CHRONOS CONTRACTING

Peter was instantly responsive, punctual, fair and extremely professional. He made sure the job was correct and, due to circumstances beyond either of our control (a defect in the Hunter fan mechanism), came back a second time at no extra charge. I would give Chronos Contracting the highest recommendation possible, and we plan on using them again in the future.

Peter was extraordinarily responsive from the time we contacted him for a quote until he handed us back the keys after the job had been completed. He could always be reached either by phone or e-mail and would respond promptly. In addition, Peter was punctual. He provided us with professional advise on all aspects of the work when we requested such advise and even when he felt we might be overlooking something. We are also very satisfied with the quality of his work. Furthermore, Peter properly covered the areas where he was working to avoid any damage and cleaned up after every working day. Finally, Peter was asked to carry out his work while another contractor, Nadoban Painting, was painting the walls, ceilings and doors of both floors of the apartment. As a former project manager in the textile industry, I have seen many examples of how contractors can make life difficult for each other, but these two contractors cooperated in an exemplary fashion.

I manage a small apartment building in the East Village One of my tenants had a large (approximately 3' X 3") hole in her hall ceiling where a small leak in the building roof had gradually weakened the plaster/drywall causing it to collapse. It was a big mess, also the job was fairly difficult because the ceiling is quite high and the hallway is very narrow. We were very happy with the quality of the work, and the speed with which Chronos got it done.We thought the price was fair, and the job still looks good over a year later.

I found Peter years ago on a flyer that I found on the street. As a landolord it took me a long time to find a good an relaible electrician. For the last 6 years all the time I am having any electrical problem he solves it right away, and always gives me good advise.

I called Peter for an estimate and we came to the agreement that I would provide the material (tiles, counter tops, sink, focets etc.) Only in one instance he cut a counter top with the wrong dimension, but after telling me, he provided immediately the same kind of top and finished the job perfectly in time as noting had happened.

The job had to be done on a short notice, and I having worked as a decorative painter in the past, I pay allot of attention to details. Peter understood my needs and I was very pleased by the result and the good timing in performing the job. Livia Monaco ( landlord in NYC)

Peter is neat, fast, and efficient. He reponded to our questions (we have had bad contractor experiences in the past and were very nervous) with very honest answers and reassurance. He was prompt and works full days (which is probably why he can accomplish jobs quickly). His contract wording is very specific and I greatly appreciated that. He left our kitchen clean and neat- without a trace that he was ever there.

Peter came over to evaluate the various jobs I had and said he would email me an estimate. It's been over a week and I never heard from him again. Also, when he was at my apartment, he detached a sprinkler head off from my ceiling to look at what was inside the ceiling and broke the sprinkler head. He only mentioned that breaking it would be a possibility WHILE he was removing it (and didn't warn me beforehand). Very disappointed at overall experience.

From providing the estimate to completion of the job, Peter and his team couldn?t have been more courteous and professional. Peter thoroughly explained the process and provided us with the best options to achieve our desired results while clearly answering any and all questions. In the morning, he arrived promptly and at the close of each day the workspace was cleaned so as not to impose an inconvenience on our daily life. Having met with several contractors, we can confirm that Peter?s costs are in line with the market, while the quality of work is top notch. We can?t express enough, how pleased we were with the finished product. In short, Chronos Contracting is efficient, cost competitive and goes above and beyond what is promised while completing the job at the highest level of quality. We highly recommend Peter Demos and Chronos Contracting for any home improvement construction needs.

The job went smoothly. Peter suggested where the extra lights could go ( the hallway is long,and straight, but originally included a curved closet which we removed at some point after the original recessed lgihts were installed. THis created an odd dark area. He made good suggestions and seemed to understand what I wanted, and where the lights could go. He was clear, explained what he would do, what problems he was concerned with encountering, and what he might have to do if they occurred.

Except for a small patch of floor which needed to be redone (because the replacement planks were different wood) it went extremely smoothly. The workers were neat, set up good shields between the room being refinished and the adjacent rooms, and took care to clean up thoroughly. The contractor was responsive to our concerns about the small patch that did not look good, and made sure to fix it.

