Since then, they have done a new deck floor and steps, installed a new kitchen floor and additional kitchen cabinets with a light fixture. We are planning our next project to include custom built in storage and exterior and interior painting. The owners, Aldemar and Diego work seamlessly and have a dedicated team who are professional, polite, on time and do a top notch cleanup. I would highly recommend them to anyone doing home remodeling.

I can't say enough positive things about Tony, his work and his business practices. He and his team…read morehave worked on my house for the past 20 years from our original whole house renovation to upgrades and updates as needed. He built out a full basement for us which included bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, utility room, closets and even a real cedar closet with actual cedar planks including the ceiling. He has replaced every window in the house with Andersen windows and even added French doors, sliding doors and a box window. He changed every door in the house to solid six panel doors and assisted in the family room and office built in by installing them. He build the most incredible custom walk in closet converting a bedroom into a spectacular use of space. He has renovated 3 bathrooms and kept them updated as needed most recently replacing a honed marble threshold in the shower and reinstalling the custom glass doors. The most recent improvement was the replacement of our gas water heaters since the old ones were starting to leak. He not only upgraded what we had, had the new ones delivered and installed all in one day in order to get us back up and running with little inconvenience. He has installed whole house water filtration, added instant hot and a garbage disposal making sure we have all the modern conveniences a home should have. He treats our home as if it is his own. On a personal note he has seen my children grow up and we have seen his son join his business and grow and learn from the best.

The team worked seamlessly with the architect and the inspectors to make sure the permits were all in place. Tony was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was patient in answering my numerous questions and concerns along the way. Gus (the main carpenter) was incredible in installing custom built in shelves in various areas. He is a true artist!! The whole team of guys were pleasant and knowledgeable and fun to work with. I actually missed seeing them everyday when the house was complete! Now it is a year later and I contacted Tony to touch up a few areas and he was quick to respond and as pleasant and helpful as ever! I would highly recommend Tony and the Functional Spaces team! So thankful to them for making my home incredible!

Ambassador just completed a total house rebuild, renovation, and extension for us following major…read morefire damage, and the result is beautifully done. We chose Ambassador because of their strong online reviews and long-standing reputation as a licensed General Contractor in the Town of Oyster Bay. Gary, the president, impressed us with his firm commitment to getting the job done within our insurance-imposed timeline and budget. Their mid-Long Island showrooms gave us added confidence. We already had our architectural plans ready, and Gary quickly understood exactly what we needed. His team demonstrated military-like execution: decisive, streamlined, and efficient. Professional crews were rotated smoothly, always keeping the site in line with industry standards and town codes. Jeffrey, our project manager, was passionate, resourceful, responsive, and friendly. He met with me as early as 7:00 a.m. whenever needed to review the status, and sent evening photos of the progress. Whenever I had a question, he addressed issues almost immediately with his team. We worked on a basis of deep mutual respect and good faith. Jeffrey even went above and beyond to manage costs to fit our budget. As a brand-named general contractor, Ambassador hires certified professionals for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Their masonry and carpentry teams were highly skilled, custom-building everything to look neat and clean. Thanks to their experience, town inspections were all positive, and the final walk-through was incredibly accommodating to ensure we will get our CO smoothly. Overall the result - achieved in a reasonable timeframe and price - was good. I am glad we hired Ambassador, and I am deeply grateful to Gary and Jeffrey for their dedication and help. I highly recommend them to any family looking for a trustworthy, capable contractor.

We allowed you on our property triple the amount of days the homeowner said she needed and…read morefrequently moved our cars out of our own driveway at a moments notice. We stopped cooperating when you then asked for more days occupying our driveway and inconveniencing use, and refused to pay for 2 flat tires you caused by not cleaning the numerous nails you left in our driveway and in the street, and to clean out all the roofing debris left in our gutters from when the roof was gu The only one who harrassed anyone was one of your workers when a photo was taken of a fire hydrant being taken apart. People have the right to protect their property from further damage, especially from a company who made it very clear that they do not care and would not make good on damage they knowingly caused. The only "chronic police calls" on this street have been related to your vehicles blocking access to our property, blocking the street and impeding traffic on weekends, and your employees menacing us and trespassing on our property. We have owned this property since the early 70s and have only had issues with your company which apparently thinks it has the right to trample peoples private property. There were many other occasions where we could have and should have called the police. But did not because you're employees are so disgusting we feared retaliation through additional damage to our property. Learn to show respect for people neighboring your projects. Learn to be honest and communicate. Maybe if you did any due diligence and spent anytime at your project sites you would be aware of how your employees act when you're not present.

Okay, the tilers showed up yesterday. They replaced two tiles (My husband had wanted to return the…read moreexcess tiles after the initial installation. I think he's glad he listened to me now.) and did the grouting. The grout that met the counter top to the wall also had started to crumble so they put clear silicone along the seam. I don't understand why that wasn't done when they first did the job. I don't know how a chunk of silicone got on my refrigerator, but I noticed it today and removed it. I thought that was a bit careless, hence three stars instead of four. The tilers need to be more careful. My husband will probably think that's petty of me, but it shouldn't have been there! I will continue to update my review. If I don't have any additional issues, I'll update again and up the stars.

