We went to UHC for an island we wanted to build. The process took about 5 months, meetings to design, build/install. We're now super happy with the build quality, attention to detail, and after sales follow-up. We looked around for quality builders, and talked to a couple of firms out there. The discussions left us feeling like people would build us pretty much anything we wanted, without any thought partnership. The quality seemed marginally better than stock cabinets you could buy from anywhere. The price to quality ratios also seemed very off. George and team on the other hand, they were very thoughtful about ideas we had and how they could be applied practically, with their prior experience working on similar projects. The initial couple of meetings and design phase involved questions about our daily routine, frequently used items, things we may want to hide, etc. Basically, the kind of thinking you would want so when the work is done, you're not sitting there thinking "wish I'd thought of "this". Or SOMEONE had thought of it". We also ran the designs by a friend in Chicago who works on very high end kitchens, and she was impressed by everything we were able to accomplish in the space we had. In a 6ft x 4ft space we were able to fit in a 46 bottle wine fridge, two trash bins, 3 levels for sauces, 2 stacks of drawers with varying depths for tupperware, daily use plates etc, cutlery, miscellaneous items, 2 large pull out drawers for standing bottles of surplus alcohol (window into our life), wine cubbies for 18 wine bottles, and excess storage space for miscellaneous mixers. With our electricians pulling in power, we were able to get Hue lightstrips under the countertop and power outlets so we can work/charge stuff. Installation was shorter than anticipated, and the crew were very efficient and respectful of our needs. The entire team at UHC were very professional, and quick to respond to our questions/concerns. We would highly recommend UHC for your cabinetry needs. In fact they were referred to us by friends who had them construct a few shelves, and were so impressed by the attention to detail, build quality, and thought partnership (all attributes we can vouch for based on our experience). read more

I could not have had a better experience with George, Che, Kayla and the entire Urban Homecraft crew. From our initial call through installation, the communication, attentiveness, knowledge, guidance and patience exhibited by everyone we worked with far exceeded expectations. While we went into the process having an idea of what we wanted, George and Che helped us hone in on that vision, making sure we never lost sight of what it is we wanted to gain while adding invaluable knowledge and guidance to really make sure we maximized the efficiency of the pieces they were building. The installation process also went smoother than we could have imagined, with the crew finishing before their estimated completion date, and working beyond cleanly and quietly. What really stood out during installation is that at the end of each day, the crew consolidated all of their equipment, making sure to ask where the best place to leave it was so as to not disrupt our home, and covering it all with a tarp so it was as safe as possible, which meant a ton especially with a baby and dog running around! Throughout design and installation, and even thereafter, George and Che continuously checked in with us to ensure we were happy with the progress, and address any questions or concerns we had so we always felt we were on the same page and the right track. The professionalism exhibited by the entire team, and the product they built, was all really stellar and I would both recommend them immensely and use them again myself in the future! read more

We hired Urban Homecraft to design and build a wall-length built-in in our bedroom to cover the radiator/provide additional storage and to design and install a floating dining bench along one of the walls in our living room. From the start, George, Eric, Traven, and the entire team were extremely professional, organized, helpful and creative - they understood what we were trying to achieve and provided great guidance toward creating a design with which we were extremely happy. The installation itself was a breeze, and the entire installation team was fantastic and efficient. They were able to adapt the units to our wonky, uneven walls and floors and to make both built-ins look like seamless extensions of our space. Even the units themselves exceeded our expectations in terms of build quality. The millwork was gorgeous and beautifully executed, and they not only made our apartment more functional and space efficient, but also made our space more beautiful and unique! We're extremely happy with the final result of our project, and we couldn't possibly speak more highly of Urban Homecraft's work and professionalism. We would recommend Urban Homecraft to anyone looking to upgrade their space with beautiful and unique custom solutions. read more

Unbelievable process!! Expert work! Last winder we approached George and his team based on a recommendation from another customer. We wanted a custom-built media center. After George's initial consultation, we decided that the first "step" in our remodeling (this may be overstating the scope of what they did) would be to reposition our kitchen island by less than 2 feet, and change the island's cabinetry. Wow, what a difference! Our living room has completely 'opened up' and feels more spacious. We lost nothing from the kitchen that we can notice - if anything, the spatial optimization has afforded us more storage. Not to mention, we got a beautiful piece of white quartz for the island surface at cost from a previous project - basically a $6000 piece of stone for $2500, and it looks amazing! also -the process. Multiple consultations, designs, customer input (all of which happen to be on Zoom because of Covid), and they have a great design team! and honestly? I don't get the sense that we paid a new york premium either! Fast workers, obeyed all Covid building protocols (this is not true of the big box contractors, like Home Depot) You will be VERY happy! I cannot recommend enough Kenneth Sundaresan read more

