Exceptional job, as always. On time, on budget, cleanup completed (which should be a given in a construction job, but, unfortunately, not always the case). Knowledgeable and helpful.

Response from CHRONOS CONTRACTING
Great client. Have worked on an number of her projects over the course of the last 12 years. She lives in a 19th century brownstone with some beautiful original details. I am happy we were able to maintain these original qualities while enhancing things affected by time. Also glad that she is happy with the work.

Guy called me, listened to the scope of work (finishing another contractor's work), said it wasn't worth his time and told me he was "unavailable" for my job. Said that if we had a working relationship (versus my status as a random Angie's List member), he would have considered taking it. Gave a D versus an F because he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. Dislike the notion that he's shopping potential jobs and cherry-picking. Choosing him on this site and the call were both wasted time.

Response from CHRONOS CONTRACTING
I did respond to a request from this person. I telephoned him after receiving a message and we spoke at length about the work- and I went out of my way to give him helpful information. But as I made clear to him, it was too small a project for me. I was polite and spent extra time on the phone offering advice even after saying it is not something I’d be interested in. He said I was very knowledgeable about the work and really would like me to do it. He then became antsy and tried to get prices from me. Well after I said I wasn’t interested. I stated I can not give prices for something that I haven't seen. Then he became nasty and hung up on me. I find it strange that someone would demand that a service provider take on a project that they clearly state is too small for them- and then raise their voice followed by hanging up the phone.

Swimmingly! (Ahem.) Seriously. Peter and his crew were punctual, helpful, thorough, respectful of our space, trustworthy, attentive to every detail, and generally nice people. Peter is an excellent communicator and was always in touch whenever there was a question. He was full of helpful advice about how to fix our cheap clothes closet as well. The crew wore booties all of the time so as not to damage anything, and sealed off the area under construction from the rest of the apartment so that we had no extra dust or mess. They dealt with the tight spaces of a Brooklyn apartment like the professionals that they are: supplies and tools were stored in the hallway of our building, or in the work area. And as for the results: the ceiling looks like new (where there was once a patchy peeling hole) - one could never tell that there had been a leak! Similarly, the wall where the majority of the damage had been is pristine, and a delightful shade of our chosen Purple Rain... Chronos rules.

Peter Demos, Chronos Contracting, delivered an excellent job. This was the second time we have worked with Peter and, just like on the previous occasion, his focus is on achieving perfection for his clients. Peter and his crew stripped the half bathroom of tiles, removed the existing sink, medicine cabinet and toilet, retiled and installed a new sink, a new medicine cabinet, a new toilet and various accessories. They removed the sinks, medicine cabinets and toilets from the two full bathrooms, tiled the walls and installed a new sink, a new medicine cabinet, a new toilet and several accessories. In the kitchen they applied a tiled backsplash. For the previous job, Peter installed four ceiling fans, relocated several ceiling lights, restored drywalls and performed assorted electrical tasks.
Description of Work: Renovation / upgrade of two full bathrooms and one half bathroom, as well as applying a tiled backsplash in the kitchen.

As we experienced with our last project with Peter in the summer, our lighting project was on budget and on time once it started. Peter offered good advice on shopping for light fixtures that was very helpful. Communications during the job was excellent as he constantly updated us on his progress. Moreover, his crew as always took great care to minimize disruption and conscientiously maintained a clean work area. I would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects.
Description of Work: Following up on the excellent work Peter did for us with our closet project, we hired him again to install recess lighting and wall painting for our apartment's living room.

Response from CHRONOS CONTRACTING
The above description of events does not does not match up with my experience. I arrived at this member's building on time, and at the time that we had scheduled. Upon arrival, I was told that the other Contractor had been late, and was asked to wait in the lobby a bit so they could finish with him. I waited 15 minutes, at which point I saw the other Contractor leave the premises. I then waited another 10 minutes, at which point I called this member to remind them that I was waiting. They did not pick up their phone, and was sent to voicemail after a few rings. At that point I had been waiting almost a half an hour, so I chose to leave. After reaching my other jobsite across the neighborhood, I received a call asking me where I was. I explained that I had phoned after 25 minutes of waiting, and no one picked up. Given my preference to defer to the customer I was even open to returning, but I waited to hear a reply first. The response was a sincerely disingenuous "sorry" that was clearly meant to get me back for the free estimate, rather than a real apology. I then expressed that I needed to move on with my schedule, and couldn't return. In any renovation or remodeling project, it's always very important that both parties feel comfortable working with the other. I pride myself in gravitating towards clients who are happy to engage in a mutually beneficial business relationship. Being in business for almost 20 years, I feel that my company has lived up to that goal.

