He has years of experience and knows just about everything there is to know about a home. Not only that, he's a very nice and communicative person, and takes the time to explain anything you might have questions about, which is helpful for a first-time renovator like myself. He has done a great job with every different task involved in the renovation. Painting, plastering, installing sheetrock, framing walls, etc. and he has great crews for everything else. I'm very pleased with the work. I will certainly be working with Don again if I need more work down the line, and am recommending him to others in my co-op for expert work at a reasonable price.

My wife and I recently had a rug installed in our living room from Richard Afkari. We had been…read morelooking for a new rug for over two years and couldn't decide on the best approach. Richard provided aesthetic guidance for what would work in our space after reviewing pictures of our apartment and discussing our tastes. Richard's knowledge of rugs from around the world and his personal relationships with weavers in different countries is extraordinary. Ours was a handmade rug from Nepal, which was designed by Richard specifically for our living room. This timeless rug pulls the entire room together, and we are thrilled with the results. Richard's communication, sensitivity to needs, design, and updates throughout the project kept us in the loop and kept our expectations clear. He delivered in every way imaginable!

A few years ago I brought Nazmiyal an antique Persian rug that had experienced some difficulties;…read morein just a few weeks they'd cleaned it up, made some repairs, and returned it to me - all at a reasonable price. So when I realized that a few more recent rugs (bought in Turkey about 20 years ago) needed cleaning and some light repairs, of course I brought them to Nazmiyal. As was the case earlier, both rugs were cleaned up and repaired beautifully. The people here are friendly, respectful, and highly competent - and they know more about rugs than anyone else I've met anywhere. My apartment is not large and I don't have room for any more rugs - but when the rug I bought in India a few years ago needs cleaning (sometime in the 2040s is what I'm guessing), I'll bring it here. And if I ever move to a larger place, I'll be coming to Nazmiyal to maybe pick up a few more rugs. They've got a huge collection.

I did a gut renovation of my apartment several years ago and used NY Loft for the kitchen. Ana…read moredesigned it, and Iko made it and installed it. It's been well over five years now, and it still looks good. The good: Everything is solid, and high quality. The manufacturing is as local as local can get - as it is made just a few miles away, but you'd swear it was made in Italy, given the craftsmanship. The local manufacturing was a huge plus for me, as I wanted to keep my carbon footprint small. The installation went as well as could be expected - every major kitchen install is complicated and filled with issues. The could-be-better: There was a lot of conflict between my architect, my contractor, and NY Loft. I doubt you would have any such issues if you just use NY Loft as your designer, contractor, and installer. But if you need them to work with others, and have others work with them, stand back, because there will be major fireworks. In spite of that, everything got done. The bottom line is that they were trustworthy, and they got the job done, and it all looks good and functions well. They are headstrong and have tempers, and they may not always play nice with others, but when all is said and done, they are professional. The project might take a while, and there will be bumps along the way. Kitchens are complicated, and any kind of renovation in NYC is especially complicated. However, I would recommend NY Loft to anyone who is willing to go the distance in a renovation - they'll go the distance for you.
