In the years that I've served clients in the New York surrounding area, I've expanded my skill-set through trade school programs to include carpentry, plumbing, electrical and blueprint reading/analysis. From an emergency drain problem, clogged sink/toilet, to having your new refrigerator and lights installed or your whole apartment renovated, if you call us, we will provide you top-notch and friendly service.

Reviews
Overall a great experience. Stitch coterie missed our first appointment due to another job running late. I expected this from the reviews I read and opted to still use because I cared more about good work and luckily have a flexible schedule. When he arrived he quickly assessed that a special tool would be needed to drill through concrete to hang my chandelier. We rescheduled again and he promptly showed up and had the resources to get another tool when the one he brought didn't work. He was very professional and knew what he was doing, took his time and made sure the job was to our satisfaction. Our chandelier looks great and I would definitely use him again.
Overall 4.5 Stars and would recommend
My building insurance requirements had frustrated other small contractors from doing a bathroom renovation. Nick was the only person who persevered in getting a plumber and the appropriate insurance together to get the job done.
For reference, I had him install mainline shut off valves (done by a plumber he brought), install 2 vanities, 2 medicine cabinets, 2 toilets, 2 ceiling and 3 wall light fixtures, replace damaged dry wall, and paint.
He gave me a fair estimate (based on other quotes) and did not take any deposit until he was approved by the building. He was willing to put a COVID shutdown clause in the contract. While a cost adjustment was made at the end, it was appropriate.
Overall I felt like the work was done very well, everything looked clean and his team did a good job installing numerous shut off valves on the main plumbing lines. He was also flexible with us. Our new vanity and toilet were delivered broken which we had not checked prior to him starting the project. It delayed the project for a day, but he didn't give me a hard time about this which was very nice. We had a small issue with the medicine cabinet and he came back within a week to fix it at no additional charge.
My subtraction of a half star is that I wish he had been a little more punctual and organized. There was some confusion during the work, but this was partially my fault and everything work out in the end. In hindsight, no matter who you hire, you should sit down with the person at the start of the renovation, go over the plan, check in, and be available to deal with issues.
Overall Nick did a really nice job, I felt that the pricing was fair, and I would hire him again in the future.

He arrived promptly, was professional, kind and completed an exceptional job with ease. I highly recommend him and will be using him for my basement work.

I reached out to this company late at night to schedule an appointment about a clogged shower drain. Nick responded immediately and said he could come by the next day between 4:30 and 5pm. He showed up at 4:45pm and had a mask on per Covid guidelines. He was able to resolve the issue with my shower very quickly, and I'm happy to report that it works great now. If you are looking for a plumber who communicates well, shows up on time, and does excellent work for what I felt was a reasonable price, then do not hesitate to contact them!
Nicholas is so wonderful! So friendly and honest and speedy! I called him to help me install a washlet and he was so thorough! He came over quickly and promptly identified an issue with the plumbing while leaving me with a perfectly installed washlet and remote. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
I found Stitch Coterie via Yelp to install track lighting and re-grout our bathroom tile. Nick and his team went above and beyond to ensure we were excited about the final products. The team was very communicative with us, easy to work with, and charged very reasonable prices compared to other contractors we got quotes from. We are so appreciative for their work and will certainly reach out to them in the future for other work we need done in our apartment. Thank you Nick + team!

One of the few contractors that actively manages their messages through Yelp. Nick promptly responded and came over. He replaced the gas line to our dryer and helped me move the new dryer in and take the old one out. Really appreciated the immediate response and assistance in resolving my issue!

This company is amazing. First of all, their prices are fair. Second of all, they know how to do literally anything, from plumbing to electricity to construction. I just moved into a home and I had several things I needed help with... replacing a garage door, replacing a patio door, showers that were not running hot water, lights that were not turning on, mice popping out of random holes in the house. I called this company on a Saturday night, and Nick came out the next day to give a free estimate of the work requested. I had already had a plumber come out for the showers, that said there was nothing he could do about it, but Nick quickly recognized that the handles were not installed properly, and quickly fixed the issue. In total, with all the work, he came with various company members a total of about 5 times. The work was done with care, professionally, and he explained everything that was needed. They also took appropriate precautions, (masks, staying 6 week apart, minimal people) considering the COVID 19 precautions. Nick genuinely seemed like he cared about the work and doing it well, and they did an excellent job. I would highly recommend this company!
He was great. Very responsive and very accommodating to our schedule. We needed our faucet replaced and was without kitchen water for days. He did a great job and actually recommend him to others.

Thank you Stitch Coterie! Nick (the owner) responded to an emergency gas leak and fixed it right away. With that introduction, he and his team replaced our bathroom sink, sink base vanity, mirror and two bathroom lighting fixtures, one of which had to be rewired to a new wall outlet. Looks and works great!
He was very responsive - though very busy! Once he started the bathroom job, he stuck with it to the end - took about three days.
He and his team were so personable and truly excited by the transformation - and we are too!
One note of constructive feedback, he lost some small parts to our Ikea vanity - nothing major, and I'm grateful he was able to assemble and install four different Ikea items for us.
Thanks again to Nick and his team's excellent work!

Nicholas is the best! He helped me out with a major emergency. I had had a water tank installed badly and he came to the apartment quickly, assessed the damage and was able to install a new water heater immediately. He and his team were fast, efficient, and friendly. My apartment was left cleaner than before! I have had him help me out a few different times and I have always been so pleased. He is a gem.
After a disastrous experience with One Stop Handyman which could have resulted in an explosion, Nicholas from Stitch Coterie came to the rescue. He was quickly able to resolve a dangerous situation and efficiently got the gas stove working safely. He also connected a combination wall oven microwave. He is very knowledgeable and a lovely person to work with. I highly recommend his services.