I cannot express just how happy I am with the custom cabinets Urban Homecraft built for my small galley kitchen in New York. They are gorgeous! Working with the designer (Kayla), the owner (George), the installers (Duran and his assistant) was wonderful. All were very responsive from the minute I contacted them to the day they finished. Kayla is so so good. She listens, looks, and comes up with suggestions you haven't thought of, that maximize the space, all while keeping it looking fantastic. She thinks through every, single detail; nothing escapes her. She also works quickly and efficiently. An incredible talent and so easy to work with. George is great. He was proactive with ideas and completely transparent about pricing and timing. Duran is a gentleman and an artist. His installation is perfect. The people who work for this company are outstanding. They know what they are doing, do it so well, take pride in their work and treat the customer with respect. Communication is excellent. The cabinets came in on time (actually, two weeks early), on budget, and more beautiful and more functional than I could possibly have imagined. I am so lucky to have found Urban Homecraft and am recommending them to everyone. read more

I have worked with George and his crew from Urban Homecraft twice in the last two years. I highly recommend them. They spend hours with you at the beginning of a project, helping you design the perfect unit - one that fits perfectly in your space (both the design and the measurements), will look stunning, and utilizes the space as efficiently as possible. They are also extremely cost conscious and work within your budget. The team leaves no detail to chance. They have multiple consultations with you throughout the project to make sure they don't miss any small imperfection in the space that will require design tweaking. They take incredible pride in their beautiful work and clearly want their customers to be happy. To that end, they ask you throughout the project to consider what you want to use the unit for, for example, paperback books or large table book, boots or flats, purses or book bags - to make sure that once the unit is built, everything fits exactly as planned. They are easy to communicate with, very accessible, trustworthy and overall such a pleasure to work with. read more

Urban Homecraft came highly recommended by two previous customers. We had just moved into our new home in Brooklyn and needed custom wardrobes/closets. After sharing my vision and multiple photos of inspiration, George and his team were able to take the dream of what we needed for the space and recommend even more outstanding details that transformed the entire unit. Through it all, the team was extremely transparent and communicated frequently with updates, meetings, and questions. They made the process not stressful at all and guided any decisions we had to make. The one word I would describe for their professionalism is PRECISE and DETAILED. I listed all of the important items I wanted to the closets to store and they took measurements (even my luggage) to make sure all of the items had a place. I would highly recommend Urban Homecraft to anyone looking to renovate or have custom builds of anything in their home. They are professional, responsive, diligent and talented. We are dreaming of the next time we can use them for our next home project read more

I hired Urban Homecraft to help design and build 2 facing shelving units with a joining banquette under double windows. I have an historic house and wanted the unit to respect and fit in with the style of the house. George and his team were great to work with in the design process. There were several revisions of the design, so when the building phase started, every concern had been addressed, and every detail had been worked out. Once the design had been finally approved, the shop work was finished fairly quickly. Urban built the pieces of the unit in a very logical way, so the installation process would be quick and efficient. Urban's installers were very careful, and precise, as well as bringing very thoughtful and responsive to any questions or concerns I had. The final product met all my expectations for what I imagined for the space. I had no complaints, and the pricing, although not inexpensive was certainly worth the service and quality I received. I would recommend Urban Homecraft to anyone who is looking for interior carpentry. read more

We hired Urban Homecraft to design and create 3 separate, equally stylish (modern minimalist) storage pieces for our apartment in Dumbo and the result was stunning. Our home is much more functional as a direct result, and beautiful as well. The process was entirely professional and seamless - a representative from UH came to our place to discuss our needs and within a couple of days we had a detailed design mock-up & price proposal. Everything proceeded like clockwork with clear communication throughout; no deadlines were missed, installation was also faster than anticipated and a total pleasure. I highly recommend Urban Homecraft for anyone looking to maximize their space, or just modernize their storage needs. They are creative and innovative with design (classic and modern), efficient, and use high quality materials - very much worth the pricetag. read more

We are extremely satisfied clients of Urban Homecraft. We had just purchased an apartment in Washington Heights and wanted two custom made wall units made -- one for the living room and one for a home office. We shopped around for cabinet makers, selected Urban Homecraft, and are very glad we did. This was our first time embarking on a project like this and George Evageliou and his excellent colleagues were perfect. From the get-go they were punctual, responsive and professional. The design process was iterative. Through visits, drawings and good advice from George and Co. we ended up with exactly what we wanted. The finished products are stunning. The craftsmanship and quality are evident from afar and from up close. We are delighted and can highly recommend Urban Homecraft. read more

