NJ ROSSI CARPENTRY & REMODELING

Great to work with, great team

.

Nick was professional, on time both in bidding and then in scheduling and completing the work. He is clear to work with, flexible. The work was of very fine quality and well thought out. We would definitely work with Nick again.

It was really good. They were pretty prompt because we gave them a short notice to get the carpets installed. They were able to come in and do it fairly efficiently. They were in and out pretty quickly. Their prices were really good too. In terms of their punctuality, I had to call them several times.

Started on time. Stuck with the job. Minor details (installation of towel racks, etc) and painting to be completed next week. Said the job should take 3-6 weeks and looks like it will be completed in 3.5 weeks. Highly recommend Nick. Excellent work product and work ethic.

Nick was always very quick to get back to me and he is such a nice guy to work with. Though we didn't hire him to do any carpentry work, he gave us a lot of suggestion and recommended a good contractor to us. Thanks a lot, Nick !

I ended up not going with them and I cannot remember how much they quoted. They were prompt to come and prompt to give a price. I would consider a quote from them in the future.

This was our fourth project on our 110 year old floor-thru condo and by far, Nick was the best contractor we worked with so far. The pantry project was something we had planned for a long time but never found the right contractor. What makes him special is that he is a business person first and a contractor second. He understands the need to effectively commuicate the state of the project, how to keep his clients informed and how to set expectations. For example, in the middle of the project, he communicated via email and voicemail that he was not going to be on-site the following day. He is the first contractor to effectively use a blackberry and I can't be more impressed. From start to finish, he said what he did, and did what he said. He was reliable and dependable - told us when he would be coming to the house and was never late, met his start date (which for us was about 4 weeks after we decided to engage him) and finised on time, on budget and was willing to do some extra stuff as the project proceeded. So, is he really this good? Yes he is. I'd recommend him and we already have Nick lined up to help with some additional custom woodworking and renovations for March.

For those who like things short and sweet: Nick does excellent work at a very reasonable price. He shows up when he says he will. He takes your calls. He's a straight shooter, a very hard worker, and an upright person. Every time I wrote a check to Nick, I knew EXACTLY what I was paying for, and that it was FULLY earned. We will definitely hire Nick again. For those who like details: Nick is an intelligent professional with great technical skills and pride in his work. He chooses his subcontractors carefully and somehow manages to coordinate them so that everything happens smoothly and in an order that makes sense. He communicates clearly, quickly, and with respect. All the qualities you should be able to expect in a contractor -- Nick has them. So I have the luxury of commenting on a more intangible quality I think is very special about Nick. In addition to all his other skills, Nick's unflappable manner has been unbelievably important to us. Through the course of this project we hit several snags (all unrelated to Nick), and he didn't just put up with them, he HELPED us deal with them. If you have remodeled before, you can imagine what a relief it would be to have your contractor actively working with you when the unexpected happens. When the Inspection Department needed changes to our drawings--right when our architect was leaving town for three weeks--Nick helped us research and plan the changes, and then juggled his schedule so he could be available when we were ready to restart the project. When we needed to reposition a closet, Nick patiently worked out dimensions with us to utilize the space as efficiently as possible. When we wanted the floor laid differently, Nick figured out how to take up and re-lay the needed section with the minimum of damage. When he had to start another project partway through ours (because ours had been delayed while we waited to make changes to the drawings), he worked double shifts and weekends to keep things going for us. He was so obviously dedicated to getting the project done to our complete satisfaction. I should mention that I called all 5 of the references Nick provided (the first three because I always call three, and the last two just because I was hearing such good stuff). The comment I heard over and over was, "In a few years, Nick will be one of the most sought-after contractors in the area. You are getting a real bargain, working with him now." I have to agree.

Nick made the experience seemless. We could not have had a better contractor. He was extremely reasonably priced, wanted to make it match our needs to a T, was very clear about the schedule, and followed through every step of the way. We purchased some of the cabinets ourselves and he agreed to install them. When a couple of the shelves were the wrong color, he agreed to come back even after the job was done just to finish that small piece of the job. He was honest, friendly, extremely professional and brought in excellent subcontractors. He was outstanding!

Though I didn't end up using him for the job (he was busy during the time I needed it done), I would use this him in the future. He answered the phone when I called (or called back promptly), was honest with time estimates and acted very professional. Very nice guy.

I liked the guy who came out to get the work done, as he was willing to listen to suggestions by my son-in-law who lives downstairs and is an architect. The price charged by him was good and he did everything accurately. Everything looked beautiful at the end. He also worked on my back porch which was not in the best of shape. He was excellent and is young.

Nick not only provided the best quote but was the most professional carpenter we dealt with in terms of promptly responding to calls, arriving on time, and working with us on what we wanted to accomplish. Nick built and installed a beautiful mantel/surround for our fireplace based on some pictures we showed him, and repaired some damage from the previous fireplace demo (done by someone else). He also did an excellent job installing crown moulding on the almost the entire first floor of our house. Nick was consistently professional and flexible with changes. The work took about a day longer than originally estimated, but he stuck with his original quote. Would highly recommend NJ Rossi Construction.

great.

Went great, highly recommend. We've had him come back to the office for smaller jobs since the big job mentioned above, and he has continued the good work.

Fantastic. Prior to this remodel, our kitchen was as ugly and inefficient as they come. Now, its the centerpiece of our home. Most importantly, the transformation was effortless (on our part) thanks to Nick's skill and professionalism. Over the course of the month-long project, it was clear that Nick had a day-by-day plan in mind from the outset, and he stuck to it precisely, even taking into account the inevitable setbacks. Nick was responsive to all of our concerns, and from the get-go, inspired a great deal of confidence. We trusted his judgment on issues big and small, and his knowledge and insight on topics ranging from ceiling height to the type of flooring to use were invaluable. The most defining characteristic of his work was his cleanliness. We would come home from work each day, and simply be stunned that the amount of progress left such little mess. He took precautions to confine dust and debris to his work area (sparing the rest of our house) and meticulously swept up at the end of each day. Our kitchen looks tremendous, and we will never take for granted the effort and skill that went into it. We look forward to hiring Nick again for another project soon.
