Close attention to detail, responsive to unanticipated but necessary changes such as replacing pipes under the floor; craftsmanship on finished work was excellent. > Budget. Kept to budget. Change orders (necessitated either by owner request, or by unforeseen problems behind walls or under floors) were reasonably priced and met our approval. > Clean-up and cleanliness. The IG crew was outstanding, doing everything possible to keep dust and debris at an absolute minimum: laying down protective paper on all floors and hallway, installing zippered enclosures to all affected rooms, vacuuming and/or mopping the floor wherever they worked or walked at the end of every day, and using exhaust fans to vent dust outside when needed, etc. All this was very important to us, and appreciated, as we mostly stayed in the apartment during the renovation. Plus, IG complied with the building management who is quite demanding of contractors, making sure that the hallways are protected and elevator protocols observed. > Responsiveness. IG, both workers on site and firm owner, was quick to respond to any concerns or questions. > Timeliness: Job was well planned and staffed. Work proceeded on a timely and coordinated basis, with no breaks in the work flow. **★★★★★ — Lief Sannen, June 2018** > We hired IG Improvements to paint our 3200 square foot apartment. The contractor and his crew were professional, courteous and did a wonderful job. They also pointed out and repaired numerous small ailments that an apartment collects over the years. > Their work was meticulous and they took extreme care to protect our belongings and the areas that were finished. I often joked that they vacuumed more than they painted but I would not have wanted it any other way. It was not a quick job, but it was finished in the time frame that they had originally stated. Bravo to a caring contractor and a great crew. **★★★★★ — Jerry Mastalerz, March 2018** > I hired IG Improvements to perform a gut renovation on my 6 family house in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Over the course of the year, I had everything in the building replaced, except of structural joists. IG Improvements provided excellent craftsmanship along with strong leadership in all necessary aspects. All trades were led professionally and the job progress was flawless. Any unexpected issues or problems during construction project were dealt with remarkable knowledge and expertise. > > Buying a house, and renovating it is definitely stressful process for the owner. With Voitec and his crew, I felt as if a lot of pressure was lifted away from my shoulders. **★★★★★ — Jarek Tresko, March 2018** > Working with Woitek from IG Improvements was one of the best construction experiences I had. > I’m an Architect and I can be hard to impress. > Last year IG Improvements renovated our triplex brownstone apartment. > Woitek and his entire crew was incredibly professional. > The project run very smoothly. As this was a gut renovation we discovered few structural surprises after demolition. The team handled with full success every challenge there was. > Attention to details was outstanding. They have my full confidence and I’m looking forward to working with them again. **★★★★★ — Frederick & Melinda Whittum, Jan. 2018** > IG Improvements exhibited the highest degree of professionalism and knowledge from its response to our RFP through completion of the project. The team arrived on site on time every day and gave scrupulous attention to not disturbing the parts of the house not involved in the contract. We are delighted with the quality of work and the manner in which it was executed. The project completed on time and at the estimated price. > It’s worth noting that, in the course of the work, a small gas leak was discovered: fixed in passing, without a change in the contract. Likewise, vandalistic destruction of our alley door was patched pending a permanent fix, to be undertaken by IG Improvements. **★★★★★ — HU-485784, April 2017** > Undertaking any renovation, large or small, can be a daunting process. IG Improvements has proven time and again to be a trustworthy partner with us in our renovation, providing expertise, craftsmanship, and coordination. > > In any renovation you will run into unanticipated issues that need to be resolved. IG Improvements acted as our partner, working with us to identify possible solutions and implement the solution that provides the desired outcome within budget. > > Through a two year gut renovation IG Improvements provided a level of quality craftsmanship that you rarely find in construction companies these days. From heavy structural work to fine finishes and painting, IG Improvements work on all aspects of the job was top quality. > > Voitec is a pleasure to deal with, always professional and level-headed even in stressful times. He provides expert guidance on the overall project, but is also extremely detail oriented and on top of the many, many small items that together add up to ensure the quality of construction. I cannot recommend Voitec and his team at IG Improvements highly enough. > > Highly satisfied client. ## Selected projects - [Upper Westside Townhouse Enlargement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-westside-townhouse-enlargement-pj-vj~5729413) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 18 - [Townhouse horizontal and vertical enlargement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/townhouse-horizontal-and-vertical-enlargement-pj-vj~1953162) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 10 - [Laundry room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laundry-room-pj-vj~3077489) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 3 [See all 3 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/ig-improvements-pfvwus-pf~379652184) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70331463/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/voitec76) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
