Customer service? What's that? Never heard of it…read more Little Wolf is proving to be a wolf in sheep's​ clothing. We had cabinets that cover our HVAC units made by Little Wolf several years ago and have been very happy with them. Yesterday, the largest piece of wood came off the cabinet in my young children's room. If it fell on one of my kids, it would have caused significant injury. We emailed Little Wolf asking for them to come and fix the cabinet (we didn't ask for a freebie). To quote their email to us "just pick up magnets and let your handyman​ fix it." After spending several thousand dollars on cabinets, I expected​ better than this. Thanks,​ Little Wolf, thanks for nothing!

He explained everything so well and helped us through the entire process. As a former builder, he was also able to provide us lots of advice on things outside our scope of work and was always accessible for questions that came up morning, nights, and weekends. His cabinets and countertops are extremely high quality, and he has a great design eye if you need help selecting the appropriate style.

Conclusion I would do another kitchen with Robert he is great to work with and I believe in supporting local businesses so go see him and fear not he is the man

So much attention to detail. On top of that, they are clean! We were living in our house through the entire process and the crew would always spend the last part of their work day cleaning up after themselves. The renovation became even more challenging as we approached the start of the coronavirus pandemic. My husband and I began working from home and our toddler's school closed so we had a very full house. We also welcomed a new baby in the middle of the project. In a time that was total chaos, Birchtree stayed on task with a commitment to complete our kitchen as quickly and safely as possible. After the base cabinetry was installed, they had a temporary countertop and sink/faucet installed so that we had full use of the kitchen during the renovation. We will definitely reach out to Birchtree when we are ready for our next project and will recommend them to anyone who is looking for a contractor.

I envisioned a space I could cultivate a herb and vegetable garden each year that would complement my modest backyard. This talented woodworker exceeded all my expectations.

The sturdy door facing my gardening shed made for easy access to my all my tools and protected my precious veggies from any critters. From the sturdy construction to the precise preparation of the beds and expertly planted starter vegetable plants, every aspect of Travis' work reflects a true passion for quality and sustainability.

Marty and his team rescued our stairs!!…read more When we purchased our townhouse earlier this year, we had no idea what lurked below the carpet on the 125 year old steps (the treads were decaying and actually coming out of the wall) We did a ton of research before hiring Marty and his team, and it was clear they were the ones for the job on a historic property. Even before the project began, Marty provided an incredible amount of time and expertise that helped us get the project going, guiding us through everything from wood selection and preservation of historic value to safety protocols and the production timeline. While it took less than three weeks to replace the two main flights in the house, the end product demonstrated care and master craftsmanship, as ever single tread had to be created by hand by Marty's carpenters to follow the century-old curvature of our stairs (nothing factory produced). We came home to an almost spotless house (I couldn't find dust anywhere) and two staircases that are the most solid structures now within our home. We couldn't be more thrilled with the results and can't wait to complete the painting and sealing. Thank you Marty and crew!

From start to finish, everything was great. Communication and time lines were above expectations…read more The work itself is incredible. Marty and his crew recently replaced 2 flights from my 100+ year old house (they even found news papers in the steps from 1918!). I had 3 contractors prior take a look at these stairs but didn't feel confident in their approach or solution. Marty and his crew looked at the stairs like it was just another Tuesday. Professional, knowledgeable and reliable. 10/10, I would recommend them across the board. I added some before and afters (before the staining and painting)

