Hello,

I just used J Thomas Construction as my contractor. They are based in Williamsburg. Their work was fast, efficient and fair. I HIGHLY recommend them. My entire gut renovation was successful due to these guys.

The owner is JT Stewart and his cell phone is (917) 699-3810. Check out their work on their site at www.jthomasnyc.com.

Anyway, give him a call and talk about your project.

Talk to Ted from Capital One Construction. He has done three projects for us (everything from two new bathrooms to a total gut of a brownstone) and he is great. Smart, honest, affordable and very fast. His main weakness is that he isn't terribly savvy with historic fabric. Tell him Andrew from Underhill Ave sent you. 917 577 5839.

I used Jimmy James of Interior Architectural Woodworking (718-284-2440) as my GC for a Brooklyn brick rowhouse renovation. The job's not finished yet but I'm very pleased so far with his professionalism and the quality of work. Job included new plumbing and electrical, plaster work and molding repair, custom cabinets, roofing, paint removal, floor refinishing, and lots of tricky old house odds and ends.

M.R.S. Inc., Renovations Unlimited of Park Slope - speak with Michael Streaman. They've just completed a project that is currently featured on This Old House. He's a master when it comes to rowhouse renovations.

I should also mention that Michael of M.R.S. shares space with Matthew Kaplan, who's a well respected local architect.

Don't use Don Perrone. His company did a bathroom renovation mid-January which he said would take 6-8 days to finish. 2 months later and I'm still waiting for his plumber Doug to come replace the shower body that he broke. I call and text and email and they either don't return my calls or they don't show up when they say they're coming or they keep saying tomorrow, tomorrow. Not to mention, Doug put in my new tub not knowing how to install the trip lever (which stops the drainage), and I wound up with a really cheap push drainer because the trip lever will not function unless he removes the tub. STAY AWAY from these guys.

I did a gut renovation a year ago-everything from the lathe on up-custom finishes, moving plumbing and electrical, installing soundproofing, new windows. I was very pleased with the professional job done by the contractor, Andy at 917-584-7286. A hard-working crew, polite and unobtrusive-We finished within 2 weeks of the schedule. The contractor is smart, solved some complicated problems for me and helped me save some money. Loved the finishes, and the attention to detail. Andy's a pro, and I recommend him with pleasure.