Nick is the ultimate professional. Timely, very fair pricing, trustworthy, and does the highest level, professional quality work. Doesn't cut corners, does the job very detailed and very careful, and completes thoroughly no matter how long the job takes. Gets it done, and you end with an amazing finished product!

I hired him to replace 2 faucets in my apartment, one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. He showed up on time, was very professional and polite, provided impeccable service and installation. In addition, he was very price competitive versus the alternative providers I had contacted. I highly recommend him!
Nick is a fantastic contractor, handyman and overall a great guy. He is super efficient, kind, clean, timely, professional and offers a fair price.
Over the last few months he's one a number of jobs at my house and has done just a fantastic job.
1: He fixed leaking valves for 3 of my radiators and fixed cosmetic damage to my walls and ceilings.
2: Replaced a leaking gutter and installed a custom gutter with a downspout that points out to the street instead of the foundation of my property.
3. Completed a massive renovation job in my basement, replacing sheetwall, dryrock, installing cabinets, building a summer kitchen, renovating the bathroom and handling the entire job in just 5 days.
4. As I am NOT handy, he also built a ton of shelves for me around the house.
Nick is not only a consummate pro, but is also a great guy who I am happy to call one of my good friends. Could not recommend him highly enough.
Stitch Coterie and team replaced my entire shower faucet and my kitchen garbage disposal. The job looked seamless and flawless that I didn't recognized the work done. They're excellent and very professional with good work ethics that's unquestionable! I will always go to Stitch Coterie Inc and off course recommend them to anyone! Hands down, Nick is the man to go to!
Couldnt be happier with the work that Nick and his team did. Installed these Bromic heaters perfectly!

I discovered a sink pipe that was corroded and leaking in my kitchen. Yelp listed the top 10 plumbers in my neighborhood. I chose the ones that said they would give me a response in 10 minutes. Nicholas, from Stitch Coterie, answered w/in 5 minutes...and it was a Saturday. He came over w/in the hour and replaced the kitchen pipe and also fixed a slow drain in my bathroom sink. I was so grateful! He was extremely professional and courteous, showed up when he said he would, gave me his cell phone #, and was just a decent hard working man. Also does handyman work as well. I already recommended him to several people in my building.
This company is horrible.!!! My hot water heater stopped working they came out Monday evening took my $75 said they'll be back. And never returned.!! No one answers the phone and I have been calling since the man never returned still have no hot water and out of $75.!!! Can't believe a company would provide such crappy services.! Especially during these hard times I don't have money to waste and my family needs hot water. I would never use this trash ass company and don't recommend it. Knowing your African American is even worse too.!! It be your own people providing horrible services. You guys suck and don't need to be in no business want to take people money and go.!
HORRIBLE, DO NOT USE! Aside from being very late and getting the wrong materials two days in a row causing delays, Nick's employee CUT METAL IN MY APARTMENT WITH NO PROTECTION, CAUSING BURN MARKS! There are burn marks on my bathroom tiles that won't come out no matter what I try, so I just have to live with them or re-tile. At first Nick denied any wrongdoing and ghosted, then showed up to assess the damage and seemed to take responsibility (I had hope at that point of some professionalism!) but then disappeared and stopped responding again! WILL NEED TO GO TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT TO GET ANY COMPENSATION. Soooo yeah, stay away from this company!

Our kitchen sink pipe was leaking. I took some photos and sent them to Nicholas. He came to the rescue very quickly and replaced the pipes for which we were very grateful.
However, the pipe required a connection from the dishwasher. The connection wasn't perfectly sealed when the pipe was replaced. We realized there was a leak 2 months after the installation and contacted Nicholas. He came on the same day and fixed the problem. It's nice to know a service provider who is so responsive and will stand by his work.
They did Great work today at our apartment replacing an outlet. Masks were worn and the Job was done quickly!

Nick installed a ductless range hood in my kitchen. He is very professional and precise with all of his measurements/installation process. He even showed me how to replace the filters and takeout the lightbulbs, when they need to be changed. I will be working with Nick again.
Nicholas and his colleague did a good job.
We experienced a water leak in our basement ceiling. Water all over the floor, damaged ceilings, and damaged appliances.
Nick was incredibly professional in helping us through this process. Not only did he not try to pressure us or use scare tactics into using his services, he was incredibly patient with asking the right questions to best diagnose the issue.
Given that the plumbing in question was behind walls, he was transparent that he wouldn't be able to fully diagnose the issue until those were opened.
Nick ended up diagnosing and remediating the root issue and repairing our ceilings in a timely, professional manner. Highly recommended.
Nick did a great job with fixing many issues in my apartment. He painted, installed new toilets, moved outlets, fixed doors/windows/mirrors, and completed many other small things to make my apartment feel new again. He was reasonable and patient. I have recommended him to other residents in my building and will use him in the future.

Nick has such a positive and optimistic attitude and it made me, a frustrated and sensitive client, relieved. I was totally stressed out for my faucet and some other issues of my apartment that had a deadline to be fixed. Nick had to visit my apartment due to unforeseen issues, yet he never complained. Instead, he voluntarily offered an extra visit/work to make my work on time. He did finish the job done not only on time but also at a premium level of quality. Moreover, he offered a very reasonable price that I can realistically afford. Again, I do appreciate this positive attitude and communication skills.

