We came to Manhattan Cabinets through a referral from neighbors in our apartment building who were so proud to show us their fabulous renovation of three bathrooms. I was nervous to start, overwhelmed by all the choices we'd need to make to renovate our two bathrooms, but from the very beginning it was clear we were in expert hands with Jerry and Zee. Jerry hand-held us through the process of choosing everything, was an excellent listener who really "got" us from the beginning, which was incredibly helpful as important decisions needed to be made throughout the process - Jerry never ever pushed, yet was able to intuit whenever guidance was needed by us. As the renovation proceeded both Jerry and Zee provided excellent support and contact, they were only a phone call or email away, and they dropped by regularly as the work was being done. The proof of this wonderful collaboration is in the final result of two absolutely fabulous bathrooms which are beyond our expectations.
We stayed in our apartment for the duration of the bathrooms being done one at a time, so were able to witness how every person who came to the apartment to work was so highly professional, skilled, and expert in what they did (as well as incredibly nice). The workmanship is outstanding. It seemed that each and every worker kept the areas where they worked, as they worked, very tidy, Each day they left the apartment very clean and neat - which the referring neighbors had told us it would be like - and that made all the difference in our staying in the apartment while the renovation work was being done.
Based on our terrific experience with Manhattan Cabinets, we are now beginning to consider the idea of renovating the kitchen, something we could not have imagined before this. To say we are delighted with the new bathrooms - and everyone and everything that got us here - is an understatement. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Jerry, Zee, and all the workers who made this happen!

Outstanding job on a shower renovation - despite some complications regarding building management and issues with supplies (through no fault of Manhattan Cabinets), Zee was a consummate professional throughout the process and was very kind in guiding me through every step of the way.

Did you know 98% of Manhattan remodels come with surprises? Well, Manhattan Cabinets on the Upper East Side turned every twist into a triumph! Their design team was amazing, bringing our vision to life with stunning cabinets, perfect lighting, and exquisite marble work. Even when we needed a last-minute bathroom vanity to replace a pedestal sink, they pulled off a miracle with grace and expertise. Our new kitchen in our UES apartment is nothing short of breathtaking! ️✨ #DreamKitchen #ManhattanCabinets #RemodelingExcellence #UpperEastSideLiving

We are thrilled and completely satisfied with our total kitchen renovation by Manhattan Cabinets. From start to finish, Zee was regularly in communication with us, always responding promptly to our texts and emails. His design inspirations and suggestions turned out beautifully, and he provided the highest quality materials. The team of Manhattan Cabinet craftsmen are experienced, highly skilled, and true artisans, attending to every detail. They appeared every day at the time promised and the project moved along smoothly with no interruptions. Each one of the team members was a true professional whom we came to think of as a friend. The workmanship was of the highest level. From start to finish, the team was attentive to our need to comfortably remain in our home while the project proceeded, and our space was meticulously cleaned up at the end of each work day. We highly recommend Manhattan Cabinets and will definitely call upon them for future projects.

We could not recommend Zee, Jerry, and their team at Manhattan Cabinets more. Manhattan Cabinets renovated our living room, bedrooms, hallway, and entryway, which included refinishing the floors, replacing doors, putting in new door casings and baseboards, skim coating and repainting the walls and ceiling, and installing hardware and light fixtures. They also made a built-in radiator cover with storage and boxed in multiple heat pipes. At every corner, Manhattan Cabinets' work was spectacular. Zee, who was our primary point of contact, is professional, knowledgeable, and kept us informed at each stage of the process. When unexpected problems arose, Zee approached us with solutions to fix them and keep us on schedule. All of his team members are equally terrific. We will not hesitate to call Manhattan Cabinets in the future.

Our whole experience with Manhattan Cabinets could not have been better. Zee and Jerry provided excellent advice during the design. They understood our aesthetic and made very helpful suggestions. Once the project began, the crew was on-site nearly every day, completing the project in the tight amount of time available. In fact they finished earlier than expected. And the craftsmanship was impeccable. Remodeling in New York City can be a terrifying prospect; horror stories abound. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have found a contractor and company that laid all those nightmares to rest!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Manhattan Cabinets for the renovation of our kitchen and bathrooms, and I cannot express enough how thrilled we are with the results. Manhattan Cabinets proved to be an exceptional contractor in every aspect of the project, providing top-notch service, professionalism, and high-quality workmanship.
From the very beginning, it was evident that Manhattan Cabinets was a cut above the rest. They meticulously listened to our ideas and vision for the renovations, ensuring they fully understood our requirements before commencing work. Throughout the project, they remained receptive to our inputs and were always eager to offer valuable suggestions to enhance the final outcome.
One aspect that stood out the most was their impeccable timeliness. Zee's team was punctual and kept to the agreed-upon schedule, ensuring that the project stayed on track from start to finish. This was highly appreciated as we had a tight timeline to work with, and they managed to complete the renovations within the stipulated time frame without compromising on the quality of their work.
Speaking of quality, Manhattan Cabinets truly exceeded our expectations in this department. The craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed were second to none. Every aspect of the renovation, from the tiling to the fixtures, was completed with precision and finesse, resulting in a beautifully transformed space that now exudes elegance and functionality.
Furthermore, the team working on the project was an absolute pleasure to have around. Each member was not only highly skilled and efficient but also remarkably friendly and approachable. Their dedication and hard work were evident throughout the entire process, and it made the experience even more enjoyable.
A special mention must be made for Zee and Jerry, the owners of Manhattan Cabinets. Their calm and reassuring demeanor were a true asset, especially when unexpected issues arose during the renovation process. They tackled challenges with professionalism and made sure we were informed every step of the way, putting our minds at ease. Zee and Jerry's commitment to customer satisfaction is commendable, and it reflects in the outstanding service his company provides.
In fact, our experience with Manhattan Cabinets has been so exceptional that we have already engaged them for another project in a different apartment. The trust and confidence we have in Zee and his team are unwavering, and we eagerly anticipate the remarkable results they will undoubtedly deliver once again.
If you're seeking a contractor who values excellence, professionalism, and customer satisfaction, look no further than Manhattan Cabinets. They have proven themselves as the go-to team for any renovation project, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of top-tier remodeling services. Thank you, Zee and Jerry, and the entire team, for transforming our living spaces into a dream come true!

Manhattan Cabinets was chosen by one of my friends to build and install cabinets and bookshelves in their living room. I was so impressed by the quality of their workmanship, their attention to details, and their reliability that I asked them whether they could also renovate my bathroom, removing the tub and replacing it with a walk-in shower. They took on that challenge and did a superb job at every stage. Efficient, careful, and pleasant. The retiling was done to perfection, and the sliding door was installed with precision. I am very happy with the quality of their workmanship and highly recommend them!

