Design and Build Companies in Lindenhurst, NY

“I consider Diversified a design team, as well as a top sub-contractor, who not only identify the right construction solutions but understand a project from an architectural, engineering, and interior design perspective. I have employed Diversified to provide me with all three services, architectural plans, engineering work (including obtaining obtaining permits) and subcontracting work. Diversified does a good job in holding the subcontractors accountable that work is done well and on time. They ensure subs work in concert with one another so there are relatively few lapses in work as compared to other firms. I have not been stuck with a punch list that takes months to address. They address issues and problems right away. My level of satisfaction is so high, I have hired Diversified to work on two different houses. The first time I have ever hired a contractor more than once. The work on my first home was so well done and had such a positive impact on our curb appeal, the house was sold in 3 days! I employed them the second time when I needed a firm who could move quickly in making my fixer upper move in ready (they even helped me out in the aftermath or Super storm Sandy). While the work may be a tad more expensive, it was worth the extra investment to make sure the end product was well done. I absolutely recommend Diversified.”

“I highly and without reservation recommend Mr. Gregory Sforza of Done Right Remodeling for any home improvement job you may require. He is talented in a variety of home improvement specialties including carpentry, installations, and demonstrates a completely accurate interpretation of a customer's ideas for a given project. He maintains a list of professionals who perform jobs within related specialties including electricians, plumbers and painters, for example. His estimates are fair, and there are no hidden costs. If extra materials are required he discusses this beforehand with the customer as the need arises so you are well-aware and may consent or decline extra materials or labor. He and his coworkers clean up the work area at the end of each day and are never " no shows", which is a common issue with other contractors I used in the past. When you've hired Done Right Remodeling you've made an educated choice.”

“Center Island is a professional company that delivers what it promises. My husband and I contracted them for a large project in 2010 which was completed in a timely manner, on budget, and done very well. Caleb was available every step of the way to answer questions and solve any problems that arose. The staff who worked on our project were friendly, knowledgeable, and cleaned up when they left for the day. We will definitely call Center Island for any future projects.”

“NEA Construction is the construction company you want to use if you are looking to do the job right. Manny, the owner of the company, is an extremely talented architect and contractor, who brings the technical knowledge and expertise that other contractors lack. It has been a pleasure building our home with him and he has elevated the project to a level that was beyond our imagination. Let us break it down for you: CONTRACT: NEA Construction furnishes their client with an extremely detailed and comprehensive contract that goes above and beyond any other contractor making a bid. Their attention to detail leaves no room for doubt and highlights specific details so that there are no unpleasant surprises midway into the project. Unlike other contractors, who make a low bid to seal the deal and then add additional charges for things they did not mention in their contract, NEA Construction leaves no room for doubt. One of the biggest issues that homeowners have with contractors is that midway into the project, the contractor says that the price they gave did not include certain items. The contract that NEA Construction provides a detailed account of what is included so that the homeowner knows exactly what they are paying for. Their prices are accurate DESIGN: Because of his architectural background (which is an additional perk that clients benefit from), Manny does an excellent job of streamlining designs, seeing what will work and bringing the project up to another level. He does an excellent job of explaining the details of construction so that his clients have a good understanding of the task at hand. Because he is also an artist, he knows how to combine the perfect balance of form and function. He has an extremely refined sense of aesthetics and knows how to incorporate it with the functionality of the space. BUDGET: NEA Construction is well reputed for working within the confines of the proposed budget. For all clients alike, the budget allotted to the project is obviously a very important issue, especially in this economical time. One of the biggest issues that homeowners have with their contractors is that contractors are known to exceed their budget and their clients are not prepared for the extra expense and then the construction spirals into a horrific experience. NEA Construction understands the need for their clients to stay within the budget and they take their budget proposal very seriously. While other contractors become lackadaisical once the contract is signed, NEA Contruction is extremely cautious about the expenses incurred by their clients and you will definitely feel a loyalty with regard to this on their part. TIMELINE: NEA Construction provides their clients with an estimated timeline so their clients know what to expect. While most contractors just wing a estimate timeline off the top of their head, NEA Construction breaks the timeline down according to task so that their clients have a comprehensive idea of how long their project should take. PROBLEM SOLVING POTENTIAL: As with all construction projects, there will be unpredictable issues that arise. One of NEA Contructions strengths in this arena is foresight. We were pleased to see that Manny is an expert at handling such situations. He not only addresses issues that arise behind the scenes so that the client has a completely stress free experience, he rises to the occasion if posed with a challenging task. When checking on his references, one of his former clients told me that the more difficult the task, the more Manny will rise to the occasion. We have found this to be very true. He takes every endeavor seriously and is always 20 steps ahead of us and because of his ability to foresee problems with design ( again, a perk of his architectural background and his Knowledge of engineering), the need to problem solve is minimized. PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE: With so many choices and options on materials, fixtures, appliances, etc., it really helps to work with a contractor that knows what products is out there and understands which materials will work for your projects. While many contractors just stick to what they are used to because they fail to update their craft, Manny is constantly updating his knowledge of new products, improved materials and updated technology, so the end result is that you end up with a project that is as best is it could possibly be. Manny does an excellent job of familiarizing his clients with the products available to them and recommends options that we, as clients, did not know even existed! PROFESSIONALISM: We have been very impressed with the professionalism that Manny and the rest of his team at NEA Construction has displayed. Apart from having the highest standards himself, he has selected a team of employees that are well experienced and dedicated to their craft as well. It is worthwhile to comment that Manny has set the standard for having extremely developed communication skills. He is always just a phone call or email away and is always fully aware of what is happening on his job sites. He is not the type of contractor that you will have to hunt down or call again and again to get a simple answer - he always follows up and he always comes through. REFERENCES: We spent over a year looking for the right contractor and met Manny through a friend who had just used him for their home. After a long and thorough search, and having met Manny, the owner of NEA Contruction, we felt that we have finally found what we were looking for. We did a very extensive reference check on him and all his former clients had nothing but excellent things to say about his workmanship. One thing that stood out the most was that all his references said that they ended up with a completed project that surpassed their expectation. We can now add ourselves to that list of references that can happily and honestly say that the home that NEA Construction built for us has truly surpassed our expectation. Manny and his team at NEA Contruction has made building our home an extremely pleasant experience. If you are looking for a contractor that offers one stop shopping, NEA Construction will certainly be right for you. If you are looking for a contractor that is reliable, then NEA Construction will certainly be the right contractor for you. If you are looking for contractor that understands the worth of good quality and high standards in all aspects of construction, then NEA is most certainly the right contractor for you. My spouse and I recommend him wholeheartedly and we fully intend to use him for all our future endeavors without any hesitation!”

