Description of Work: Demolition of old kitchen. Opened wall between kitchen and dining room. Created a new doorway entry to our sun room off kitchen. Installed all new Ikea Cabinets , Counter tops and reworked all plumbing and electrical.

Description of Work: They redid our kitchen.

Description of Work: We decided to go with Ikea Cabinetry and a full kitchen remodel after seeing their beautiful displays and striking out with big names like Home Depot, Lowes and Consumers. We felt that if we were about to make such a large purchase, then we might as well pay for the kitchen that we liked and served our needs as opposed to the designers' needs and likes. Cedar Contracting does Ikea installs from floor tile with matching grout lines to double header ceiling fans and everything in between. Patrick, the owner is an electrician that does all the electrical work himself as well as the measurements. Something about Patrick, however, never sat well with me. Unable to pinpoint my uneasy feeling and his willingness to begin constructing the kitchen of my dreams, we moved forward. In fact they were so over zealous that the demolition crew didn't wheel out or protect our Stainless Steel refrigerator out of the kitchen as they put a jack hammer to the existing tile nor did they ever covered my wood floors as they dragged and dropped broken tile out the house damaging my hard wood floors. The 50 year old dust and debris that fell into my unprotected and finished basement after removing the sub floor and damaging my brand new front loader washer and dryer from the tip of the sharp end of the ShopVac was enough for me to halt the project after day one. We made nice, they cleaned up their mess and they finished the work. When it was all said and done, the kitchen is beautiful and is filled with so many features that we just referred to the damaged property as casualties of war. Fast forward two years and another kid and we call an electrician to fix some exterior lighting. Upon examining our house he realizes that the electrical wires running into the kitchen are NOT grounded. He also found exposed live wires as well as junction boxes not mounted properly if mounted at all, inadequate wiring unsuitable for electrical surges and basically a beautiful new kitchen with electrical work that does not meet code. Unfortunately for us, we were not able to see the deliberate and continuos disregard for safety Patrick Eivers demonstrated as he made the same mistakes time after time. Patrick Eivers left my home in a DANGEROUS condition and we do not believe he is an electrician by trade. Our kitchen now needs to be rewired by a real electrician at a considerable cost.

Description of Work: they came to measure our kitchen for ikea custom design.

Description of Work: We moved back from Switzerland and bought a house in Locust Valley, New York. The kitchen really needs to be remodeled. I went to Home Depot on 57th and 3rd and the kitchen was incorrectly measured. We decided to try IKEA in Hicksville after there was no correction to the Home Depot kitchen plan. A man came out and measured the kitchen. It was not the owner, but it could have been a partner. Cedar Construction does many of the IKEA installs. When we sat down with Vinny at IKEA (He actually works for Cedar), we went over the plans, which took about 2 hours. I was very happy with the design we came up with. There was just one problem - when arriving home and looking over the plans, we noticed (again) that the kitchen space was not measured correctly. We tried to rectify this several times with the man who measured the space and eventually the owner, Patrick, did come over himself to measure the area and confirmed the mismeasurment. He told us that he would take care of this and that Vinny would call us to reschedule. After several attempts to reach someone to plan the kitchen properly - there was no reply. Cedar Construction (and us eventually) dropped the ball. In my mind, with the economy being what it is, they should have bent over backwards to service our needs - especially since the original plan had us moving windows. Could have been about at 45,000 dollar job. I guess things are not as bad as reported in the media.

Description of Work: Complete kitchen renovation using Ikea cabinets & appliances. Additional carpentry with opening wall and finishing pantry/closet.

Description of Work: I used Cedar Construction for a general kitchen renovation. They ripped the whole thing off to the plywood. It included the flooring and new cabinets.

Description of Work: We asked Cedar Construction for an estimate to demolish our old kitchen, install new cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, and appliances. They were very responsive at the outset, and came the next day to give an estimate. Patrick, one of the owners of the company did the measurements and gave us good advice on the IKEA cabinets that we were interested in. He tried to accommodate all our needs in the renovation without trying to oversell. We received an estimate the next day in an excel format that was easy to understand. They were prompt, efficient, and professional.
