We used Andy and his crew for a popcorn ceiling removal and subsequently for a bathroom gut renovation. In both cases they did terrific work. They were professional,showed up when prom, reasonably priced, cleaned up after themselves each day, and finished on schedule. The craftsmanship was excellent on all fronts - plumbing electrical and tile work and replastering for the ceiling. read more

Fred and his team from Arta were amazing! They completely gutted and renovated my kitchen, sanded and polished floors, painted all my walls, replaced the vanity in my bathroom and changed out all the light fixtures in my apartment. All of this was done within budget and on time (within the 4 weeks he proposed initially!!!). Everything looks incredible and new! Fred is an incredibly patient and kind person who has great pride in his work and will work very hard to make sure you are happy with the end result. I was pregnant during the renovation and he took extra care to make sure I didn't have to do any lifting or moving of furniture or boxes. He communicates clearly about what is happening and responds very quickly to calls and messages. Any time I raised a concern or question he addressed and resolved it quickly. I can't speak highly enough about my experience of working with Fred and the team - I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Fred Gjecaj and his company are without peer. They renovated my bathroom in mid-March 2020. Since I was keeping all my original fixtures (bathtub, sink, toilet) my main concern was they wouldn't be scratched or harmed in any way. Fred had to remove the old wall tiles, sheetrock and marble flooring before laying new glass tiles and ceramic flooring. My fixtures were unscratched. Their work was perfect. Then after this perfect job was finished, we had a leak coming from the shower body behind the newly tiled wall. Fred came back and worked with the plumber to remove four glass tiles in the wall so the problem could be fixed. Then he replaced the tiles so miraculously, one cannot tell which tiles were replaced. Aside from his superior craftsmanship, Fred is responsive and communicative. He and his crew were neat, punctual and completed the job on time, without added expense. To book Fred, you need to set up with him four to six months in advance. He's in high demand. read more

My parents hired Fred and his team to renovate their kitchen and basement a couple of months ago, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Fred was honest, responsible, and always on time. My parents' basement and kitchen turned out to be better than expected. Fred listened to my parents' requests and concerns. At times, he would gladly offer his opinions and suggestions in order to turn my mom's kitchen and basement dream into reality. We are so glad that we chose Arta Restoration, they're AMAZING!!!!! read more

We are referred to Arta Restoration through a coop board member in the same apartment building as they did a wonderful job for her apartment. Fred is extremely helpful and also helped us updated our kitchen ahead of time and completed the scope of works (paint, floor, bedroom closets doors) for our small 2 bedrooms apartment extremely well. We are very grateful to have Fred and his crews on our project so we can move in on time. Fred always has great ideas and accessible via call and texts. Truly one of the best contractors for your next home projects! read more

Fred and his team just did an amazing gut renovation on our kitchen. They turned a dark and dated galley kitchen into the brightest and most luxurious room in our apartment. Fred made helpful suggestions along the way and estimated correctly how much time the project would take from start to finish. The crew is very professional and kept materials clean during the whole process as they knew we have small children and limited space. They meticulously sealed all holes in the walls with plaster as we had been having a vermin problem for months. The crew took time with each detail of the renovation from demolition to installation and painting and they put passion into their work. We will def be calling them for future work in our apartment. The before and after pictures are night and day! The first two pictures posted are the before!!! read more

I could not rave more about Fred and his team. Fred is extremely professional, prompt and friendly. As a first time home renovator, he was so helpful and realistic about everything. Prices and timeline goLs were reached and we never went out of budget. His flexibility made him so easy to work with. He had great recommendations for places to purchase tiles and our apt is beyond beautiful thanks to his hard work and careful attention to details. I would highly recommend Fred to anyone who needs work on their home. read more

