Highly recommend!! We recently had a plumbing leak that turned into a plumbing nightmare. Walls had to be opened up in the bathroom and the kitchen below. Tiles removed, cabinets removed, walls cut out, plumbing lines replaced...it was a Disaster. 2 things went our way (1) the insurance company covered all costs (2) Darrell and his team handled the entire job, start to finish. We didn't have to call a bunch of different contractors in, they handled it all, even helped us work with the insurance company and came in on budget (which is unheard of) Darrell and his very competent and meticulous staff, especially Zsolt, not only solved the mystery of the leak but fixed it in a timely manner and made all necessary wall, tile, etc repairs. You would never know any work was done. Darrell made numerous inspections of the work to insure all was in order and we were satisfied with the work ... which we definitely were. Our house and our lives are back in order (actually better than before). We are posting this review to let others know there is a contractor that actually knows what he is doing, who you can actually trust to do what he says, who actually cares about his customers. It wasn't just the work got done and the results were better than expected, its that he actually cared about us and how we felt about the job. So thank you, especially to Darrell Babboni, Zsolt Stumpf and the rest of the team at Honey Do Men/Westchester Elite Contracting. L&T D, Yorktown Heights read more

James did a variety of work on our house. He was efficient, extremely hard working, very detail oriented, and courteous. He is a valuable asset to Honey Do Men and I would gladly use them again because of James' dedication to do such a great job on our home. read more

Only giving one star bc the actual workers doing the construction did a good job on the project. But the management behind the scenes was a nightmare to deal with. Once they got paid, There was no urgency, no communication, they made promises they didn't keep. Tried to charge me thousands extra for something I never agreed to. I would never recommend this company to anyone and would never use them again. Terrible experience! read more

There is good news and bad news about Honey Do Men. The good news is that the work done on my sunroom renovation was excellent. The workers work hard, are respectful and polite, and do great work. Now the bad news: scheduling and communication is poor. I often had no idea which subcontractor was coming and when. I had to chase the front office down to get any info. I finally asked for a schedule and never got it. Once I took the day off for them, but they never showed. Of course, they are very prompt about getting you the final invoice asap....and the harassment began the next day to pay it; they even offered to come to my house to pick up the check!! read more

The two of us have been loyal, steady customers of Darrell Babboni's HONEY DO MEN Home Remodeling & Repair since the 1990s. Why? Because HONEY DO MEN has earned our business with outstanding results over and over again. Recently, Darrell's premier contractor, Zsolt, performed a miracle in prepping/repairing walls and executing an extensive paint job at our place. The results are spectacular--so fresh, clean, and new looking! Expertly performed, as always, and priming us for the next job to assign to HONEY DO MEN. This is an operation that sells perfection! Thank you, Darrell, Zsolt, and HONEY DO MEN! --Bridget and Jim M, Carmel, NY read more

Not the best job done. We have an issue with the fit of an attic access panel and got an argument about the way the work was specified and strong resistance to fixing it properly. The panel has a gap along an edge and scrapes a side on opening it. Both not acceptable. They were not easy to deal with on the quality of the work. Although they were to supply the materials they did not bring any with them. I offered a piece of plywood that they claimed was part of the problem and claimed I insisted they use it, I did not. I offered it as I had it on hand. We will not be using them again. read more

I made the mistake of hiring this horribly run company. Please do not make the same mistake I did as this company overcharges for basic repairs. Please hire a local qualified contractor that uses legal workers to perform repairs. They installed a deck last year in the winter with bare wood .Its completely warped, cracked and horribly unlevel soaked with water to the point where it looks like a fun house floor. I am utterly disgusted and will never use them again and I would suggest no one else does either. Their nstall manager Dan was a nightmare who has no perception of construction or managing the group of workers which shows how this company hires people that are totally unqualified! read more

The estimate was EXACT. My wife chose a different contractor and their finished price was EXACTLY what Honey-Do estimated during a visit in which I had full confidence. Go figure... read more

I called them to come and give an estimate on 3 jobs around my house in northern Westchester in mid June 2023. The guy they sent out was very arrogant but none the less I thought maybe this was just his attitude. He assured me I would hear from them in about a week for 2 out of the 3 projects and within 2weeks on the 3rd. We'll, it is now late August (60days since the guy was here) and aside from them adding me to their spam email list (2-3 unsolicited emails/wk) -- they have never responded or given me a single estimate or telling me they are declining our work! I called them on the one month anniversary of their 6'5" upper-middle-aged estimator stopping here and acting arrogant and as if stopping here for our 3 jobs (worth a combined total of well over $15k) was an inconvenience. The woman on the phone promised me we would hear back next day or at latest by the end of the week....well, here we are a month later - and guess what -- NO ESTIMATE OR RESPONSE. They have called me twice but didn't leave a VM either time! They spend a lot on advertising and painting their trucks all fancy but don't actuality do anything! I have had numerous other contractors look at the same jobs, one of which has already been completed and for $6,925 - the other 2 jobs I am still seeking to have the work done -- but with the lack of communication or response and the arrogant attitude of their estimator I certainly won't contract HONEY-DONT-RESPOND! read more

