Once again, these doors will say "Welcome!" and not "Beware!" to the neighborhood. See the "Before" and "After" pictures below of the two middle doors at the Greenview Avenue entrance. With this visual comparison, the improvement is nothing less than remarkable. A special thank you needs to be addressed to Jesús and the whole crew at The Stripp Joynt. Their focused care and attention to detail made this project a great success.

I'm not a big yelp reviewer, but these guys are worth recommending. Austin's creativity and expertise were instrumental in making our quirky vintage apartment kitchen into a true gourmet kitchen experience. Austin cares about all of the little details and it shows in the finished product. We enjoyed bouncing around ideas and really valued the Austin's expertise in kitchen design. Working with Austin, we asked if he had any recommendations for contractors. He gave us a competitive bid and we couldn't be happier we chose to team up with Austin, Josh and Pawel on this piece of the project. Austin's crew was very professional and a pleasure to work with. Josh & Pawel are true craftsmen and cabinet makers. They are very passionate about their trade and will help you get it perfect. We are very pleased with the result.

PJ is extremely knowledgeable, and he was able to put me at ease with the work that was ultimately necessary to take care of my building and restore it to its previous condition. He educated me and helped me make the right decisions that I ultimately felt confident about. He is a very well-spoken and trustworthy contractor. I highly recommend working with him, especially because in situations when you need to deal with masonry repairs--lintels, sealing, flashing, glass blocks, cracks etc.-- I'm sure you're already a little freaked out by the prospect of having to figure out what is necessary for your project. PJ is your man! PS- He even accommodated my expedited emergency timing for repairs since my home was being sold and about to go through inspection. Thank you!

I appreciated the organization and especially his diligence in quality, while also returning to the house months later for some quick fixes - no questions asked. My full kitchen and bath remodel along with wooden floor installation is beautiful. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that I wish there were someone specifically coming to my house to show me design options in person. Doing this online with someone was nice, but it was difficult for me to know and visualize my options. Secondly, the price increments and installments were changing from the initial contract and subsequent updates were made that didn't quite match the initial one. Although I paid the same as the agreed upon amount, paying upfront before work completion had me very nervous, and once it was done, it wasn't exactly what I had asked for. That being said, it DID in fact work out, and all work was completed beautifully on time. There were just a lot of people involved, which made communication confusing at times. Dom and Gene are good for their word, nonetheless, and the work they do is fantastic.

Hiring DemoWorkers for our condo renovation is one of the worst decisions we've made…read more Dom's whole pitch was coordination -- that they'd run every trade, stay on top of the details, and keep the job from stalling. The reality has been the opposite. We would have been far better off hiring the subcontractors directly. They sub out all the work and mark it up, and you never see what the trades actually charged. Dom has tried to overcharge us on more than one occasion. Their allowances also have no relationship to what materials really cost, so going over budget isn't a choice you make -- it's built in. Our bathrooms were allowanced at $6,460 and billed at $12,664, more than $6,200 over on one portion of the project. to turn out the way it did. The completed work is a disaster. Our master bathroom sits roughly a foot off the ground and has to be demolished and rebuilt. Doors don't shut. They hung drywall without taping off the vents, so the vents are packed with dust and now need to be replaced -- damage that cost us money and existed only because nobody took five minutes to cover them. We still have no plan from them for fixing any of it. Their planning is just as bad. We submitted our range selection in March and heard nothing until September, when they told us it wouldn't work electrically and we'd need to choose a different one keep in mind it's a 5000 range -- well past the return window on an appliance we'd already paid for. Meanwhile our current electrician has spent his time correcting the previous electrician's work. Avoid at all costs. Dom doesn't deserve to be in business.