This review is for customer service. I'm renovating a co-op in Queens. I had an appt. with Arta Restoration for Dec. 19 at 1p. Fred arrived promptly and stated he'd work with my management company before. The two stars were for prompt phone response and arriving to our appt. time. The reason behind my low ratings were for the following reasons: 1- never reached out to deliver a quote, 2- brushed my ideas and request aside. For example, the main reason I wanted a contractor was to completely re-do my bathroom and replicate a bathroom which photo I'd presented. He brushed it off. When I mentioned flooring he said you could reach to flooring installation. He just seemed uninterested in the apartment all together. read more

We hired Arta Restoration to renovate our kitchen and bathroom and to put in new floors in our apartment. We are very pleased with the level of professionalism and their work. My husband and I were not the most experienced in doing renovations and Fred was really helpful in every respect. As with most renovations, unforeseen issues came up (uneven kitchen sizing in an older building, delay from sources like HD and Lowe's) and Fred was able to help us to come up with ideas on how go about certain changes. We are really glad we went with Arta and highly recommend using them. read more

Fred and Danny are great to work with. I worked with Fred, but Danny was there the first day during consultation. He's very funny to say the least. I was so worried that they were going to be like other contractors; making excuses, lazy, and sloppy, but Fred has been such a pleasure to work with. He actually LISTENS to your requests, and offers suggestions without forcing it on you. He has years of experience working with high contracted buildings as well as resident homeowners. They are priced fairly, produce very clean work, and their turn around time is very fast if you tell them what needs to be done during the consultation. I'm so happy that I found them and will definitely recommend them to everyone. read more

Fred and his team renovated 2 of our bathrooms, redid the fireplace, and worked on some other misc projects. Overall, my husband and I are very please with the outcome. It took longer than expected but I think it's common when it comes to renovation so we were mentally prepared. Plus, we did add many misc things along the way and Fred was super patient and helpful throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Fred's team. One thing I do suggest is to make sure you communicate as much as possible and if there are things you want it done a certain way then make sure you communicate that in advance. read more

We had just purchased a new home. We have 3 kids and we wanted to move in before the school year started. We had trouble finding a contractor willing to start work,as soon as possible and for a reasonable price. Fred and his crew saved the day! They came in and went to work right away. We had general renovation, wooden floors to install and painting throughout the whole house. The level and quality of work was undeniably great! And taken into consideration the time given... amazing company!! Fred was there with us through all the concerns and decision making we had. His suggestions really helped us find what we were looking for in terms of materials and design decisions. A great team leader really makes a difference but his crew was extremely courteous and helpful as well. Such a hard working group of guys deserve praise, especially at the price and level of this craftsmanship. We have dealt with many contractors before and it has been a struggle many times. Some contractors will work at a snail's pace or they may not do the work as you envisioned it or there are problems that arise unnecessarily due to lack of attention on the contractor's part. Fred and Co. are on another level when it comes to customer support and good, quality work. We are forever grateful to Fred and Arta Restoration for the rapid, reasonably priced and skillful hard work they provided for us. I took the time to write this review because it is well deserved. Rest assured, you will not regret choosing Arta. I cannot recommend them enough!!! read more

My Fiancé and I had just closed on a Condo on January 19th, 2016. The whole apartment needed renovations, except the bathroom. I used yelp to locate local contractors with good reviews. We made a list of everything that we wanted done in our apartment and sent the list to a few contractors including Arta and Fred responded to me right away. We scheduled the appoinment for the next day and he was able to accommodate my schedule. We went over our list of items and Fred gave us suggestions that would benefit our apartment and help us save on our budget. The meeting went very well and I felt comfortable with how he responded to A LOT of my questions. Within the next day or so he gave us a quote with EXACTLY everything we asked for so that there was not any miscommunication moving forward. My fiancé and I were very pleased with the detail oriented quote and timeliness. After reviewing all of our options, we felt like Arta's proposal was very fair considering quality of work we saw in other reviewers pictures. Fred gave us a 10-12 day window to complete the project and he and his team met that deadline. Throughout the process, there was constant communication between Fred and I. He answered any and every question I had. His team was very polite, professional and clean. Fred always went out of his way to keep us up to date and let us know if there were any setbacks. I even asked him to run a water hose across the kitchen (not part of the contract) and he did it for me no questions asked. We were so happy with how the apartment came out (pictures attached) and couldn't thank Fred enough with the end result. Overall, I am really glad Fred responded to my inquiry right away. We will defintely call Fred again when we need another contractor. Feel free to contact me for a reference. read more