Nick was very resourceful and helpful when I needed to replace the filter underneath the sink. He had immediate availability and was able to come in and fix the problem. He knew exactly what needed to be done. I will be contacting him again if I have anymore plumbing issues.
We needed Nick to arrive at the same time as a team from another appliance company, which was a nightmare to schedule with due to their incompetence. But thanks to Nick's communication and flexibility not only throughout the scheduling process but also on the day of the installation when the appliance team arrived much earlier than agreed on, we were able to make it happen. He also helped the team do a removal, which they were paid to do but couldn't. Thank you for saving the day, Nick!
Nick not only answered the phone immediately, he flew to the rescue within 20 minutes! And this was an emergency situation at the end of the day. Amazing.
But wait, there's more!
He fixed our boiler issue within minutes and even showed me some tips for future potential mishaps.
But wait, there's more!
He is the friendliest guy with the widest smile.
Safe to say his number has now been recorded in my phone and I will happily recommend him to anyone in need of plumbing repair.
Thanks, Nick!

Several years ago, I had a serious problem with my kitchen sink. Nick fixed it. This year I had several small problems that, if solved, would make my life a lot better. So I called Stitch Coterie hoping they had survived the pandemic. Thank goodness they survived. Nick and Howard came in and fixed the plumbing and electrical issues with expertise and skill. It took a couple of visits but they didn't stop work until I was happy with the results. They left the premises very clean and carted out the debris. I am very happy. They are wonderful and I will use them again.
Nick did a few things at my place including waterline installation, electric outlets rewiring, installed a ductless range hood ,and more.
Great work ethnics overall! Communication was crystal clear from the beginning. Job was completed to the exact specifications, with no shortcuts and no hidden charges. I am most appreciative of the fact that Nick and his team take safety very seriously, both from a COVID perspective and on the work itself.
Like others have said before, it is difficult to find a contractor that carries insurance, proper licensing, and willing to take on smaller jobs.
Highly recommend.
Nick did a great job coordinating with our co-op in Jackson Heights, Queens. The first day he came the super wasn't there to turn off the water so that Nick could do the work. Fortunately Nick came by the following day when the water could be turned off and he fixed the issue at an affordable price. We're pleased with the quality of the work and everything seems to be working great now. Thank you Nick and team!
I mean the best experience!!!! I tried the message option on yelp and answered some quick questions about my plumbing issue and Nicholas replied right back to me. We scheduled an appointment for the afternoon. He was on time professional friendly and discreet (for my doorman building) he got right to the problem and before I knew it he had solved all my issues with plumbing and even fix another reoccurring issue!
I highly recommend and will be calling Nicholas anytime I need plumbing or handy man services

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Nick and all his staff at Stitch Coterie for their beautiful renovation of my kitchen and living room. They transformed my Manhattan condo into my dream apartment and even exceeded my wishes. They removed my dated popcorn ceiling and gave me a clean, modern finish, painted all the walls, doors and trim, changed my kitchen lights to modern, gorgeous, glass pendant and ceiling lights, changed the backsplash and gave me a new, hands-free kitchen faucet. Best of all, Nick is such a pleasure to work with. Very kind, accommodating, knowledgeable and never said no to any of my requests. Highly recommend.
Nick was professional, responsive, and had transparent pricing. His team did a great job installing a chandelier in a hard-to-reach space. I'll definitely be hiring him next time I need work!
If you're looking for a competent, punctual, trustworthy, reasonably priced plumber and all-round nice guy, Nick at Stitch Coterie is the man to call.
I needed my new gas range installed, and I'd asked for an estimate from a large company masquerading under a personal name. They sent a barely competent supervisor round to look at the job, then gave me a ridiculously high price and lied to me about City requirements.
When I called Nick, he was available to do the job almost immediately, but first we had to negotiate the building management's demands for a certificate of insurance; that done, Nick came by a few days later and installed my range in less than an hour, with no fuss or bother, for 20% of the big company's estimate. He even supplied the flexible connector for free. I'm so glad I found him and didn't go with the first plumber I called. I know he does other kinds of work besides plumbing, so I'm planning to hire him again in a few weeks to fix a couple of closet doors, lay some floor tiles, and put up wallpaper.
Nick is terrific! He responded immediately on Yelp to my request with a price estimate, and then came same day to make a repair. He is very friendly and resolved the issue perfectly and quickly! Would recommend!

My kitchen sink was clogged and Nick and his team came over to help. What we thought would've been a simple unclogging turned out to be a bigger problem with the main lines in my apartment building. Nick and his team were thorough and dedicated to job. They helped diagnose the problem and worked with my super and building management to figure out the main issue. Nick also figured out one of my pipes was rusting and helped me replace it for a reasonable price for materials and service. I definitely recommend Nick and his team for any job since you can count on them to be reliable and thorough.
I have really high ceilings (16 feet) and I needed a professional to hang a large light fixture for me. I called half a dozen electricians in Brooklyn and no one could help me because my ceilings are double height.
I'm so lucky that I found Nick at Stitch Coterie. He and his partner have a real good energy and warm presence that makes you feel like you're in good hands from the beginning. They were on time and were very responsive when scheduling.
These guys are real pros and they made sure to be extra careful bringing in their big ladders and hanging my Noguchi 120a ceiling light fixture. These are delicate paper lights with a 4 foot diameter and I was so relieved when they not only installed it perfectly, but came in and left without making any marks on the walls or wood flooring. I am a super detail oriented person and they matched my attention to detail. Thank you Nick!
Highly recommended.
I requested Nick to tighten my faucet and faucet handle as it was very loose. I couldn't do it because I didn't have a big wrench. I chatted with Nick and he gave me a good quote so I asked him to come by. He scheduled right away, came by to do the work quickly and kept his word on the rate despite it was not the easiest job. I am very happy for his service - very reliable guy Nick is. I will definitely request his service again.