WOW WOW WOW! Posh came highly recommended from multiple people and it is east to see why. Ron and…read moreJanet spent the time with us to find out what we truly wanted and guided us all along the way. Their team was so professional and courteous. Joe, the project manager oversaw everything to make sure it was just how we wanted it. He and his crew were always happy to answer questions and explain the progress. Very responsive to calls or texts while work was going on. They completed two bathrooms for us- from demolition to completion- in just about three weeks. And the finished product? You could not recognize the bathrooms. We are over the moon with how they turned out and our guests are blown away. They matched what we had envisioned. Attaching some before and after pics so you can see the transformation. This included moving toilets, expanding a shower, replacing the tub with a larger one, custom materials, etc. and they still manage to do everything in a speedy, efficient way. Maybe the best part about Posh- not only did they offer a great price (their quote was better than 4 other companies who did not have nearly as good reviews), but they stood by their work! Too many times you hear of companies that ignore customers as soon as they get paid. Posh recognized some countertop was cut incorrectly before we could even view it and decided to replace it because it did not meet their standard of excellence. They even came back to our house to remove and replace a single tile because it had a mark on it we wanted removed. They care about the work they do and it shows. I cannot recommend them enough, and when we are ready to redo our kitchen, they are our first, and probably only, call.

Ron and the team here are great. Absolutely professional and they do excellent work. !!!read more

Michael and his team completed a gut renovation of my Manhattan Co-op. Specifically, this included…read morecompletely redone kitchen, bathroom, closets, living space, etc. I performed an exhaustive search for the right contractor and Michael exceeded all the others by far. Here is why: 1. He has a background as an engineer and is keenly focused on precision, taking immense pride in his projects. This means everything is measured to the T and the work is tastefully done. You really want someone with a sharp eye for the details and that was evident throughout the project. For example, Michael spent an entire day taking me on tours of his other projects (with permission from his other clients of course). This way I could see his work up close and also gather ideas for my own project. I particularly liked a radiator cover I saw at one place, and Michael custom designed two for me as well. (Pics attached) 2. He has integrity and remains accountable even after the last bill is paid - also every additional cost is communicated in advance so you can approve or discuss. No surprises with Michael. For example, after the project was over, I had moved in, and Michael had moved onto another project, I noticed a small crack in the crown molding that Michael and his team had installed. This was due to the intense heat in the apartment as the radiators cranked up for the winter months, with temps exceeding 80 degrees. As soon as I let Michael know, he came back within the same week and addressed the problem at no extra charge. I thanked him for coming and he said "no need to thank me, it is our obligation." There are so many more examples and to me, that is an impressive level of integrity in a tough business, and shows how much Michael cares deeply about the outcome of his projects. 3. He is in constant communication. I am very hands-on and used WhatsApp to communicate with Michael and his team on a daily basis. For example, I couldn't be there to pick out the grout to be used in the bathroom tiling, but had an idea that I wanted it to match with the grey tile on the bathroom floor. Before purchasing and applying, Dan (Michael's son) sent me a WhatsApp message with a picture of the grout they suggested for purchase next to a sample of the tile that was used for the bathroom floor. I was able to make the decision while from my desk at work. Depending on how involved you want to be, the team definitely accommodates. This way you can view the progress on a daily basis and be involved in as many decisions as you want to be. 4. It's a family business. Michael has brought his wife (Jenny) and his son (Dan) into the business. They are a close knit team and tirelessly together to make sure the job gets done. Each of them have unique strengths that they bring to the table and, to me, this personal touch just made the experience that much better because I had the assurance that everyone was always on the same page and always communicating. 5. He takes you shopping. One Saturday, Michael took me shopping to help me decide on all of the materials. I did not have to buy on that day, but I ended up picking out almost everything because the prices at the places he brought me could not be beat, not to mention the options were plentiful. I had used Pinterest to build a concept and this helped guide me throughout the day. With Michael's help, I ended up selecting: all bathroom and kitchen tiles, subway tiles, granite countertops, kitchen sink, kitchen appliances (fridge, range, microwave, dishwasher), air conditioner, kitchen cabinets, bathroom sink and mirror). Some other things like the toilet, light fixtures and door handles I purchased off Wayfair. But it was such a relief to get the main things done. So to sum things up, I was recently asked if I would do another renovation with Michael. The short answer is a resounding YES, and the long answer - read the above and see pictures attached.

After my first experience with a contractor I then asked the building which contractor they recommend and was told Hakka Contracting. I am so glad with the wonderful renovation Hakka Contracting did for my bathroom, kitchen, floors, and walls. They are very passionate about their work. I originally was only going to renovate my bathroom, kitchen, and paint my walls however they recommended that I add wood floors which I am so happy with. Their prices are great and they are honest. I highly recommend Hakka Contracting for any renovation projects you plan on doing. In addition Michael and Danny are very personable.
