United Elite Group

UEG is an outstanding GC and I recommend them to anyone who will listen. They helped us transform an extremely dated pre-war coop into a breathtaking home worthy of architectural digest. They are highly skilled artisans with extreme attention to detail and real pride in workmanship. They are perfectionists and your reno will show from it. Tolib, Sherzod and Umed are very responsive and client-oriented and a pleasure to work with. Having said all of that, I am just an amateur who has only done this one project, so you should take it from the super of our building who used to have a GC company and who currently has a close friend who has he previously recommended to work on apartments in our building. However, after see UEG and how they work and operate, he now recommends them to the residents in our building whenever someone asks, instead of his personal connection. They are THAT amazing!

United Elite Group is by far the best contracting company we have ever worked with. We have worked with three other companies in renovating previous apartments, and we now know what we were missing. United Elite Group is a team of highly talented professionals, whose #1 goal is to make their clients happy. Tolib, the owner, and Umed the onsite manager of our project, are perfectionists. They have the highest standards and will not compromise. Our project in our pre-war building was complicated: with old plumbing, old electrical, and flooring needing to be completely replaced. In the gut renovation of the two bathrooms, for example, we were faced with countless, unanticipated problems. But Tolib and Umed immediately found solutions to these issues, while losing no time in our tight work schedule. Our weekly meetings were on time and productive; and Tolib was always available for any questions, day and night. Their advice, their work ethic, and our beautifully renovated apartment made this a fantastic experience. We give United Elite our highest recommendation and look forward to working with them again.

As the final touches are made on the gut renovation of my Central Park West pre-war apartment, I am amazed not only at the beauty and quality of the work done by United Elite Group (UEG), but also by the degree of trust and confidence I was able to have in their work and their staff throughout the project. One hears stories about shoddy work and a rotating cast of contractors. Never with Tolib and United Elite Group. Never. Not once. UEG has standards higher than your own, a demand for excellence of every worker on the job, an attention to detail that is ever present and exemplary, a high degree of experience that allows them to anticipate issues and offer solutions, and an ability to communicate clearly, thoughtfully, and helpfully with the home-owner, even a renovations newcomer like me. And they stay on schedule! In fact, ahead of schedule! Tolib and his responsible, reliable, talented team – each of them so good at what they do, and all of them very lovely people too -- took my run-down, 100-year-old apartment and brought it back to life. Their work brought back the elegant elements of the place (high ceilings, molding details), upgraded and improved all that was so worn out (floors, walls, electric etc), and transformed it into a home to be proud of, a place that will be both soothing to come home to at the end of a long work day, and also a fun home to gather friends and family for holiday. My advice to any person planning a renovation is to get UEG as your contractor. But act fast. At least three of my neighbors and the same number of my colleagues are asking for their number! Renovations are demanding. Apartment renovations even more so. Do yourself a favor, don’t go into this without UEG on your team.

I can't say enough about these guys except that they probably need to charge more for their services. Great timing, outstanding service and amazing quality of work. If you are looking for someone to build your home or renovate an apartment, stop now and give United Elite Group a call.

Tolib and his crew were all very professional and hard working. His team did an outstanding job to renovate my apartment. Tolib was extremely helpful in assisting us in selecting paint colors, tiles, etc. We would hire his team again if we decide to add on to our current home.

I give United Elite Group my highest recommendation. They have the finest finish carpenters and the finest artisan finish plasterer I have ever encountered or worked with. Stephen R. Connors Architect StephenRConnorsArchitect.com

I can be quite annoying when it comes to choosing the construction company for my next project. My total experience with United Elite Group was so extraordinary positive, that I don’t know how to even start to describe it. First of all, every question that I had in a beginning was being answered meticulously with extreme attention to every small detail. Second of all, as the project was advancing, I did not nave to ask any more questions - every question I had was addressed / answered before I even had a chance to ask it. And finally, what stroke the most while working with UEG is their constant desire to understand your ideas and to transform them into beautiful reality. I am truly grateful guys! Thanks for everything that you did for me! It was a tremendous pleasure working with you!

As a designer and project manager, I interviewed and hired Tolib of United Elite Group for a gut renovation on behalf of the client. Tolib and his entire crew performed meticulous quality work not only on time but on budget. During the course of the project, Tolib always had terrific, thoughtful solutions and proved to be a fantastic collaborator. Post construction customer service has been top-notch. Tolib and his team were such a pleasure to work with that I hired them for subsequent renovation projects where they continue their amazing work. I highly recommend them to anyone who insists on high quality work and professionalism.

Excellent workmanship - folks who are proud of their product and will always follow up Very professional, the site is cleaned everyday, workers wear uniforms Very respectful to building staff and super. Type of hassle you don't need to deal with in your renovations especially in co-op buildings Very fair pricing for the quality of work. Highly recommend and will use again on another project without hesitation

We completed a renovation of a classic six apartment on the Upper West Side in a Rosario Candela building. The apartment was not in the best of shape with many layers of paint on walls and doors, and flooring with no refinishing potential. The walls needed to be skim-coated, the floors replaced, and the metal doors and jams had to be restored to the original condition. We were very happy with our general contractor United Elite Group and their staff. They carried out the construction with care; they were diligent and came every day. Any surprises with the construction were taken in stride and completed without hassle. We have a beautiful apartment with exceptional floors, cabinetry, millwork and restoration of the original moldings and other pre-war details. I highlight their careful craftsmanship and attention to detail. They were professional, reliable, and unfailingly courteous. They cleaned up the job and overflow areas every night and abided by the building rules. They were helpful to the resident manager of the building, so much so, that he recommends them to others. I recommend them without hesitation and would absolutely hire them again.

We used UEG to renovate a 1800 square foot apartment in Flatiron. They undertook all aspects of our project except for kitchen installation -- we used a separate company recommended by the kitchen design company for kitchen installation, but UEG also install kitchens (and in fact they have their own line of kitchens that I understand are competitively priced). Their price was very fair and we are very happy with the work they did. In particular the elements where they are very skilled include tile work, floor refinishing (our refinished original ash floorboards are simply stunning -- they patched several areas where the floors were damaged and you can't even tell where the repairs were done), soffits, plumbing, plaster work, painting, closet door installation (and their edge banding on some of the doors to minimize gaps was very well done), all electrical work. The team was led by Tolib who is very decent and fair-minded and easy to work with. Our apartment has a modern style but they can work with any style you prefer and are very knowledgeable on all different aesthetics. Their price was fair and there were several instances when we added or changed things but they accommodated the extra work without added charges. If you are looking for good work, at a fair price and a team of people that are easy to work with, you should strongly consider UEG for your renovation.

I just completed a total gut renovation of a large apartment on the Upper East Side and could not have asked for better contractor professionals than United Elite Group. They led the renovation while I was away from New York and the result is a beautiful apartment with exceptional cabinetry, millwork and tilework. Aside from the gorgeous craftsmanship, they were unfailingly polite, responsive, professional, reliable, eager to please and helpful to my HVAC and home automation contractors. I recommend them without question and would absolutely hire them again.
