Aspiro Renovations LLC

A full gut renovation in Manhattan was a lot more to take on than I imagined. That said, Halina is the partner you want in this process. She was honest, fair, direct, helpful and thoughtful throughout the journey. Fun to work with too! Having a GC that runs your construction and can also help with interior design was amazing. Her attention to detail blew away any other contractor I interviewed. Halina and her team are very talented and hardworking. They are the only people I'd ever want to work with if I did this again. The quality of work Nikolai and his team completed even passed the review of close friends & family in the construction space (and they never like anyone else's work). I am thrilled with my finished apartment! Thank you to the whole Aspiro team for everything they did to make this as painless as possible.

for the past 6 weeks Aspiro Renovations have been renovating 2 bathrooms. renovations are always stressful but I am happy to say that Halina Hoffman with her professional knowledge, her experienced crew and her service attitude made renovation seem effortless. -work areas were properly separated from the living areas - we continued to live in the apartment so that was important -she has a very capable crew - both in their expertise and dedication to the job -in addition to their tasks for the bathrooms, Halina and also her crew took it upon themselves - in addition to their scope of work - to suggest ideas to improve other areas in the apartment -Halina was relentless in her follow-up until everything was to both her and my satisfaction. All this in Manhattan - difficult place to do renovations - and in the middle of the pandemic. I wholeheartedly recommend Aspire, Halina and her crew and am ready to go into more detail to anybody who so requires similar renovations.

I had a wonderful experience working with Halina and her team at Aspiro, and I feel lucky to have found them. My bathroom was in terrible shape, seemingly having gone decades without repairs, and in spite of that I put off renovating for a long time because the task seemed so daunting--a pre-war co-op, incredibly tiny space, and no time of my own to spare. At a certain point it became impossible to put the job off any longer. I found Halina somewhat by accident, but I was reassured by her past good reviews, and when she came to visit my place I stressed that my main priorities were 1) having everything done right and 2) maintaining good communication to minimize hassles. On both points I was really happy with the job Halina and her team did. Halina was always super responsive and kept me up to date on everything as the work progressed (I was living off site, on her advice), and she was heroic about dealing with my cranky building management. I wasn't so focused on choice of tiles, fixtures, etc., being pretty agnostic about design issues, but Halina's designer, Sammy, did a great job of guiding me through that aspect--the result is that I've got a space with a classic elegant look that I think harmonizes well with the historic character of the building while still being fully modern. Nicolas, who did most of the actual work, was very careful and considerate, and a gifted craftsman. To summarize, I am immensely grateful to Halina's team and recommend them with enthusiasm.

2.5 Bathroom Remodel Kitchen Remodel Aspiro Renovations was a true pleasure to work with, providing professional and artistic craftsmanship at a very reasonable price. I spoke with 6 or 7 contractors before, gratefully, finding Aspiro. Halina’s bid was markedly below the other companies. Bringing a sophisticated design sense, and allowing me to choose and order my own materials was a winning partnership that saved money further and created a beautiful end result. Additionally, it should be highlighted that working with a woman contractor brought novel benefits, like attention to detail, emphasis on candid communication to quickly address issues, and a warm collaborative spirit. There was no loss of skill as Halina and her crew are extremely knowledgeable in all areas of construction, engineering and in the trades necessary for renovations. I highly recommend Aspiro for any project big to small—amazing results, at a fair price, while staying sane!

It was a pleasure to work with Halina and the Aspiro team for my coop apartment renovation. She came highly recommended from one of my neighbors. Halina was responsive and listened to my requirements and ideas and took them to the next level with her expertise and eye for design. Aspiro takes everything into consideration like the space itself and what would look appropriate and modern while also keeping the character and style of an apartment in a prewar building into consideration. Halina recommended quality products while keeping within my budget. The bathroom and kitchen are beautiful and efficient. Additionally, although I was not living in the apartment at the time of the work, the team always left the apartment clean and organized after they left for the day. They took pride in all aspects of their work.

This is our second project with Aspiro, and we continue to be very satisfied. Their work is excellent. They kept to the expected schedule. They kept the noise, dirt, and disorder to an absolute minimum. We needed the work to be done before Thanksgiving, and it was!. We are delighted with the outcome - nicely restored woodwork in our old upper west side apartment, new lighting, and very helpful guidance on choosing finishes. We would gladly work with Aspiro on future projects.

I am so pleased with Aspiro Renovations. Led by Halina Hoffman, along with her team (Sammy, Marek, Alex), my bathroom project was easy for me. My small bathroom needed a complete renovation that was efficiently upgraded, with minimal effort on my part, and I received an outstanding final project. They quickly provided good design and construction ideas; effectively worked with the coop building rules; willingly revised design and work changes; all with high quality workmanship. They were on-site every day and maintained the areas during the work. I was impressed with their reliable responsiveness throughout the project. It was a pleasure to work with the professionals on this team. I hope to work with Aspiro again.

Halina was wonderful to deal with. Always attentive, available, honest and fair. All of the people I worked with on our project were Professional and great craftsman. I wish I had another project to do so that I could work with them again.

Aspiro Renovations, led by Halina Hofmann, did a beautiful job renovating our kitchen. I found Halina after having renovated a bathroom with a different contractor and I knew I was looking for someone who could provide more guidance on the design front. Halina and her designer helped me select and source everything in the kitchen, from cabinets to lighting to the backsplash. Her crew was very professional and Halina was very communicative and accessible throughout the process. We love our new kitchen!

Halina and her team especially Alex were a pleasure to work with, demonstrated excellence in customer service, and very competent in their trades. Quality was demonstrated in how they executed the work and kept things clean afterwards, the transparency of costs that assisted me in feeling confident about their integrity, and the positive responsiveness to concerns. My husband was diligent in overseeing ordering appliances where we had some bumps, so we worked as a team. She is a generous, lovely professional who will continue to succeed! Grateful she made the trek to do Roosevelt Island! I would highly recommend her.

Writing about Halina and Aspiro is a dilemma because we want to keep her all to our selves, but she is fantastic and deserves recognition as such. Over the past decade, we have renovated a 2 BR apartment in Manhattan, a house in Queens, and 4 medical offices. BY FAR, our experience with Halina has been the most positive and pleasant of all. Simply put: all construction projects have hiccups. However, Aspiro is knowledgeable regarding materials, conditions, and space design and their superior planning minimized the number and severity of such issues. Most importantly, Halina and Alex are a stand-up, quality people who acknowledge and eat the cost of the inevitable error/complication that may be theirs. They mean it when they say they take responsibility. (How rare is that?!?) That said, the planning and work product itself were outstanding, so there were no significant issues or surprise costs. Having had mostly dreadful experiences with GCs before (most are knuckleheads and knaves), we were willing pay more for premium quality and attention, and this is exactly what was delivered. Halina is a gem - now please don't steal her away so she can't do the future projects we have in mind!

I was lucky that a neighbor recommended Halina to me. I interviewed 3 contractors, including Aspiro and for me the choice was based upon Halina’s confident and friendly personality and her very professional proposal. The proposal detailed and priced every tiny task allowing us to make informed choices. Our project was combining apartments in a 90 year old building. Every time a wall was opened there was a surprise. In addition we added scope at every turn. Halina was patient and more than fair in pricing. The site manager was amazing. He could do plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting and wall paper. Really anything. In addition he was meticulous. The process was pretty arduous, bu there were no surprises in the pricing. Everything was well explained and made sense. Most importantly I could not be happier with the finished project! I would definitely use Aspiro again and would recommend them whole heartedly to anyone.
