We did a gut…read morerenovation of bathroom and kitchen, sanded and stained floors, built out two closets (wall work), did some large demolition, and did electrical work such as adding fixtures. Hiring a contractor is like getting married - you are going to be spending a lot of time with the person, so trust and communication are key. I met three contractors at my apartment to get an idea of price and their approach to the work. One contractor came recommended by someone in the building, but when he told me that he recommended scaling back part of my bathroom renovation to make the project easier, it didn't sit well with me. If the contractor is saying "No" at the beginning, imagine how that is going to sound one month into the project. One contractor seemed great in person, had a lot of ideas, sent me a detailed quote, and then was very hard to reach for weeks, explaining that he was doing a lot of traveling. I believed him, but I am on my phone all the time, and I wanted someone more accessible. Although I was tempted to go with the second person, I was a little weary about the communication issue. A friend who works in real estate told me that is normal with contractors, that you have to bug them to get a response. I believed him until I spoke with Jeff, who is the owner of Prime Renovations. He met me on time, replied to my emails and phone calls quickly, and had a lot of ideas for make my renovation happen. There were a number of pros to choosing Prime Renovations: - Communication: This is huge, Jeff is available by email and phone all the time. This is so important when you are dealing with all the stress of a renovation. - Quality: Very high. I am a little shocked when I look around my apartment. It looks so nice that my wife and I can't believe that we live here. This also meant that many little things were done that make the project look high end. - Subcontractors (flooring, painting, electrical, plumbing): These guys were excellent. When we had an issue or wanted to change things, such as the location of our chandelier, moving a ceiling fan, dealing with a problem dishwasher, etc., Jeff was quick to deal with it. - Integrity. I don't use this word lightly. I am a psychiatrist and spend all day trying to help people understand their motivations. I believe that Jeff is an honestly good person who would not cheat a client. Although renovation is inevitably stressful, I trusted him with my home. As a result, we love living in our renovated apartment. I am thankful I chose to work with Jeff and Prime Renovations. ONE YEAR UPDATE: The quality still looks great. We had an issue with the W/D and Jeff came out himself to look at it and then sent the plumber, who came for free. Outstanding guarantee. Also, my father is an engineer and home builder outside of the city and he specializes in spotting mistakes and errors in construction. He stayed with me for a few days and spontaneously said that the construction was very well done, especially the small details. Huge compliment and it speaks to the quality of my renovation. I love my apartment post renovation.

Our project manager, Besi, took the time to thoroughly inspect the area after work began and discovered the issue was more extensive than we had originally realized. Besi was honest, fair, and professional throughout the entire process. He clearly explained what needed to be done, answered all our questions, and ensured the job was completed correctly. There was never any pressure--just straightforward advice and quality workmanship. The crew worked efficiently and completed the project quickly, and the results exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was their attention to detail. The cleanup at the end of both workdays was exceptional, leaving our property spotless each evening. It's refreshing to work with a company that values honesty, communication, and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Garden State Roofing & Chimney, and especially Besi, for anyone looking for quality work and outstanding service.

I contracted them to repave a driveway, backyard and side walk of a rental property I own. If they didn't already have my substantial deposit, I would have backed out after they delayed my start date three weeks past due. Granted some of the delay was due to poor weather, but my property agent couldn't even get a call back after repeated attempts to speak with the owner. When she did, he literally yelled for inquiring when the contractors would start work. Additionally they were sloppy in their handwork covering a DEP water main opening with cement which would prevent any city workers from accessing it if necessary in the future. When they claimed the job was completed, they left the yard a mess with multiple pieces of plywood and tarp balled up in the yard. What professional company leaves their debris in the clients yard especially when the contract expressly says they will clean up all materials and trash at the work site upon completion. Do not go with this company unless you are looking to have your project take 2-3x as long as you initially expect and a sloppy job on top of that.

Based on that lack of courtesy and professionalism, I cannot, in all honesty any longer recommend Taylor Rae to anyone that requires the kind of work that they perform.

The work included structural work to repair / replace old decaying beams and to add new support beams. The work included the relocation of 2 full new kitchens; all new internal plumbing; an upgraded electrical system; and the installation of split air conditioning systems throughout all 5 floors. The millwork / finishing / painting done by his team were meticulous, and we ended up 2 beautiful new apartments - a triplex with 2 bedrooms 2 baths, and a duplex with 2 bedrooms / 2 baths. Shafayet was always responsive to our inquiries / requests and provided solutions to the many problems that were encountered in a project of this size. He also coordinated well with the architect and third party vendors that were involved in this project too. His bid for the job was very reasonable compared to the bids of 4 other general contractors. Great value overall!

Their hands-on owner, Shafayet, was responsive and fully transparent, and even asked for a meeting when he sensed a disconnect regarding our expectations and the treatment we chose. For credibility we might say that his people are skilled, but that it's important to take care to monitor scaffolding people, whom Multi doesn't directly supervise. In our view he turned out to be exactly what we were hoping to find -- instead of IBM, a local, smallish outfit that led with scrappiness and responsiveness. Highly recommended
