My husband and I were looking to do major interior renovations to our single family home and…read moredecided to work with Mike in hopes to make the construction process less stressful on ourselves given our busy work schedules. Mike and his team executed the work professionally, responsibly and on time with an end product that we couldn't be happier with. Throughout the construction, Mike prioritized maintaining the schedule and worked with us through the construction issues that emerged. Most importantly, Mike provided his insight on the design issues demonstrating a sense of sincerity towards the project and ensuring good quality work. Mike was fair about the payment structure and the billing breakdowns provided made the payment process more translucent. If we had to be critical, there were a few days during the construction when no work was being performed, given this Mike still managed to deliver the completed project on or before agreed upon timing, we enjoyed Mike and his team's professionalism and we were satisfied with the end result.

Wow!!!!! First Impressions is by far the best for home…read morerenovations. My plan was to renovate the kitchen and the floors through out the house. Paul, the owner, gained my trust instantly with his professional and personable manner. Paul was by my side throughout the entire process. For example, he brought me to the flooring store where he assisted me with picking the flooring with the best quality that would work for my home. Everyday, Paul showed up to the house and checked on progress and addressed anything that needed attention. Paul said everything would be done in 4 weeks. After seeing how well the renovations were going, I kept adding additional things to be done including a large beautiful built in for my den which has become the favorite room in the house. Everything was completely finished in 4 weeks. The crew showed up everyday on time. They were respectful, clean and helped out with extra things where needed. I have dealt with tons of construction companies and never had this exceptional experience. After working with Paul, I now consider him and First Impressions part of my family. Thank you to everyone from First Impressions.

Very poor after project follow up. I have a very small bathroom radiator problem. Basically, they…read moreinstalled the new baseboard backwards. This is simple and could be resolved within 1 hour. Four months later and their "plumber" has every excuse in the book for not showing up. Canceled several appointments with very laughable excuses. Showed up 2 times with a wrench and screwdriver only, no tubing or connectors to finish the job. I was warned and did not listen. Be very careful, Paul is very good when the project is being done and the money is flowing. After support warranty, no such thing from them. First Impressions finally resolved the outstanding problem to everyone's satisfaction. The project is now complete and well done. Now I can recommend their services.

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.

I am writing this to offer a different perspective for anyone considering Jerzy and CCSC. While…read moreother reviews mention quick turnarounds and "master craftsmanship," our experience was defined by a chronic pattern of over-promising and under-delivering that turned what was supposed to be a two-month project into an exhausting, expensive, six-month ordeal. Jerzy's initial charm masks significant issues with project management. We were frequently met with assurances that work would be finished "tomorrow" - commitments rarely kept, and a job culminating in shoddy finishing and a general lack of attention to detail, and an interminably incomplete punchlist. More concerning was the breakdown in professional standards. CCSC did work without approval, by either the architect or the client, including the installation of expensive equipment we explicitly didn't want - followed by an aggressive and unprofessional attitude and refusal to remove it, when we objected. By the end of the project, we didn't even want the myriad remaining issues fixed; we simply wanted the team out of our house. Their presence, coupled with the constant broken promises, were a tax on our peace of mind. If you value clear communication, adherence to a schedule, and a contractor who respects your vision, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

We recently had our NYC apartment renovated. Custom Construction Services (CCSC) was selected from…read morethe bidding process. The very reason why they won the bid is the very reason why we are pleased with the results. We were looking for a dedicated crew, ability to deliver the project on time (co-op reno time constrictions), work with our architect, be our general contractor because we lived out of state... and the most important was to work with our new Co-Op community. On top of that, since this will be our last home, CCSC was tasked to make our dreams come true. This is our retirement phase, and we are so pleased with the finished product. The apartment is luxurious because of the plaster wall finish and their custom millwork! As CCSC owns their own millwork facility the milled doors and cabinets are stunningly substantial and up-scale in quality. A modern - old-world charm! CCS is very responsive and passionate about their work. Our assigned crew were master craftsmen and so caring about doing it correctly. We are very happy, and we have received so many compliments. If thinking of renovating CCSC was professional, skilled, efficient, and will work with you to create the living space of your dreams.

If you're looking for a reliable, skilled remodeling team who delivers stunning results on time and with great communication, Dream Homes Remodeling (Alex and team) should be your first choice. Thank you again to Alex and the entire crew for turning my closet into a dream space!

They fully understood the scope from the kitchen to the living spaces, bedrooms, and baths and delivered exactly what we had in mind with professionalism and expertise. What set them apart was their exceptional know-how; they executed the vision flawlessly and even surprised us with extra features that elevated the design beyond our expectations. Alex is a true artist who cares deeply about the finished product and quality craftsmanship. We were away for the final week, and coming home felt like stepping onto a HGTV set the result was stunning and ready to enjoy across every room. Thank you again to Alex and the entire team for delivering a cohesive, beautiful home that inspires daily life and lasting memories.

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.
