Elite Tech Remodeling

It did not, and we didn't go to the trouble of getting a refund

Went well. Contractor completed the work and installed the right parts. No issues, except cleaning, which I ended up doing. Otherwise, everything that needed to be done was done to our satisfaction. Would definitely consider him again.

George and his team were absolutely amazing! In addition to being friendly, while staying professional, they were ingenious in creating a solution to the installation that didn't involve the destruction of the existing tiles, walls, and cabinets in the kitchen. They were also very informative regarding all steps of the project and answered any questions that came up. They even helped with issues that were loosely related to the project, i.e.: helping to troubleshoot how the water heater functioned and cleaning a drainage problem with the dishwasher that turned out to be completely unrelated. The team didn't have any issues going back to adjust items that we felt didn't look correct and, if the adjustment couldn't be made to the specifications of the request, they did their best to explain why. The project ran slightly over schedule, but this was completely my fault as I ordered the wrong dryer. They didn't have any issues with changing their schedule to meet the arrival of the replacement dryer. As soon as it arrived they opened a spot in their schedule for that same week, completing the installation and all of the remaining work. The also gave us assurance of the quality of their work stating upon project completion that if we found any thing to be incorrect or not agreeable, to just give them a call and they'll come make it right. I would highly recommend Elite Tech USA Inc for anyone that needs work done and would use them in the future for any other projects that we might fancy.

George and his crew Dennis and Alex did a phenomenal job.

George and his crew did two magnificent projects for us. They did a complete transformation of our basement and a full renovation of our third floor rental apartment. George is completely hands on and oversees the entire process. He responds promptly to emails, texts and calls and is always looks for the best way to save money on any project. He will work with you to keep the project on budget and to complete it quickly and with NO DRAMA. His crew is clean, friendly and professional and attend to every detail. And he always gives you the best price. At this point, we consider George a member of our family and will always go to him for any construction project. You won't be disappointed. He's the honest experienced contractor that you thought you'd never find in NYC!

HORRIBLY!!!!! This morning at 6am on a Sunday morning I was awakened by the smoke detectors going off on (my home has hard wired smoke detectors). Thankfully there wasn't a fire but what I discovered was a flood instead. The faulty plumbing provided by Elite Tech caused a flood damaging my carpeting, the ceiling beneath where work was done, lighting and potentially the smoke detector. So I've spent the better part of my morning shutting off water lines, mopping and assessing damages that will now have to be repaired.

Excellent workmanship. George and his crew were very professional and cooperative. I would highly recommend Elite Tech to anyone who needs work done in their home.

Project went exceptionally well. When a problem presented itself John was incredible responsive, professional as well as gracious. We will definitively have him back for other work in the future.

Joe took about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to take care of the problem. As an added bonus he also fixed and replaced my flood lights. Job well done.

We gut renovated our garden floor apartment to create a rental unit. We live in a 100 + brownstone in Brooklyn. From start to end, its been a very easy & pleasant process. I'm an interior designer, and I've work with several contractors prior to this and its been nothing but disappointing and infuriating process. But the work George and his team has done at our home has been absolutely amazing. - Demo was done fast and easy. The garbage removal happened exactly on the days he promised. No mess anywhere around the home. - He helped me get in contact with his suppliers for hardwood flooring, kitchen cabinets and I got SUPERB quality materials for a great price. Things were done in a timely manner, exactly the way we discussed and he promised. - They leveled the ceiling and the floors perfectly and very meticulously. Then sound proofed the ceiling with a special sheet rock and sound proof foam insulation. It was done so perfectly, the noise level on the floor decreased by at least 70%. - Pluming in the kitchen was completely redone. - Electrical wiring was completely redone also, and installed several light fixtures. - Hardwood floors were installed ( with a sound proof liner ) and sanded, stained, buffed and poly. Turned out beautiful, clean and flawless. - Tile floors were installed in the foyer and the entrance. Sturdy and clean. - We have an extension that was used as a laundry room. They completely insulated the space, new walls, new door, new lighting and flooring. Everything was done perfectly, exactly the way I wanted. From pluming, electric to little details like painting, I am 100% happy with the results. I highly recommend George and his team. I would ONLY work with them at my home and for my clients in the future.

As far as I can tell everything is working well and I have no complaints. I only had to pay extra for parts that weren't available for him and I went past my time limit for the Big Deal. There was one worker to come out. He was here within roughly the time frame. They called before they came. He finished the way it should be. The guy was knowledgeable. He had no problem doing that particular job.

