The company was very good and the salesman was excellent. They don’t give you a written quote, only a verbal quote, so we decided to go with another firm.

We went no further than the original consultation and price quote.
Description of Work: A representative came to look at kitchen and make suggestions and give an estimate for the remodeling. Our impression was that the rep seemed more interested in own design rather than listening to what we envisioned and told us some things could not be done for various reasons which other contractors had said would be no problem (and indeed, turned out not to be). The estimate was also higher than others. We chose not to go with Allure.

Brian was the salesperson that we dealt with originally. He answered all our questions and made some excellent suggestions that we didn't think about. One was matching the siding to the color of the roof. Out of 4 others companies, they were the only one that mentioned this. We were not pressured to start immediately as we were with some of the other companies. Originally I was going to have the work done in July, but something came up and we had to change the date to August. That was no problem with Brian. The supervisors, who were responsible for the work, came by with Brian, before the work started to introduce themselves to us. The windows were replaced first, which was done in one day. There were two men who showed up and they worked very efficiently. One disappointment I did have was with the two basement windows. The wood around the windows had rotted and the new windows were put in the rotted wood. I did not pick that up immediately, but while the next crew was putting up the siding, I brought it to their attention and the problem was corrected. When the siding crew arrived the first day I went around the entire house, with the forman, explaining what I wanted done (patching holes, replacing rotted wood, etc.). There were a few things that I had expected to be done (taping the insulation strips and covering a hole with plywood), that originally were not being done. When I brought it to their attention they corrected the situation without any hassel. It was necessary to regularly walk around to review the work being done. When I had any questions for the forman he willingly took the time to answer them to my satisfaction. The workers did not rush and were very patient putting up the siding. They did an excellent job and I would recommend using Alure to anyone who asked.
Description of Work: Replaced all the windows in the house with double hung windows and replaced the siding

They were very professional and the workmanship was excellent. They were very organized and worked very hard. Their communication was exactly what we were looking for in a company. It was a very difficult experience with an overwhelming amount of projects but they made it very easy for us. I will most definitely be calling them again if any needs come up and I will be recommending them to others!

I didn't use their services but the gentleman I spoke with was extremely helpful. He was extremely knowledgeable. The estimate was good and he kind of suggested a different route that was what I ended up doing. He surprisingly talked himself out of work. I would definitely go with them if I have any home improvement work in the future.

I went to the showroom because I wanted to meet a company rep before I spoke on the phone. Although everyone was cordial, I was told that they would not come to Brooklyn to do the custom bathroom renovation that I need. The rep actually said that he was sorry, because normally, this is the type of work that they do. I was upset. Based upon the listing here, and also because they have a consumer license in NYC, I fully expected to find a great contractor.

Did a search for gutter replacement. Looking for some comparison quotes. I called Alure and they let me know that they don't do gutters. I was given the name and number of "someone who does". I asked for the company name that they were referring me to. There was none but I got the name of the person I should talk to when I called. When I commented that I found Alure on Angie's list and I had no idea who this company was they they were referring me to, I was told that all their referrals are carefully vetted. I asked how I could compare their work or know anything about the company and was told "Well, I guess that's up to you to determine if they meet your standards". Not very helpful and certainly shouldn't be listed under a category that they do not provide services for.

They were not good on following up. They were high priced, and even in the down market, they didn't seem too interested in my business. After the initial estimate, they never followed up with me. They treat everybody the same, they make everything too "cookie cutter," and they don't listen to what the customer actually wants.

They were extremely disorganized and non responsive when it came to scheduling an appointment. They were unreliable. The estimate was vague and there was no written document. They called and gave us a verbal quote. They had a service that involved computer imaging on what your home would look like and they told me they would not offer that unless we made a commitment. Two months later, after we had pretty much finished up the job with another company, they wanted to call and see if I still needed help. I felt like they did not have time for me and waited until they were slow to give us attention.

