Al is a phony and I don't believe he should be inspecting houses. He was recommended to us by our…read morereal estate agent. He showed up without a ladder to inspect a two story house. That was concerning to me but he claimed, "I like to take a lot of pictures." (Big deal so you can use a camera). He missed three critical findings that I later discovered myself and needed to call in a professional for advice/service which would have endangered the health and well being of my family. (1) Asbestos tile in two large rooms (after HE pulled the carpet back he claimed their was only concrete subfloor. (2) A cracked air conditioning duct in the attic that was venting into my infant daughters bedroom which later we discovered was filled with black mold. Our daughter developed a cough as soon as we turned the central air on and now just two days after having the system professionally cleaned she has stopped coughing. (The duct was so obviously broken, it is the first thing you would see but even though Al climbed up there he missed it. (3) Never checked the In Ground sprinkler system. Had he done that, we would have learned the system was not working and the previous owner cut the main electrical line and used an orange extension wire to hot wire the system. ( Electrician claimed it was a fire hazard).

Al is everything you would want from a home inspector. He was extremely reasonable, accessible,…read morethorough and friendly. I did quite a bit of research and price comparisons before deciding to use Al. I spoke to numerous engineers including family recommendations, so I can speak to Al's extremely fair rates. Upon calling, Al immediately assured me that he would conduct a thorough inspection. I had an accepted offer from a seller that wanted to move fast. He was there the next day. When that deal hit a snag and I received another accepted offer, I wanted to move fast. Al was there in less than 24 hours notice. Each inspection he did was extremely thorough and well written and in both cases led to positive outcomes for my home negotiation. Finally, I like working with GOOD PEOPLE. I've never found a job only one person was qualified and capable of doing, so I prefer give my business to someone like Al who was extremely friendly and accommodating.

Creative had previously done our bathroom vanity. We were able to work with Greg on the redesign of…read moreour kitchen which was a total rehab. A good selection of cabinetry and countertop materials for what we needed. One of the advantages of working with this company is they provide an all in price which includes design, fabrication, demolition, electric and plumbing work, drywall, installations of cabinets and all appliances as well as paint. They coordinate everything. Agreed on a schedule and they kept it. No issues with "extra" work coming up during construction either. They are very interested in customer satisfaction. There were some crossed signals on communication but we were flexible so no big deal. Recommend them for kitchen bath work large or small.

TL;DR - Just don't do it. Especially if you are having them install countertops. The lack of…read morecommunication is infuriating during a process that many aren't familiar with. They don't answer (phone calls, texts, emails - you can't leave a VM for either Howard or Jose) and I had 2 no-shows during this arduous process. Well you have called me 2xs and texted me 2xs asking for my review...here you go. I went to the showroom to look and discuss countertops on February 18th, met Howard gave him my measurements of my kitchen, told them we wanted a waterfall. Not once did he mention my island was too large and told me we would need 2 slabs. He did mention my upper cabinets were high, but that during template they would double check (I told him, yeah the design has our upper cabinets higher than standard due to having vaulted ceilings in our home). He recommend I check out Nash Stone (loved them and their selection. Gabby was super responsive, Nash has great customer service!) I picked out 3 stones and by February 25th (a week later) emailed Howard with pictures and asked for price quotes...AND AGAIN GAVE ALL MY MEASUREMENTS + plus the measurements for A WATERFALL. Still did not mention my island is too large. Had to stay on top of him into March but did get a price quote to which I was told I needed to send in the check to hold the stone. When I sent the check in March, Howard just ghosts all calls or texts until early April. By then the stone I wanted was gone, so I had to run back to Nash and picked out a new stone on April 1st. He wakes up April 5th and tells me April 10th they will come to template. They never show. I was told they forgot my house and finished for the day, cool. So they show up to template on April 11th (take my sink at this time too- we will come back to this) and this is when I am now told my island is way too large. Can't accommodate an a waterfall edge, would need a seam for the stone and they recommend taking out 2 cabinets out of island. I emailed Howard that night, and he never ends up getting back to me. In fact, no one will answer me. Can't leave a voicemail his inbox is full. My husband ends up calling...using a different number and wow would you guess who picks up...Howard. He then pushes us off to work with a different designer, Jose. Real nice and super professional move (*I'm being sarcastic here). Jose does come to our house, and explains that we will need to take out the 2 cabinets. Which honestly is just so frustrating to get to this point and learn this. He also mentions several ways he would have designed our kitchen differently, cool super helpful. My contractor comes back rips out the 2 cabinets (goodbye $1000) they come re-template. Now we are well into the middle of May, we get a call on Sunday 5/21 to set up for install saying it will be Tuesday 5/23 and Wednesday 5/24. MONDAY NIGHT AT 6PM, night before install, Jose is rapidly calling us to tell us, our sink is too large. The sink they have had SINCE APRIL 11TH. He is trying to push us to buy a sink off of them, by some luck my husband finds a new sink in the "correct" size (we wanted a workstation sink) and since they have had this sink since April 11th, I now cannot return the sink (goodbye $614.81). They come and do the backsplash that Tuesday 5/24 and then DO NOT SHOW (no phone call, no text nothing, which I took off of work to be there) on Wednesday. You would think they would of said something that Tuesday that they wouldn't be there, or ask for the new sink? I call 4pm on Wednesday the main phone number asking why no one has come and the woman does not have an answer but tells me they need the new sink delivered by 5pm to either Selden or East Northport location. The lack of communication, professionalism, and customer service is a COMPLETE JOKE with this company. I guess if you are not having a full kitchen design you are not a worthy of their time. Thank you for adding an additional 3 months + wasting $1,600 to my renovation that did not need to be. I will not be recommending this company, ever.

They were very reliable, showing up when they said they would, keeping the whole project on track. The entire process felt seamless because they were so professional and on the ball with communication. The best part was their expertise and creativity. They didn't just follow our blueprint; they actually partnered with us. He threw out some professional suggestions and outside the box ideas that we'd never have come up with, and those ideas made a massive difference in the final look and feel. They truly helped us expand our vision without any pressure. The final result is a gorgeous, high-quality kitchen that honestly blew past our expectations. A huge thumbs-up for that guy carpentry. Highly recommend them for any home improvement renovation.

I found Symmetry Closets through Angies List. I contacted Bonnie and she responded quickly. This…read moreis a common theme for Symmetry quick and thoughtful responses. We had Bonnie do multiple closets in our apartment. She came in to measure and sent us her proposal. We wanted some changes and she was very open to making changes and giving us feedback. After we agreed on our layouts she came again to confirm all measurements. A week later Bonnie and her team showed up and worked to get the job done quickly but without sacrificing anything in quality. We love our new closets and would not hesitate to recommend Symmetry to anyone. We believe Bonnie really does care about the final product and she proved she was willing to work to make that happen (she helped do the install with her crew).

One worked in our Master Bedroom, the other in the 2nd bedroom. Two days after installation, I discovered my engagement ring and diamond earrings missing from a box I had on my bedroom dresser (they arrived 1 hour early to the appointment, so I wasn't done removing and putting away all valuables). When I called the next day to report this to the Owner of the Company, I was told "Oh, well it must have been so and so, we fired him the day after your job because he was new and we didn't have a good feeling about him." There was no offer to rectify this and it's awful to know that they are employing people whom are sent into clients homes that are not vetted or who are not trustworthy.