My husband and I have nothing but praise for Manhattan Cabinets which we hired to renovate our small NYC kitchen. From start to finish, we always felt heard and the job was finished on time and on budget. They have their own in-house construction crew which greatly streamlined the process. As to quality, we found that the materials ordered and their labor to be impeccable. We gave them a specific time frame which they met to the day. Btw, we were out of town and the very nice job supervisor, Zee Abker, gave us daily updates with photos. More importantly, he responded to all of our emails within a few minutes.
The reviews of our neighbors have been extremely positive and one neighbor wants to hire them for their kitchen renovation.

We bought a 2 bedroom apt and basically needed to gut renovate before moving in. Since we had never renovated any previous home, we were quite nervous. We had several friends who had terrible, stressful experiences with contractors when issues arose and their projects were delayed for months while the contractor worked on other jobs.
After asking everyone we knew about renovations, we were referred to Zee by our friend and neighbor who had hired his team to merge a 1 bedroom apartment with a two bedroom apt. The work Zee and his crew did for them was beautiful. Our friend confirmed that Zee’s team’s workmanship was great and that the entire experience was stress free.
Before we decided to go with Zee, I shared with him one of the horror stories I had heard from friends who had used other contractors who either avoided them or even disappeared. And Zee said two things that resonated with us. 1:) ‘We view our customers as family. Once we are done with a renovation our customers are part of the Manhattan Cabinet family so it’s important that we do great work.’ And 2.) ‘Unlike other contractors, I have a retail storefront, so you always know where to find me.’
After speaking with multiple other contractors to compare prices, we hired Zee and his crew. I’m pleased to say our experience with Zee was similar to that of my neighbors. The renovation was stress free, the quality of the work was great and Zee’s crew finished within the agreed upon timeframe despite the ongoing pandemic.
In fact, our new next door neighbors proactively told us they were impressed that Zee’s crew was so respectful and courteous.
It's been months since we moved into our newly renovated apartment and we couldn’t be more pleased. I would strongly recommend Zee and his crew to anyone planning a renovation.

I had a most favorable experience with Jerry, Marco and Raphael. I am very pleased with the finished product. Raphael is nothing short of an artisan. He designed just what I needed and it looks great in the space allotted. Marco knows his job. He is pleasant and very accommodating. He's thorough and he left the place spotless. I highly recommend Manhattan Cabinets and will certainly call on them should the opportunity arise.

Zee & his team at Manhattan Cabinets were amazing… the results came out fantastic, and our entire family cannot be happier! After a nightmare search to find a reputable construction company, we were referred to Zee. From the very beginning, we were impressed with Zee’s professionalism and ability to provide realistic expectations. We needed to combine two 1- bedroom units into one 3-bedroom apartment and create a dining room and a laundry room as well as install four HVAC units and three new exterior windows. Throughout the entire construction process Zee & his crew were professional, detailed and most importantly, delivered a high-end product. Zee also helped us with suggesting many design ideas as well as navigating the complexities of Co-Op board approvals. Thank you again!

Working with Manhattan Cabinets was a wonderful experience, and I am so grateful I was referred to them! The owners (main contacts who managed the project) were patient, thorough, and professional. The team who worked on my apartment renovations -- electrical, plumbing, painting, tile -- was skilled, careful, polite, and thoughtful in everything they did. I could not be more pleased with the quality of their work and highly recommend Manhattan Cabinets.

Manhattan Cabinets is absolutely terrific. I cannot recommend them enough. Zee and his team came to the rescue when my original contractor went under and left our apartment combination in the lurch. All the cabinetry had been removed, there were huge holes in the wall, and the electric had not been wired. Zee expertly took care of this, and we were able to move into our apartment much sooner than expected.
Zee was responsive, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the entire ordeal. He and his team are exceptionally talented. We cannot thank them enough.

We renovated our kitchen on the UWS and had a great experience working with Jerry and Zee at Manhattan Cabinets. They helped guide us through the process and put together a kitchen that we love--we got our cabinets, counter, sink, and hardware through them, and we used their referral for appliances as well. As a team, they were knowledgable about design and function, and they were so thoughtful about making the kitchen right for us. They were excellent to communicate with, so professional, and a total pleasure to work with. We had real peace of mind when it came to anything that went through Jerry and Zee. We had a general contractor but no designer, so we worked with them directly, and we are so appreciative of all of their time and help. They really care about doing the job right, and we are so, so happy with our kitchen. Can't recommend them highly enough.

I believe many companies would have refused to undertake my project. It was a small, but time consuming plumbing project. Manhattan Cabinets not only agreed to do the job but spent countless hours to make sure the work was done right The project was to install a water filtration system. Parts of the new system had to be added to a prior water filtration system. To make matters worse, the manufacturer did not always send the necessary parts and on one occasion, one part was damaged in shipment.
Through no fault of Manhattan Cabinets, it took several days to complete the job and many hours of patient, meticulous work. Anthony, the plumber, made sure that the system was working properly before signing off on the job and even asked me to text him once I had used the system for a few days.
This is a company that definitely puts the interest of their clients first. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I am the property manager of a luxury home in Manhattan. Initially I was hesitant to start the job with a company I've never worked with before. Then, when the pandemic started, I became even more uneasy as everything was placed on hold at the time. Fortunately, the kitchen installation came out beautiful and the owners were very happy. There were only minor touch ups after the job was completed and sure enough, Manhattan Cabinets came back immediately to revise the touch ups. I would strongly recommend this company.

I replaced all my kitchen countertops and cabinet doors with Zee and his team. Attached are finished photos. The door stains came out to be very close to what we picked even though it was a different wood material and we were very satisfied with the outcome.
Pros:
1) Speed: What amazed me was the speed by which they intended to finish. Most companies would ask for 6-8 weeks lead time and delays are usually expected. So when zee called me within three weeks to start installing the cabinet doors I was not even ready with the handle picking so it had to be delayed on my part. The installation process for doors took about 3 working days (1 week gap in between for remaking some parts). The stone took less than 3 weeks from measure to complete installation.
2) Quality: For every nook and cranny of the cabinet, nothing was left out and zee's team went to extra length to make sure everything looked good and aligned properly.
3) Good Communication: Over 50% of the time I just called their office and Zee himself would be able to pick up. The other 50% of the time he would respond to emails within 1 day. I really appreciated the timely response.
1) Cost: I'm sure if you hunt around more and look into the more granular steps in the cabinet making process, there will be some cost savings but sometimes I just need the peace of mind that someone can get it done nicely in a timely fashion and don't mind paying a little more for it.