Things have changed Be careful Most recent work was poor to unacceptable and overpriced based on the original scope of work versus what was done. They offered to redo some of the work but I would have had to do more work then they did Buyer beware read more

The worst experience I've ever experienced in 34 years of using contractors in both my home in Westchester and my home in Pennsylvania. Promised to get the job started within 2 weeks and it was cancellation after cancellation. Many of the cancelled jobs were due to "bad weather" on days that had no rain whatsoever in the forecast and rescheduled for days that were forecasted for 100 percent rain. The contractor Vince was misogynistic when speaking with me, talking down to me because I was a woman and rude. The job was priced out for a four days of labor with 2 men, then changed to only one day and a half with no adjustment on the hourly rate. When I called to cancel and find a new contractor, Vince told me I was "overreacting, unreasonable" and "good luck finding a contractor that will do the job." I found one that day and my job is completed and beautiful. However, my deposit which was sent as a direct money transfer through Zelle, has still not been returned. The job was cancelled on 5/8 and I was promised a refund by Vince for the next day. It is now 5/20 and my contractor is waiting for the last payment which I don't have due to The Honey Do Men holding my deposit, claiming it must go through several different departments and has to be sent via a paper check. My deposit was a direct money transfer. Why am I waiting 12 days and still not refunded? DO NOT USE THE HONEY DO MEN in Westchester County, NY! You will get the run-around, especially if you are a woman. read more

Come out to give an estimate to replace outside door jam. Took 2 weeks to schedule an appointment . When they came out to do the work said the price was not correct and it was now 3x more. Then took 3 weeks to get a refund of the down payment. read more

Where to start with my HoneyDo Men review? PART 1 I will make this as brief as I can just hitting the "high lights". My job consisted of putting a new roof on my house and tearing up my concrete garage floor and pouring a new one. The job was scheduled for two days although I expected it may take more than that. Well, the job took almost 3 months. The roof was done without much mishap. I had to have them come back and replace some siding they had taken off leaving a section of my houses wall, that we could not see, exposed. That did leak the first rain we had. Other than that, the roofing was fine. As for my garage floor, they were supposed to tear up the old concrete, level and remove dirt as needed to put down three inches of gravel and four inches of concrete. I will bullet point the fun from there. * They removed the old concrete, tamped down the dirt level then added wire reenforcement on top of the dirt. * I then asked about the three inches of gravel because there was no gravel on site. * I was told it was coming and it did arrive the next day where they proceeded to put it down on top of the wire screen and without digging any dirt out. * They then put the concrete down. * Mind you, this is three inches worth of gravel and 4 inches of concrete going into a 4 inch depth hole. * In doing this they took my cracked broken but FLAT floor and gave me a floor which was more than 7 inches high in the back down to 4 inches in the front. * On top of the very steep slope, the concrete was rippled, cratered and broom brushed with a big push broom leaving the ridges in the concrete .25 inches high. * That didn't fly, so they said they would add concrete to level the floor. * They added concrete but it was not close to level. It had waves and divots and was far from being level. I'm talking inches of difference. * They ground the floor down and added another layer. This one was pretty good. * The job was done! I thought I was home free even though my garage floor was now about 8 to 9 inches higher than it used to be. * Well once they were all gone I found two areas on my lawn covered in concrete where the workers cleaned their equipment. I had to pry that up so my lawn could be lawn. * They left my driveway covered in concrete dust and wet run-off which has stained the surface. * After this I got a dumpster to remove junk I had in my garage that had been sitting outside during the entire job. While loading it the dumpster I found three contractor bags filled with about 50 to 75 pounds each of dry, unused concrete. * Mind you I had to pay by the pound for this removal. They added at least 200 pounds to my total. * Once all the junk and trash was removed I found and 3 foot square area of hardened concrete on my driveway and the retaining wall that I still have to bust up. * Finally all is done!... except for the fact that the first time it rained, water ran into my garage because the new floor sloped into the garage from the doors. I had to buy a grinding disk For over $50 to grind those areas down sloping them outside rather than inside. Thats about it. I told HoneyDo Men about all of this and they did try to address everything except for the bags of dry concrete and the pile of hardened concrete under those bags. I told them about those issues but heard nothing back about them. I did not tell even mention to them about having to grind concrete outside the doors. Over all, they did a fine job with the roof (after the whole leaving my side wall exposed) but they should never have agreed to do the garage floor. The people they hired the first two tries had no idea what they were doing. Nightmare three months. It took three months because they rarely had anyone here more than one day out of three. Thats the "highlights". The short version. Oh, one more thing that was in the contract: they were supposed to remove and replace any rotter areas of sill plate. There was at least 15 to 20 feet of sill plate to be replaced. They did one maybe two foot section and just didn't do the rest even though it was brought up a number of times. Thanks read more

Honey Do Man did excellent job repairing water damage to wood behind my siding on house, I highly recommend them.

