Nautilus Contracting Corp

I have so much to say that I've exceeded the review text limit. I've attached my full review as a screenshot in the images below. I don't have the right words to describe just how unusually terrific Erik and his Nautilus Contracting company are to work with. I considered saying "honest", "open", "attentive", "talented", "effective", "experienced", "creative", "trustworthy", and "seasoned", but none of these was strong enough nor colorful enough to capture the unusually wonderful experience my family had working with them. They provided off the charts excellence, far exceeding my vocabulary. And this was achieved in the midst a global pandemic, no less, while we all had heaps of additional stress, uncertainty, and resource scarcity on our plates. I'll begin at the beginning. My wife and I (luckily) hired Nautilus to build a new, fully custom home in Huntington, NY after a recommendation from our architect and a thorough bidding process. Before I say anymore, let it be known that we knew absolutely nothing about any facet of construction (plumbing, electrical, structural, HVAC, etc. etc.) when we began this adventure. I mean absolutely nothing. And we knew even less about the building process, like who's responsible for what, how the money stuff works, etc. etc.. From day one, before a hammer was swung, Erik approached our relative ignorance with patience, honesty, and most importantly an uncanny knack for quickly and thoroughly demystifying these systems, techniques, and processes that were so foreign to us. And this was no small feat considering how big this project was and how little we knew. This is the first of a couple of things to note about working with Nautilus. Erik's patience, ability to communicate even the finest of details to his clients is astounding. If we had worked with anyone else instead of Nautilus, I imagine we would have brow beaten and rushed through all that we did not understand. Erik is also meticulous with his project management flow. Every bit of progress, discussion, and development was logged and available for us to review. Every explanatory sketch he drew for us, every day's work, and so many thousands of progress photos and videos of every open wall at every step of the project logged, and archived for us. Priceless. ... CONTINUED IN ATTACHED SCREENSHOT...

Erik and his crew did an amazing job with our home renovations. They listened to all our concerns and wants and partnered with us closely from the planning/design phase all the way to the finishing. The craftsmanship was impeccable and their work ethic was stellar. Erik did not stop until everything was perf ect with our kitchen and master bath. We are truly very happy with the outcome of both rooms and highly recommend them for any construction project.

Erik delivered a gorgeous high end kitchen from start to finish. You stories of home projects being delayed and taking longer than expected but Erik finished the project early. His guys are all wonderful and of the highest caliber.

Erik remodeled our first house 10 years ago. The workmanship was amazing. We hired him last year to gut and renovate our second home. Once again he did an amazing job. Erik and his crew are respectful, on-time, and most importantly pay attention to every detail. From our wine cellar to our master bath there was no stone unturned. Excellent work!

Very Professional Company. Eric was always on schedule. Gutted Kitchen did complete job. Primo excellent superb fantastic very pleased with entire job. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++.

We hired Island Wide Kitchens to do a unique renovation for us. We needed our garage knocked down, a full septic system put in, along with a fully handicapped apartment. The crazy part was that due to an emergency involving my mother ,this needed to be completed in two months or she would be homeless. Erik Johansen had compassion for our situation and promised us he could do it. Well if Erik says he can do something he means it. The full job was completed right on schedule. The most important part was the level of workmanship. The job was stunning. PERFECT! His design ideas were beautiful. The smallest details were all perfect. Erik loses sleep until everything is just so. Another wonderful thing is that even after the job was completed and we had paid him in full, he still checked back to make sure our landscapers were grading our property correctly. We have had renovations before ,but none compared to this beautiful job. We are looking forward to having Island Wide Kitchens build us the PERFECT kitchen next!