They assigned a product to me that was not listed in the contract. I had specifically asked for a certain product and they did not use it. This caused a dispute. I told them they could remove the product and use the assigned product or a comparable product of my choice or they could complete the remaining portion of the roof with the product they originally used so the color would match. They agreed to do this, but wanted to do the installation in a different manner which would cut some steps out and make it more cost effective for them. I did not agree to this. I wanted them to complete the project but they ended up discounting the original work and did not complete it.

We had hesitated for years about having the bathroom redone. Why? - It is in a New York Co-Op, which can always be tricky. They all have their own special rules - It is in Queens, close in to Manhattan, which can make parking and storing materials challenging - The apartment has a single bathroom. If this project didn’t go well, “nightmare” would not begin to describe my life. How did it go? Demolition started on Monday morning, down to the studs. By Friday I had a working bathroom. All that remained after Friday evening, was the small stuff. The hamper had to be replaced – the original was damaged in shipment – grout and caulking needed touch-ups, things like that. All with a minimum amount of mess throughout the process. No complaints from my neighbors or the building staff, so you know the Alure team was not disruptive. We had a major backup in the drains when they were first used Friday night, but Alure had a plumber in first thing Saturday to address it. I work work with Alure anytime. Especially Ken, Mark (our crew chief) and Carlos (whos seems capable of doing almost anything).
Description of Work: Existing bathroom demolished down to the wall studs. New electrical circuits installed. New tile, floor and fixtures installed. New light fixtures installed. Alure hunted down and installed an in-wall hamper. Door into bathroom replaced and rehung to change direction of swing.

Do trust Alure. They have always delivered for us, and their customer service is exceptional. They remodeled our kitchen 7 years ago, and still came out to do a repair last month at no charge. We used many contractors before finding Alure, and I consider Alure to be the most reasonably priced of the so-called "high-end" contractors. We've recommended them to many friends who are also pleased with their work. Bonus: they have a sort of "frequent flyer" program, where the dollars you spend and the dollars spent by people you recommend count towards an all-expenses paid one-week Caribbean vacation for two. We've already earned and attended one, and we are well on our way to qualifying for another.
Description of Work: This is our second job with Alure. It began with an thorough pre-work energy audit. The "exterior" work included new windows, front door and storm door, siding, capping and painting. On the inside, we combined two small rooms into one larger one, constructed a new closet, closed up several existsing windows, added a huge bay window, stripped old drywall on exterior walls, reinsulated and re-drywalled, installed new molding insulated in the attic, and sealed the house in general. At the end of the job, Alure conducted a post-work energy audit which clearly showed the improvements. They filed the required forms with our utility suppliers so that we will recover thousands of dollars in rebates, and they provided the documents we need to back up our federal energy tax credit claim - another huge "rebate. Rebates and tax credits for this job will reduce the cost of the energy related imporovements (insulation, sealing, energy efficienet windows and doors) by about 15-20%, and the audits showed that we will recover the balance in 5 years by reducing our electric and gas bills.

Started with Mary Lou Arcuri the kitchen designer...we brought a sample of the cabinet door and finish we wanted and picked everything around the cabinet door. She was patience and knowledgable. It took several trips to Alure. But the convenience of everything in their showroom from to pick from was so worth it. The project manager assigned was Joe Russo. I can't say enough about how attentive he was to my remodel. Always available for any questions or concerns I had. And the project was estimated at 6-8 weeks and they were right on target. There price was also better than every other estimate I had. And no allowance for granite or flooring like other contractor did. So when I signed the contract the price was the price with everything already picked out.Unless of course I added something later during the construction process.And every worker that came to my house from the plumber to the electrician to the carpenter was detailed and neat and respectful. I work in real estate and I continue to refer Alure to any clients who need these services.

Project went very well. Their computer modeling saved us a huge error. Turned out we hated the design we originally suggested. They created a computer model of our home with the proposed renovation. We totally changed the design, and now we get compliments all the time from the neighbors and others. Their work was professional. Came when promised, and even worked on a day when the temperatures were in the teens. Price was higher than others bids. Took some negotiating to bring it to reality, but we wer very happy with the final job. In the end, that is what counts.