Can't say enough good things about Honey Do Men. I had a number of projects around my home to get completed and they went above and beyond to get it done right. I had asked them to repair my bay windows that were not opening and they discovered my window wasn't attached to my home properly. Instead of just fixing those windows, they devised a way to properly support my bay window before moving forward with the requested repairs. Outstanding service! read more

I have had a great experience using Honey do Men. They are very prompt at getting someone here to quote and do work. Hendron was the person sent and he did a fantastic job installing a new wall air conditioner while patching and painting as well. He even removed a bees nest that was in the way. I highly recommend this company. Everyone is have dealt with during this process was extremely professional. read more

Second time I requested a service from this company. Had a water leak destroyed hard wood floors and had to gut surrounding and below rooms Ladies in office great! Guys coming out to look at and give estimates not so great. Said would get estimate and paperwork within a day or two....three weeks later still waiting. Called office. Said he would contact me, again nothing. This is second time I've tried to work with them. Honey, these men don't work, don't care, dont get back to you. So don't bother to call them. I won't again read more

One bathroom needed a variety of work: recessed mirror remove & replace, plumbing fixture repair, and light installation. The person who came did everything perfectly, promptly, and professionally. We were extremely impressed and pleased with the process and the outcome. I could not recommend this service more highly! In fact we are looking forward to having further work done by them next month. - Cynthia T., Hartsdale read more

Mr Darrell B . This review was in regards to a quote that was given to me approximately 2 yrs ago and I have the email to prove the outrageous price for work I did not request . I even received a contract and a follow up call . I live in Carmel and at the time of the review I just purchased my home. This would explain the Brooklyn address . read more

The complaint is that you didn't do the job, didn't work to remedy the problem and left me to hire a new contractor. I would give zero stars if possible. read more

Honey Do Men Home Remodeling & Repair - $500 CHARGED to repair damaged roof tiles. 1 tile fixed the rest not!!!! - General Contractors Near Me - Carmel Hamlet, New York

Darrell and his team are extremely professional from quotes to execution of the job. His teams are timely and keep everything clean and clear from start to finish. The roof was starting to collect mold and needed to be cleaned. The fireplace stacks and caps needed to be painted and caulked. Finally, the driveway needed to be sealed. They arrived on time and got the work done on the days scheduled without being a distraction to me in my home office. With the grey blacktop sealer I had them apply, I can already notice the 20% reduction in surface heat from the driveway. Honey Do Men are not the cheapest nor most expensive; however, they get the job done right the first time and they stand behind their work. Thanks!!! read more

Honey Do Men did an fantastic job hanging my indoor and outdoor lightening fixtures, repairing and painting my bathroom window and regrouting my kitchen sink and tile area. They were professional, on time, easy to work with and very clean. I will definitely be working with them again. read more

We had a great experience with this company. After some big storms this fall, our garage roof was damaged and leaking, as well as the vent in our upstairs bathroom. They were able to come out quickly to give an estimate and had very competitive pricing. There was a slight delay due to waiting for materials, but in 2021 with supply chain issues, it was actually done pretty quickly. The work itself was done in 2 days and after a huge storm this weekend, there is no more leaking so we know the work was done very well. They also fixed our stair railing that was very wobbly and now is solid and safe. read more

Finally decided to update my tired looking apartment bathroom. Called around to get a few quotes. Some didn't even call back. One of the first to get back to me was Honey Do Men. I met with John to discuss my needs. He was friendly and so helpful explaining they would file all permits and get all the paperwork for my COOP board for me. John also suggested a couple of options I had not thought of. Some wonderful laminate tile instead of what I was thinking of. The project was overseen by Vincent who made sure there was the minimum of disruption and kept the reinnervation moving smoothly. I couldn't be happier how it turned out. read more

They did our attic ladder, bathroom tiles and stair railing. The work was better than I'd hope for! Highly recommend 5 stars!!!

