Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Manhattan, NY

"We did an almost-gut renovation of the top floor apartment of a brownstone building in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. Scott Chatel was not the only contractor we solicited, but his vision of the job and his pricing were the most realistic. Scott is very easy to deal with. He was available for consultation both during and outside regular business hours. While he had several jobs going at once, his son Paul was in charge of our renovation, and one or the other of them was always available to discuss the construction and to answer questions. Scott did not let little glitches get in the way, and he took care of minor problems without extra charge. For example, we needed to move everything out of the apartment for the renovation, and on the start date we still needed to get rid of some furniture items. Scott's demolition guys took care of moving everything out. We had a tight 10-week schedule to make, and Scott was sensitive to getting the job done as scheduled. Scott met with us to schedule the timing for when different items (bathroom fixtures, appliances, etc.) needed to arrive both so they'd be available when needed, and also to make sure they were not in the way too early. It is impossible to anticipate everything that can crop up during a project, and Scott was flexible in dealing with the smaller issues and accommodating in dealing with the larger ones. The major unforeseen issue we faced was that our subfloor was in worse shape than anticipated, and needed to be rebuilt before the new floor could be laid on top. Despite the extra work, Scott stuck to the overall schedule to finish on time. Scott was helpful with design suggestions, such as adding a small soffit over some of the kitchen cabinets and creating a bar area by building some shelves in a corner. Scott's electrical, plumbing, and tile subcontractors all did good work. (Initially the tile work in the master bath was not up to snuff, but Scott had the tile contractor return, and he did an excellent job fixing everything.) Scott made sure to clean up the work area and the entire building's hallways that got dusty from the work. Scott returned at a mutually convenient time to take care of everything on our "punch list," and we anticipate one more visit (a full year later) to handle one or two smaller items that have cropped up. In a century-old brownstone, no corner is exactly square, and no surface is perfectly level. Scott's crew did a skillful and professional job of working with the building's quirks to make the work look right. We are very happy with the quality of the workmanship. He built closets to our specifications; he fit a bathtub into an area that previously held an oversize stall shower; he fit recessed lighting around existing skylights. Overall, we think we received great value: very good work at a fair price. We think Scott is a gem."

"HFM Builders did an amazing job with a major renovation, redoing our kitchen and two bathrooms. Great communication, always on time, very clean, and a stunning renovation. Highly recommend Howard and his team for any renovation needed. Thank you!!"

"I recently closed on my new-build condo in Stuyvesant Heights area of Brooklyn this past March 2023, & needed a local general contractor to execute a long list of works to bring my designs for the unit to life & add some character to it. When I contacted Waxtel LLC, Dave (owner) priced the large job I requested (general contractor, electrical, and plumbing works) reasonably within my budget, was very responsive, & kept communication clear. Rich (PM) helped support the contractor team in execution of the works, but myself/husband did have to handhold some of the contractor works to ensure it was done on time & met our quality standards."

"As someone who can be skeptical of handyman jobs in homes, this company earned my trust and my business. Not only did they assist in fixing various problems in my residence, they worked with me every step of the way and did everything possible with professionalism and care. Their communication was always on point and were open to suggestions and new ideas and concepts. Discreet, kind, and moderately priced, these guys are my new top choice for any work in my residence, from electrical to plumbing to construction. They can do anything. Try them first before you pick anyone else. You'll thank me."

"My family has been hiring Gaudioso Contracting since 2016 for multiple renovations on our 2 family home. I think the fact that we have hired them time and time again for our renovation projects speaks for itself. They do excellent work, are up front about costs, and are quick to respond to any questions. They also seem to take pride in their work, as they well should. We have had so many compliments on the renovations to our home over the years. This time they redid our roof, completed some minor repairs to our rental unit (painting etc) and filled in the holes for two AC wall units that we had just replaced with mini splits. The worker that does their brick work is meticulous. He matched the brick pattern exactly. It is nearly impossible to tell that a huge hole was filled in. Work was completed within a week and the apartment and outdoor areas left clean. We would hire them again without hesitation."

"We recently hired Starlight Construct to paint our entire apartment. We needed ceilings, doors, windowsills, moldings and all walls painted. We also needed some repairs to cracks in our walls and previous paint. Basit and his team were professional and efficient. They completed the project a day early and the work was meticulously and beautifully done. I would definitely hire Starlight again for any home improvement projects."

"Alex and Nelson did a great job for me. The were fast and thorough. Cleaned up nicely afterwards. I definitely recommend them for future projects."

"It's rare to hear "I love my contractor" but that's what Tony's Contracting Group was to us. My husband & I had a gut renovation of our prewar bathroom. After interviewing 4 contractors, we chose Tony's Contracting Group and we're so happy we did! From the start to finish Tony was either on site or reachable by phone. He helped in the design planning and the workmanship from his team was excellent. They ran into some plumbing issues when they started the demo and Tony was vigilant in making sure these issues were resolved and up to code. It's very evident that Tony is a man of his word, trustworthy, and has a very high standard for customer service. We won't hesitate to endorse him and will use him the next time we need renovation work. Kudos to Tony and his team!"
