is not an emergency. He did not show up that day. My wife left a negative review for him and he basically refused to come until she took it down. In the meantime, we could not use the shower. Eventually he did show up and fix the drain problem. It took me another week to get him to come and fix the ceiling. The job that his worker did on the ceiling was completely horrible, leaving my wife in tears. She went online and put back the bad reviews that she left him, adding this episode to it. He responded by texting me and calling her "your low class bitch". If you want a below average job done, full of excuses and insults hire this guy and his company Accent Contracting. Added some pictures to show quality. If you want a good job done from a professional knowledgeable team, STAY AWAY.

While they were shaving my post I watched a worker take chunks out of the wood. I stated it needed to be fixed. the worker used wood filler that wasn't stainable. it's their job to know that not mine. I allowed them to do the work -I come back to a broken storm door completely bent screws missing that I had to fix myself- there was a gash in my wall on my stairs that I had to fix myself as well - no thank you from the company. there was a blemish on my floor right by kitchen- there was a stain in my closet -there was a stain in my dining room and my post going up my stairs was silver in multiple spots. I addressed this with the owner David Habib and he basically said well there's nothing that they could do nor did he offer any type of compensation. He said they would color it or try to blend it. He Didn't want to pay for the post that they ruined - so my husband said we would split it and we didn't have to. I told him the post could not stay like that/ it needs to be changed/ the post was on back order for three months. I told him when he came if he was going to take the post out I don't wanna have to deal with any more problems- he could not guarantee that. I could've been a bitch and said I don't care if it creates more problems if it creates more problems then you resand the stairs and you fix it but instead because I'm a good person I said I'll just leave the post like that after paying $7000 and I'll touch it up as best as I can thinking that I was preventing him from going into a bigger problem which indirectly wasn't my problem. the spindles on my stairs were taken out and never glued back: sent him a message about that got no response . I decided to call his partner Sean and tell his partner that where I come from this is not how people do business if the job is not 100% then I should be offered compensation and I'm not paying 100% of the bill. This wasn't one issue it was multiple. He came to my home clearly wasn't too happy about taking a dollar off the bill- he just wants to have imperfections in a home and not give a shit. offered a credit to the company and I said a credit will not be suffice. If you hire this company you better make sure the work is perfect because he will pretty much tell you to go fuck yourself and not give a shit about fixing it. My husband told him he needs to take $600 off the bill due to stains that I have to look at and live with for the next 15 to 20 years I think that was pretty fair. Both myself & my husband had no problem with anything else but had a problem with them not taking accountability for the multiple stains and markings that were on my floor after the job was done. we thought All was good but since David Habib had to finally move like a real businessman with morals he's mad- four weeks ago a worker dragged a box across my floor. nothing major the floor just needs to be buffed I sent multiple emails multiple text messages/multiple voicemails myself & my husband for five weeks to try to get in touch with them- they both ignored us. They want to appoint blame at the customer for having a reaction to their work the picture speak for themselves. Got a new company that wanted the color bc its custom - so consistently stated we need information & ignored on every attempt - finally Dave answers 6 wks later and says due to circumstances find someoneELSE to fix the job. I all of a sudden don't want to live w stains and markings on my floor and post that can't be fixed - stay tuned David habib I'm just getting started ur a horrible businessman Ps don't listen to anything he has to say in his response - trying to save face - narcissist- is getting mad at others people's reaction to their shit behavior - what I stated is exactly the truth ! Facts on facts - he finally found a customer that he wants r allowed to cut corners - Conversation from my husband to him has been added - no response. Wonder why . Stay away from this company at all cost

    This is a very important review for me to write, as it is for you to read…read more My family has been dealing with Floor Coverings International for decades. They did our den flooring. They carpeted our basement and recently, took up tiling on our main floor and replaced it with beautiful wood-like laminate. In all of these cases, the work was beautifully done with the utmost amount of professionalism. We keep coming back to this company because we know they do exceptional work. Now, here is the part of the review I would like you to pay close attention to... A few months ago, while our new laminate flooring was being installed, some unexpected damage occurred during the process. While it wasn't severe and wasn't due to incompetence, it's one of those things that can happen when flooring is being pulled up and a cement underlay is being poured. Mike Killeen, the President and Owner of the company, took responsibility. Despite the cost to his company, he made certain that the damage was fixed. Now, to me, that speaks volumes about the integrity of a company and the person running it. I think Mike Killeen is a class act for the manner in which he handled the situation. The key point is that there are numerous flooring companies available. While you're reading this review and deciding which one is the best fit for you, the most crucial factor in that decision should be how well the company will deliver high-quality flooring and installation services and how well they'll be there to assist you if anything goes awry. I don't think you are going to find a better company in the area to meet your flooring needs.

After flooring they returned to re do as the matte was too matte, after 4 months I noticed splitting in the cracks of the coating. It took 15 years to see the cracks on the first coating done professionally. I believe they watered down or thinned down the coating. This is why the 3.5 rating. The original crew showed up on time but did a poor job on the steps. Owner had to come back and re-paint the walls on the stairs. Due to rain, they coated in a small foyer where light was very low the walls o the stairs, when looked in daylight very uneven coating. It is now one year since they have been here, and I see the floors deteriorating much faster. I would do more research on the company before hiring them. There price was reasonable, but the project grew from one room to two rooms and then a stairwell, then a hallway and then one more room. All due to color and rooms flowing into each other. The color has to match. They accommodated me well, but I think the quality was on the poor side.