Stitch Coterie is really superb -- professional, multi-talented, responsive and gracious. I found them through a basic web search when I urgently needed someone to install a Bosch dishwasher and remove a broken one. Not only did the owner Nick respond to my outreach within a few hours, he was at my apartment a few days later. When a new outlet needed to unexpectedly be installed, he did it immediately and explained everything to me in detail. He has since repaired my HVAC system and I have asked him for estimates on additional work. His prices are more than fair, and his ability to pivot seamlessly from plumbing to electrical to HVAC and beyond makes Stitch Coterie an ideal solution for a host of different needs.
Nick and his team remodeled my garage and it came out perfect. They took a hoarder's paradise and turned it into something I would be excited to show friends and family (and trust me, I have.)
The crew were very friendly and were always there to answer the millions of questions that I had. The craftsmanship is top notch and speed in which they completed the project was impressive. The only hiccup was the replacement side door (I wanted a door that opened outwards, but didn't want to worry about hitting the car when I opened it.) That was totally a supply issue, but Nick was able to get the door situtation all settled and it works like a charm.
Since they finished the job, I added a few of my own touches, but none of that could've happened without the team at Stitch Coterie.
All I can say is, its like an apartment now! I guess I have a place to stay if my wife kicks me out of the house.

Great company - would recommend.
I needed an over the range microwave replacing in the apartment. I tried two other companies before but neither of them were able to fix it. Next I tried Stitch Coterie and they were great. They were able to provide the COI and handle insurance and covid precaution requirements for the building. They successfully replaced the over the range microwave.
We also had a leaking sink which had been causing problems for a while. They came and realized we needed a different part to what we thought to fix it. So they went out and bought it and came back and fixed the issue. Great service. The entire piping under the sink was replaced as well as the drain and strainer.
We also had an old faulty light in the bathroom that needed to be replaced. They took care of this with no problems and installed a nice new one.
Overall I would recommend. They are also responsive over email so easy to book with.
Nicholas was professional and installed my new kitchen faucet perfectly. I would hire him again!
I hired Nicholas late last summer after closing on my new place to re-do my bathroom, paint my apartment, install a new thermostat and install a new light fixture in my laundry room. The very first question that I asked Nicholas was whether or not he knew how to install cement tiles which are very different from ceramic or porcelain. He enthusiastically said he had done it many times before and that it wouldn't take him long to do. Fast forward 4 months later and the damage they did is still unbelievable to imagine, I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone.
I'll start with the thermostat: Nicholas installed a Nest thermostat and when I turned on the A/C during a heatwave, heat came blasting out of my vents making me almost pass out. I asked Nicholas what was wrong with it, he said Maybe the A/C was never working. I couldn't breathe and called every single HVAC company I could to find someone to come over and fix it immediately. After paying another professional $1,000 to fix it he told me Someone mixed up your heating and cooling elements. I let this go because I just wanted them to get the work done. While I was doing my laundry, I noticed that only boiling hot water was coming out the washing machine. I asked Nicholas if he did anything to my machine while he was painting the laundry room, he said No, maybe the cold water was never running in the machine despite the fact that I had been using it for 2 months without any issue until he went in there. The repairman said that Someone mixed up the hot and cold water hoses. Notice a pattern here?
I let the thermostat and washing machine go because I was trying to be nice and give them a chance. I noticed that one of the bulb covers of my new light fixture was broken, I asked Nicholas what happened to it he told me Maybe it arrived that way. I had inspected the fixture for damage when it arrived and knew he was lying, when I asked him about it he said it broke while he was trying to install it. Fine, I'm not petty, I let yet another thing go.
Nicholas had never been so responsive as he was when he kept texting and calling me begging for an advance. He said his taxes were messed up and the IRS took all of his money and kept begging and begging and I felt bad for the guy and gave in. One advance became 3 more instances of begging for additional advances and suddenly I had paid all of the work in full before anything was completed. What a complete and utter mistake that was.
The grand finale is the disaster they did to my bathroom. Nicholas has posted some long shots of my bathroom as an example of his work, take a look at the condition that he left my tile in and decide for yourself if this is a company you want to hire. I have tried hundreds of dollars of cleaning products but nothing will get rid of the ruined grout that they let seep into the porous cement tile. I had even gone so far as printing out installation instructions for his team which clearly they did not read. I called the tile company and asked if they could recommend a way to fix ruined grout, the tiling team said they had never heard of this happening before, everyone reads the instructions and seals the tile before grouting which Nicholas' team did NOT do.
To add more insult to injury, one of his workers took my brand new Dyson vacuum out of it's box and used it to clean up their construction debris caking the bristles in grime, cement and ruining the filter and engine. His team also left me a present of a cement caked formerly brand-new stepladder. Nicholas told me to total up the cost of the damages because he wanted to Make things right. He wanted to make things right until he saw what the cost of damages they did were then I never heard a single peep from him ever again. I have tried reaching out to him multiple times to reconcile this and never heard a word back. Does this sound like a satisfaction guarantee? This was the sloppiest, most unprofessional experience I have ever had with anyone doing work in my home.