Beware of these folks. Very polite and helpful on the phone when selling a project, BUT just the reverse on delivery and follow up. They provided a quote for gutter cleaning, including downspout testing and clearing. I paid half up front, and they said "scheduling" would call me to set up an appointment. Instead 2 guys showed up without warning when no one was home -- but they were captured on video from our security cameras. They never tested the downspouts (one was actually clogged and still is), and they zipped in and out, apparently without ever even putting the ladder up in the front of the house. They did clearly clean the gutters in back, and left a big muddy stain on the siding. When I called to ask them to complete the work they left one voicemail saying they'd look into it, but then failed to return additional calls and simply charged my credit card for the second payment (now in dispute). I recommend avoiding these people. read more

Amazing communication and clarity and reliability. They seemed more expensive at first until we considered that they'll be around if something goes wrong and they Ken Costa) actually care about the customer and the work and they're worth a little more than two guys who seem responsive but aren't part of a larger, stable business. read more

Darryl and the folks at Honey Do Men could not have been more professional, courteous, diligent, responsive, tidy and a great value. They replaced window panes, hung doors, replaced caulking, hung new blinds, repaired damaged molding and put up a new curtain rod. They even hung up the curtains without us asking. We recommend them without hesitation. read more

These guys are an absolute joke. Save your time and just reach out to individual contractors. Darrell was at our house 2-months ago for a fairly thorough walk-through; Took about 2-hrs. Right away he started to quote $700 for a new Home Depot window (costs under $200 FYI) and said it would cost $7-$10K to knock down a small kitchen wall (getting it done for under $3K)..... from there I knew we would not be using Honey-Do but at least I wanted to entertain his estimate. 2-months later and numerous emails to his office and I have still yet to receive a quote, a follow-up, and apology, nothing. Seriously this guy ghosted me. I guess business is that good. Save your time and your $; reach out to local contractors who will do better work, give you a better quote, and all in a timely manner. Darrell and Honey Do are a joke. read more

My mother's house needed a new ridge vent and the removal and replacement of insulation. It took over a week to get the estimate (after 2 calls) that was promised to be be delivered the next day. Lori quoted $5,147.81 for the job. That seemed excessive so we did some research. My brother purchased the parts needed (ridge vent, shingles, insulation, etc.) for less than $300. We did the job ourselves in under 4hrs. A week later Scott texted to follow up on the estimate to see if we were still interested in using them. I replied how disappointed I was with the estimate and how they were trying to rip us off. Not surprisingly I received no response. read more

I have been a customer of this company for many years. From gutter cleanings and maintenance, vinyl siding, masonry, and many other handymen projects, I have always received excellent service and results. The competitive prices and prompt estimates and services provided by Honey-Do-Men are invaluable to me, as a homeowner and consumer. read more

We had our siding fixed, some exterior painting and gutter cleaned. Our consultant Vince D was very pleasant and friendly. He came out to our home, viewed the job and gave us an estimate. I wanted a particular color for my exterior, but when Erwin and the others came to do the job, he spoke directly to me to clearly understand what I wanted. He listened and then gave me his expertise suggestions. Due to his suggestions, I was then able to make a better decision. I love the exterior painting work that was done and the fact that he found an issue, brought it to our attention and we decided to fix it made my first experience with Honey-Do-Men a great one. On another note, the pricing for the exterior painting was steep. read more

honey do men repaired the Mason work around our window that was causing a leak. They were responsive, helpful, and reasonably priced.

We were having a lot of trouble with building a retaining wall and Honey do men did everything they could to help us but unfortunately we did not have the money for it. Instead they were able to do additional work and a drive way to make everything in the front of the house look great! read more

After searching for someone to work on the home we just bought in Mahopac, we found Chris and Daniel. They not only accommodated our busy schedules regarding our appointments but advised us to do some of the work ourselves and SAVE money! I saw the other reviews, however, our neighbors had a great experience and their personal testimony meant a lot to us. The prices we quoted were fair and I am happy. Looking forward to working with them in the future - painting our interior, cleaning the exterior of our home, removing trees, etc. read more

This is my third job with Honey Do Men. As always, Darrell and his crew did an amazing job. In the past they have put on new shingles on my entire roof as well as put on a new gutter system. This was a smaller job on an addition on my home, but as the jobs before it, looks flawless with clear quality. Crew was extremely professional and courteous. I highly recommend. read more

Warning. I used this company to clean my gutters. They did a below average job. I never agreed to nor signed any annual service contract. I would call and ask for service if I wanted it. In October 2017 I asked for a gutter cleaning in the month of October when the leaves fall. They never performed the service in October or anytime in 2017. Then I received an invoice many months latter in 2018 for a gutter cleaning that they claim they performed in 2018 when I wasn't home and I had not requested. I have sent the invoice back and informed them that I never requested or agreed to this cleaning and it was done unauthorized. They continue to send me harassing correspondence with an invoice. They are not to be trusted. Use a different service for gutter cleaning. read more

AMATEURS: We had them install counters in our basemen. They didn't finish the bottom of the cabinets with moldings.

They refused to finish the job. Instead they passed in the debt to collection agency. read more
