"We had an amazing experience working with the Basic Basement Company! They finished our small basement and did a wonderful job. The project coordinator kept the work on track and communicated often. Each crew was punctual, professional, and treated our home with respect. We received compliments from every inspector on the quality of the work throughout the project. Don’t hesitate to call The Basic Basement Company for your next project!"

"I am thrilled to express my utmost satisfaction with the recent Japanese-style bath renovation completed by Your Way contractors. The entire experience, from the initial consultation to the final touches, was nothing short of exceptional. We had our basement done with them more than a decade ago. I was and have been so happy with the outcome I have kept its name on my contact list. The contractors seamlessly integrated essential features like a deep soaking tub, its unique layout, carefully selected tiles, and ambient lighting (completed by their attentive electrician) and brought a unique blend of cultural sensitivity and technical expertise to the project. Throughout the process, Gene’s team maintained open communication, ensuring that every decision aligned with my vision for the space. Their collaborative approach, combined with their skillset, knowledge, and experience made the entire project smooth and enjoyable. Ryan, our main contractor, worked tirelessly to make sure that every detail was rectified to my satisfaction. He is a highly skilled contractor himself but his professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern he showed us was so remarkable that I was so impressed by every step of the project. Not to mention how delightful he was as a communicator. When a challenge arose during the tile installation phase and the subcontractor fell short of my expectations, Gene, the owner, recognizing that the tile work did not meet the high standards the company upholds, personally stepped in to rectify the situation, dedicating days of his labor to ensure my complete satisfaction. Their commitment to superbness and attention to detail truly transformed my vision into a serene and aesthetically pleasing Japanese-inspired sanctuary. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a contractor who not only stands behind their work but goes above and beyond to ensure a positive customer experience. Sincerely, Kiyomi Hubert"

"The initial meeting with John was promising. He was straightforward, easy to talk to, and quickly provided a quote without being pushy. I appreciated that he offered light recommendations without trying to upsell us. After that first meeting, I felt comfortable moving forward. I had John come out one more time so my boyfriend could meet him, ask a few more questions, and finalize the siding and color choices. The next morning, John texted early, saying he’d be by within the hour to pick up the $10,000 deposit. We were told materials would be ordered right away and the project would begin by the end of the month. However, as that date approached, we hadn’t heard anything. When we reached out, we were told it would be delayed by another week — and then again, another week. We were okay with some delays, but the complete lack of communication was extremely frustrating, especially since we needed to coordinate our work schedules. We were also told the work wouldn’t involve anything on the inside, but that turned out not to be true — which was a big issue since we have two pets. During the project, our flower beds and garden were completely destroyed. While some wear and tear is expected, there was no reason for a large boxwood bush to be crushed with a cinder block when there was clearly space to work around it. Several things were damaged, including blinds, window sills, a shelf, and part of the entrance flooring. While I understand that accidents happen during construction, what bothered us most was the lack of accountability. None of these issues were addressed until we specifically called them back out to deal with them. John never showed up for a single walkthrough, and to our surprise, the entire job was done by a different company altogether — not his own crew. That was something we hadn't anticipated, and unfortunately, we didn’t think to confirm it beforehand again our fault. The windows installed were low quality and very off-brand compared to what we expected. We had also discussed having decorative grills/grid lines in the windows, which were completely left out. In the end, while everything listed in the contract was technically delivered, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The workmanship felt sloppy, communication was almost nonexistent, and the lack of oversight from the owner was disappointing. We definitely feel we overpaid for what we received. It’s partly on us for not being more proactive during the process, but someone who takes pride in their business would have at least done one final inspection or walkthrough."

"RUN FAR AWAY FROM ALLIED AND TOM. Tom took my money and did not complete the renovations as per our contract. He lied about having a licensed electrician to do electrical work, it was just one of his workers who's not licensed. I paid for a dumpster and when it was delivered by tom it was already half full from another allied job and I was asked to pay the full amount of $950. Tom didn't listen to anything I said regarding the work I requested and he changed my design and did work that was cheaper for him. I was priced for one of my ceiling's to be ripped out and reinstalled with new sheetrock, Tom waited until I was away on business then he installed sheetrock on top of the bad sheetrock and told me he ripped out the old sheetrock and installed the new sheetrock, I found out when my EC cut holes to install lights and we found 2 layers of sheetrock preventing the lights from being able to be installed. Allied construction is a cheap, sneaky company who will steal your money and breach your contract. Do not hire these people Tom is a lair. Tom wore a gun in my house on his hip and told me "I use this to get paid by customer who don't want to pay". Tom left live 120v wires hanging out of the walls and ceiling, he removed a banister and didn't replace it for 3 weeks making my home very unsafe for me and my 9 year old son."

"This is an overdue review. I hired Bernie and his team for a kitchen remodel in June 2021, after he did an excellent job with my three bathrooms in 2020. The kitchen remodel was also excellent. His works are efficient, hardworking and clean. My remodel took two weeks, as he had quoted and for the exact price he had quoted. I would hire him and his team again and I referred them to a coworker for her bathroom project. She was also very pleased with their work."

"I hired Oz General Contracting Co Inc in 2013 to remodel my kitchen. The company also remodeled my half bath in 2021 and in 2025 remodeled our main bathroom and linen closet. Every project turned out great! Everyone involved with my projects was courteous, talented, and professional. Ozi Ovadia is a master at maximizing space. I highly recommend this company."

"Professional, Affordable, Excellent Work! We love our new kitchen and bathroom! From the beginning Mohammad Sayed stood out from the other contractors because he was professional, affordable and knowledgeable…even giving us sound advice before we hired him. His team did excellent work and were incredibly responsive, keeping us informed every step of the way. Mohammad always addressed our concerns promptly. He allowed us to lead the process by choosing what we wanted and how we wanted it. Mohammad and his team were professional, reliable, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
The communication was excellent, and we appreciated how Mohammad listened to our needs and incorporated them into the design. We wholeheartedly recommend this contractor."

"Amazing! Joe and the team finished our kitchen in record time and everything looks spectacular. We couldn’t be happier."

"Tanem has a long history of good work. Gene did several projects for me years ago and I was glad to find Paul picked up the same qualities Gene had established. Both are easy to work with, knowledgeable, make lots of helpful suggestions so the project comes out even better than I had thought it would. You tell Paul what you want done, and he, and Gene in an advisory role, find a way to make it even better. They are flexible and just know how to find solutions. Their crews know what they’re doing. Paul keeps checking and keeps you informed as work progresses. I couldn’t be happier to see Paul continuing the Tanem tradition."
