He came to my home to give me an estimate for my first renovations, the kitchen & bathroom. We talked about the designs, ideas and colors.

They are also very patient and worked with me to get every detail just the way I wanted it. They are organized and cleaned up the job site after the projects were complete. I will definitely work with them on a few more projects and recommend them to anyone that wants a honest contractor to work with.

Firstly, my husband was tasked with finding a contractor to redo our only bathroom. We met with 3…read moredifferent individuals and ultimately we chose Carlos because of his attention to detail, transparency and reliability. If you ever dealt with contractors you know some can be extremely shady and not show up or not deliver a quality job. We've been through it and had very sloppy jobs in our home. But from the beginning Carlos was very professional. He drafted out a detailed contract and we felt he was the best to do the job. With two small children we needed a specific set of dates and he was able to accommodate our request. We trusted him and we are glad we chose to work with him. We look forward to working with him on future projects.

I have used Tony and Dreamwork to do many large projects in our home…read more They redid our kitchen - opening walls and redesigning to perfection. He added a deck as well. Next, we did the master bathroom with beautiful tile work. We just redid my basement for the first time in many years. Tony and his crew are very neat, prompt and very friendly. The finishing touches of each part of the projects are what makes Tonys team stand out. They are trustworthy and very professional!!! The price was not the cheapest quotes or the most expensive but worth every penny because of the professionalism and all of Tony's suggestions turned out perfect! I would highly recommend Tony, Paul and the entire crew.

After buying a house that "needed work" the thought of finding a contractor to help us bring it to…read morethe level we were looking for (in the timeframe we had in mind and most importantly the budget) turned out to be a complicated process. My wife and I first attended the Home Show at the Nassau Coliseum to start getting some ideas and meet a few contractors but we quickly found out that that you never really know what you are getting as the opinions and thoughts from each contractor we met varied greatly. After leaving the show we decided to tap our friends and family for contractors they trusted and after compiling that list I decided to check Angie's List for local contractors for if nothing else another option to have. At the end of the information gathering process I was staring at a list of eight contractors to interview, all of which were family or friend referrals except one. On Angie's List we found Dreamwork Remodeling and from the get go Tony was responsive to my inquiry (within an hour we had setup an appointment for that week). When my wife and I met Tony at the house his attention to detail and interpersonal manner impressed us quite a bit compared to others we had met with to that point. He was realistic and even to two people who were not "in the business" we liked the ideas and vision he discussed with us in the short hour we met to walk through what we had in mind. And you could tell he would be personally present and on site for the entirety of the project. After the painstaking interview process we had enough quotes to make a decision and part of the reason we went with Dreamwork was due to the detail Tony presented in the quote. It was very specific and itemized which I found very useful to know exactly what was included and what was not from the get go for planning purposes. He had details down to the model of skylight he would install and the type of thermostats which to me took some of the mystery and unknown out of the large, multi month project we were about to embark on. Once we compared the numbers, Tony's quote was one of the more reasonable options (he was middle of the pack price wise). We decided to go with him after checking an extensive list of references he provided some of which my wife and I ended up knowing indirectly which helped give us confidence that we were picking the right person for the job. He also worked with me on his final number to get us where we wanted to be price wise without sacrificing too much which I certainly appreciated. After paying the deposit Tony's crew began demo work in about a week's time and from then I had a feeling we had hired the right person, strangely enough the one contractor who was somewhat "random" and had not done work for any of our friends or family. His crew was professional and he sent me pictures of his progress from day one so we could track how things were going. We had many calls and meetings at the house throughout the project and not once did I feel like we were just a number, he treated our house like it was his own in terms of the work done but also the sensitivity around the budget. Once the demo was done we began planning our kitchen and the other design elements of the job and Tony was personally involved in every aspect of it offering insightful advice along the way based on experience and with our budget in mind. Not once did I feel he was trying to "upsell" us to do anything that wasn't in the contract. I am a very analytical detailed person by trade so I was skeptical of this every step of the way based on what others had said but this was not an issue for us at all throughout the job. The only things that ended up costing us more were our choice to do and sensible things not just a tack on so his sub could get in extra days work. Even the elements of the project that ended up costing us more than what was in the quote ended up being in the spirit of doing the right thing and future proofine which is critical when you are taking on a project of this size. For example, once the interior sheetrock was removed my wife didn't like the look of the old radiators we had intended on keeping and Tony suggested removing them and going with a gravity system (not forced air) to heat the house and remove the radiators at no additional cost which has turned out to be a great suggestion as I sit here in December writing this. Another example of this would be the insulation, at no additional cost to me Tony suggested insulating the outside walls with spray foam as opposed to standard fiberglass insulation which I feel also added significant value to the house and has already paid off in terms of energy efficiency. Tony has his own crew of six or so guys who were here day in and day out (sometimes on weekends) through the heat of the summer to complete our project on time, and our neighbors mentioned several times how hard they saw the crew working every day as we were not living in the home while this project was happening.

Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value…read moreOur most recent project, a complete home renovation was the 3rd project my husband and I did with John Petsco at LICC. In the past, LICC renovated our kitchen and built us a deck so when we bought our new house, there was no question what company we were going to use. This was a major project. They gutted the house, built an extension and remodeled both the downstairs and upstairs of our home. They installed a new hvac system, all new floors, light fixtures, windows and cabinets, They took down walls, built a new banister for the staircase, refaced my fireplace and built a new front door.. John helped us design the home of our dreams. He is the most amazing contractor. He handled everything. He dealt with the town for our permits, took care of electric, plumbing, hvac, installation etc. John doesn't cut corners. He was hands on from the beginning until our house was complete. He showed up and made sure everything was completed in the time frame he said it would be completed. We trust him completely. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was on point. John's crew was respectful, skilled and attentive. They answered any questions as they came up.. His office staff helped me pick out fixtures and colors and were always available to discuss my ideas for decorating my house. We are beyond happy in our home. LICC did an amazing job. We would recommend them without any reservations.

We did extensive research before picking John Petsco and LICC to do a gut renovation of our house…read more We couldn't have been more happy with our choice! Throughout, John was communicative and transparent, and his contractors were of the highest quality. And importantly for us, John understood our open concept vision from day one -- it was like he could read our minds. Among other things: * John helped us discover what was possible to do with the house. After tearing down the walls, he worked with an architect to figure out whether it was possible to vault the ceilings and how. * John pushed back on our ideas when they would have been too expensive for our budget, or overall not worth the money. He worked with us to find different, but equally gorgeous, ways to solve the same problem. * John ran a tight ship, and made clear when we had to pick out doors, materials, etc. This helped the project run on schedule (though of course there were inevitable delays with supplies due to Covid). * When some items were damaged in transit, John worked with suppliers to get replacements ASAP. * When we needed additional work done (e.g. to plan the backyard), John recommended other contractors, all of which have been professional and of high quality. * There was never any doubt how much anything would cost or when we'd be charged. When unexpected issues came up, John was clear and transparent about what our options were and worked with us to decide how to proceed. After the initial renovation, we continued to work with John to renovate our back yard and pool, and have recommended him to multiple friends who are doing similar projects.

That was just really touching that he even thought to check in on us when we weren't able to hire him. Fast forward a few months and we are still moving at a crawl and again asked them to make another assessment. They kindly obliged and while we are still in the same situation that it's too complicated and expensive to change contractors in the middle, they couldn't have been nicer about it. They are decent and honest and that seems to be very hard thing to come by in this industry. I hope to have the means and ability to hire them for other projects in the future.

What impressed us most was the way the project was managed. It was clear that they understood the disruption that repairs like this can cause, and they went above and beyond to minimize the inconvenience. Elias took a hands-on approach, thoughtfully coordinating the crew and allocating additional resources to complete the work as efficiently as possible--faster than expected--without sacrificing quality.
