Design-Build Contractors & Firms Near Huntington

“Project: Apartment Combination & Gut Renovation (150 W 79th St) Timeline: May 19th – Nov 14th We hired KBR Design & Build for a pretty massive undertaking—combining units into a single 1,200 SF home. If you've ever dealt with NYC co-ops or pre-war buildings, you know how stressful this can be, but Noam and Yosi have a really solid operation. The biggest thing for us was the peace of mind. KBR is a well-established company with an actual, permanently staffed office. Knowing that Eleena (Project Coordinator) was there during business hours to handle the logistics, and that we weren't just chasing a contractor on a cell phone, was huge. They’re clearly in this for the long haul. Our Project Manager, Will, was the one making it happen on the ground. He managed a very technical scope, including: Full MEP Overhaul: They didn't just move things around; they did a complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing update. This included a new multi-zone HVAC system, Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), two new electrical load centers with all new branch circuits, and all new sanitary piping in the cinder concrete slab. Complex Flooring: We did hardwood throughout the whole place, and they were diligent about the subfloor acoustic underlayment, which was a strict requirement for our building. Superintendent Coordination: Will was great at working with our building super to keep things moving and ensure we stayed in compliance with all site protections. Michelle also did a great job helping us bridge the design gap between the two units so the final result felt like one cohesive home. If you want a team that can handle the high-stakes technical side of a Manhattan combination without disappearing on you, hire this crew.”

“Marvin, Rene and the entire team at Clawson Architects knocks it out of the park EVERY time I work with them. I am a building materials retailer and every time I see a plan out of their office I breath a sigh of relief. The thorough, and I mean THOROUGH attention to detail in both design direction and product selection is second to none. Marvin's ability to consider every aspect from budget to execution is exemplary; it is a rare talent that can consider each and every part of your house - fully zoomed in too a door hardware or window sash detail, zoomed out all the way out to an entire facade. All design language, uber-modern contemporary, arts and crafts, tudor, victorian; they get fully respected and thoughtfully executed by this firm. When I get a set of plans from a contractor, and that big letter "C" is in the upper right corner, I know there is little thought or creative input needed on my end. Each plan set provides staggering detail and truly gives a sense of the end result. Marvin's attention during each project ensures it will come to fruition in totality and that no detail is overlooked. And to tour the end result is to step into a showpiece of the highest caliber, inspiration found around each corner. If given the opportunity to work with these fine folks, take it. I've not met a client of theirs who does not rave about the process or end result.”

“Gregory, and his team of experts show, not only their skills as craftsman, but are always punctual, respectful, and a pleasure to do business with. I'm impressed with their attention to details-details that I didn't notice, but Gregory spotted it, made me aware of it, and corrected it. I like that he personally supervises the job throughout the project and then thoroughly inspects the completed job after it is done, and before final payment is made. Gregory is not only a skilled craftsman, but is also polite and a gentleman. Rare qualities not usually found in a general contractor. If you have a kitchen, bath or another project you are planning, you should call Gregory at Done Right Remodeling, first, and speak to Gregory. You will be glad you did.”