I needed my new dishwasher installed (and my old one removed). I was originally supposed to have Best Buy's third-party installation team (XPO Logistics Last Mile) do it but they were rude, unprofessional, and basically said they couldn't do it.
I reached out to Nicholas on Yelp and got a response almost immediately. He gave me a quote and was able to schedule me in the following week. He arrived on time and got straight to it. He removed the old one and put the next one in seamlessly; he also tested the new one to make sure everything worked and checked to make sure there was no leaking. It took about 2 hours because he had to work around a broke hot water valve (which he also said he could fix for us when we're ready). Cost $300, which is on par to what I was getting quoted by others.
Would definitely recommend!
Really really professional and knowledgeable; fixed my clogged sink with his wisdom and insight; very very organized and great problem-solving skills; highly recommend for every single problem in your home appliances; I wish I could give 6 stars!!! And Nick had a great personality and work attitude! I respect his professionalism and help! Don't hesitate to contact him!

I had a bit of a time sensitive electrical issue I needed some help with, and after a quick Yelp Request-a-Quote query, I was paired up with Nicholas from Stitch Coterie. As others have echoed previously, it was a great experience and one I'd lean on again in the future.
He replied with lightning fast speed and was at my apartment within a couple of hours. It was a pretty simple job, but one that I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing myself. He was in-and-out in just about 15 minutes, and the price was respectable for the work done.
If you need a hand with some home improvement that you'd prefer leaving to a professional instead of watching a Youtube video and hoping you don't burn your place down, I'd recommend Stitch Coterie to anyone.

You know what's super-fun? Having your kitchen sink clog up totally on a Friday afternoon in lower Manhattan! Good luck getting anyone to come out and fix it. But Nick called me back right away, was totally polite, gave me a timeframe about when he'd come by, kept me updated via text as I asked, and then actually showed up right when he said he would. He and Junior were lovely and did a great job. Pricing was toward the upper end of what I've been quoted for similar jobs, but I'll always happily pay a bit more for reliability and utter non-shadiness.
Very pleased with Stitch. They were responsive, arrived on time and completed the job efficiently.

Nick and his team finished up a renovations job for me last month and I am thrilled with the results! I have a very old apartment with chipped flooring and walls and there hasn't been any renovations for over 30 years so you can imagine how bad it was -- all that needed a major redo. Nick was willing to work with us to make it happen in an affordable/manageable way. Nick is highly communicative and transparent on issues. If there are any doubts, don't hesitate to let him know right away. He's great about listening to feedback and addressing them right away. Even if Nick is busy, he'll find a way to get in touch with you and address your needs and concerns. I was and have always been very skeptical of contractors and he's the only one I'll trust.
Nick is the best, fixed my sink when most other people said it was not fixable! Also great personality and just made the whole experience very enjoyable, also prices were very reasonable, would highly recommend him to anyone!
Nick was amazing. Unfortunately we had to reschedule the original appointment because he had to take care of an emergency job, but he was super apologetic and polite and came the very next day.
Nick was quick, polite, and professional. I had been struggling with a clogged drain for over a month now and tried every product and home remedy to no avail, but he managed to take care of it just like that. He also fixed my ceiling light that hadn't been working for a while now. He's an absolute magician!
On top of that, he also pointed out some issues with my heating system that I hadn't noticed before and gave me a quick run down of how it's supposed to be working.
I would have no reservations recommending Nick to anyone else who needs something taken care of quickly and professionally.

Can't recommend Nicholas g enough. Highly responsive, fair pricing and does great work. You are in great hands and highly highly recommend!!!
You know how, when you're about to write a great review of a little known-restaurant, you feel a little worried because you fear you'll never get into the restaurant again? Well this is like that. I am worried that Nick may never have time for me. In a sea of meh contractors, he is a standout. He comes when you need him. His prices are reasonable. He analyzes a problem and takes care of it. He will turn up for small jobs as well as big ones. Today he fixed the five or six electrical outlets in my home that didn't work, and hadn't worked, for years. (One might not think that burnt electrical outlets constitute an emergency during the Covid crisis, but since one involved the microwave, and I am sheltering in place with perpetually ravenous 18 year old boys, this constituted an emergency) When I am allowed, he will be my go-to for entirely renovating my kitchen.
That is, if he still has time for me.
Super responsive, came same day. Did an excellent job, even replacing pipes that weren't essential to repairing the current leak. He wanted to do the job RIGHT and prevent future problems. Will absolutely have him do further work in the apartment. Very excited to find a great, trustworthy person to do quality work. He was highly recommended by two other tenants in my building and he will be by me now as well!

Nick and his crew were hard working, considerate, and reasonable. I had a really good experience in rewiring the lighting in my backyard. They overcame setbacks to make sure the job was done right..