“Vita and Jerry came to our house as the third company to give us a proposal to update our kitchen which was 15 years old. The existing cabinets were in excellent condition and we wanted to reuse and add more cabinets in some areas. The final proposal was the best one we received with a new opening created in one wall and an additional opening into living room from stairs coming down that we did not even know would be a great idea but transformed our whole first floor. Very pleased with execution. Jerry and workers treated out house as theirs with care and consideration we never saw before with other companies.”

“Excellent reputation and work. Very neat and courteous work crews. A pleasure to deal with. We would definitely use them again, and have recommended them to friends and family.”

“cedar Knowles provides a great finished product whether stick built or prefab. They always follow through on there projects and deliver every promise. I never hesitate to recommend them.”

“Fred Vazac and his entire crew were the utmost professions in all aspects of our renovation. The work done is of the highest quality and construction area was cleaned after each day. There were no unexpected hassles and they delivered a quality job.”

“Honest, family run, customer service oriented operation. I came to them with a general idea to knock down a wall to combine my outdated medium sized kitchen and small dining area into one multi functioning space. They were ready, willing, and well equipped to fill in the blanks. There were a lot of blanks. I have a small {1000 sq. ft.} 2BR 1Bath ranch so this renovation represented approximately 1/3 of my house. Complicating the project was the loss of the baseboard heat that ran along the wall that was to be demolished (we would eventually go with radiant heat under the new wood floor to match the existing wood floor). John Little the owner (contractor/carpenter), and Mike Potapchuk (designer) came to the house and I was immediately impressed with their "can do" attitude while offering practical options for the many technical aspects of the project. They have an excellent reputation in the area and they offered a reasonable price so I did not shop around, we just got to work. A thousand and one decision to be made about things that I had absolutely no opinion about. This was why I had put this project off till now. They recommended I spend time developing opinions by visiting the Houzz website. After numerous hours with Mike and many visits to their well equipped design center in East Northport we had a plan. They could not have been more patient with me. At one point I came to them with an idea for the island that I saw on Houzz. It was a table base for one end of the new island. Within minutes Ann Marie (John's wife) had the company who made that table base on the phone and was pricing it out. John said he could tie it in to the island easily. They made it happen and that table base is now the focal point of my beautiful new kitchen. They also offered 2 free hours of consultation with their interior designer. Mary Maggio helped immensely with the color scheme (particularly the island color) while offering many other decorating ideas. All the guys that came to the house were gentleman who respected my property and privacy. Matt in particular went the extra mile in making my 60 year old house look new again. All things considered, I find it hard to imagine another contractor better suited to my needs. Matt”