Excellent! Very happy with the results. This is the second time we used George's company. Work started precisely on time and lasted just as long as George estimated. The cost estimate was done a year ago, but there were no overruns - very professional. George and his workers are very flexible and were able to accommodate many requests - and if they couldn't, they explained why not and we agreed with the reason. We pre-reviewed our designs for the kitchen and the bathroom beforehand, and George suggested the places to get cabinets and counter and other supplies - we are happy with them as well. Totally recommend!

George had to put up with a lot of rust and although the job proved challenging, he was up to the task and found solutions to get the work done. I was asked to help and was happy to assist. The job took longer than anticipated but he didn't charge me for the extra hour because he accidentally broke the soap dish off the wall when removing the sink to better work on the project. He did the best he could to glue the soap dish back to the wall and although the crack and repair are evident, it's functional and not the worst thing in the world.

I bought this service as a deal on Angie's List on July 3rd. George contacted my on July 6 and was able to come by on July 7th, so I was impressed with his responsiveness. We constantly have problems with our toilets running, and I have used several local plumbers and the problem always recurs. George was professional and gave us advice on how to minimize the problems we showed him. So far our toilet seems to be fine, so the new flapper solved the problem. I would use Elite Tech again if I have any further plumbing issues.

George's team did not complete everything for the job. The job took about 9 weeks total, although the estimate was 5 weeks. Part of the delay related to George's leaving in the middle of the project to go to Georgia (meaning the country) for three weeks. That meant I was in charge of his crew in the middle of a project. His crew members were not so capable on their own. George and his crew also often arrived late and left early. I asked security to monitor their start and end times. They didn't work 9:00-5:00, as they were supposed to. Another big issue was that George and his team were messy. The super told George to stop work at 4:30 and do a quick mop of the floor. They never did it once and tracked plaster and dirt throughout the hallways. When the handymen complained, George's crew tossed out money or barked back to shut them up. The super started complaining to me in writing via e-mail, which I didn't like, and the super and I decided we had to set an end date for George because he simply was too messy and taking too long. The super showed me other apartments where construction was taking place, and the crews were much cleaner. The workmanship of the crew was so-so. While my place looks tremendously better, the walls that they built were uneven in places. The attention to detail was sometimes weak. I visited the site everyday and pointed out any problems, as the crew worked. I was told everything would be fine in e the end, but it wasn't. The crew wasn't clever with projects.: George built me new radiator covers, but they are annoyingly difficult to remove if I ever want to change to setting for heat. What annoyed me most was that George was so often oppositional -- to the point where he was disageeable, even when we agreed. So overall, my place looks much better than the wreck that I purchased. I can say that I'm generally happy with the overall look, but annoyed by details that could have been corrected quite easily. But the process was a tremendous headache, and the crew was difficult to work with at times.

Our morning started with a call from "George" to let us know he was on his way. About 25 minutes later he arrived ready to work. It only took him15 minutes to assess the situation. It was amazing! Not only did he remove a sink that possibly had been hanging in that basement since the late 1930's, he was right on point with the recommendation to replace the valves. With the pipes falling apart in his hands working in a bathroom / laundry room less than 60 square feet, over 80 degrees, WITH NO AC, he finished in record time. He removed the old enamel sink to the back yard { heavy, heavy!} and removed the metal hardware that had held the sink on the wall. All the hardware for the sink he put together after doing a lot of trimming. And let me not forget the HUGE hair weasel he pulled out of the wall connection pipe. Yuck! You've got to admire that kind of dedication. { Granted, it wasn't my hair, but it is my house and I know I would have been hard pressed to deal with it!} George drained water, cut drywall and shimmed the cabinet practically hanging up side down with his magic tool bag. We have had plumbers work in the house before, and a few hours work was usually a days worth of clean-up. George cleaned up after himself. Without being told. Now I know who to call when the washer-dryer needs to be hooked up. Thank you George!

George and his team were exceptionally responsive, punctual and professional. There were absolutely no cost or time overruns and they completed everything to the highest standards. If we have any contracting needs in the future we won't think twice before calling George up again. It was a pleasure working with them.

It went perfect. Honest, nice people.

It went well ... No complications and he was done within an hour. I was relieved and appreciated the job was done well.