Finding a good contractor is like finding the holy grail… there are so many nightmare stories about people who don’t show up, who take your money and leave you hanging, and who do a crummy job. In fact, this was our experience 11 years ago when we first bought our apartment and we definitely did not want to go through that again. Thankfully we found Chronos Contracting! Peter is great! We had a good feeling about him when we met him which is why we decided to go with Chronos although we had gotten a lower bid from someone else. We are extremely happy with our decision and I can say unequivocally that we more than got our money’s worth because Peter went above and beyond in so many ways. He is incredibly conscientious and knowledgeable, had great suggestions, and his attention to detail is impressive. One of the things we needed done was sound proofing, and it was really nice to know that Peter had experience with the very solution we had come up with in our own research. For the Moroccan encaustic cement tile installation, he did his due diligence and consulted with the manufacturer before proceeding. He also checked in with us all the time to make sure we were happy with the way things were going, and he threw in little extras here and there. We added a bunch of stuff to our original work request but all went very quickly and without any hassle. His crew is great also... really nice guys who care about their work. I will definitely hire Chronos Contracting for any future work I might need done.
Description of Work: in the living room repaired, reinforced, and plastered our ceilings and sound-proofed wall by using green glue and a second layer of drywall; re-plastered walls in the living room, kitchen, halls, and bathroom; painted, built and installed custom closet doors and adjusted the the closet interior shelving units; oversaw tub reglazing; in the kitchen raised the cabinets, took out old floor and installed a Moroccan encaustic cement floor, plumbed new sink, installed handmade ceramic tile backsplash, oversaw installation of new counter and refrigerator, added outlets and under-cabinet lights.

Peter and his crew did an excellent job on our closet project, finishing on schedule and budget. Unlike other contractors I have dealt with, his attention to every detail of the project was meticulous from the initial estimate to the actual construction work performed. Peter also provided ongoing almost daily updates as the project progressed. Finally, his crew made a good effort to minimize the resulting dust and debris, which I appreciated very much. His bid was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. However, it was obviously the most thorough and well thought out. I am a satisfied customer and would not hesitate to use Peter for future projects.

Peter’s work was top notch. He also provided some creative solutions to some tricky problems. He updated me daily on the status of the work and let me know about any issues as soon as they arose. He was also very professional, prompt and worked quickly. I’d highly recommend him and would hire him again myself.
Description of Work: We were working directly with a window manufacturing to replace our windows, which had to be replaced around an existing A/C. When the job began, many unanticipated issues came up requiring the services of a general contractor. We hired Peter to do all of the prep work for the installation and all of the repair and sheetrocking after the job was done. Unexpectedly, we also had to remove custom, high quality bookshelves, which he removed and replaced after the windows were installed. He did a beautiful job.

After meeting with SO many highly rated and/or personally referred contractors, I had no trouble choosing Chronos Contracting to complete my logistically complicated commercial office buildout. From the first phone call Peter Demos demonstrated a clear understanding of the unique details of the job, specifically the importance of soundproof walls for my medical buildout (fyi there are a bunch of contractors out there who don't know from soundproofing). He also identified (and fixed!) a heating/cooling problem within the space that never would have occurred to me. The crew completed everything in record time and with preternatural neatness. I swear to god they cleaned the toilet on the regular. And those are just a couple of examples of extreme above and beyond. Almost dally, Peter's creative (dare I say elegant?) solutions met each structural, logistical, and financial roadblock head on and, in absolutely every case, succeeded beautifully and with my tight budget in mind. Amazingly, this was all done within the wholly unreasonable timeline of 4 weeks. The completed project is of such high quality that it defies the criticism of the even the most enthusiastic naysayers. To quote one particularly curmudgeonly tenant, "I keep looking for things that were done wrong but they aren't there". So sorry, curmudgeonly tenant. Better luck next time. As a newcomer to commercial real estate I was a nervous nelly at best and an easy target at worst. Working with Peter Demos and Chronos Contracting was and continues to be the best decision I've made in these early days of building my business and I look forward to NOT stressing about hiring a contractor ever again. Call them immediately!

