I am nearing completion of a 8 month brownstone renovation and I think it’s important to recommend our contractors that were excellent to work with and whom I would engage again for my next project, and would want to highly recommend to others. I got multiple quotes on each trade and these were all reasonably priced also.

Phils Air Conditioning – Nothing was too much trouble for Phil, installed a full central AC system, and end product ran all summer and is wonderful.(718) 477-0081
Chris John Electric – Very professional and reliable – their add is listed on this site.

Omar – Artistic woodcrafts, did our door restoration, bay window mouldings, he’s an excellent craftsman, we love our new doors. 646 541 3409

Joe – Jams Security – Joe installed electronic magnetic strikes on the front entry doors and then wired them to an intercom with LCD screens on each floor, so you can see who’s at the door and with the press of a button let them in from any floor. Really cool. Joe – 347 661 0019

Summit Floors – Brewse is a great guy and their work is remarkable. After an earlier experience with a group of cowboys it’s nice to have found someone who cares about the customer. 646 284 0304

4 Korners – custom kitchen, Scott Rafelle, our kitchen is 90% complete but it’s looking amazing, great local cabinet and furniture maker in Red Hook. 718 909 6157

Also as I was the contractor for the project I had a labourer work for me for the duration of the project, Charles Wold. He is capable of just about anything, he painted, hung plaster, light electrical and plumbing, installed trims, the whole lot. He is looking for his next project and would be well suited to someone who needs an allrounder to get them through their project. 917.837.9165

Hope others find these recommendations helpful…..Finding good contractors is half the battle….and we had some great ones.
Happy renovating…