I hired Manhattan Cabinets to do a complete gut renovation and combine two apartments on the Upper East Side. They were magnificent. The owner, Zee, was completely professional, reasonable and easy to work with from inception to completion. This was a huge several month project, and even when a construction issue presented itself, Manhattan Cabinets was able to resolve the issue without taking advantage of the situation or back charging a ridiculous fee, which is very common for other contractors. They do beautiful work and I highly recommend them.

Zee and his team at Manhattan Cabinets were amazing. I worked with them on the renovation of my master bathroom, among other projects throughout the apartment, and I had a great experience. Zee was extremely detailed-oriented and was understanding along the way as I made changes to existing plans. Zee was also helpful with providing ideas and helping to optimize a small space by adding both storage and functionality. I would recommend working with Manhattan Cabinets to anyone without hesitation. Thanks again to the team for all of their hard work!

Zee, Jerry and the crew at Manhattan Cabinets far exceeded all of our prior experiences with home renovation and any expectations I had when I engaged them to remodel our small galley kitchen. We came to Zee and Jerry with a very specific design concept and inventory of preferred materials and appliances. The goal of the project was to significantly upgrade every functional and aesthetic aspect of the kitchen while remaining within its limited footprint. Together we reviewed the design, materials and constraints of the kitchen space. The design was optimize and refined. Zee and Jerry recommended the Woodharbor Signature cabinet line because of its high quality and broadly customizable range of configurations. The Manhattan Cabinets craft persons are friendly, careful and masters of their skills. Zee & Co. ensured that our kitchen was fully functional in time for the pandemic lock down. We would return to Manhattan Cabinets without hesitation and would recommend them to anyone, anytime.

I did not have an architect. I did not have a designer. I had no idea that in New York City this would be a problem. After a frustrating and fruitless search for someone to design and build my kitchen, I was standing on a corner waiting for the light to change, looked up and saw the sign: Manhattan Cabinets. I walked in; problems solved. My tiny kitchen (about 6x6) was no problem for them -- even though one wall was curved! Zee and Jerry and Rob all worked together to solve my bento-box-like space issues with creativity and patience. When I was 100 miles away during lockdown, Zee FaceTimed me from the apartment to share ideas. One cabinet door had a dent. No problem. They ordered me a new one before I even asked. The project isn't quite finished -- the cabinet hardware has yet to be installed -- but I'm so pleased with how the kitchen that I can't wait to share a photo. Oh -- the range of options is impressive -- the best brands are available -- and the prices quite reasonable.

The gut renovation of my pre-war bathroom is finished and I am extremely happy with the way it turned out. I’m very pleased with how the entire process unfolded with Manhattan Cabinets. Never in my dreams did I imagine things could or would go so smoothly. Since I admitted that I didn’t use my tub, Zee smartly suggested the possibility of a walk-in shower to give me more space, and also because it would be much better for me as I get older. It was a great idea and one that I had not previously considered. Who knew one could be in love with one’s shower! Zee is extremely responsive, professional, smart, experienced, even-tempered, reliable, kind, and considerate. Those wonderful qualities trickle down to his staff as well. I had the good fortune of working with Itzhak, a master craftsman who took great care with all of the details and was a pleasure to work with. The project started exactly on time and ended within the promised time-frame. The coop staff had no concerns or complaints. I have absolutely no hesitations about recommending Zee and Manhattan Cabinets for any project—they are top-notch.

Zee's team did an excellent patching up my walls and finishes and getting lots of little details correct, including some light electrical and light carpentry after I had new mini-split AC's installed. His team took care of a number of other small punch list items at no additional cost that were not part of the proposal we agreed to. It was great to have those done while work was going on and not have to beg and haggle over jobs that would likely have been too small to be of interest to many. This was the final stage of a big renovation project. Zee is communicative and responsive and prices fairly for the quality of work he provides. I would use him again and have no reservations about recommending him to others.

We had a great experience with Manhattan Cabinets, specifically Jerry and her team. They were extremely professional from end to end. As this was our first major construction project, they were able to help us with the design and provided great ideas along the way. They also did the work within the timeframe they estimated. Our
Kitchen renovation turned out great and we are happy we chose to work with this company.

They were amazing. Clean, courteous, always on time. The project came in on-time and on-budget. As with any project, there are always punch list items. They were remarkably responsive and did not leave the job until they heard that we were 100% satisfied. A real treasure of a home remodeling firm.

Zee, Jerry, and their staff did a fantastic job on my apartment renovation! They are extremely knowledgeable,professional and were helpful in guiding me through the project. Qaran and Izik (the contractors) were also very helpful and quick in completing the project! They were at the apartment working everyday for the entirety of the project and kept the apartment clean throughout. They also sent me updates on what was completed when I was not able to stop in. The entire team exceeded expectations and were a pleasure to work with. I would 100% recommend them to others!

We are absolutely thrilled with the results from our gut renovation by Manhattan Cabinets-- combined with ESGC Corp contractors-- of our apartment kitchen, a large galley shape with a big window in a building from 1958. We began with high expectations given that owner Zee his Manhattan Cabinets team. had expertly remodeled the kitchen at my college chum's Manhattan 4 bedroom apartment which included new wood floors throughout.) “ Hire Zee and Eddie (ESGC Corp) for the contractor-- you don’t need to shop around. They are THAT good,”she and her husband recommended to us.
BINGO. they were absolutely right-on and we couldn’t be more satisfied. Manhattan Cabinets truly exceeded our expectations. All the cabinetry, countertops ad electrical work was truly superb. Tiling was a work of art with a meticulous finish. We know what we're talking about.
We are exigent and experienced with renovations: My Scottish husband, a software engineer and also a licensed plumber and electrician in the UK and Germany, with his own experience doing a gut kitchen renovation with his own bare hands including tiling. His invaluable input about our kitchen design included a long countertop that abuts the window. I am a newspaper reporter who has good interior design taste. We both like to ask detailed, probing questions.
We bought all materials including lights from Manhattan Cabinets where the prices were fair-- and in line with what we expected, given our research. (We bought a new fridge, cooktop wall oven, dishwasher and microwave all from Royal Green in White Plains, Ny (very satisfied with their service and our rebates!) and the porcelain wood-like floor from Best Plumbing in Yonkers, NY.
Efficient: Two hour-long meetings with Zee at Manhattan Cabinets office, and one visit to our home where he measured meticulously. Zee helped us fine tune our ideas. One meeting before contract with Eddie (ESGC Corp) the excellent contractor who did my friend’s job-- and who also often works with Manhattan Cabinets.
On time: They promised that the job would last from 6 to 8 weeks, start to finish. Workers began at either 8:30 or 9 am each day. They were cordial and friendly and quiet. Delivered from start to finish in 6 weeks. NO gaps in the work. Workers on time everyday-- never more than one day gap here or there after the demolition started.
Tidy and neat After each workday the workers shop vacuumed everywhere. The complete project was delivered in pristine condition. NO leftover trash debris or dust. Heavy furniture moved back into place.
We gave a much deserved gratuities to each and every worker. Bravo Manhattan Cabinets and ESGC Corp. -- a winning team!

