They did a gut renovation to our kitchen during the pandemic. Which was not an easy task. They transformed our dated galley kitchen into an absolutely beautiful, more functional kitchen. I showed them an idea I had for extra draw storage under the cabinets (kick-toe drawers) & they custom made them for us. There was a manufacturer issue with the cabinets & they contacted them immediately. Then came to our home with someone from the manufacturer to point out the issues & make sure they were resolved. And this was after we paid them in full. Fast forward to today & they came to our home to resolve an issue with one of the cabinet pulls within 24 hours of calling them to explain what happened. Which we truly appreciated because most other companies may not have done that. As I said, they are a rare find.

My fiancée and I were initially very excited by Emile Sdrak and his construction team. After…read moresourcing multiple estimates for a $35k kitchen and master bathroom remodel, we thought Emile seemed exceptional from all initial meetings: professional and punctual. Emile is a great salesman. Unfortunately, the actual execution of the promised product leaves much to be desired. Emile said our project was to extend no more than 4-5 weeks. It took 8+. Beginning in early April 2019, there were periods where some times his team would not show up--especially later in April. Following inquiries as to why Emile informed us that his team is comprised of mainly Eastern Orthodox Christians so that Easter became over a weeklong hiatus of our project. We wouldn't have been so annoyed about it if Emile had informed us about this from the get-go. But given that this is an annual calendar holiday, it would have been nice to be informed of such known delays before picking Emile and his team. And if this were the only problem of communication, I wouldn't raise it here. But there were also many days where expected team members wouldn't show, and my fiancée and I were living in construction. We had nowhere else to go. Speaking of, my fiancée is (obviously) female and has a more flexible schedule than I do. I would leave her to communicate things in-person to Emile since he would occasionally pop by when concerns were raised. But he would not take her seriously and try to gaslight her about construction issues. Whether he is a misogynist or not is not my judgment to make. I say this for other partners who intend to leave their female significant other at home to monitor and guide some of the construction processes. One gaslighting example is when Emile's team lead, Sam, accidentally installed our $10k cabinets at the incorrect height. Emile said that they had started to install the cabinets from the opposite side. Screw holes in the drywall told a different story. Speaking of, my $10k cabinets (just wanted to emphasize that) are littered with screw holes which Emile admitted in a text message was a poorly done job. Sloppy tilework was also an issue. And while some furniture items were being moved for painting, our beautiful hardwoods were scuffed and scratched. So much so that Emile agreed to take some money off the final price. Speaking of, despite his images across his site and social media, Emile must not be used to working with individuals of means. When we gave him our second check (after paying our down payment for the project with no issue), he rudely asked if it was going to bounce. This was "because he recently had a check bounce for another project." Emile was here late last month to fix some issues that had arisen since the project "ended." I waited to post this review because I knew that would be the case. My fiancée was home to let him in to fix some of the tile issues that had appeared. During his work, Emile admitted that he had received a lot of complaints during our job with his other jobs because of his poorly qualified team. I've attached pictures of what they did to my expensive cabinets. There are much better options than Emile Sdrak and his Emilco Construction, LLC. I leave 3 stars because I believe Emile could potentially do better. UPDATE 12/17/19: 1 star. Faulty problems with installations. Dishwasher not secure and started falling out of place 3 months after install. Emile acknowledges the problem and said he would be here at noon. At 12:30 I texted him and asked him his location and he said it couldn't be here for another two hours. Unprofessional and poor quality. Take your contractor business elsewhere.

Serge worked with me to find the best counter for my kitchen, and then stained it to match the existing butcher block. He was incredibly fast and efficient when measuring, fabricating and staining, and then installing the new counter. All of this took less than a week! When our contractors thought our undermount sink, with a 1/8 negative reveal, was a drop in, they tried to force it through the hole and scratched our brand new counter. We mentioned this to Serge, and he offered to touch it up for us, even though it wasn't his responsibility. . Phenomenal customer service, great prices for quality work. Definitely recommended.

He built out a full basement for us which included bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, utility room, closets and even a real cedar closet with actual cedar planks including the ceiling. He has replaced every window in the house with Andersen windows and even added French doors, sliding doors and a box window. He changed every door in the house to solid six panel doors and assisted in the family room and office built in by installing them. He build the most incredible custom walk in closet converting a bedroom into a spectacular use of space. He has renovated 3 bathrooms and kept them updated as needed most recently replacing a honed marble threshold in the shower and reinstalling the custom glass doors. The most recent improvement was the replacement of our gas water heaters since the old ones were starting to leak. He not only upgraded what we had, had the new ones delivered and installed all in one day in order to get us back up and running with little inconvenience. He has installed whole house water filtration, added instant hot and a garbage disposal making sure we have all the modern conveniences a home should have. He treats our home as if it is his own.

He was patient in answering my numerous questions and concerns along the way. Gus (the main carpenter) was incredible in installing custom built in shelves in various areas. He is a true artist!!

One of the last design changes to the atrociously ugly kitchen I absorbed when buying an apartment…read moretwo years ago was the countertop. I'd gone to some of the Big Box stores and asked for quotes on quartz materials, then determined I'd prefer to use a smaller business owner keeping in-line with my ethos of supporting the little guy as opposed to huge multi-national corporations. Using Yelp's Request-A-Quote feature I found Benchmark. Adam, who seems to run inbound customer leads, was far and away the fastest to reply and the most communicative of the many businesses I considered for my new countertop job. After a few messages back and forth, I was able to pop by the warehouse in New Jersey for a hands on tour to select the right design and get recommendations on styles I hadn't previously considered. The one I settled on was purchased, measured, cut, and installed in under a week. And the price for the quality of stone I received was far better than some of the household brands you might immediately think about when undertaking a renovation of this caliber. If I needed their services again in the future, I'd absolutely do it in a heartbeat. But if you're in the market yourself, be sure you give them a chance at your business before going forward with your own kitchen remodel.