George and his team at Urban Homecraft did an amazing, professional job for our renovated home office and library cabinetry. We had been stymied in terms of how to creatively use a 'dead space' in our apartment - Urban Homecraft had both a clear and flexible vision for how to overhaul it. They offered a variety of clean aesthetic choices, and were very responsive to our feedback and design tweaks. Once we locked in the final decision, their process was smooth, well-handled and on-time. Their communication and expectation management was top notch. The final deliverable was exactly what we wanted - almost looks precisely like the rendering, it is so perfectly executed. They are friendly, professional, no upselling, on budget, honest price, quality work. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are highly competent, qualified professionals. Each step in the process was executed perfectly, from the initial consultation (with great ideas from George who helped me design perfect storage and drawer spaces where ho-hum closets used to be), to drawings by Kayla with great attention to detail and my specific needs, through execution by their professional installation team of real perfectionists who saw to every detail in the drawings and made sure that they delivered exactly what they promised. They were courteous to my building staff and very clean. They run a tight ship but were also understanding and accommodating when we hit a roadblock with my building (through no fault of theirs). I strongly recommend them without any reservation. read more

George & Urban Homecraft have completely transformed my apartment. Twice. We were so pleased with the work done in our previous apartment that we called on Uban Homecraft a second time after moving. During the design phase, the team is collaborative, meticulous, and extremely creative. They take pains to ensure that they have a thorough understanding of your needs before developing a communicative set of drawings and renderings for critique and revision. As far as the work, the install teams are professional, efficient and neat and the end result is beautiful. We've referred several friends and neighbors and they always come to the same conclusions. I can't recommend George and his team highly enough! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Urban Homecraft for a wall of built-in shelves. From the very first session where George provided lots of ideas that helped us really think through our needs to the last, it was a great process. The end result truly looks beautiful and really makes our home feel so much more like "our" home given how well the wall unit meets our needs. I was also incredibly impressed by the precision of the work through all the designs and watching them install it. The quality really was impressive, and everyone who we worked with was very gracious and professional. I'd love to find another project in my home and would recommend them highly. read more

I first contracted Urban Homecraft for completely new kitchen cabinetry for my apartment four years ago. It would be hard to be happier. My design and needs translated into something really functional an really beautiful, by sane, helpful and meticulous people. The work was so nice that I subsequently got bookcases for my living room and bedroom, and then ordered a storage bed. Then I completed the bedroom with cabinets and a nightstand. Now I think I might be "finished," having added foyer cabinets and bookcases, and a desk. I found them through a recommendation from another cabinetmaker. Everything is perfect and I couldn't have been luckier. read more

Extremely happy with the full wall built-in bookshelf and media center that the team at Urban Homecraft provided. They were a pleasure to work with, highly responsive and professional with multiple check-ins along the way from a design, measurement, re-design perspective that led to final delivery of a custom crafted built-in suited perfectly to our needs. There were a variety of material choices, all of high quality, and the final construction is well-executed. In addition, cost and payment installments were very visible and consistent out of the gate, and the team did everything in their power to beat their initial timing estimate for completion. read more

We had custom closets designed and built for our bedroom by Urban Homecraft. From start to finish the experience was very professional and detail-oriented. After the initial consultation we worked with one of their designers to finalize the plans. Our concerns and requests were accommodated and the final design was truly customized to our needs. The install itself went well. The men who came to do the install were courteous and made sure to be unobtrusive, especially considering we had a baby in the apartment. All in all we are very pleased with the final closets, they are well-built and look good. We are glad we worked with Urban Homecraft. read more

Urban Homecraft completely transformed our loft space with built-in storage cabinets, shelving and a wine fridge! We could not be happier with how the project turned out. This company far exceeded our expectations, not only in terms of the outcome, but in terms of the entire process, from design to install. The design process was fun and exciting, cost was always transparent, timeline was clear from start to finish, questions were not only answered, but encouraged -- it truly was the dream scenario for a home improvement project. All the people who work with this company just seem like real experts who follow through on what they promise. read more

The Urban Homecraft team exceeded our expectations. We hired them to design built-ins in our living room and a custom dining banquette with storage. They were total pros every step of the way. The install team was amazing - they finished early! We have had a lot of work done on our brownstone and George, Che and the rest of the team are our top recommendation. Pricing estimates never changed except when we added features, and then every charge was highlighted and our approval was sought before executing. No surprises, easy to work with, and professional, beautiful end product. Thank you Urban Homecraft - We LOVE our built ins! read more