I have an apartment in Manhattan and when I needed them, they were on time, knew what they were doing. Got the job done for the price they quoted. Nothing was beyond what was needed. Highly recommend, plus they have a license for Manhattan buildings if needed.
Nick and his plumbing company is my number one choice when I have plumbing problems. He spends the time to find and fix the problem then he cleans up after. I've not had any problems with any of the work he did for me. He's very respectful, he explains what the problem is, how he's going to fix it and then calls back to see if evening is working as should be. I highly recommend Nick and his this company.
I moved into a new development in January and there were many customizations that were left for owners to make, as well as a number of corrections that needed to be addressed due to poor construction/planning. After months of going back and forth with the developer and getting quotes from all of the wrong contractors, my company concierge connected me with Nick. Nick and his team were the remedy to all of my headaches with my new home. He came in immediately to assess the work and provide a detailed quote, and was very transparent and professional throughout the entire process from start to finish. In less than a day, they put up the LED mirror that had been sitting in a box in my hallway since the summertime after three different contractors had failed to provide a viable plan that did not involve tearing down a large portion of my wall or risking damaging any pipes. They also put in an additional access panel in my ceiling that was needed for HVAC maintenance, re-pitched the drain pipe (since it was not done correctly when the condo was first built), and even changed my air filters!! I am so grateful for Stitch Coterie and am already planning to hit up Nick for more projects in my home!!! Thank you guys!!

They were able to come out to fix a clogged toilet within an hour of my call, offered an explanation about how to better use an auger, and gave a good price compared to the other plumbers I quoted. Good service, nice staff, I would recommend them to a friend.
I contacted Stitch Coterie to fix my bathtub faucet which had started to drip water incessantly (even when it was turned off). The owner Nick responded quickly with a quote and came over promptly to diagnose the problem.
Ultimately the issue turned out to be more involved than what he'd initially thought: the shower and bathtub faucets needed to be replaced as well as something called a mixing valve. But Nick and his crew finished the installation of these parts perfectly in a day and at a fair price.
I'm so glad to have found this company! They offer a range of services from home remodeling/renovation to plumbing repairs, and their work truly lives up to their motto Unparalleled Expertise. I will definitely be using them again.
I had inquired extensively about getting my dishwasher properly installed and having the custom panel placed. Nick at Stitch answered the call - literally. He was easy to get ahold of and confirmed that he could come the next day to tackle the project. He arrived with his assistant, and they got to work. The project ended up being more complicated than it initially appeared. But they didn't stop until everything was completed to perfection. I'm so happy with the result and overall experience that I will definitely use Stitch for all my household projects. Highly Recommend! A++++

Nick was by far the best worker I have ever hired. He did amazing plumbing job overhauling my shower which included taking down a wall of tile. He went above and beyond to make it perfect. I then hired him for a small electrical job, and again, he went the extra mile caring about my satisfaction. I plan to hire him again to paint.
Nick is the best! This is the second time I've asked Nick for help with my apartment. He did a fantastic job the first time and he was the first person I thought of when my bathtub started having issues with the molding sealant. Nick recaulked my bathtub and his work is impeccable as always! Thank you Nick!
I got a fast respond on line, and made arrangements for a visit, but Stitch Coterie did not call or show up.

Great experience! Nick was very responsive and was able to come the next day to install a new kitchen faucet. He is very friendly and checked everything to make sure it functioned appropriately and was very patient to make adjustments as needed. I would hire them again in a hot minute!
It was great working with Nick. He's super nice and knows what he's doing! He installed a hanging light for me over my dining room table, and he did it professionally and very quickly. He was also able to accommodate my work schedule and come at the end of the day. I would definitely recommend his services.

Nick confirmed he would come Saturday morning to do repairs and never showed up. I had to call and text him, with no response.
I wanted it to work out and rescheduled for the following weekend. He actually offered to stop by a day earlier, and came to assess the repairs. I felt good about giving him a second chance as he seemed like a nice guy. On Saturday morning, the day of rescheduling the repair work, he texted 45 minutes before the scheduled time. He had a late night emergency repair and asked me to please give understand, and I did. So we rescheduled for Sunday.
Last Sunday, he didn't call to confirm before arrival as he said he would, and he did not answer my call or text messages when it was past his scheduled time. In fact, he still hasn't responded and has never apologized. I gave him three chances, all with excuses and then without even an acknowledgement.
Stitch Coterie is extremely unprofessional and does not deserve stellar reviews. The only reason I am writing this review is so other people do not get burned as I did. Three times.
Loved that they showed up with mask and gloves very professional, found the problem and immediately knew the solution fixed it gave a me a great price cleaned up and left to go to next client. I highly recommend this business very knowledgeable and professional.... Thank You Very Much And See You Soon For Future Repairs
Nicholas showed up this morning with a big smile on his face and after MANY hours of trouble shooting he was still smiling. This was not an easy installation and even though my building was NO HELP at all he figured out how to get this monster of a light fixture up and running! From start to finish Nick was on it and very responsive and professional. I could not be happier with the service we received from Stitch Coterie. My apartment is LIT! I hope this is the first of many projects together!
Nicholas patiently dealt with my building's stringent insurance requirements and followed through quickly after dealing with them.
He did a fantastic job rebuilding and repairing my sink and really went the extra mile to ensure that the he put in the time and care in the job that it needed at a fair price.
Highly recommended.

