Apt Reno: Rafiq, R.K. Constr.

Hi all – I have interviewed many contractors for a large reno project, and I am leaning towards Rafiq of R.K. Construction Co. Has anyone hired him before? If so, what was your experience?? Thanks for sharing – B

  1. I am an Architect / Investor working in Brooklyn. My partners and I have been using Don Perrone of Perrone Construction for many years. He is with us for every project right from the beginning, providing us with insight and detailed pricing. This allows us to properly and cost effectively design a project. His team is professional and very hard working. All our projects have been completed on time; even when there are last minute changes to the scope of work. If I have to describe Don, he is a “get things done” kind of guy. He always makes himself available to us and always stands behind his work. I highly recommend him and his company for all your renovations.

  2. 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.

  4. Hi Brybrybry,

    Just read your post and although have not heard of the contractor you are going to use, but wanted to mention that I just renovated my one bedroom apartment and used J Thomas Construction. They are based in Brooklyn and I can’t say enough great things about them. They were honest, fast, reliable and gave the best customer service along the way.

    The owner is JT Stewart (917) 699 – 3810. Browse their site too http://www.jthomasnyc.com to get an idea of the quality. I highly recommend these guys.