I used Manhattan Cabinets Inc for my apartment redo in NYC.
They designed my kitchen and 2 bathroom vanity’s.
From beginning to end the process was easy and all was accurate and precise.
Deliveries were made in the quoted schedule and there were no issues with damages.
It is a big job taking on a renovation but when you have professional’s like Manhattan Cabinets to hold your hand it really helps!

We wanted to replace the vanity beneath our bathroom sink while preserving the existing marble counter top. Several vendors proposed to do this by removing the marble top at some risk of breaking it and inserting a new cabinet underneath it. Manhattan innovatively suggested rebuilding the existing box and then refacing it with new drawers and door. This approach cost significantly less and did not risk the top. The job was done promptly with a very high standard of workmanship. The craftsman who installed it worked around my schedule and did the job promptly and efficiently. In addition, he installed a new medicine chest that presented some difficulty since the wall was not plumb. We could not be more satisfied.

Our bathtub was recently reglazed by Manhattan Cabinets. The workmanship was excellent and of the highest quality. The finishing work was even and smooth, and the tub looks brand new! The glazer was meticulous in preparation and cleanup, and additionally he was friendly and most courteous. We are extremely pleased with the results, and we highly recommend Manhattan Cabinets.

My new cabinet doors are everything I wanted and more. The only problem was that the delay in installation due to an error on the part of the sales associate. However, Jerry Paguia, ended up taking over my order. Her professionalism and generosity salvaged my confidence and the project. She kept in constant communication with me and gave me a discount. She made sure to send an extremely knowledgeable contractor to install the doors. I would definitely hire Manhattan Cabinets again - as long as Jerry is my associate.

We are extremely happy with our kitchen and are very appreciative of the Manhattan Cabinet team, especially Rob S. They guided us through this tricky and at times confusing process and were patient in answering all of our questions relating to product and design considerations. We met with them several times at their showroom and at our apt. They also worked seamlessly with our architects and general contractor. We started out with an old, outdated galley type kitchen and ended up with an open plan, modern bright kitchen. They exceeded or expectations and we highly recommend them!

What began as a kitchen renovation became the whole parlor floor of our brownstone. Manhattan Cabinets and their wonderful staff honored the character of the 200 year old house while making it more livable for a family with young children. They were always responsive to our needs and the workmen did great work. They installed the new kitchen and powder room, new flooring throughout, new storage cabinets in the front room, did an amazing job refurbishing the falling off the wall staircase, painted and cleaned up beautifully. I would highly recommend Manhattan Cabinets. We would hire them again!

I usually do not write a review. Due to the amazing outcome I was compelled to do so.
Our project was to combine the newly purchased 1 bedroom and our existing 2 bedroom.
My wife and I interviewed over 10 contractors. Some never sent a quote, others where quoting more than the apartment cost.
We then narrowed the list down to 3. We visited some of their projects. They all were fine.
Most showed me an apartment that I found Issues with Sloppy paint jobs, lights not straight, uneven walls and doors that closed poorly. They all had excuses.
For all the money we are about to spend, I just expected a better job.
With pressure to start, my wife and I were about to select one of 3 contractors. The best of the mediocre
Before the decision, I was passing Manhattan Cabinets. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed on their window “ We do full contracting” .
I called Manhattan Cabinets the next day. Zee Akber, the owner, visited and as promised sent me a quote that week.
He was in line with the other 3 contractors in review. I then viewed a project of his. It look very good if not great. I asked a few questions and he had all the correct answers.
We discussed and negotiated and agreed on a price. Most important to us was a move back in date. We rented an apartment in the area for only 4 months.
Prior to the start Zee had full discussions with the building super, engineer and our architect.
On Day 1 - He professionally protected everything that was staying. By the end of the week the demo was completed.
The work was elaborate: Combine the 2 apartments – Walls down. New walls up, New electrical outlets and panels, New lighting 30+ fixtures , New Floors – Everywhere, New Kitchen Island, Paint kitchen cabinets, New Bathroom, Update the current 2 bathrooms, redesign the existing bedroom for larger closets. 14 new doors some 7ft high. Run Data / Voice to every room. Smooth all the walls and paint each room a different color.
Everyday we visited there was 3 to 6 people working on the apt. There was no complaints or issues with his men bring products from street deliveries to the apartment. Or back to the truck when we changed our mind on some 1000lbs of tiles. (twice)
The entire apartment was kept clean, garbage was removed daily or bagged and put to the side for next dumpster load.
Zee was always understanding when items did not arrive on the scheduled date and found other tasks for his men to work on.
We were unable to find a Bathroom sink vanity with Zee excellent ability he built one for less than we would have paid store bought.
We were so impressed with the vanity we had Zee build Heater - Air Conditioner Covers that looks perfect. He even added the extra touch of all the covers doors seal with magnets to allow any needed repair.
Fast forward 4 months later we moved back into our apartment ON TIME. We knew there would be some work to be completed after moving back but the kids rooms were 100% completed which was important to us.
Where there issues. Of Course. Without any complaint, excuses or finger pointing
Zee took care of it.
So my advice when looking for a contractor is as follows.
Look at his work Then hire Manhattan Cabinets.
PS: Zee even knew that Upper Eastside apartments built in the 50-60’s (Like mine) were built with metal frame door with the hinges welded to the door. If you ever got rid of the door side hinge you are in trouble.
Who knows this? I man with experience!

They worked diligently, meticulously and in a timely manner with great attention to detail. They were very responsive to questions during the process and we worked collaboratively. They have great design elements and built a brand new beautiful kitchen for us, in addition to refinishing the floors, walls, any many other projects throughout the apartment.

I hired Zee and his team at Manhattan Cabinets to renovate our apartment during Fall 2017. The project consisted of a gut renovation and Zee was able to execute our vision in a highly professional manner. In hindsight, he exhibited the following traits which I believe makes him stand out from his competitors:
1. Cleanliness: throughout the project (including demo), Zee's team always cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day
2. Problem-solver: any issues that arose during the project, Zee was able to resolve while maintaining consistent communication
3. Execution: the quality of their finishes pertaining to the kitchen, bathroom, flooring and millwork look amazing
As a result, Manhattan Cabinets' service exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them for any renovation projects in the city.

