Description of Work: Monk's were very responsive to our call for help. The painters were excellent and finished in the time they said they would. Returned immediately to fix small problems. Would hire them again. Painting was for kitchen and Den areas. Liked that they gave on the spot estimate and were ready to do the job in 2 weeks. I give them 2 thumbs. |Romaine from Morristown

Description of Work: I had Monks install a new bathroom vanity, sink, faucet, and toilet and remove wallpaper and paint. Esteban & Diego arrived on time every day (job took 3 days), were polite, & very professional. They worked hard with few breaks and no cell phone calls while they worked. They did not take shortcuts even though I may not have known the difference, they did what was right. Communication was very easy and I would use them again. Kurt was also a pleasure in organizing the job. I used them after getting several higher estimates & with a recommendation from my brother who had his outside deck redone by Monk's.

Description of Work: I wanted to have a bracket hung from a ceiling beam to support a TRX, so it needed to be secure. I had already marked the area and found the ceiling stud and ladder set up as i was planning on doing it myself. went with a professional for safety sake. for what was done, I think it was expensive. the drill also didn't work well as it wasn't charged and he had to do some of it manually.

Description of Work: I originally called Monk's for painting and floor refinishing estimates. Even though they were available to do the work right away, they did not offer the lowest cost. We used someone else for painting, but still hired Monk's to refinish a bedroom floor, clean the gutters and fix a railing. They did not do a very good job refinishing the floor the first time. When they came back to inspect the work as we requested they agreed that it needed to be re-done. They were very good about scheduling another workday and of course did not charge anything additional. So, while I was not happy with the original quality of their work they did work hard to correct the problem and make sure we were satisfied. The floor looks fine now.

Description of Work: Did a good construction job replacing porch although foreman never went to township to get final inspection, but I had to. They also sent their roofer for an estimate on roof repair. Cost $5000. Had entire roof done by a top rated contractor for $8000. They tried to scam me I think. The estimator has not called me back and I have placed several calls to him.

Response from Monk's Home Improvements
Dear Mr. [member name remove], I’ve read your review and discussed your project with the team responsible. I know Trevor also reached out to you to make sure we are clear on your concerns. From what I understand, you were pleased with the work we provided on your porch in April of 2013. You were not happy, however, with the price quoted for the roofing work by Lasting Roofing, whom we recommended. I’m sorry you found the roofing price to be high, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that you were being scammed by Monk’s. We don’t price that work nor do we benefit financially from any recommendation. If you have any concerns regarding your porch that you’d like to discuss, please call me at 973-635-7900. Sincerely, Ty Monk

Description of Work: Monk's replaced and refinished a section of original hardwood flooring roughly 4-planks wide in my home after the original boards were damaged in a small fire. | |The estimate was very straightforward and workers were punctual, professional and highly skilled craftsmen. I'd definitely hire them again.

Description of Work: MONK'S HOME IMPROVEMENTS were hired to do 3 things: floor re-finishing, wall painting and tile back-splash replacing. While we are very happy with A+ job done on the first two, there was a problem with tiles. Wrong type of grout was used on glass tiles and they all were horribly scratched. Monk's did acknowledge the problem right away and are scheduled to come in and re-do the work. Overall we would recommend them.

Description of Work: I had outside mouldings scraped and painted, replaced where needed. They also painted both front and back railings. A couple mishaps along the way: paint on the mailbox and front step, miscommunication about replacing front moulding. Tito handled everything without argument or hesitation. He went above and beyond and powerwashed my entire front steps, not just the one step with paint on it. Overall very happy with the end result.
