Hi Casabella,
I used AllRenovation, they did a gut renovation of my brownstone which included 2 kitchens, 2 baths, molding restoration, custom closets, fireplace restoration, a deck from my parlor to garden, central air (A/C only as I decided to keep my hot water system) and some roof work. Their pricing was competitive with the other two companies who submitted bids for my project. I found AllRenovation just more thorough, professional and communicative, the other GC's I had to track down constantly or did not return phone calls...not a good sign. If you like more info you can email me at mr_tico@yahoo.com and I'll send you my home number.
Good Luck,
Allan S.

I'm recommending AllRenovation, they did a total gut of my brownstone which included 2 high-end kitchens, 2 baths, original oak restoration (moldings, doors, etc.), floor installation, wood floor refinishing, custom closets, restoring original pocket doors, a fireplace restoration, a pier mirror restoration, a deck from my parlor to garden, and central air (A/C only as I decided to keep my hot water system).
GPricing was competitive as I bid my project out to other recommended contractors (Torresi and A-Team). I found AllRenovation more professional and communicative, the other GC's were hard to track down or did not return phone calls promptly. The estimate I got from AllRenovation also was very detailed and had the project costs line itemized.
BEWARE of a bulk price estimates with no details...those type of quotes will cost you with change orders down the road! Stick with GC's or companies with past/present projects you can visit and clients you can actually speak to LIVE...very important.
If you like to talk in detail you can email me at mr_tico@yahoo.com and I'll send you my home number.
Good Luck,
Al S.