Fred and his team are fantastic. What began as a smaller project became a bigger one as we added significantly to the scope of the work, but he kept to the schedule despite having numerous other projects that he was working on. Beyond that, he is a very pleasant and courteous person, which goes a long way when dealing with something as challenging as a house renovation. Highly recommended. read more

We had to wait a while for these guys to become available but it was worth it. They worked quickly, quietly, and effectively. The work was done sooner than expected and to our requirements. Finding a contractor I'd positively review on Yelp is a rare thing. read more

Fred from Arta gave me a honest price and timeline. He was very busy and was able to squeeze us in and get the work done during the Holiday season. I appreciate his professionalism and ability to keep the timeline. He was super fast in his responses which is deeply appreciated after dealing with other contractors who never respond. His team worked quickly and cleanly and I highly recommend his company as he is very familiar with the Forest Hills & Kew Gardens area. He did our floors and painted and was able to recommend some design issues we had. I can't say enough how happy we are to have found them and used them. We will be dealing with them again in the future and will be recommending him to all our friends. Thanks again Fred and Arta team! read more

Hired Fred to renovate my apartment. I interviewed a number of other contractors. Price wise he was about middle of the road compared to the other quotes, but I ultimately hired him based on his answers and recommendations to my questions, which was more thorough than other contractors. Also had no hesitation in meeting me again for a second interview, was also punctual to meetings, which both are rare for contractors. 1 or 2 never responded after seeing my job wasn't that big Scope of work - kitchen, floors, walls. He was able to give useful recommendations but ultimately takes your choices. He also added a number of things not originally in contract for a reasonable price, and was open to regular follow up meetings. The walls and floors turned out very well. The floors are level, and the walls smooth. Other notes- worked with my building rules, saved me some money by doing electrical/water work without bringing in another contractor, made some fixes for only cost of materials without additional labor, responsive to emails and text read more

Fred and his team are the most professional crew I've had the pleasure to do business with. His team strives to provide the best quality work possible. We were lucky to have Arta work on our basement and it was well worth the wait. Fred was caring and responsive, guiding us through selecting the correct materials, colors, and overall planning of our basement. Because of them, the turn-around time for our basement was quick. I cannot recommend them enough, and I hope to use them again when the opportunity arises. read more

Way over due. Arta fabulous and works with you rather that giving you a headache of excuses or tries to hold you hostage with incomplete work. Fred and his crew are awesome. Arta finished on schedule and budget. Arta was able to be very competitive in the bidding process. Fred handled all the required paperwork promptly, and assisted with solid recommendations within the budget. Fred and Arta was straightforward with excellent results. Go with a pro, go Arta. They do not fool around and are a honest hard working crew.! read more

I highly recommend Arta Restoration. We recently used them for remodeling/renovating the apartment we purchased. They did a great job with our kitchen which was basically a gut renovation, in addition to installing crown molding, painting the entire apartment, refinishing our wood floors and updating the bathrooms. Fred and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Fred was always available, friendly and professional. He was able to stick to his estimated timeline while being meticulous and thorough in his work. Fred was able to guide us from start to finish and provide us with helpful suggestions and recommendations. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the end result. All crew involved were helpful, considerate, capable and responsive. We could not be more pleased with the quality of their work and our experience with Arta. read more

We went with Arta Restoration to renovate a 2bed/2bath apartment in Forest Hills and were extremely satisfied with the end result. Fred and his team worked efficiently and made us feel comfortable with every step of the renovation. Our kitchen belongs in a magazine thanks to the Arta team. When we were stuck with minor design details, Arta was able to guide us and made us feel relaxed, which is a difficult emotion to feel when you are renovating. When you are looking for contractors, you should demand a company that is accurate with the budget, respectful and courteous and the Arta Restoration team ticked all of these boxes. read more

