I spoke to a lot of renovation companies before choosing NYKB and honestly most of them felt the…read moresame until I met Maia. What stood out immediately was that she didn't just try to "sell" me a bathroom. She actually paid attention to how I live day to day and designed the space around that. She noticed little things I didn't even think about, like where lighting should hit the mirror, storage that wouldn't make the room feel crowded, and materials that looked expensive without feeling cold or overly trendy. The biggest difference with NYKB was that the process never felt chaotic. Usually when people talk about renovations it's horror stories, delays, and constantly chasing people down. I never felt that here. Everything felt intentional and handled. Maia somehow managed to make a renovation feel calm, which I didn't think was possible. Now that it's finished, my bathroom genuinely feels like part of a luxury hotel suite but still personal and comfortable. Everyone who comes over comments on it immediately. Looking back, choosing NYKB was probably the best decision I made for the project. Maia has an eye that's very hard to find.

NYKB IS AMAZING! They have been reconstructing an apartment in a UWS brownstone, where there was a…read morekitchen fire. The apartment belongs to an 88-yr old man, who has lived there for over 50 years. Every step of the reconstruction process in this 1890 building has been high-quality in every respect, including communications with the insurance company and with the coop board and other residents. In addition to their professionalism, the compassion and kindness demonstrated consistently by every member of the NYKB staff has touched us deeply. The fire and loss his home have been emotionally distressing for this elderly friend, but we have been comforted beyond words by the experience of working with NYKB. I am happy to provide this review, because I was guided to NYKB by the reviews of others. Be assured that you can engage NYKB with confidence.

I can't complain about the remodeling of my kitchen. The price was right and I'm satisfied…read more However, this review is for the very poor customer service I received from the owner Sam We decided we wanted a spring mechanism for the opening if the kitchen cabinets. These were installed but were defective. He never made any attempt to correct the situation. I ordered two doors for a closet and bedroom and paid for them in full ($1000). They never installed them despite having charged my card and making multiple appointments to do so. In addition he never even called to cancel the appointments. Just a lot of no-shows with no response to my texts or phone calls. Very unprofessional I received a refund for the doors of $900. When I questioned Sam he said I would receive the additional $100 in a few days. I never did. But he was quick to charge my credit card (without asking permission) I might add. I cannot in good faith recommend this company. However, if you are into stress, wasted time and effort, this firm is for you. Otherwise do yourself a favor. Pay a little bit more and find someone who respects your valuable time. And STAY AWAY!!!

He did a virtual consultation an hour after I called and he sent me a reasonable quote a day after. The following day he did a walk through. After 6 days, (not including wait time for my tiles to arrive), I have 2 bathrooms and one powder room updated! Even when we ran into some issues (a couple more leaks, plumbing issues, some mold), Kennedy stayed true to the quote he provided me. He and his team were meticulous. Very happy with his work. It's so hard to find an honest, reliable, available contractor here in Westchester who's not going to charge you for every little thing. I feel so fortunate finding him. I already have more work lined up .:)

We discussed a start date, his workers showed up on time on the day promised and the work was done in the timeframe we agreed to. The quality of the work was excellent. They took very good care of my apartment and made sure everything was clean when they left. (If you've ever had workers "do" your place, leaving it neat is not as common as one would hope.) I am looking around my home for our next project knowing in advance I'm going to be happy.

When I became interested in renovating and modernizing my bathroom,…read more I reached out to numerous design and build firms. I got detailed quotes from 4 different firms, while Knockout Renovation didn't provide the cheapest quote, it was very competitive and I felt most comfortable proceeding with them. Both June and Keith have been great to work with and they helped me make the best of my space and proposed designs that fit my needs and aligned with what was important to me. The approval from the co-op board was a struggle and I had to negotiate on some matters with the board. This added significant delays to the work start date and I didn't get approval for everything I wanted. The delays threw some of my plans off. While these delays weren't coming from Knockout, rather from the co-op board, my feedback to Knockout would be to keep track of the average time co-op boards take to approve bathroom renovations and set expectations with clients accordingly. Once the project was finally started, Knockout Renovation delivered on the actual demolition and reconstruction work on time and made sure everything was completed to my satisfaction. I'm extremely happy with the outcome, the bathroom looks and functions great! I would use Knockout Renovation in the future again. Thank you for everything!

And now I have 13 Electrical violations to the electrical work done 7 years ago by Knockout subs that needs to be still remediated!!! Poor response by sub. Talk about a renovation with low-quality of electrical work and safety issues to live with even now in 2026!! Nightmare never ends. A very late apology, but saying 'we thought it was closed' is the core problem -- a licensed GC's name stays on the permit until it's verified closed, and that verification process never happened for 7+ years. The 13 open electrical violations and accumulated DOB fines are the direct result. Resolution would be great, but to date that hasn't materialized for the most important act that any GC undertakes during renovations i.e. permitting and city building code approvals.

Andrew, Robbie, and Rejla made themselves available well beyond the standard M-F 9-5 and bring a level of attention to detail that I haven't seen with any other contractors. The execution of my renovation in Hell's Kitchen was fantastic, but I also valued the knowledge of both building and City requirements that MyHome has in house. This prevented complications, delays, and costs that would be expected with a less-experienced team. They even completed a projected 6-week renovation in half the time. Bravo!

STAY AWAY. I waited…read morea while to write this review since I wanted to let my anger abate and I was busy with other things. But months later I feel a moral obligation to warn people about this company. If like me, you will likely read the reviews and the owner's responses and suspect that they are a good company and that the bad reviews are just from impossible people. But they quell the bad reviews with small payouts and gag orders (see the photo). They use contract workers who may or may not be able to get the job done. The discounts they promise never come true. In fact they quoted more than I would pay as a regular retail customer, for every single item I asked them about. (notice that they don't list the specifics of their discounts on their website...) When asked to come through on what they promise, they are unhelpful at best and often nasty (read the owner's comments on bad reviews to get a taste). When your project has gone on way too long, they haven't come through on any promises and you are at wits end, they may offer you a small sum to not write a bad review. I suspect that many of us, on modest budgets, take the money just to cut some of our losses. Before you get taken in by the good reviews and the pretty pictures, read the reviews again. Notice there are almost no reviews in the middle, only really bad and really glowing ones. The good ones all start to sound the same. Go to a website where employees write reviews and note that many say the company writes their own good reviews. See that gag order and think of how many people they silenced. I am out a lot of money and hope this review saves someone else.

I would strongly advise against using Decor Aid. I had a very bad experience, resulting in a…read morehalf-finished project that I do not trust them to complete in a satisfactory manner. Over the course of a year, I had to work with 3 separate designers because 2 of them quit the company, which caused huge delays in my project. The first time, the company never even called me to let me know. It was only after months of emails and phone calls did I find out he had left and they realized they needed to assign someone else to work with me. He also left after a month. When I finally was paired with a proactive, responsive designer, things initially were going well but we eventually ran into issues with cost. Despite having voiced wanting to be conservative on cost, I kept on being shown very high cost items (if I'm not willing to spend $4,000 on a dresser, do you think I will be interested in spending $6,000 on two cube custom upholstered ottomans?) Finally, they misrepresented some of the pieces to me. They rendered an $1,800 table in the living room like it would be a small side table between two chairs. The table arrived and it was a completely different size that was not appropriate at all for the space( see pictures). When I asked about it, I was told it looks nice in the space elsewhere and that was it- returning it would be on me including the 25% restocking fee and shipping. All in all, not an experience I would recommend for anyone.