Nicholas is excellent!
I needed an electrician to fix undercabinet lighting in my kitchen. My super and handyman couldn't do it. I contacted Stitch Coterie after reading their reviews on Yelp. I've never used a service based solely on Yelp reviews so I was a bit nervous. (Are these friends of the owner or real people he has helped? Who knew?!) But Nicholas contacted me promptly, answered my questions, gave me an estimate for the job.
He came promptly on the appointed date. He was knowledgable, personable and professional. He fixed my lights and charged the estimated price. I couldn't be more pleased. I recommend him highly. I am a very satisfied customer, grateful to have found a wonderful resource.
I hired these guys when I had a bathroom leak. The guy showed up promptly took time and fixed my leak and helped we change out the shower head. He cleaned up after and left my bathroom clean and functioning.
I had lights along my wall that had been broken for a long time. It started off with just one light being broken and I had a handyman come in a year ago to fix it but because my wall didn't have an access panel, he hacked the wires together to make it work. Fast forward a year later, now three of my four lights were broken. I went on yelp to find someone to help me install an access panel so that I could actually access the wires behind to fix the lights. I reached out to a few vendors and Stitch Coterie was the most professional and responsive of them all. I got an appointment set up within the same week.
Admittedly, I was a little wary since there weren't any reviews on yelp but I did my research and found them listed on HomeAdvisor where they had a ton of great reviews so I decided to go ahead with the booking.
Nicholas showed up on time and came prepared. He not only installed the access panel, but also helped me get a new transformer. When that didn't do the trick, he diagnosed the faulty wiring that had happened through the first builder and previous handyman, then rewired everything and made sure that my goal of working lights & beautiful wall was met (vs. some vendors who would have just installed the access panel and called it a day). On top of it all, he repainted and fixed everything up to make it looks as good as new. He even made sure to clean/sweep the floor afterwards. He really takes pride in his work and I was impressed by not just how great everything turned out but also the warm/dependable service and quick turnaround of results.
I highly recommend this service and would go to Stitch Coterie and Nicholas again for any of my future repair needs. Thank you again for your great work, Nicholas! We are super happy with the results!
Stitch provided excellent value for its services. Nick and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with, and really cared about getting things right. Importantly, they completed the job within schedule.
The patchwork that Nick's painter (Mohammed) did on my walls was fantastic, and I noticed that Mohammed even took the time to prime the walls before painting, even though priming was not required in the scope-of-work. Another work item required hardwiring undercabinet LED strips to a wall dimmer, and Nick's electrician (Howard) made 4-5 attempts using different LED strips, dimmers and drivers until the finished product satisfied the specifications in the scope-of-work. Throughout the entire process, Nick and his team were receptive to input, and the few problems we encountered were ironed out in a quick, friendly and constructive way.
Stitch would be especially well-paired with a designer or with clients who are actively engaged in the process. For example, Nick's carpenter (Al) had installed the under-sink filters behind the new pull-out trash can, and when I noticed that the filters' location made it difficult to change the filters every six months, Al relocated the filters to the side where they would be easier to access in the future.
I've already recommended Nick and his team to friends and family, and I would work with them again on my next renovation.
P.S. This review was posted 6 months after the job was complete, and I'm still very happy with the work.

I had a serious problem with water leakage in my kitchen. I dreaded having to deal with plumbers because of the risk of being taken advantage of because I was desperate to get back use of my kitchen sink. The first plumber I called the night before arrived 3 hours late and did a lousy acting job of how difficult the leak was going to be to fix and gave me an outrageous price. I told him that I needed to get another estimate. Yelp led me to Stitch Coterie and Nick responded immediately. His schedule was full but he did fit me in. He did a thorough job of identifying the two causes of the serious water problem. He gave me a very fair price for repair. Even though he had to make a couple of trips to different stores to find the right parts, he did not charge me above the price he paid for the new faucet and did not charge me at all for the parts to replace a section of the pipes. He was honest and kind. I would never consider calling anybody but Nick for any plumbing problem because he is a great combination of being an exceptionally skilled and talented contractor who is trustworthy. A true hero in my eyes!
Nick responded in record time. He's professional, timely, knowledgeable and resolved my plumbing problem without delay. I will definitely use Stitch Coterie for my future projects. I've already recommended him to others.

I needed to have a faulty shower valve fixed that had caused a flood in the unit below mine. Nick was very professional, came on time, and even when the parts I ordered didn't work, he went out of his way to find the right parts and returned to complete the work. He worked with my schedule and was always courteous to me and my wife, and made sure the shower worked perfectly before he left. His rates are also very reasonable compared to other plumbers that that I reached out to before I retained him. I would highly recommend him for any plumbing work you may have.

Nick is an excellent professional. While he may not always show up exactly on time, it's fine. Be aware these guys are going from job to job and often delays happen so can't expect him to show up exactly at time promised. Realistically expect a few hour window for his arrival. Nick did a quick fix to the shower regulator to restore hot water when other plumbers were quick to sell me a new friggin water heater for several thousand dollars. Another plumber told me my radiator heat in a room could not be restored unless I installed a brand new piping to the room which would have cost thousands. Nick came and assessed the radiator and fixed it! Bottom line, I find other pros quick to recommend complete overhaul of systems. Nick on the other hand is actually very experienced and has shown the ability to identify problems and fix things others cannot, saving me thousands. Finally he is very quick to respond via yelp or messaging. He often replies within the hour

We just can't praise Nick and his team's work enough. We asked Stitch Coterie to refurbish a one-bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side and Nick has been a delight at every stage of the process. He has been very flexible when we added extras and has gone out of his way to accommodate our requests. His work is high quality and his working style is completely open and transparent - no surprises. Stitch Coterie is a wonderful find.
Can't say enough good things about them. I had to cancel twice because of arising circumstances and they kept working with me to accommodate my time. Did a wonderful job on top of being just overall great people to have hired. So happy with their work that I'm probably going to be working with them again shortly.

