Get matched with top outdoor kitchen builders in Forest Hills, NY

"They were professional, came on time and completed the project as scheduled was very impressed with their work. I would highly recommend this company for anyone interested in doing pavers and walkway or any kind of Masonary work you wonâ t be disappointed."

"He is fair with pricing great work and honest clean work they do is amazing 10 out of 10 recommend them for efficient clean work!"

"Amazing experience, amazing company, amazing work. Start to Finish, they were very transparent and achieved all the timelines they established. Also did a fantastic job and I love how the tile job in my bathroom came out!"

"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."

"Good attention to detail and staying within budget. Went above and beyond when having to pack and move items left in the cabinets. Communication was good, but job took longer than anticipated and planned. Hard worker and honest businessman."

"The contractors came to my home everyday early and ready to work. All my furnishings were covered or completely removed from the work area. No damage occurred thru out the entire job. The workers were very respectful to me and my family and accommodating to all my special request. Such as securing all loose floor boards to eliminate squeaking and filling all small holes in the general surrounding area. Electric lighting was placed perfectly spaced which illuminated my space beautifully. I am very happy with the work performed by Imperial Contracting of NYC and would recommend the company everyone who needs remodeling and general contracting work."

"Great! Alex was professional, efficient and exceeded expectations. And we loved his positive attitude!"

"Nightmare from start to finish. Buckle in. We hired Gaudioso to do a 1-bedroom renovation. They submitted the lowest bid after multiple site visits and design reviews. Once signed, communication problems went rampant. Countless unacknowledged emails, texts, and calls. Weeks of delay for COIs, quotes, and updates. They couldn’t bring brick samples to our building because “it was raining.” After months of working through approvals, they delivered a revised contract that was DOUBLE their original —151% higher—knowing we were locked in. Pure bait-and-switch. They will say the scope of work changed. I will happily share the original designs and final versions and challenge anyone to point out the differences. When I asked for more consistent updates, Anthony called me directly, not to apologize, but to take offense at the tone of my email. He also screamed “I’m not your f***king dude!!!” when I dared utter a colloquial term like “dude” out of frustration for the direction of the call. To this day, a year after signing the contract, I have yet to receive a schedule, calendar, or overall work plan. Once work began, change orders piled up. Tens of thousands of dollars for items like crown and wall moldings, all clearly depicted in the drawings since day one. If I protested, I was told further discussion would add time and they would “put the breaks on progress until it’s sorted,” weaponizing our extended time away from home. Change orders culminated with the hot water tank, an item Gaudioso was paid $3,350 to move one foot. The tank had worked perfectly before this project. After we moved back in, we noticed the tank leaking and notified Gaudioso. Knowing we were in a bind and living in the unit at this point, they submitted a change order of $4,200 to install a new tank after THEY broke the old one. Inexcusable extortion. When I said no, their foreman pushed the idea like a used car salesman, offering to knock off a few hundred dollars if I said yes that day. Finally, we noticed water pooling up around the base of the toilet. I called their plumber and messaged Gaudioso on an email account monitored by their entire staff. No reply. So, I called an emergency plumber who came, moved the toilet, and found a massive, congealed mess of work materials (plastic bags, tape, work rags, debris) shoved down the drain. It was clearly beyond anything accidental. See pictures. Anthony will say that other contractors were on site during the project and could have done it (he is referring to a carpenter I had cutting and sanding wood outside of the unit for a few hours). He will deny everything else. To which I say, please let me prove it. Find me on LinkedIn, shoot me a message. I will happily share every single email, text, picture, and contract. After two weeks of no response to my duress message, and only reaching out to ask for money, I told Gaudioso I am terminating the contract. Anthony called me and spent 26 minutes screaming, cursing, and insulting, at one point adding, and I quote: “I’ll found out exactly where you work, I’ll find out exactly who you deal with, I’ll find out who your colleagues are, I'll tell them exactly what a piece of sh*t you are. Cause that’s what you are, a piece of sh*t. F*cking dishonorable piece of sh*t. What goes around comes around, don’t forget. If it doesn’t happen to you, it’ll happen to somebody in your family. You’ll see. Karma’s a bi*ch.” Does that make you feel safe and excited to work with Gaudioso? Protect your wallet, protect your time, protect your home, and protect your family. Choose any of the other dozens of honest contractors in NYC. And please reach out directly if you want proof of any of this – I don’t wish this experience on anyone else."
