My landlord and I were trying to help his business out but instead he yelled and hung up on me and did the same to my landlord. We won't be using his services and based on my experience with him, would not recommend him. He was completely accusatory and condescending and hung up on me. How could you gray someone like that to enter and fix up your home? No way.

When deciding to renovate our Manhattan apartment we interviewed several contractors (as we have…read morehad negative experiences in the past). When we met Richard Goldberg of Noble Metro Home Improvement, we felt very comfortable: he arrived on time, took the time to answer all of our questions and address any concerns that we had. He also provided us with helpful suggestions and educated us on the different material options available. We then received a detailed estimate, addressing every aspect of the job, broken down into the different aspects of the job and in an easy to understand format. We were changing the doors in our apartment, putting in a new kitchen and repairing and painting the walls. Throughout the job, Mr. Goldberg, was always easy to reach and fully supervised every aspect of the job to insure the quality of the finished product. Everything came out great and was completed in a timely manner. The workmanship and materials were all top quality. We are very happy with the results and give Noble Metro Home Improvement our highest recommendation.

Asgar won out for having the best combination of attention to detail and reasonable cost. His crew was professional and efficient, and they were able to complete the job before the cold set in. Waterproofing is all about how long it lasts, of course, so we had a little hiccup when we noticed some waterproofing flaking off in one section in the spring. Once Asgar heard, he was back out to take care of it, so I've got to give him credit there. We did have some miscommunication around what days/times it was OK for his crew to perform work; it can be difficult to be certain we're on the same page at times. But we've happy with the work and the cost, and if we had to do it over again, we'd stick with them.

BOOOOODishonest billing practices!!!!!!!…read more I used Matt from JDM recently to inspect a storm drainage system and he gave me a fair price. Sadly today he unclogged a tennis court drain and charged me 481.50. He charged me by the hour to regale me and my painter with stories of his father's passing when he was 5 years old, and the decent rearing his mother gave him and his sibling despite her single parent status. Then he went on about the new house he moved into after living with his mother and stories of a movie star (Chaz Palmiteri) that he installed sprinklers for, who owned a German Shepard that bit him on the buttocks and drew blood. He included a lecture about people who sue for such things but not him, no sir. Finally he told me how his uncle had trained him as a plumber and put in a plug for his previous employer Michael Palotta and his blue trucks and his father Cesar who had passed away. He also sent me on a wild goose chase suggesting my sprinkler main was broken and it was not. He continued to experiment with ideas of what might be wrong with my sprinkler long after my irrigation expert assured him over the phone that the main shut off was closed. He even called him back to ask more questions after he had been told the system was working perfectly and is monitored remotely by an app which would have shown problems. After all this blah blah he charged me by the hour. Very dishonest!!! I tried to suffer his jabbering politely as I am a physician and know some people are lonely and need to vent, but I never intended to pay for his therapy! Beware of people who think they deserve payment for wasting your time.

Shortly after moving into our Manhattan apartment we learned that the plumbing pipes for the…read morekitchen and laundry closet were not up to code. A foul smell in the laundry closet made this an urgent repair issue. We hired JDM Contracting to do the job, which entailed removing 15 running feet of plaster wall on the other side of the kitchen wall, removing a portion of the laundry closet wall, replacing the drain pipes and water pipes for both the kitchen and laundry, replastering the walls, and repainting. I couldn't believe that the bedroom wall would ever look as good as it did beforehand, but it was perfect, thanks to the plasterer who was a master craftsman. Mickey Bagley was a pleasure to work with. His men were professional, highly capable, courteous, trustworthy, reliable, responsive, punctual, and as unobtrusive as you can get in this kind of space. It was such a relief to have someone that I could count on to do a great job.

Review for Just Call Joe LLC At first Joe seemed very…read moreprofessional and said all the right things to get the job. We hired Just Call Joe LLC for a large project including a full kitchen renovation, coffee bar, enlarging our pantry opening with barn doors, two bathroom renovations (one expanded), lighting in several rooms, a ceiling fan installation, utility room renovation, roofing work, and installation of an electrical subpanel. Unfortunately the experience was extremely frustrating. The project start date kept getting pushed back and once work began there were about 12 no-call/no-show days, constantly delaying the project. The biggest concern was the quality and safety of the work. The electrical work was not done to code. The subpanel had neutrals tied to the ground bar, cut wires inside the panel, and incorrect wire gauges that could have created a fire hazard. Plumbing work repeatedly leaked and had to be redone multiple times. At one point there was a suspected gas leak and instead of using proper detection equipment Joe tried checking with a lighter. I had to purchase a gas leak detector because he did not have one and insisted there was no leak in the crawlspace. Bathroom work also created additional costs for us. Joe was unable to properly install our shower doors and had to redo tile work, which forced us to buy additional tiles. His incorrect measurements also caused us to purchase the wrong size vanity. Other workmanship issues included sloppy caulking, improperly supported drain pipes, improper water heater ventilation, and incorrectly installing a ceiling fan that I had to fix. In the kitchen he installed cabinets without removing the protective floor paper underneath them, which is still visible today. Another issue involved windows he claimed were picked up. After terminating the job we learned he never picked them up and had only placed a deposit. He promised to reimburse us but never did despite multiple calls and messages. The only work that turned out well was a butcher block table and shelving he built. Due to the delays, no-shows, safety concerns, and additional expenses we incurred, I would strongly caution others before hiring Just Call Joe LLC.

Abe from Lifta came out and gave an honest assessment of my garage floor fix and proposed many options and color schemes to fit my requirements. He promptly gave me a quote the next day scheduled start date on the same week. The Lifta Epoxy Flooring team arrived on time and with proper face coverings and started work on the floor. They properly prepare the floor which requires a complete sanding of the surface and repairing cracks before you can start applying layers. While his team worked he displayed real examples of all the endless textures and colors that can be applied. I took the silver base with gray swirls and metallic sparkles. The job took a total of three days (part-time) as each layer of coating (Adhesion, base, swirl, clear coat layer) needs ample time to dry and cure. In the end, the epoxy flooring looks amazing and I'm so happy with this work knowing it's also going to be a great investment into the value of my property.

John O'Kean of Oak Construction is one of the best contractors in Hoboken. We had him re-do two of…read moreour bathrooms, and he was consistently fair, on budget, and very reliable. I also found him easy to work with, very friendly, and a GREAT problem solver. Let's face it, every construction project has bumps in the road, and it is wonderful to have someone who will work through those bumps creatively to come up with the optimal solution. That is John O'Kean and his crew. I also trust John and his workers completely, something that is very important when you are giving him your house key, and leaving his crew alone in the house during the day. He is also clean, and protective of your home during the construction process. His prices are fair, he comes in one time, and he is a true craftsmen. He gives every project a level of detail you rarely see in a contractor these days. I know you can find a more expensive contractor in Hoboken for your next project, but I am quite sure you won't find a better one.
