G-Tek Renovations, LLC

They started on June 19 and finished July 31, 6 weeks exactly when they quoted me 3 weeks. Slight delays and optimistic timeframes are one thing, taking exactly double the time you say it will take is quite another thing entirely. They could rarely give me any advice or direction about where to source a new bathtub, sink, tile, or other fixtures, didn't seem to know or care. Eric Guzi, the main guy, brings his ancient father along, who you can barely understand a word from, and who is condescending, baffling, and out of it. The other people who do the actual work here are day laborers who are not professionals. They did an atrocious job on the the tiling of the floor, and left dried grout and dust and paint on the new wall tile. You point out that they've splattered plaster all over your new fixture, and they install something in front of it, without cleaning it up, and hope you just won't remember or be paying attention. Unfortunately, I'm the kind of person who does pay attention when I'm spending $10,000 plus on a remodel in an apartment I just bought in a zipcode that has one of highest rates of appreciation in New York City right now. They have no attention to detail, make alarming suggestions such as breaking the building's original wall just to fit a single medicine cabinet, and don't listen to you when you flag problems. By the end of my ordeal with these men, I was essentially a part of the crew, on quality control, since they seemed to have zero feel for it. I had to take off work, and stay on site for multiple days, just to monitor the Three Stooges of G-Tek. I pointed out a towel bar was not straight and had two men turn and actually shout into my face that it was straight. Days later, one sheepishly admits it is not straight with photo of a leveler on it. He mumbles that "You have good eyes," I do not by any means have good eyes. I am near sighted and nearly legally blind, and yet I can tell better than the so-called professional contractor here when something is straight versus when it is not. Unbelievable. I had them redo the floor tile because it looked so awful the first time they claimed to be finished with it. My tub's fixtures are crooked, they lean to the left, my ceiling fan is crooked, the grout is matte in some places, glossy in others. I'm attaching images of what they wanted to leave me with after 5 weeks of work, not what I ended up with after 6 weeks when I insisted they do a better job, because these images are the best reflection of what they think is good enough, and an accurate reflection of what you will get unless you take the reins on this project yourself. If you must hire these people, I highly recommend, if you are a woman, disguising yourself as a man for the duration of their service, as I guarantee you they will not take your reasonable expectations or simple noting of errors with any seriousness whatsoever. The old man will call you "sweetheart" and patronize you if you dare make any observation about the extreme delays in finishing their project. They will do a whatever job, make excuses, leave a mess, and say "all cleaned up!" I spent days cleaning up after these people, I am not exaggerating at all. They left scratches on my newly rescreened wood floors, as well as a VERY deep gouge in the floor near the bathroom where they worked, which they at first attempted to blame me for despite the fact that I had photos before and after they started work of the exact area to prove they were the only people who could have done it. Awful people to work with, total amateurs, offensive standards of quality, do not let them into your home or close to anything of value to you.