I am a professional interior designer and professional member of ASID the industry professional organization. That said, I've worked with many contractors over the years both residential and commercial. I can't say enough wonderful things about Stitch Coterie and its owner, Nick. They are responsible, responsive, extremely skilled and just a joy to work with. On top of that their pricing is fair, especially for the quality of the work. We interviewed several contractors and based on our meeting with Nick we decided to hire him immediately. We wanted to update our kitchen, including the cabinets, new pull-outs, flooring, lighting and appliances with the least disruption and Nick accomplished this in a very reasonable timeframe. We have since used his services for some electrical, sheet rock and masonry work on our front steps. All was accomplished in a timely manner. We will definitely use his firm for any projects we have and recommend him highly. I've included some before and after photos. For some reason they are not in the order I uploaded them so please read the captions, thanks.
Nick is great! He came in on time, fixed my leaking faucet and cleaned it up. Price is also reasonable. Will recommend to friends!

Nick helped us figure out how to install an outside faucet on our patio, and then his crew was amazingly efficient at doing the work. I appreciated that they worked with me to come up with a plan that would minimize the amount of drywall work, and were willing to involve me in the details of the work they were doing - it felt like a great collaboration, with excellent communication and no surprises. Watching them work, it was clear this was a crew of pros who weren't cutting corners. I'm absolutely going to hire them again for our next project.
We had someone come in last month and they seemed to have done a really good job. They were late to the call and had to reschedule towards the evening. Trying to get back into contact with them to schedule a follow-up appointment or even trying to talk to someone from their phone number is impossible. I've tried multiple times through phone, text, and email but have only gotten back one response that wasn't followed up on. Will be contacting a different electrician.
Nick is a perfectionist. Once he starts, he won't leave a job half-finished or half-*****. I am so happy to finally find a great contractor.
The guys quickly provided the documentation required by my building and did a great job installing my track lighting, at a reasonable price.
I was looking around for a long time for someone to fix my radiator. I had some very bad experiences in the past so I was wary about hiring another contractor.Nick arrived at my place without any charge to give me an estimate and fixed the radiator two days later. He is very personable and unlike other contractors let me know that this was not a big problem and he fixed my problem within a hour. The quality of his work was excellent.
Solid reliable. Fairly priced.
Had a small job - broken toilet and low water pressure. He came and diagnosed and then fixed it for a fair price. Used him twice more in the next weeks to do other small jobs. He was excellent. Recommended
THANK YOU NICHOLAS! Great communication, fast response, polite, and professional.
My guest bathroom has had a terrible odor (sewage smell) for a year now that it got to a point where I was embarrassed to have guests over. My parents kept attributing it to infrequent use so I kept flushing it, even using baking soda and vinegar (like the internet suggested). The smell got worse and water started seeping out from the ground with every flush. The handyman in my building took a look and said the wax seal had to be replaced but that such work was not the building's responsibility. As I've never hired a plumber before, I went on yelp to ask for a quote and Nicholas responded immediately. My building requires the vendor to submit a COI and to fill out a form, both of which Nicholas sent me immediately.
When Nicholas showed up, he was nice, polite, always smiling, efficient, and fast (whole thing only took 1 hour). He also took the time to explain to me what was wrong and what he did to fix the issue. The final bill came out to be $300 which is a lot cheaper than a quote I got from another vendor ($475).
Nick has been very helpful for a variety of projects, including plumbing, electrical, and handy-work. It's been great working with someone who has such a wide range of skills, instead of hiring a new person for each task. He's also very nice and didn't over charge.

I first hired Nick back in 2019, he was on time and reliable and did the installation seamlessly. When I needed to do a new bathroom vanity unit with new faucet installation, I automatically thought of Nick and I could not be happier w the results!
Even before arriving, Nick was very understanding and flexible when dealing w NYC apt building rules/ paper work etc. He and his teammate had a great energy from the start, they were easy going and knowledgeable and that put me at ease. It took them just 10 mins to remove the old vanity unit and had no problem w working in the rather small bathroom space throughout the whole installation.
I was also working from home during the time, Nick and his teammate was respectful to even close the bathroom door and stay in the small space while I had to be in a meeting!
Their attention to detail was the first thing I noticed, the vanity unit was centered, sink was installed with clean caulking finishes, faucet fixture was aligned straight and even plumbing was replaced. I can just tell the installation was done right and I love it so much!
I can't wait for my next upgrade project, whether it be the kitchen or bathroom or just anywhere in the apt, I will definitely give nick a call and work with him!
If you're looking for the best plumber, you just found them. BEST! Yes. This father and son team did a beautiful job on my kitchen plumbing. Perfect job, great vibe, and fair price. I'm very lucky I found these guys.
We had a great experience with Stitch Coterie on a plumbing job. Nick was highly responsive and competent, and his pricing was fair. Without a doubt, I'll choose Stitch Coterie again.

Beware - these guys will leave you hanging. Here is a list of my issue with them:
- Accept a job and don't show up for two days
- Cancel the job and don't reply to phone calls (won't bore you with how many calls back and forth)
- Now I am a week later with no resolution to my electrical issues (which I made clear was time sensitive because of the dangers surrounding the matter).
Now I have to find someone else and it's going to take another 3-4 business days for them to get out here. Very unprofessional, unreliable and not trustworthy. Basics you can expect when you book a service is keep your promise and good communication.
For your safety and time, I would advise you look elsewhere.
Company does good work.
Arrived on time
Worked with me on the price,
Waited while I got some on the parts.
Checked back later to make sure everything was still working as expected.
Will call them for more jobs.

I contacted Stitch Coterie for a plumbing repair. They came as soon as they had availability, did the job efficiently, and made sure that I understood what they were repairing. They also made sure not to rush it and leave a mess.
They were very fair in their pricing and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for another project.