Response from CHRONOS CONTRACTING
I am sorry this Angie's member feels disappointed in my pricing. On the other hand, I did go over an hour out of my way to offer a free estimate, as well as to give useful information regarding the project. There were no strings attached in coming to her home, nor my spending the time to compile a free quote. I would add that I feel the price to be more than competitive, given the request to renovate 1.5 bathrooms. As far as the materials not being included- labor & work materials are always clearly included in my quotes. It is items such as tile, plumbing fixtures, etc. that are not- given their wide price range. Usually that is taken for granted, and one also has to choose these items prior to getting a price on them. While I am not the Contractor one seeks out hoping for the lowest bid, I do offer high-quality renovations that last for years to come.

Peter from Chronos was one of three bids we got for doing the work to fix one part of the coop apartment that was significantly damaged by overflowing water sink from upstairs. Unfortunately, since we weren't living there at the time, we didn't know about it until the water damage caused water damage to the unit below us. ?So being in between the upper and the lower unit we got the brunt of the damage from ceiling to floor and everything in between. ?Peter came in with a very thorough bid but the pricing was between two other bids. ?The lower bid seemed not detailed enough and I was afraid of a quick patch and paint job while the higher bid was just as detailed as Peter's but came in much higher. ?So, long story short, I went with Peter to do the work. ?You have to know that I live in CA and could not be there to oversee the job being done so it was very important to work with someone who kept you in the loop and communicated to make sure things were done properly. ?Peter took care of everything and did the work the right way where it's hard to tell that there was any damage to the apartment. ?Since there was furniture there, he also had to move a lot of furniture around to do the work and put it back upon finishing the work. ?He also cleaned up the apartment, not quite to my standards but close enough. I recommend him highly for his high quality work and ethics and not taking short cuts given the fact that I was an out of state owner.
Description of Work: We had significant water damage from the unit above while the unit was unoccupied so there was significant roof damage, wood floor damage, drywall, paint, etc.

I'm extremely grateful for all the positive aspects of working with Chronos, beginning to end, top to bottom. Of course most importantly was the perfect condition they improved my bathroom ceiling to. I finally have a ceiling again, but furthermore the job is just perfect. There isn't a single thing that seems it could have been done better. It looks beautiful and it's merely a ceiling. I would bet their real renovation work is all the more. From the first call, to discussion, to signing the contract, Peter was so nice to work with. I had some issues with timing the signing of the contract and I really appreciated his consistent patience. Of the three bids I sought out, he was less expensive by about $500, and his bid gave a thorough list of every single thing that was going to be done. For a small job, I was impressed and grateful. He was the only bid that came to inspect the place, which seemed a very positive sign. Furthermore, in the quote, where everything was listed, he was planning to use ideal materials and all the paint to finish the repair is 0%VOC emissive (i think that's what it's called) paint. So, he chose to use the most environmentally friendly products without my even having to request it, which i would have. There is nothing more I could have asked for in his help. I was surprised at the price of all the bids, and wouldn't not have been able to afford the repair myself, but it was due to my upstairs neighbor who took responsibility. I guess the costs of living in nyc will never cease to surprise, but Chronos price beat other bids by 30%, was uber professional, personable, competent, communicative, reliable, etc, for, in total, what was still a small job. I'm extremely grateful and happy with the repair. He even offered to follow through with fixing one extra part of the damage that I didn't even try to resolve with my neighbors. What a good human being and tops, tops contractor. If I ever have to do something else to my apartment I would call them pronto. The three members of his team were super efficient and polite and nice, and it seems everyone had a positive respectful rapport with each other. Just the sort of team you want to pay for help.
Description of Work: Peter and his swell, excellent team fixed my bathroom ceiling that was full of water damage with a big repair hole. He replaced a chunk of the ceiling with mold resistant ?drywall? and fixed all damage from water all over the ceiling, sealed it, and painted it.