Arta Restoration and Fred have been a dream to work with. Fred was very responsive and timely in getting a quote together for my bathroom renovation. I found his prices to be very fair. He also helped us find a great plumbing company to work with and was really organized in working with them. Fred had helpful suggestions throughout our entire project and listened really well to our preferences. Not only that, but he started the job on time and he finished on time too. When he said he would be here, he was here, and he worked closely with his crew. He also responded quickly and thoroughly to my (many) questions. I found his employees to be hard working, professional and courteous which of course is much appreciated. The work they did was beautiful! I especially appreciated how neatly they finished the job. It's really rare to find a company that has such a high level of customer service and quality of work and at a fair price. I'm really glad I worked with Arta Restoration. If we ever need general contracting services again in the future I'll definitely work with them again. Highly recommended! read more

We hired Arta Restoration to refinish our floors, paint, and re-do the grout in the kitchen and bathrooms. Fred and his team did an incredible job with our apartment. They took great pride in their work and paid attention to every minor detail. Fred knew that we were under time constraints to move out of our old place, and he and the team worked tirelessly to accommodate our schedule. Fred was honest and fair, and offered money saving solutions that we did not know to even ask for. We are very happy that we hired Arta Restoration. read more

I hired Fred and his team for a complete bathroom renovation and they were, without a doubt, the best contractors I have ever worked with. Fred brought an amazing combination of high quality work and professionalism to this project. He and his nephew made this experience seamless and enjoyable. They went out of their way to make sure that that I was satisfied with every detail. I HIGHLY recommend Arta Restoration for any project and would absolutely hire them again! read more

I am happy to post this rave review for Fred and his company, Arta Restorations. Fred recently handled the gut renovation of my small bathroom renovation in Kew Gardens. He responded promptly when I contacted him, came by to take a look at the bathroom and gave me a written estimate. I had to put the project on hold for a few months and then decided to modify my original plan, deciding to remove my bathtub and just have a shower. Fred came back for a second time and gave me a new written estimate based on my new plan. I awarded him the job and he very promptly provided me with the license and insurance info required by my coop. He did a great job, on time and on budget even though he had to deal with all my coop's rules and some problems caused by the coop's plumber (who had no relation to Fred but who the coop wanted to do some work on the plumbing while the walls were down). Fred was very reliable, always good-natured, professional, flexible and communicative (responding quickly to texts). Several large items were only available for curbside delivery and Fred arranged to have one of his workers there to bring the items up even when they weren't scheduled to work that day. He kept the work site clean and did quality work. He came back the day after work was done and after he had already been paid in full when I changed my mind about how a few things were hung (adding a corner shelf I had first said I wasn't going to use, changing orientation of toilet paper holder, etc.) He thoroughly inspected my apt to make sure he and his men hadn't done any damage when bringing equipment in and out (but sadly the two things he asked me about were long standing damage from long before the renovation started). He even fixed my kitchen faucet for me. Something had come loose some time ago between the faucet and the countertop and Fred noticed it when he was using the sink and asked me if I minded if he fixed it. He is a contractor of integrity, which from past experience seems to be a rarity in the field and I would definitely use him again and wholeheartedly recommend him for your contracting needs. read more

Freddy and his team at Arta Restoration was referred to me by a high end kitchen cabinet business owner. I could not have been any more happy with the quality of work that I received from Freddy. Let me start by saying I just purchased my apartment and the whole second floor's hardwood flooring was painted jet black high gloss. Needless to say that had to go, the kitchen counter tops was formica another big no-no for me. Freddy was able to sand down the entire 2nd floor hardwood and restore it back to its natural wood color THANK YOU and help to put on my backsplash and under counter LED lights. Painted the entire house and took the time to make some really great suggestions. I would definitely recommend Arta Restoration and will be using them again VERY soon for my bathrooms. I have to say that freddy was there almost every day early in the morning to not only check the work, but he rolls up his sleeves and does work as well. read more