Renovating my kitchen was the worst and best of experiences. I hired Zee after hearing great things about him and his company from other buildikng residents. He has a crew of the nicest, most skilled workers who take pride in what they do, are precise and committed to getting things right. They work quickly and clean the site inside and out after work is finished each day. Zee visited daily and questions were answered promptly and all times of the day and night. I love my new kitchen and I'd recommend Zee and his wonderful guys in a heartbeat.

We used Jerry and Manhattan Cabinets for a gut renovation of our 2 bedroom apartment. My wife and I could not be happier with the result. The workmanship is excellent, everyone was incredibly responsive and polite. The project was done well within the estimated time frame and that included major delays from our building and flood caused by the neighbor upstairs. When this flood occurred, even though unrelated to their work, Jerry and her team were responsive throughout the weekend and helped put us at ease and fixed those problems without any delay to our completion date. Lastly, our building superintendent was so impressed with the work, cleanliness and professionalism that he has been recommending that our neighbors use them and as a result are now doing other projects in our building. We couldn't' be happier. Thank you!

My recent experience with Zee was actually uplifting. Zee responded immediately to my upset about a part of a cabinet I damaged inadvertently. He responded immediately to my emails and queries, and I was told the damaged part could be replaced, and it actually arrived in no time from the manufacturer. In this day and age when so many transactions are a hassle, this one was a pleasure, for its care and efficiency and manner in which Zee conducts his business. THANK YOU ZEE!!!

"I love my contractor!" Words I never thought I'd say. We had a true partnership with Zee and his crew. We had Manhattan Cabinets gut renovate two bathrooms, install custom lighting throughout the apartment, reconfigure doors, install new kitchen and bathroom appliances and fixtures, expertly painted (and plaster) floor to ceiling throughout, and more. The results are amazing!
Our master bathroom looks like something out of a magazine! The tile work is gorgeous (with custom niches) and the lighting and fixtures, rewiring and outlets were expertly installed. Manhattan Cabinets also made custom vanities with stone tops and cabinets for us, which are first-class.
This was a complex project spanning two plus months. Like with any construction project, there were items that needed to be tweaked or revisited. With all construction work, the home owner needs to stay on top of all projects and be clear about what you want and expect. The key is that Manhattan Cabinets had the utmost integrity and commitment to deliver excellent work, so we were able to update Zee or his wonderful crew and they responded quickly to complete each project.
They took our timeline seriously and provided between 2 and 6 workers in our 2 bedroom apartment at any given time, keeping the project on schedule. I highly recommend Manhattan Cabinets and Zee.

Enjoyed working with Jerry and the entire Manhattan Cabinet team. Very professional and high quality of work. Jerry had wonderful design ideas for our bathroom, the custom cabinetry in the bedroom, room and closet layout. She handled all the permit requirements and board approval with the building. She is very detailed oriented and kept us abreast of progress. She would frequently send me samples and helped me find the most fabulous tile. The contractor team was accommodating to fix details as the work progressed and provided valuable input along the way to help us make decisions. I would and have recommended Manhattan Cabinets.

Manhattan Cabinets renovated our alcove studio, gutting the kitchen and bathroom and recreating a sleek and bright space for each of those rooms. The company is first rate: proficient in handling the rules of our building, expert at installation, and highly artistic in their recommendations for what works best in small spaces. Whenever we had a question, Zee Akber and Jerry Paguia were gracious and helpful, clearly dedicated to making us happy with the project. In short, Manhattan Cabinets has an outstanding team to design and to execute a beautiful renovation. We are delighted.

In 2017, I used Manhattan Cabinets, Inc to do major renovations to my UWS 2 br/1 ba co-op apartment. I had both my kitchen and bathroom completely gutted, and then redesigned & renovated. I had all the plumbing and electrical work re-done & brought up to code (nothing had been done by previous owner since 1980's). Ceiling renovated/dropped down to contain electrical re-wiring for new ceiling fan installation in both bedrooms. All the wooden floors were repaired, re-sanded, & re-finished/stained a darker, richer color. Total renovation cost was $110,000. I also had all new kitchen appliances installed, and a washer/dryer installed in the bathroom. Additional appliance cost: approx. $25,000. I highly recommend Manhattan Cabinets. They do Outstanding work. I dealt with the boss, Zee Akber, from start to finish. You will not be disappointed.

Zee and his entire team deserve an A+++ for their work on my Manhattan (nearly full) apartment renovation (3 month project). I am a very meticulous person, and I chose Zee after carefully interviewing about 10 contractors. I could tell from our first interview that Zee has mastered the client experience. He is extremely user friendly. He listens, is patient, and at heart a problem solver. While neither the cheapest nor most expensive, Zee was very reasonable. Best of all, he and his team always paid extreme attention to detail throughout the entire project. Even after the job was done and Zee was paid, he continued to help with small touch ups. He truly went above and beyond and I would recommend him fully for any project, large or small. Finally, Zee is responsive and trustworthy, and always gave me extreme piece of mind during my project. He is truly a star and I look forward to hopefully working together on something else together down the road.

We are writing in reference to the full service design, implementation of our kitchen and separate bar that was done by Zee Akbar and Manhattan Cabinets. This project involved a complete gut of the existing kitchen and designing and installing new cabinetry, countertop and appliances. We are extremely happy with the final product and believe Zee and his team was instrumental in several aspects of the project.
Starting in the design phase, we spent quite a bit of time with Zee planning both the aesthetic and practical aspects of the kitchen and bar. Zee has incredible design ideas and solutions as well as a great selection of very high quality product. Zee ultimately cares about the final product and found solutions to uneven ceilings and floors as well as how to maximize the utility of our space. In addition, on the execution and implementation side, Zee and his team worked with precision, care and delivering this with the highest quality of workmanship. If there were any manufacturing problems or other issues, they handled it, with solutions including reordering new replacements so that in the end we had a flawless kitchen and bar.
In addition to the above, Zee and Manhattan Cabinet’s customer service, integrity and great communication really went far and above our expectations. We would highly recommend Zee and would be very happy to answer any questions.

I cannot recommend Manhattan Cabinets enough. I had radiator covers, desks and the interior of an odd-shaped closet built out and the work is spectacular. Everyone who I dealt with was professional, respectful, time-efficient, polite—from the owner to the cabinet maker. Juan and Marco, their cabinetmakers, took such care and pride in their work and it shows in everything they built and installed.
Zee and Robert were so easy to deal with, which is such a breath of fresh air in the world of contractors and home renovations.
Their mantra is "We just want to make our customers happy." They mean what they say.