I contacted Peter Demos, the owner of Chronos Contracting, in the morning. Once I told him what our budget was around $7000 per apartment, he rushed me off the phone. Since he refused to come out and give us a proper estimate, he asked that I take some measurements, which I then texted him. His estimate was a text message, and was vague and unprofessional i.e, their was no break down for materials or labor. When I asked him to send me a proper estimate via email for our condo board so we could choose the best bid, he refused and said we didn't have enough money. He continued to attack my character in hostile text messages. Then he complained that Bushwick, Brooklyn was too far for him, which I find funny since his company is located in Brooklyn a few miles away. Very disappointing. I would never work with this person or refer them to anyone.
Description of Work: He provided me a text estimate, and then insulted our condo board. Essentially, Peter Demos (the owner) said we could not afford his services. Estimate: $10,000.00

Response from CHRONOS CONTRACTING
Unfortunately, this individual is purposely making up falsehoods and using smear tactics. He blatantly lies stating that I sent him "hostile" text messages "attacking his character" and that "I insulted his condo board." These and the rest of his statements are distortions and untrue. He telephoned me the other day, and rather than talk about the work he was hoping to have done, he began by asking me a series of "trick questions" regarding soundproofing. His tone was a bit strange & aggressive, but I answered them to his satisfaction. At that point he claimed, "that I passed the test." I assumed the conversation would flow more easily from there, and I began to go into detail the best means of soundproofing his and his neighbor's apartment. He was hard to communicate with as he had a need to interrupt the answers he had requested and generally had a need to talk over me. He seemed combative within a simple conversation regarding soundproofing, which immediately put me off. During the conversation he mentioned pricing and stated he received an "outrageous & ridiculous" bid from another Contractor. I asked him how much they asked for. He said $10,000. I asked him what he hoped to pay, and he replied $3,000. At that point I knew this was not a project I would be at all interested in. He expected to have most of his walls demolished, soundproofed, sheet rocked, plastered and painted for $3,000. I was frank and told him that I was not interested in the project based on his desired pricing. I clearly stated that painting the apartment would cost more than $3,000. He became a bit frantic and pushy and wouldn't let me off the phone. He wanted me to come there to see for myself, and maybe they could pay a little more. I then said that he could send me a text message with photos and measurements and I could send him a ballpark quote via a return text. He finally let go. Cloying had turned to rude and I was happy to breathe again. He did send a text message and from the dimensions given, the job was even larger than he had described verbally. I returned his text message stating that $10k was not at all an exorbitant amount of money, and that I was not available for the work. He then sent a text asking me to come for an in-person estimate, as they would take the best of three bids. I stated, "I am sorry, but I am not within your price range." I then received two text messages threatening to give me a bad review on Angie's List i.e. "You'll see the review on Angie's..." Essentially he was happy to get free information on soundproofing and became angry at himself for letting the $3k mark out of the bag, as he could have gotten more advice from a free visit. Once I caught on he became vindictive, which given his demeanor on the phone wasn't entirely surprising

The work went very well. It was done in a timely fashion. The workmen were careful and did not leave a mess. The materials were of high quality. I was very happy with the results. I would definitely call Chronos for any other contracting work that I needed.
Description of Work: Chronos Contracting worked on a closet in my apartment. I explained my requirements, and Peter came up with a design and carried it out. The design was tricky in that the back of the closet was rounded, so custom carpentry was required. I had had trouble finding a contractor who was willing to undertake the work.

Peter was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. Being in the NYC market, and understanding the volume of work that contractors are working with, we placed very high value on a company that was responsive (among other things). He and his team came for 3 consultations, arrived exactly on time for all 3, and were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and personable. We hired them for the work, and subsequently produced results that were of very high quality (and finished within the timeframe initially communicated). We would most certainly use them again for other work, and would highly recommend them for anyone seeking similar work.
Description of Work: Peter and team renovated the interior common area of our brownstone, including painting and re-finishing of the walls, replacement of carpeting, and re-finishing of hardwood floors.

Peter and the team were terrific to deal with, consistently starting the job at the agreed time and thoroughly cleaning up each day once the work was done. The job was finished in the quoted time and with little price adjustment which was a pleasant surprise. As we were unfamiliar with the technicalities and process, Peter was helpful and patient, advising what needed to be done, the materials required and where to source which made the whole experience easy and stress free. Thanks to the team for a job very well done and I will definitely use Chronos Contracting again.
Description of Work: Extensive plaster repair and replacement; replaced bathroom cabinets; changed light switches; installed new light fittings; bathroom tile repairs.

Peter was willing to take time out of his schedule for this small job, which we really appreciated. He responded immediately, showed up on time, and called when he was on his way. Both him and his co-worker were very nice and helpful. I will definitely call him in the future.

This was a great experience. Peter and his team were on time daily and were meticulous with their work and cleanliness. We had our bathroom repainted as well as portions of our living room and kitchen. We had several drywall repairs that came out flawless as well a new lighting fixture installed. We highly recommend and will use them again.
