Mark and Jon have been wonderful to deal with. As a woman, I have had some unpleasant experiences with pushy, condescending contractors and companies. That was not my experience with the people at Monk's. They are kind, explained all my options, and there have been no unpleasant surprises. What could have been a stressful experience was just the opposite. I am thankful for that.

We hired Monk's to do a 300k remodel of our basement because we decided to move my mom into our home permanently. The end result was more or less perfection. From start to finish, the team worked tirelessly to ensure our satisfaction. I'd like to specifically commend Jared who was extremely thorough by getting us started in the process; Joey B., our project manager who was available to us whenever we needed (there was never a worry that he wouldn't get back to us via text, addressing any needs that arose), and was on-site nearly daily. He seemed to take a personal interest in the project ensuring our overall contentment. And the workers...WOW...nicest guys...and skilled! I cannot compliment their work enough. I highly recommend Monk's Home Improvements; we are definitely going to use them again.
Description of Work: We COMPLETELY remodeled our basement so that my mom could move in...and I mean COMPLETELY. We basically created a new home in our basement which is why the cost was so high (including an egress window). They were worth the price because they were so thorough and there was a paper trail (as opposed to hiring some guy with a van, in which case my worry would be "Is he going to run off on us/disappear? Does he have access to materials/connections in a way that a major company does?"

We had our staircase refinished by Monk's, and are very happy with the results! The project entailed both refinishing the railing & painting the risers, spindles and moldings, which required using 2 different crews. Monk's was the only company we contacted who had the capability to provide both services, and to coordinate the 2 crews, which they did seamlessly. Everyone we dealt with at Monk's was knowledgeable, professional and concerned with making sure that we were 100% satisfied with the end results. We would definitely recommend Monk's and would hire them again.

The Monk’s team was terrific! Ward - the Project Manager - was a pleasure to work with and made sure that each element of the plan was executed to our satisfaction. The team - especially Gustavo and Justin - were extremely professional. They went above and beyond to make sure that each and every detail was addressed. They did great work. We’ve used Monk’s in the past and will not hesitate to use them again for future projects.

Jason Solomon's crew at Monk's did a fantastic job of power washing and staining our large wooden deck. They were quick, detail-oriented, and responsive. The deck looks wonderful and the price of the job was very reasonable. I highly recommend Monk's Home Improvement.

This is the second time I have invited Monks and Ward to quote a project in my house. Previously Monks painted and installed flooring in my house which turned out fantastic. This time we wanted to convert our covered porch into a mudroom. After receiving his quote (which was very reasonable) we met Vince as Project Manager and his foreman, Alonzo. Vince coordinated the project including inspections. Alonzo and his crew built the room. Start to finish it was a great experience. I would recommend Monks and will recommend Monks to my family and friends for all of their renovation.needs.

Monk's is exceptional. I was so impressed by Alberto and John's professionalism, flexibility, communications, and how they managed their crew and the timelines. They minimized disruption for us as much as possible. The final product, after a month of sanding, scraping, priming, carpentry and then two coats of paint, is truly extraordinary. My two hundred year old home looks brand new! I am so grateful for their work, the attention to detail was unparalleled, and their willingness to do things even outside the scope, like fixing my gate latch, have put them in a class all their own. Alberto was on site almost everyday with the crew, responding immediately to my questions or requests, and ensuring my voice in every decision being made. They also stayed on budget despite all the unforeseen issues that needed to be resolved so I was really thankful for that. Overall, they exceeded my expectations and I am so thrilled to know my five-generation family home will be set now for another 25 years. Thank you Alberto and John!

Mike and Victor have been fantastic. Mike is responsive and accommodating. Victor and his crew do great work and are always professional. They have been back several times over the last two years to paint the entire house inside and out. They also did some exterior repair work and refinished our kitchen cabinets. My husband and I are very happy with the work Monk has done for us.
Description of Work: Extensive drywall repair and interior painting for two bedrooms including the closets in these bedrooms, a bathroom and a family room in the basement. Every room needed drywall repairs, had lots of trim, molding and doors to paint and because our house is a cape, lots of angles and corners to work around.

Monk‘s did an excellent job repairing water damage on a ceiling. George Day and the crew lead by Ziggy were great in estimating and correctly repairing - the surface and the painting are flawless. The cost was very fair.

I received absolutely amazing service from George and Ziggy. My little project was there for a few years but I wan never able to find the best team to do the job. With the team from Monks, it was completed in 2 days with 120% satisfaction!!! It was easy, efficient and great quality, I can only recommend the team with nothing else! At the end of the day, they are all great and nice professionals, thinking about you as the customer as their first priority , highly highly recommended!!! Robert

Working with Monks was an absolute pleasure. Our full bathroom renovation needed to be completely wheelchair accessible, so we’re very happy we chose Monks! Starting in the design showroom, Lucia Mastronardi carefully hand-selected several styles of tile and coordinating cabinets to help us narrow down our overall design, all the way down to the accessible hardware. Her 3D renderings illustrated the project beautifully, which made any further choices so easy. Once we’d decided on our design, we loved that our project team came back a second time to double-check all measurements before ordering materials or beginning demolition. We also agreed to a very thoroughly priced out invoice prior to starting work. Joe Corticada headed up project management along with Jose Roca. They were both so helpful and very respectful of our home, keeping us updated throughout our project. We had a few unexpected changes to the project scope due to our slab foundation style, but they handled those issues quickly and efficiently. We were able to live comfortably alongside construction as the team made sure to lay down drop cloths, tape off closets, and clean up each day. Every time we had questions, Joe was easy to reach and always put our minds at ease. Our finished bathroom is everything we’d imagined! We have a gorgeous roll-in shower and accessible floating vanity with beautiful modern tile and accessories throughout. We will absolutely call Monks for our next project!

We have used Monk’s for about a decade now and we are always pleased with their work. They are very responsive on the phone for scheduling, estimates, etc. and they do what they say they will do. We have used them for a wide range of projects including carpentry, drywall repair, beadboard, door repair, door replacement, handyman-type projects, etc. Very highly recommend. George is great to work with.
Description of Work: Most recently was drywall repairs, towel bar installation, door repair, window treatment removal, but as stated above we’ve used them for many other things.

We used Monk’s to gut and redo our daughter’s bath in New Jersey from our home in Florida. Despite working remotely, the entire project went smoothly. From the design by designer, Amanda Cook, through the construction, overseen by Joey Valerio, the responsiveness, communication and work was excellent. The job was started and completed on time as predicted. We definitely recommend them and would use them again.

I am thrilled with the job Monk’s did on our powder room and hall bathroom! Cortney Tripodi guided us through ordering all the items that satisfied our needs, style and budget. I don’t think we could have done it without her expertise. And she was pivotal in seamlessly resolving product issues !! Our product manager Vincent Pileggi always came by the job to resolve any issues and keep the job going. The workmen were also great, skilled and responsible.

We went with Monks based on all the great reviews. Interesting was afterwards speaking with folks who were not pleased. The biggest issue is once they are gone they do not respond. That is our situation also. They go dark. No sense going into details on our bathroom. We are not alone
