Monk's Home Improvements

Monk’s repaired and replaced damaged shower floor, tile, wood framing, shower pan, drain, insulation, and added water-proofing system and marble slabs for glass. John at Monk’s was super responsive always getting back to me in a timely manner. He also stayed on top of our project to see that it started in a very reasonable timeframe. All of the work took 4 days to complete and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. The shower looks so much better than it did when it was first installed. I would highly recommend Monk’s for any home improvement job.

We've worked with John Mangiafreno at Monks twice for our kitchen and bathroom remodel. John and his team (Gido, Gio, Johnny) are extremely professionally, efficient, and talented. The job site is swept clean after every day and they take care of your house as of its their own. John is always accessible for any question or concern you might have. Throughout the project John is open and transparent when he sets realistic expectations, that he always exceeds.

We were very pleased with the entire process from the estimate to execution. Ward was very helpful developing the scope to the work, and advising us what they could do and what could be done by others. Gerald, the head of the crew, and his workers were also very good executing the work and paying attention to details. Overall a very satisfactory experience.

I've used Monk's on 3 occasions for wall repairs, interior painting, deck staining, house power-washing, and deck repairs. I was absolutely pleased with their work. Not only did they do an excellent job, but they showed up on time and finished on schedule. I highly recommend Monk's and I plan on using them again.

I have owned homes for over 40 years. Monk’s is by far the best contractor I’ve ever engaged.

We engaged with Ward from Monk's for our kitchen cabinet surfacing and floor polishing project. It went very well and I was very satisfactory about the quality.

Monk’s was an excellent company to work with when having the exterior trim painted on our house. Ward was extremely professional, easy to work with, and the job was done quickly, with no issues at all. I was especially appreciative of their great communication, as so many other painting companies simply did not call us back or show up. This was never an issue with Monks! We will definitely use them again in the future!!

Work was started and completed as scheduled. Workmanship was excellent and the team of workers were professional and polite. I used them for several projects over the years. I would highly recommend Monk's.

Ward Malnak, with Monk, completed the installation of attic stairs for me. I was given a quote for the job and it was completed in a timely manner. The stairs were awkward to do because of the age of the home; 140 years old. They also repaired, at a separate time, the replacement of a wood panel on the rear of the house and reinforcing brackets for the porch steps. I would recommend this company and Ward to do any individual who wants quality and qualified workers who follow through from quotes, repairs to clean-up.

Absolute nightmare. Single worst contractor experience ever. Ordered new custom windows and french doors. Nothing came in as ordered. Installation was shoddy with paint left on the glass and hardware missing. Installation crew even painted plastic moldings which wer never supposed to be painted and improperly installed window moldings. Custom woodwork (moldings) looked like it was done by a 12 year old in woodshop. Months later we are still without proper hardware. Installation crew did not follow proper COVID protocols. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.

When choosing to repaint our home, I sought out Monks due to their outstanding reputation. They responded quickly, were professional throughout, friendly, priced fairly and restored the traditional beauty of our home. We have a colonial farmhouse that had been neglected and needed a transformation. From color choice to enhancing details and repairing damage, Monks helped every step of the way. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and truly enjoyed working with each of their professionals. Each of the workers were friendly, dependable and honest. The company is comprehensive and able to provide general contracting outside of the scope of traditional painters. The project was done in its entirety by Monks, which resulted in quick turn around and fair pricing. The quality of their work is superior and I would recommend them to everyone.

Our home is small and about 70 years old and came with many design challenges. It was also very challenging finding the right contractor. From the moment we walked into Monk's showroom, we knew we were in the right place. Mike designed us a beautiful kitchen and bath and Bruce provided us with great recommendations for windows and doors. They were very professional, courteous, patient, had great solutions and ideas. Jason was very helpful estimating the labor and came up suggestions that guided us in the right direction. When it came time to start construction, Nelson the project manager came to our home and explained everything they were going to do. He went above and beyond managing our project. He said it would take 4 weeks and to our amazement, it only took four weeks. Nelson's crew are excellent craftsmen. They did a beautiful job. The punch list was minimal and resolved by the last day. There were no hidden costs. There were minimal extras and the costs were agreed upon upfront. I would recommend Monk's to anyone. My only regret is I do not have more work to give them.