Peter was very professional in doing the estimate, and timely. We started within a few days of agreeing on the scope of project. He helped me choose the exact fixtures and switches that I'd be happy with, and was knowledgeable on their specs and keeping with building code. He and his crew were clean - put down construction paper and kept their tools in their own corner, covered them every night. Peter asks very pointed questions to make sure you're happy with the result and know what's involved.

I had to have my shower plumbing fixed due to a leak into my downstairs neighbor's bathroom. The plumbers were not general contractors, so I was left with a big hole in the shower wall covered by a garbage bag and duct tape. I got Chronos Contracting through Angie's list, and Peter responded quickly as far as scheduling the estimate and the repair. The job was a relatively small one, although it did involve three separate visits, for replacing the cement board and tiles, putting in the grout, and a final check a few days later (forgive me for not remembering the details of the last part). I was very pleased with the final product, and very pleased with Peter. He was punctual, professional and thorough.

The process was quick and easy. He arrived promptly and removed the old light fixtures. He checked out the sockets to make sure everything was wired properly and then installed the new fixtures. He was very clean, polite, and did exactly what I asked. I highly recommend him.

The overall experience was very positive. Peter was very precise in measuring, centering, and installing the shelving. The shelves came out perfectly aligned, even and precise.

Excellent job. Had to work within the constraints of an old house and a co-op, and not all materials being there in a timely fashion. Respect for the architectural integrity of an older home and thorough knowledge of trade, plus creative flare. Peter really saved the day. The pipes had rotted and burst during the dishwasher installation. We were leaking on our downstairs neighbors. Everything was fixed within a day. Great job. Helped pick out colors and types of paint, all turned out to be great choices, wonderful attention to detail. We have an older home (end of 19th century brownstone), so there are all kinds of issues. All services were performed impeccably, and the effort was made way above and beyond the call of duty, like working with a chandelier chain that didn't exactly fit, or figuring out how to fix the exhaust hood light of a model that wasn't manufactured any longer, so no possibility of getting the parts. Quality and attention to detail is impeccable. Went above and beyond in accommodating us, for example finding a substitute part to replace the light in the hood which was no longer being manufactured (worth it, looks great now).

The entire process went very well. We were very pleased with Peter's professionalism and punctuality. Peter was very prompt each day and, most importantly, finished the work in a timely fashion. He pays great attention to detail and also brings an aesthetic view to the work. My wife and I are very picky and extremely detail oriented and we thought Peter met our every expectation - we would highly recommend Peter to anyone who needs general contracting work done. Excellent! Would definitely use Peter again.

Chronos did a great job and we were very pleased. They were reliable, picky about their own work and the quality was excellent. Peter is very easy to deal with and to have around. They were also tidy, which was great for our co-op. Everything has held up great. We have no complaints and we have used them again for other projects.

We have no complaints and we have used them again for other projects.

It went really well, just as we had hoped and expected. We left keys for him. Peter and crew came and worked all day while we were out, then tidied up and cleaned each evening by 6:00 pm so that when my daughter and I came home, it didn't interfere with our normal evening schedule. They were very accommodating and easygoing. They did the project in a timely manner and well done. After the project was completed, they took away all debris and leftover sheet rock and other stuff used during construction.

Everything went very smoothly and on schedule. Very pleased with the finished job. Peter was very good about cleaning up at the end of each day and upon completion.

We are happy with the results. Things went quite smoothly. I felt confident that things would get done properly and well with Peter personally working on the job everyday. We had frequent consultations on how things would be done, i.e. where the exposed conduit would run on the ceiling to a lighting fixture (we don't have dropped ceilings so everything had to be surface mounted on the underside of the structural slab). The job took a bit longer than expected, mainly due to the paint being hard to work with - I specified Benjamin Moore Eco Spec which apparently was 'like painting with water'. Peter didn't have too much experience working with this type of paint beforehand. The existing conditions such as non-straight corners appeared to be challenging. We also added on a few things to the contract, which Peter quoted on separately. Peter took the time to make sure that everything was done to our satisfaction.

Chronos Contracting was great. Professional, punctual, clean, and we're very pleased with their work. I'd hire them again for any additional work we do on our apartment.

We discovered some problems along the way, which he handled very professionally. He was always eager to save me money and stick to the schedule. He never asked for more money ahead of when it was due and always made sure I was paying exactly what we agreed, not more. I would love to do more projects with him.