Zee helped me choose everything, fast, with excellent taste and to our budget. Our kitchen is practical, beautiful and everything I wanted. We live in a 100 year old very fussy building so paperwork then construction had to be difficult. His workers were polite, neat, and always on time. The punch list is of so few items it is really a pleasant surprise. The tiniest details were addressed quickly and even our super praised his staff as being easy to work with.

After a lot of research we decided to buy all our kitchen cabinets from Manhattan Cabinets. Zee, the owner, is very knowledgeable. He listened patiently and provided several practical options.

While not the least expensive option they came every day (=except for the snow storm) and finished the job in 6 weeks. While I had a reasonably extensive list of items for them to correct at the end of the job they came immediately to fix them. All in all I found this project (a kitchen renovation) to be as painless as possible under the annoying circumstances.

Zee and his associates were kind, courteous, knowledgeable and patient with me, and helped me choose the perfect countertops and backsplash for my kitchen. He worked with me on a tight deadline and answered emails promptly. His contractors were very skilled and professional and showed up on time. He even found me a new trash bin system when mine was broken. I was surprised how painless he made the process, and I love the end result. My kitchen looks so much nicer!

As a designer , a great deal of my work involves managing expectations, and relying on people that can assist in this process. I recently designed a kitchen with Zee at Manhattan Cabinets, as he had come highly recommended from a colleague . We were able to provide a very handsome kitchen , at a very fair price in a reasonable time frame. But even more special was the customer service I received along the way. .

On Time, Exceptional Work and Service, worth every over budget dollar!!
The Manhattan Cabinets' team - painter, carpenter, electrician, plumber and project manager were all very very good. I felt confident about the quality of their work and ended up adding to the to do list on items that I had not planned originally. Very professional and courteous team with great respect for building rules and regulations. I recommend them without any reservations.

The company not only totally renovated my kitchen, but also built a cabinet for my bedroom and fabricated a large windowsill to match my kitchen countertop.
All I can say is that I felt the same way about them at the end of the job as I felt at the beginning. It was a pleasure from beginning to end. loik no further!

Zee is amazing. A repair person from the appliance company damaged a couple of kitchen cabinet doors last weekend (over 1 year after the renovation). I contacted Zee, wasn't expecting him to remember me or reply until at least the following monday. He not only replied within the hour, he took care of the issue by ordering replacements for us! I highly recommend Zee for your renovation projects.

I worked with Zee Akber. He was great. We didn't know anything about kitchen remodeling and we redid our kitchen. Zee made the process go smoothly. He walked us through all the options and gave us good advice. The work quality was great and we are very happy with out kitchen. He was extremely courteous and responsive.

We used Manhattan Cabinets originally because, having decided on Kraftmaid cabinets, I was uneasy using Home Depot for kitchen planning. I did not find that Manhattan Cabinets was significantly more expensive than Home Depot. I felt I had more confidence in Manhattan Cabinets' price quote and in their design. We have a quirky townhouse in Park Slope Brooklyn and I wanted a company with the skill to deal with the inherent challenges. There were design challenges as well as physical challenges as I was dropping a new kitchen into an existing somewhat eclectic Victorian meets midcentury fully open first floor. To make it harder, colors had to be harmonized with distinctive yellow red and green stained glass windows without making it look like Christmas 1985. As I had hoped, Zee Akber and his colleagues steered me through the project perfectly. They are everything you want in a designer: insightful, helpful, skilled, and understanding of your needs and preferences, and reassuring when you get nervous. I followed most of their recommendations and all the recommendations were GOOD. I am sure they do a lot of high end Manhattan work but I never felt like I was being upsold or condescended to for my decidedly middle market project. Pictures to follow when counters done. So watch this space.

The overall quality of the work done to repair water damage to our bathroom was excellent. More importantly, they were a pleasure to deal with, and when a few issues arose during the project they were addressed promptly, correctly and with good will.

Manhattan Cabinets' kitchen renovation in our studio pied-a-terre on Manhattan's Upper East Side exceeded our expectations We wanted to maximize our small, drab kitchen with new appliances and a more spacious counter, cabinets and drawers, as well as lighten its 1960's post-war appearance so that the area became both inviting and functional. Zee Akber, MC's owner, impressed us an honest, courteous, and patient person who really listened to what we envisioned, and to specific questions we raised along the way. He sized up the job's limitations (the basic configuration could not be altered because of the building's structural elements) and presented us with a proposal that was well thought through and competitively priced by New York standards. Zee advised us to go for clean lines with simple but elegant details. He pointed out safety features for the new floor that we had not considered. After gutting the kitchen, MC replaced all the electrical and plumbing work first. No surprise expenses beyond the original estimate. The entire job was executed neatly and in a timely fashion. Zee e-maied us photos periodically and kept in touch as the work progressed. Seeing the new, finished kitchen for ourselves and using it was the best part. If you visit Manhattan Cabinets' attractive new showroom at Second Avenue and 71st Street, and meet Zee Akber and his professional staff, you will understand what we are talking about - a real find!

Zee, Juan, and Marco provided excellent service. They constructed new kitchen cabinets and agreed to reface some of our complicated kitchen cabinets. We requested different wood and laminate products that required more effort on their part. This was a difficult job and they were honest, thorough, and a pleasure to work with...

I so enjoyed working with Jerry and Zee in buying my cabinets. Zee's design ideas and measurements were spot on and I feel like I made a new friend with Jerry. Neither are hard sells and both honest and patient. They have a beautiful new showroom with plenty of options to choose from. And they worked well with my contractor.
February 12, 2016
Jerry and Zee were tremendously helpful in helping me renovate my kitchen and bathrooms. They spent a lot of time with me in the planning phase with design, picking out the types of cabinets I wanted, giving honest and unbiased recommendations when it came to places to purchase everything I needed, choosing vendors who were the right ones for the job, selecting appliances, sinks, mirrors, everything..., working with vendors to resolve issues, and getting the project done and producing a beautiful finished product.
They were a valuable fountain of information for my project. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work, for being available to answer my questions and visiting stores and vendors with me, for working so well with vendors and my contractor, for their spot on recommendations and suggestions, for treating my project as if it were their own and for getting everything delivered on time and on budget.
Jerry and Zee are complete professionals who cared deeply about my project and drew on their deep and extensive experience to do an amazing job. They asked the right questions and understood my tastes and preferences. I highly recommend them to everyone.

