Best Cabinetry in New York NY

Peter is that rare find who under promises and over delivers. He showed up, used good judgement and got a difficult job done, even though it required multiple visits. He was tidy, resourceful and I would highly recommend him for those jobs that are too big for yourself but not big enough for a major contractor.

First, let me start off by saying that Harry is the most professional contractor that we've had the pleasure of working with. We hired Harry and his company to take care care of a bunch of random repairs around our home.

We had a leaky shower faucets and pipes, broken lights and light switches, landing steps that needed to be replaced, holes in walls that needed patching, boiler room valves that wouldn't close properly, a closet that needed to be repaired and a drive way that needed to be demolished and redone with a structural column that needed repairing as well.

Safe to say it was a lot of little jobs that needed to be fixed. Did I also mention that my husband and I needed this to be taken care of relatively quickly since he would be travelling to Colombia within two weeks and I would be out of state with work?

Our interactions with Harry was extremely easy-going. My husband gave him a list of issues that were mentioned previously to be fixed and Harry gave us a itemized proposal. Harry was also one of the only contractors on Yelp who actually got back to us and made time for us.

All in all the repairs were done before our travel plans. It took about a week total to fix everything and we couldn't be happier. There was about a week lead since our first walk through since he does have other clients.

Harry is fair with his pricing and does quality work. Most of all he is professional, easy to work with and extremely kind. We would definitely hire him again. There is something rare about finding someone who takes pride in their craft and even rarer that they aren't trying to take advantage of you.

These guys are at best handyman skill level, at worst putting lives at risk, conducting illegal not to code plumbing and electrical work. My wife and I hired them for filing NYC DOB plumbing permit, relocate kitchen plumbing and upgrade electrical in my east village co-op apartment.

Big mistake, they  didn't know that I have a decent level of electrical and structural engineering knowledge (studied in college) and once I saw the work, got very concerned, showed pics to my NYC registered architect that I had used last year and guess what? nothing to electrical code and terrible plumbing work not running pipes through the middle of joists as they had promised and thus compromised the structural beams (see attached email pic, redacted to protect personal info). Next, they tested my gas line, found leaks in basement, illegally turn off 2 gas meters, came up with a $91k estimate to fix the problem, and did not notify DOB and con-Edison for almost 1 week until they figured we are not going to give them more money. We got advice from a referenced licensed plumber and again guess what? totally illegal and dangerous acts. Now we are hiring a legitimate company to help us.  

I suspected neither of these guys (Ricardo or Dinesh) are properly trained, educated or licensed to handle anything more than simple handyman work that they probably learned while picking up small jobs.
I spent about 30 mins this morning researching their license numbers on DOB &DCA site and was shocked to find their GC license (621125) belongs to East Enders nyc inc, electric license (02938) belongs to some Joey elec't. Most concerning fact, the plumbing license (1504) belongs to Johnny Nanhu, the master plumber of Johnny P&H contrac inc who has a DOB violation record of fine and 2 year probation!!! (see attached pic) just unbelievable how all this information is hidden behind CN coterie which is just a registered cooperation (DOS ID 5034867) with no licenses and thus no legal liability which means their contracts are worth zero and will not hold up in a court. No wonder when I asked them to fill in the DCA contract template, they suddenly called me to come up with a new 'idea' to save us money and I never received the DCA contract since the template asks for a DCA home improvement contractor license number that they obviously don't have, what a scam!

Should have done my proper due diligence before hiring, just glad I did not hire them for a large scope of work and can easily supersede the permit to complete my renovation.

I never post reviews but this was so egregious that I felt a responsibility to alert the community. Please be careful before hiring for them for anything...even if its a simple handyman job.

I met with the gentleman and at first wasn't sure who to go with had few other companies gave me estimates one actually a little cheaper but the way the guys at A&O responded to my needs and the urgency of my situation Let me say the professionalism was impeccable very glad I chose them even though I may have paid just a little more definitely worth every penny just the comfort and convenience knowing I don't have to get it done again is why I will be calling them up for my next project in our home I highly recommend these people they left my house looking better than when they came in my hat's off to those young men
