Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Valley Stream, 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."

"Jeff and his team recently completed two projects for us. First, they completely remodeled our master bathroom. This was a two-week+ project where they first removed our old bathroom, right down to the studs, and then expertly rebuilt every component of our new bathroom, including replacing a 40 year old bathtub with a beautiful new tiled shower. We are thrilled with our new bath. The second project they completed was to completely remodel our garage---floor to ceiling--- with new sheetrock, electrical, insulation, and paint. Early during this project Jeff discovered several electrical code violations, that he and his team then spent over a day correcting. This was unanticipated and required more work, although Jeff did not increase his price for the project. Throughout both projects we found Jeff to be very easy to work with and responsive to any questions or suggestions that we had. His crew was always on-time and kept the job site neat---cleaning-up at the end of each day. We are planning on having Northgate remodel our second bathrooom and replace our front door in early spring and would highly recommend Jeff and his team for any and all home remodeling projects. If you are looking for an honest, dependable, and experienced contractor that delivers the highest quality....look no further than Northgate Home Improvement!"

"I was extremely happy with this company. I liked the fact that he would come to install one door. (Good to his advertisement, he goes to Suffolk county) It turned out to be more than the one door.. He returned my call, the same day. I found Greg, a pleasure to deal with. I chose his company to call, over 3 other names I felt fortunate, it worked out so well, and I made an excellent choice. Now have the name of someone who handles all types of home repairs, that does excellent work. I was extremely impressed, that upon walking up to my door, he removed the snow, off the steps. Top notch company!"

"LI & A Construction completed two projects for us. The first was last summer. Mr. Hetnarien and his team eliminated a section of the houseâ s back deck. This year LI & A Construction updated a section of a small bathroom in our house. On both projects, Mr. Hetnarien and his crew did an outstanding job. My research for a general contractor led me to LI & A Contraction Corp. My first requirement was that the business have the necessary license and insurance in good standing and Mr. Hetnarien â s business did. On communication and responsiveness, they get high marks. Mr. Hetnarien always got back to me within 48 hours. He is both accessible and approachable. Both jobs were carried out promptly. If they anticipated a delay because of bad weather (and there was), this was made known to me ahead of time. He and his team are knowledgeable, professional, and respectful. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Hetnarien again."

"My wife had visualized her dream kitchen for years. Fine design came in and answered all her questions and delivered the kitchen that made her dreams come true. What impressed us in addition to the quality of the work was the consideration for the cleanliness of our home. I was so impressed that after the kitchen was done I had Fine Design come in to redo the rest of my home. From all the bathrooms to all the bedrooms and even the laundry room. My wife and I are delighted we contracted with Fine Design and are sure you would be too."

"After interviewing multiple contractors for the major renovations needed in my home, I am so happy and pleased that I made the wisest decision and hired LI Developers. From day 1 Jakob was honest, professional and reliable. Our scope of work included gut renovation of the kitchen - redesigning the layout and expanding of same, replacing the water damaged floor in the living room and fixing the subfloor that was damaged, brand new siding outside, a new roof, renovations to the existing deck and fixing the foundation. From day one and every step of the way since then Jakob and his amazing crew have been reliable, professional and a pure pleasure to work with. The work was done seamlessly, meticulously and in a timely manner, Jakob also worked as a designer and has amazing taste and ideas in making everything look straight out of Architectural Digest! I truly feel like LI Developers treated me as if I was family throughout this whole process, and although nobody looks forward to a home renovation I would look forward to many more renovations knowing that LI Developers will be by my side."

"OMG! We hired Nunez Construction to remodel/refresh our bathroom.The owner, Efren came in, we told him what we needed, he told us what he could do and a reasonable price. After meeting other contractors we found Efren to be the most punctual, personable and professional man exceeding all others. He immediately complied with all documents required by our co-op and arranged to do the work. His 5 men team are also punctual and professional; always cleaning after themselves. Working well and responsibly focus with each other. We will highly recommend Nunez Construction to anyone needing any construction work in their home or apartment. We already recommended them to our neighbor who saw the work they did and was impressed with the end result."

"U.S. Home remodeling did extensive work on a total remodeling of our home. From the start to finish, they were always courteous, respectful and thorough. The quality of their workmanship was excellent throughout. I highly recommend them for all of your projects."

"Homecraft did an exquisite and flawless job remodeling our bathroom. We particularly appreciated the undivided attention that is allowed by their appointment system for consultations. They worked with us to customize the features to suit our needs and were open and creative in responding to our non-standard requests. The carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and tile work were performed by craftsmen who were clearly masters of their trades. Our old house served up a few surprises during the remodeling but Homecraft was able to resolve every problem with their connections to top-notch contractors outside of their usual services."