I am thrilled with my new home thanking Manhattan Cabinets for their excellent craftsmanship and quality products. This was my second kitchen renovation(in another apt.) my first bathrooms renovated and carpentry work with Manhattan Cabinets. My project was completed within budget and very close to the actual time frame. The delay being caused by a supplier and additional work I requested.
From beginning to end I was guided by a design associate/project manager (Steven Haas) and contractor (Z) with vast knowledge and ability to help me make the right decisions. Their on site visits were numerous. And importantly the quality of workmanship by the people employed by Manhattan Cabinets was excellent.

We worked with Manhattan Cabinets (MC) to renovate two bathrooms in our co-op apartment. MC (with Steve Haas as contractor) did an excellent job throughout the process -- from reviewing the quote and project scope with us through to completing the final punch list items. Despite a very tight timeline on our end, Steve and the team at MC worked with us every step of the way to meet our needs and expectations. They kept us informed throughout and were great at answering all our of questions and responding to any requests during the project. Based on our experience, it was clear that they really care that the client is happy with the finished product and will work to meet your requirements -- including providing thoughtful guidance throughout the project and ensuring that all requests are handled in a timely manner and to a great standard. In the few instances where we wanted something reworked or touched up, they were incredibly responsive, and we are very happy with the final product. Steve was a pleasure to work with throughout the project, the team on site was courteous and supportive, the tile work is excellent and the finished bathrooms look great. I would recommend MC to anyone that is looking for a contractor.

Zee and Manhattan Cabinets were super helpful when we moved in to our apartment and realized that the microwave was too low to cook on the stove top. They were able to match the wood to the original cabinets in a timely fashion to complete the look of our apartment. They were attentive and very professional. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

It is rare to find people in the industry that you can truly trust, that deliver what they promise and feel responsible for the result of their product. The owners of Manhattan Cabinets are those kind of people. Both, Zaheer and Jerry have been amazing partners in the process of a recent renovation project. Whenever problems arose, mostly due to the "high end" contractor, they immediately jumped in and offered solutions, were flexible and generous with their advice as well as their services. We hope to work with Manhattan Cabinets again on many more projects and highly recommend them.

My wife and I were renovating the kitchen in our NYC apartment and had become frustrated with the company we had initially chosen. After contacting Manhattan Cabinets the experience was like night and day. We got the most expeditious and personalized service we could imagine, the price was very reasonable, and every aspect of the design and delivery was carefully overseen by our project manager Steve Haas. He anticipated things we would never have thought of, developed just the design we wanted, and ensured that our cabinets were delivered quickly. He personally came to our apartment to supervise the delivery and ensure that everything was as per his design. We are very happy with the project which is now finished.
This company prides itself in its reputation and has certainly earned our wholehearted recommendation.

Recently had a complete renovation of sons tiny bathroom in Nyc rental apartment done
Needed to do within one month time frame and found Manhattan cabinet Company and was totally delighted with the work given the extreme limitations of the space and the old building
Jerry was a delight to work with as was Zee and was completely satisfied and thrilled with results
They gave my son a bright clean modern functional bathroom and did it within 5 weeks from start to finish
While the price was certainly not inexpensive
I think it was priced in the midrange of what I had researched for a complete bathroom renovation limited by the tiny tiny space
Overall beautiful job well done

From start to finish, Manhattan Cabinets was professional, respectful, resourceful and creative. We couldn't have been happier. The combination of design sensibility along with hands on project management was really the secret ingredient here -- along with a very professional and caring execution crew. Having worked with other contractors before, there was no comparison. Manhattan Cabinets truly puts the customer first. We were very satisfied with our rennovation project and would highly recommend them!

I've been working with Zee on new kitchen cabinets, after meeting with more than five other vendors throughout the city and in NJ. Price was competitive, but as important to me was the service-- Zee's patience, his willingness to meet and review design options as much as I needed and at the level of specificity that I wanted, and his attention to detail on my order set Manhattan Cabinets apart from the rest, and won my business. By comparison, the other vendors either insisted that I use their installation people (I already had a GC who would install); they were cautious about sharing the details of the cabinet layout; or prices seemed wildly high and were quite variable. As a result, buying cabinets for my GC to install was arguably the most difficult part of my entire reno. But Manhattan Cabinets/Zee has made this process smooth and as easy as it could be. In this vein, my order is in, and another vendor might very well be done with me at this stage in the process. But Zee continues to answer my Qs and he is standing by to make sure the order comes in correctly, offering me guidance on my GC's install for when the order comes in. Highly, highly recommended.

I've used Manhattan Cabinets in recent years. I have always been delighted, and must admit, surprised at the prompt response to my calls and/or emails. Most contractors don't respond so promptly and, most importantly, do not consistently which is of the highest quality. In addition, the staff is just wonderful. I've never had anyone working in my apartment who was not professional, on time, pleasant and clearly proud of the work they do. I can recommend this company very highly.

The team at Manhattan Cabinets repaired my master bathroom in my NYC coop apt. They had to assist in the diagnosis of the leak and replace the shower floor and walls with tile. The team was fantastic. The Manager of the job and the workers were knowledgable, managed the job timely, set and met expectations throughout the job and coordinated with other workers, (e.g. plumber, glass company, building Super, etc) in a manner that made everything run smoothly. When work was being done, the apartment was always protected, neat and clean when they left. It was a pleasure to do business with such a highly professional team. I highly recommend them.

When renovating my kitchen I was told that I needed to go to Manhattan Cabinets since their product and services are unparalleled. I did as instructed and had my consultation where I picked all my materials, styles and before I knew it they were working with my contractor installing my beautiful new kitchen. They made wonderful suggestions based on my needs that I didn't even know I wanted. They also ordered my appliances for me. Every time I walk into my kitchen it makes me smile and I know it's added so much to the value of my home.

Manhattan Cabinets have been wonderful professionals in our recent bathroom remodeling. It has been very refreshing to be able to tell Zee what kind of bathroom we wanted and for him and his team to take care of every aspect of the remodeling from taking out the old vanities, ripping out the old tile and base layer, waterproofing and sealing the floor, and laying the new tile. Through every part of the process we have been kept updated by the team. In fact, Zee has responded to my texts whenever I have sent them. The team has cleaned up after themselves as well and I really feel that we have been treated like family instead of a customer. I would not hesitate to use this company again.

We were very pleased with all interactions and work performed by Zee and his team. They came highly recommended - we saw the wonderful work they did on a previous reno - and lived up to the recommendation even though our job was small. He and Jerry were courteous, reliable, and professional. He was straightforward about timing and availability, which was important, given that they are not a huge operation. The work was very well done within the expected time and the place was super-clean afterwards. Prices weren't cheap, but I'll be coming back - at least for bids - due to the quality of the work and interactions.

