In life, our father always sought to provide for us and take care of everything. Before he passed…read moreaway, he even made preparations with the church, the funeral home, and the cemetery. Now it was up to us to take on the responsibility of making arrangements for his headstone. Clayton's Funeral Home recommended Stone Unlimited, and we are so glad they did. Stone Unlimited is located near the cemetery, so one day while visiting the grave-site we popped in to ask some questions. We weren't sure what we needed to do or what to expect. We met Marcy, who was wonderful and sat with us even without an appointment to walk us through everything. We had a lot of anxiety from the realization that we now had to figure out how we could ever create something that properly memorialized the patriarch of our family. She knew it was an emotional time for us and was very patient, explaining how the process worked, what the cemetery rules were for headstones, and the cemetery's design approval process. She took her time and explained all of our options without overwhelming us. Over the next hour and a half we talked about things like color, etchings, images, and the ways in which each of those choices could affect the chances of our design being approved. Over the following weeks we bombarded her with questions and revisions, both in person and over the phone, and she never made us feel like we were bothering or inconveniencing her. She was fantastic and was able to create a design that incorporates all of the things that were important to our father: his faith, his Irish heritage, and his career in the NYPD. A design that his wife of 56 years and his 6 very opinionated kids could all agree was beautiful. Marcy estimated it would take about 12 to 16 weeks for design to be approved and the stone created and put in place. Even with an early rejection from the cemetery and some redesign sessions prior to resubmitting, they still were able to set the stone in place just 12 weeks after our original conversation. The care and attention to every detail from Stone Unlimited during this difficult time was amazing. When the completed stone brought tears to our eyes, we knew that we had put our faith in the right people. We cannot recommend them enough.

We are very happy with the work Stone Unlimited did inscribing my mother's headstone. The…read moreinscription was done onsite at the cemetery, as my parents have one headstone for both graves and my father pre deceased my mother. Marissa was very responsive to our inquiry and needs, and she helped guide the process in a very professional and timely manner. I have no reservations in recommending them.

I can't say enough good things about JJG masonry. Jeovanny is great at what he does. I originally…read morewanted cement steps on the side of my house, but when Jeovanny showed me what he can do with pavers, especially at a reasonable price, we went with that idea instead. And I'm glad we did. Jeovanny met with me a couple of times to get the idea just right, and then he went to work. The staircase turned out amazing and Jeovanny was very thorough with his work. I would highly recommend him and his team.

We've been wanting a patio in the back for a long time as I'm tired of tracking mud into the house…read moreand I have to say Al's crew did a great job. They pitched the patio ever so gradually away from the door so the water does not pool by the house. It looks beautiful... mulitishaded beige pavers with a cocoa colored border. The three Mexican fellas did a meticulous and artistic job, laying an intricate pattern with the pavers and rounding the corners for a gentler look. We are soooo happy with this job! I made a nice lunch for the guys every day and they appreciated it. (I don't know why this says San Francisco as we are in Plainview, L.I.)

I could say that a had a great experience working with Rennovate Right for my bathroom renovation…read more I got my bathtub converted into a beautiful walk-in shower, and the entire work was done exceptionally well.The workmanship, attention to detail, and overall finish were excellent. The process was completed with great care. Really appreciated the effort put into every small detail. Out of the 5 companies I called for this job, Jeff was the most reasonable in his pricing. He is good guy and highly recommend Rennovate Right for anyone looking for quality renovation work.

We needed to renovate our bathroom due to multiple leaks and other various issues that the previous…read moreowner never took care of. Jeff quoted us $8,800+ for the job not including the price of tiles. He offered to throw in the tiles at no additional cost if we were willing to make a decision on the spot. There were minor communication issues with Jeff throughout getting job done, but all is well that ends well. The guys working (Nacho/Oscar/Danny/etc) were all very professional and respectful which goes a long way. It took about 7 days start to finish to get the job done. We are satisfied with the work and Jeff said the labor is warranted for as long as we live in the home. We were also taken back when we found out that they were actually going to consider the job finished without painting the bathroom. I was told they don't usually include painting the bathroom and would've left the new drywall completely exposed and we would have to pay someone else to paint. I found that to be absolutely ludicrous and when I expressed that to Jeff, he "did us the favor" of having them paint the bathroom and I had to buy the paint. We also had to buy the shower door and luckily it was delivered on the last day of the project but Jeff did say they would come back to do the installation if the door was delivered at a later date. We also decided to use this company to install a new fence for $12,500. It took about 4 days to complete but they took apart our old fence several days prior to being able to start the project without communicating first which was very frustrating. The two guys who worked on the fence were fantastic, they worked really hard and took no shortcuts that I could see to ensure the new fence would be really sturdy against the crazy winds we get in my area. We had to get someone else to cut down some trees and make room for them to install the new fence. They were going to move the fence further into our property line without communicating such also blew my mind. Jeff was kind enough to have his guys haul away some old glass doors we had from a previous project when they were taking the trash away from this project. All in all we are satisfied with the work done for the bathroom and the new fence installation. I would recommend this company to others, but must keep a close eye on what's getting done to ensure there isn't any miscommunication or misunderstandings.
