Sam Richman did a to-the-studs renovation of my 80-year-old NYC apartment kitchen and pantry plus…read morereplastering my old apartment walls with cove ceilings and new baseboards. Rotted window woodwork was repaired. His friendly, skilled workmen cleaned up each night -- our super even complimented them. Sam kept to our detailed workplan/estimate and billed me weekly for materials and labor completed that week. Moreover, he made ingenious suggestions to install attractive ceiling lighting (it changed the whole room) and constructed a sliding cover for my ugly air conditioner. I hired him after receiving good recommendations from neighbors and seeing the work he had done for them. Sam Richman is an experienced contractor and skilled carpenter. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Andy Oncall of Essex was not different. Very professional and clean. The customer service was also outstanding as you speak to a knowledgeable person. They were able to take care of the tiles we needed replaced on the bathroom floors and shower walls. Recommended and will use again. Thank you.

I got a postcard from Andy and decided to give them a shot. I really liked that they didn't charge by the hour, but gave you a price for the job. The only other place was charging about $200 to walk in the door and couldn't come for a couple of weeks. Andy came immediately in the person of Steven Wisniewski and he was wonderful. He saw that the situation needed immediate attention and returned the next day (which was Sunday) and stayed until everything was fixed. I can' express how happy I was with Andy and Steven!

This is the third time I have used Champion for a major job, and I couldn't be happier. We had…read morewater penetrating from the wall and floor of our garage, and finally decided that it was coming up through the concrete. The garage floor was 80 years old and only an inch thick. I worked with Danny on a scope that addressed the garage floor, the rear concrete deck, the sidewalk, and also provided painting and finishing in the garage. He was very patient while working out the scope and cut back or found much cheaper solutions for parts of the job. As usual, during the work Danny called me every day (how often can you say that about a contractor) to let me know the status or check on decisions. He recommended a more durable screen door replacement and he also replaced an existing light fixture at no charge. We identified some additional drainage problems that contributed to the leakage, and quickly agreed to an expanded scope to cover drain repairs at a reasonable price. His crew were extremely considerate, timely, reliable and knowledgeable. All of his recommendations were solid, and he worked hard to accommodate our budget. Where he couldn't, he was absolutely correct in recommending a slightly more expensive solution to address unexpected conditions and cut back on other parts of the scope. Today we have a watertight garage (which I thought would never be possible) that is clean, painted and useful. We were able to park our car in it, avoiding a major snowstorm, for the first time in ten years. Heavy rainstorms have not produced water inside. Danny is trustworthy and reliable and we are pleased with the work of each member of his team.

I made an appointment with Danny to look at the bathroom at the town home that we are buying. We…read morewanted a complete renovation. First of all he arrives 45 minutes late for 10am appointment. He called at 10 to say he was leaving. The broker, my wife, and I stood around till he shows inconveniencing us and the homeowner. He looks it over and also declares that we should use him for painting too as we want to repaint the entire home. In the entire time he took no notes, measurements, etc. We leave with Danny stating that he would be back to us with ideas in a few days. A week later he hasn't called so I email and call. Finally he texts back to say he was away for a few days and that he would call after the weekend. We never heard from him again. Thank goodness we never did business with Danny and Champion!

I am a first time home owner and a total novice to renovations, and they were so patient with all our questions and reassurance seeking and the outcome was amazing! All of Mike's recommendations were spot on to enhance the project we envisioned. Angel went above and beyond with getting the project done in the face of some major unexpected problems (helped to bring a 400 pound fridge in the building when the delivery company abandoned it outside). I would gladly recommend them to anyone!

The whole team is detail oriented, and they strive for perfection, and it sure shows in the outcome. I had a great experience working with them and I would highly recommend them for any project you might have. I have few more projects to do and Michael is my go-to contractor going forward. What I liked the most ( it might sound strange to some) is the care they took to cover all our belongings and cleaned up at the end of the day I Love the way my mothers bathroom turned out and I can't wait to do mine

1 star because I can't give 0. Benji is the least professional person I have ever hired. We made…read morethe mistake of using him twice - don't bother hiring him once. The first time, he showed up, took measurement and my deposit then came a couple weeks later to do some demo/prep work. After that he would disappear for weeks or months at a time - always with an excuse or promise to be there "by the end of the week" or "early next week." After finally completing the work at least 6 months behind schedule (build builtin pantry cabinet, replace basement windows, fix some stairs, build mud room cubbies and some other handy man work) he tried to charge me extra for using maple instead of pine - I pulled out the contract to show him that maple was built into his estimate. The overall quality of the work was good except the paint he used cracked - we called him to have him fix it and started talking to him about other work we wanted done. He gave us this song and dance about how he felt terrible about how he treated us the first time around and wanted a chance to make it up to us. We made the mistake of taking his low bid because again after taking our deposit and doing some initial work in April of 2016, he again disappeared for months. After hanging the drywall and putting a coat of primer on he said he'd be back in 3 weeks to install the desk and cabinets. Of course we didn't hear from him for about 7 weeks when we talked about him refinishing the floors while we were on vacation. Of course, we came back from vacation and about half the floor had been sanded. I finally got a hold of him and he argued that his contract stated the project would take 6 weeks. When I told him it had already been 9 he fumbled through some excuses and apologies and promised to finish the floors and install the desk in 2 weeks. That was July, we didn't hear from him again for a month. I started calling him every week where he would promise to be done by the end of the week. At the end of the week he would promise to be done by early the next week. He did finish the floors by working on them an hour a night for a week or so - showing up to work after our kids were in bed. For months he constantly lied about how the desk was done, it just needed to be painted. When he finally showed up in November to take measurements, it was clear he never started the desk. He finally installed the desk in January of 2017 and he charged me extra for work he needed to do because he built the cabinets too short. Throughout the process he would send us pictures of other jobs he was working on as if that was supposed to make us feel better that he was using our deposit to finance someone else's project while neglecting ours. At one point he told us that some people get attention while other jobs suffer and ours was one that suffered - that's just the way it is. He's cheap but he's not worth the lies, delays and the headaches. And by the way, the paint on the cabinets he repainted cracked again about 2 weeks after we paid him. Do yourself a favor and pay a little extra for a reliable professional.

His estimate was reasonable for the amount of work to be done and very competitive with estimates I had already received from five other contractors. Andrew and his assistant Matt took about two days to transform my kitchen into something really sharp. Andrew was very thorough and even took care of some odds and ends that were left by the builder (and previous contractor who installed the counter top). Also, Andrew was very neat - he covered the counter top to avoid any damage or stains and swept the floor after both days of working. After they left, you would never know that two people were sawing tiles and working with grout and tile adhesive all day. I wouldn't hesitate to book Andrew for any other jobs I need done around the apartment. It was a five-star experience from start to finish and I'm glad I found the Handy Andy Squad.