Manhattan Cabinets went out of their way to see that I got exactly what I wanted. They provided me with an almost dust free environment and cleared up at the end of every day so I could lead an almost normal life while the work was going on. The kitchen they made for me is perfect both in design and function and they spared no effort in finding the perfect equipment, materials, fixtures and finishes to make it so. The professionalism and goodwill of everyone working in my apartment gave me confidence that I would get exactly what I wanted. And I did. I am delighted with my new kitchen and do not hesitate to recommend Manhattan Cabinets whole-heartedly.

I initially went to MC to replace the floor cabinets in my kitchen and re-door the wall cabinets. Jerry was very helpful and knowledgeable, and I really appreciated that she took the time to have an intricate discussion with me as to what I was trying to accomplish, and made recommendations on cabinets that were reasonably priced and had the quality and characteristics I was looking for. I had originally had a much more expensive brand in mind because I had never bought cabinets before, and many sellers would try to convince me to buy a high end brand or at least wouldn't try to talk me out of my original uninformed decision. I really felt that Jerry and Zee were sincere and trustworthy, so I decided to have MC do my bathroom renovation as well - replacing wall and floor tiles, vanity, accessories, shower and sink. MC offered very good prices. I had obtained quotes from 2 other contractors and both were asking for more by about $2,000 and were not as communicative. They were very very supportive and responsive, and very helpful and patient when I had to deal with issues obtaining co-op board approval. Their foreman Craig is wonderful and also very responsive. He explained everything that was going to be done the day he arrived and was very informative. I had a small leak under the sink after the job was completed and paid for, and when I texted him he was at my apartment to address it the same afternoon. I can't say enough good things about Manhattan Cabinets and their staff. Everyone has a great work ethic and really takes pride in what they do and takes care of their customers.

From beginning to end, Zaheer "Zee" Akber was instrumental in ensuring our vision was developed and executed. He helped us design a solution in a limited/awkward space that is extremely functional while maintaining the aesthetic qualities we desired. Along the way his communication and personal attention was outstanding. Every step of the way Zee addressed all of our questions right away. And even after receiving final payment, Zee helped us track down small replacement hardware making sure the job was complete. It is with out hesitation that we recommend Zee and hope we have an opportunity to work with him again!

After meeting with several contractors, Zee and Jerry were a breath of fresh air. They are consummate and confident professionals. We met with Jerry first who would help us design our new kitchen space. She offered great ideas and has a beautiful eye. Overwhelmed by all the options, Jerry would meet with me and then email me different appliance and accessory options. Zee measured the space and oversaw the work. We had a sharp deadline to meet, and in typical NY coop fashion, we were delayed getting board approval. Zee and Jerry kept us relaxed and ensured the project would get done on time. They work quickly and efficiently. Renovation is stressful - working with honest and trustworthy professionals is of huge importance. Zee and Jerry are good people and talented at what they do.

If you are getting KraftMaid cabinets go to Manhattan Cabinets! My contractor recommended KraftMaid Cabinets for our new kitchen. First, we went to Home Depot to speak with a "designer" and were less than confident when we left. Thank goodness I found Manhattan Cabinets who are authorized KraftMaid dealers. From the first contact (I emailed them and Zee followed up with a phone call), we had a great experience. There were no hard sell or persuasion tactics--only great old fashioned SERVICE!. Zee and Jerry listened to us when we told them about our vision, space, budget and how we use our kitchen. After helping us design the kitchen, Zee came to our renovation space and did the measurements himself. He created 20-20 drawings and worked closely with us as we made changes and refined them. When we had to keep rescheduling the cabinet delivery due to construction delays, Zee and Jerry handled it for us. There was never any problem. It was a great experience. They are professional, experienced, patient and generous with their knowledge and time. They also served as unofficial therapists for us because our renovation turned into one of those New York City nightmare stories. Manhattan Cabinets was the only bright spot (translation: professional, honest and humane) in our renovation. Besides being totally professional, they are filled with compassion and good cheer. We love Manhattan Cabinets! Hire them!

We had a very good experience working with Manhattan Cabinets. We hired them to renovate the kitchen and bathroom in our co-op in Jackson Heights and they worked with us to make the best choices for our space. Throughout the renovation, Zee, Jerry, and the project manager, Craig, were accessible, communicative, and easy to work with. When I relayed to people how long they told me the project would take, they suggested I double it. However, the team was done right on schedule--a small miracle for renovations, we are told! The finished product is beautiful. The two new rooms changed the entire unit for the better. We are incredibly happy with our new and improved home. Overall, the team at Manhattan Cabinets went above and beyond for us and we would happily recommend them.

I chose Manhattan Cabinets to help me remodel my 70 year old NYC bathroom because Jerry assured me that during this renovation, it was her bathroom too. She also assisted me in choosing the tile, vanity, plumbing fixtures, medicine cabinet and shower doors. I met the various craftsmen and they all took pride in their work and it showed… it was all top shelf work. Manhattan Cabinets transformed my bathroom into a sophisticated spa like design, which is exactly what I wanted! I am forever receiving compliments.

I knew right away that Zee, the owner, was a very detailed professional. If any problems ever arose, he was there immediately to fix it. His sunny disposition and good nature is also echoed throughout his workforce; his employees have the same care for their work. An accountant before he became a contractor, he meticulously carries out a job, where other contractors would probably cut corners.

Manhattan cabinets were a pleasure to deal with. Their kitchen design and workmanship were first rate. Additionally, they can be a one stop shopping experience if you want. If you only want cabinets and design they are fine with that. The estimate they gave me at the beginning was right on even if though I didn't purchase everything from them. They were always willing to give me advice and point me in the right direction. Ultimately, I ended up ordering a lot of the extras such as handles, under cabinet lights etc. from them as their prices were competitive and there was no hassle. They were never too busy to listen to me and answer questions no matter how stupid they were. Their schedule was realistic and they finished on time. I highly recommend them

I am extremely pleased with my kitchen designed by Manhattan Cabinets, Inc. in my newly renovated apartment. I received excellent advice on designing my kitchen and in choosing the cabinet types and kind of wood to use as well as in proper placement of my appliances. The service I received was professional and responsible and the designer was always patient and responsive to my needs. He was very experienced in creating computer images of proposed kitchen ideas and always made good suggestions which prevented me from making mistakes in placement and size of cabinets. The designer was available to meet with me as many times as I needed in order to help me make my decisions. He gave me the the type of support I needed in order to feel comfortable with my choices while making such a major investment in my apartment.
