I hired BOLTY to help me do a large-scale renovation of my NY apartment (which hadn't had any work done in over 15+ years) in preparation to sell the apartment this Spring. The amount of trust and responsibility I put in BOLTY was beyond the typical as I was coordinating the apartment renovation from Washington DC where I currently live. So I counted on him for absolutely everything. From the moment I was referred to BOLTY (by a real estate agent in my apartment building), he was extremely responsive and ndash; providing an estimate and scope of work in an exceptionally timely manner. And every subsequent email I sent him was responded to within 24-48 hours max. This included over the holidays (Christmas/New Years) and during Hurricane Sandy. He was a true professional, courteous, and always responsive and ndash; even documenting every step of the way and ndash; sending me before and after pictures to show the progress of his work so that I felt completely at ease, making my installment payments from Washington DC, not even having seen the apartment in person. Most importantly, he navigated and handled all the Board approvals of our extremely demanding building management (co-op) and completed this large scale project on time and following all my instructions and ndash; he even went above and beyond several times, throwing in additional tasks and fix-ups for free and ndash; into what I already considered an extremely fair price. I couldn't be happier with the work BOLTY did on my apartment and ndash; and would hire him again in a heartbeat if I ever were to need anything else done in NY. I recommend BOLTY to anyone who is looking for an all-in-one home improvement business.
Description of Work: The work BOLTY did included several extremely labor-intensive projects - including removal and disposal of wall-to-wall carpeting, built in cabinetry, built in living room platforms, old wallpaper, and an extremely complicated task of removing floor to ceiling mirrors on one entire wall of the apartment. After this was done, he repaired and patched all the walls throughout the entire apartment; he repaired, sanded and coated the wooden flooring that was beneath the 15-year old carpet to make it look brand new; he installed and painted new floor molding; and he painted the entire apartment (he even helped me select out paint colors when we got to this step, sending me paint color samples, basically doing everything he could to make my life easier). He also helped remove and take down 2 sets of broken closet doors and re-installed new, working ones. Besides the work done on the main living area, he also renovated and cleaned up our kitchen and bathroom – without having to buy any new appliances. The vents, the tub, the stove, sink, everything was filthy and unkept, and he managed to turn it all around (acid washing the grout, putting in a new sink, removing old wallpaper and repainting, fixing broken tiles and towel racks) and doing everything he could to make it look brand new.

Response from Bolty Home Improvement
This customer is not a BOLTY client. He refuses to respond to multiple requests from Angie's List to remove this post and he refuses to provide a copy of a receipt, check or any evidence at all that BOLTY had any involvement with him at all. Do not work for this person if you know what is good for you.

Courteous and prompt. His pricing was in-line with his estimate. He even found ways to save us money.
Description of Work: Nick and his team did a wonderful job sorting out finishing touches on an apartment we had just purchased. He was able to help me coordinate new fixtures in the Bathroom and Kitchen as well as helped with wiring for our Stereo sound system. He had great ideas for placement and ease of installation. He will be my first call when we get ready for our next project.
I purchased a major fixer-upper and BOLTY was there with me every step of the way in turning a major eyesore into a beautiful living space. Nick and his team came in and explained everything that needed to be done. They made suggestions along the way that would save me time and money, but would still give me the outcome that I desired. Every room in my apartment (including the bedroom and kitchen ceilings!) was covered in 80's wallpaper and it needed to come down! Nick's painter took over this task quickly and neatly without damaging the floors or walls. I was amazed at how fast every room was painted once the wallpaper was down. The bathroom was an 80's disaster as well. They retiled the floor and walls, replaced the sink and toilet, and installed a new light fixture in 4 days! The best part was I only had to find a place to stay one night, while the floors dried, because they replaced the toilet daily! The old parquet floors were replaced with beautiful new wood floors that Nick helped me pick out. Every night everything was cleaned up and all of the old materials were removed. They even installed my window treatments and came up with a clever way to hide the ugly ceiling hardware behind the beautiful crown molding that they installed. It was a pleasure to have Nick and his team work on my apartment. I never felt pressured or intimidated, and my job was never put on hold for another project. There were no complaints from my neighbors or my co-op. BOLTY is a company that I have recommended to my friends and family.