Intelligent Kitchen is a GEM and located in my UWS neighborhood too. I came across Intelligent…read moreKitchen (IK) as my family was in need of design and project management help for our apartment renovation. We had met with a number of design build firms but were not finding what we were looking for in personalized attention. When I first met IK, the project was a certain size - one kitchen and one bathroom, possibly two bathrooms. After we met IK, heard their ideas and shared some of our dream items for our family home, we decided to re-design our ENTIRE apartment using IK as our design team for architectural services and selections across 2300 interior square feet. This included redesigning our apartment layout, tripling the size of our kitchen and gutting 3 full bathrooms and enhancing one other bathroom. We could not have done it without Lauren, Olga, Adriana and the entire IK team of designers and project managers. IK is on top of it all. We had weekly design and logistics meetings that included our budget tracking and our selection tracking. They were able to show us what our apartment was going to look like through amazing renderings that were so life-like, it was the first time I was able to truly see what I was putting together. They worked with us on finishing selections, coordination with the contracting team over 6 months with multiple weekly visits, the architect and expeditors, the ancillary services and resources for glass, marble, cabinetry and more. IK was able to deliver us the home of our dreams in NYC. Although it was a complicated and nearly year long project, we felt ready to take it all on because of IK and their team and their contacts. They were there for us every step of the way, kept us on budget and were able to meet with varying providers when we weren't, acting like our own right hand. I would recommend IK to anyone looking to do a bathroom or a kitchen or a complete and total renovation just like ours. Matter of fact, I have already referred several friends and neighbors to them. IK makes you feel like you are the only client they are working with and acted with transparency and charm each and every time. Thank you IK!

But after meeting the team at A to Z Renovations, I finally felt confident I was in good hands. They were on point, punctual, and extremely detail-oriented throughout the entire project. Every step was handled with care and clear communication. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and I felt completely comfortable from start to finish. I honestly feel blessed to have found them. Trust is everything when you're doing a renovation, and A to Z truly delivered on every level. I highly, highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future.

My wife and I were delighted by the beautiful work done by ATOZ Renovations. We're not in the habit…read moreof writing rave reviews. (We're New Yorkers after all.) But the job they did deserves recognition. Among the many people worth a shout-out: designer Chaya Uzan whose enthusiasm and ideas gave us a sense that our project was quite special; and Robbie Goldberg, our day-to-day contact and project manager, who brought a craftsman's eye to all aspects of the job. When problems were encountered, problems were fixed. An example: once we installed a new oven in the kitchen we realized that we would have to do without a favorite built-in spice cabinet. Robbie came up with ingenious fix requiring some custom carpentry so that the spice rack did not disappear but became an integral of the whole. Anthony, our renovation expert, was our first contact with A to Z. He encouraged us not to give up on what we wanted the project to look like even though other renovators had told us it was impossible to do. He also offered to answer any questions we might have along the way. Then there's Shevy, the permit and insurance coordinator. She dealt with the necessary paperwork and kept the inspectors at bay so we did not have to deal with those headaches. And last but not least, Mario, the site manager, who was there every day, hands-on, always professional and pleasant. On that note, the entire team seemed to like one another and treated us and each other with a refreshing degree of decency and consideration. To summarize: The team at ATOZ was thoroughly professional and kept us informed with clear, consistent communication every step of the way. Importantly, the team worked efficiently to stay on schedule and were fair when an unexpected issues arose, providing clear solutions. The final result is exceptional, and the quality of work exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend ATOZ to anyone.

From reading various blogs, people seem to generally be pleased with the quality of their cabinets. We wanted to save money where we could and the cabinets were an area where we didn't have strong preferences. * They're a small operation of a husband/wife team, both of whom are RPI graduates with engineering degrees. As someone who went to a engineering-focused university myself, this was something that appealed to me. They're able to do minor electrical, plumbing, and drywall work in addition to the cabinet installation which is nice so you don't have to hire additional folks. One thing we really appreciated was that Peter and Lissa's estimated schedule for their work was spot on. In the end, we were super pleased with the final result! Peter's attention to detail in his work is second to none -- I wouldn't expect anything less from an RPI engineering alum. :) It's so hard to find service professionals these days who provide the quality of work that Basic Builders did. From his original on-site visit to giving his honest opinion on every question we had along the way and obviously the gorgeous final result -- absolutely an amazing experience and we look forward to recommending them for anyone in the NYC metro area interested in doing a kitchen renovation with IKEA cabinets.