There are a few things that I will say about George (and he has a foreman who works for him, a young Russian guy...he's brilliant) that really set him apart from the other high end and normal contracts that i have used in the past: 1) He actually turns up on time, starts work on time i.e. he runs a business that works like normal businesses not like he is doing me a favour as per the norm in NYC 2) He actually keeps to schedule, he said a time-frame and twice has stuck to it 3) Most if not all of his employees and contractors are all Russian/ex Soviet and i strongly suspect they are massively over qualified. The two plumbers that turned up were clearly engineers by training. They did a great job. 4) With the little extra's he is great at organizing and recommending where to get them and what to spend money on and what not too So that is the pro's. His price is right, he does the job and he does it well. I do have to put the con's down or else the review is a bit disingenuous. They are really very small things and many of them i suspect are my fault and inexperience...not that i have written that i am trying to think of the cons and failing. If pushed I would say: 1) He gave me an invoice and i thought that would be it; however, i still needed to buy some hardware and had not factored that in. Again my fault just would have liked to know this upfront (also we are not talking about large sums c.$1k) 2) Thats really it, just a single con and its probably my fault Over all i would give him full marks and not only recommend using him again i am using him again for some more work.

The service call went well. Technician arrived late do to traffic but diagnosed the problem and quickly got to work. Additional supplies were required so after a quick trip the local home improvement store the job resumed and was done and I was able to enjoy the rest of my day.

George showed up about 30 minutes late. I thought Ok, no biggie, if anything he seemed so friendly that I saw him coming late as a good thing that he was busy (so it seemed). Turns out I was wrong. Geeorge reconfirmed the $100/hr price and estimated 8-9 hrs of work. Then George called his "co-worker"/friend who "happened" to be waiting in the "van" somewhere outside. Ok, COOL! 2 guys, figured they'd be done sooner and if anything better for me. Turns out I was wrong here also. They ran through our place like a tornado. Tools everywhere, dirty hands, touching walls and leaving bring marks all over, ignored the VERY SIMPLE instructions on how we wanted a few items hung. These guys just wanted to be done and get out ASAP. If the work too small of a job that would've been fine if he had just told me that from the beginning. This is what I speculate this was an issue on his end. The work George and his guy did was the lack-luster, careless, sub-standard, rushed and unprofessional work I've ever encountered in my life. Long story short- he stained our Paul Smith "LOVE" needle point art. The fan light and speed doesn't work and hasn't since about 2 hours after they left. One of our floating shelves in the living room was not installed right (its IKEA lol) and fell off the wall breaking 6 glass vases from a collection of many that my partner and I purchased from a glass sculptor we like at Barney's. Irreplaceable and of course very valuable and sentimental. As mentioned above, the TV is now off the wall and we have yet had the time to reinstall it- so it sits, taking up space in an already small apartment and is useless at the moment. Every single winter Coat rack and closet hooks have failed out of the dry wall (no proper reinforcement at all, and no drilling into any brick behind the dry wall to make it more sturdy as promised). Our track lighting works when it wants to, the dimmer George installed only works about 50% of the time. Lastly, the Jonathan Adler brass urchin wall art was hung opposite of how we asked them to do it. I actually was being them when they were holding it up and I said where to mark it (It's clear how it's supposed to be hung) but they still ignored our wishes and when i left to get them gatorade, snacks, food and water they had hung it backwards. They finished in 6 hours, I gave George $600 hourly wage as negotiated and in addition tipped he and his friend $100 each. Total $800. Had they done good, reliable, professional, thorough job that would be worth it to us. About 3-5 days after George and his buddy were here my partner and I started noticing all kinds of things that weren't working with the electrical stuff (I'm currently looking to find out if he was licensed as an electrician at the time). Also we noticed the TV screws for the wall track were totally uneven and one side was only drilled in halfway. Also the mess they left was as if a carpenter had been just setting up his workshop in the middle of our apartment. Our needle point is forever stained and ruined. SO, I called George to ask him to stop back by at some point when he had time just to look back over the electrical and reinforce the TV. He mad plans to come that following Monday at 9am. HE ACTUALLY MADE THE APPOINTMENT! I was thinking this guy is going to stand behind his work. Well, I was WRONG AGAIN. HE DIDNT CALL, NO SHOW, I wasted my whole morning waiting around trying to call him. TWO DAYS LATER THIS GUY GEORGE FINALLY ANSWERS MY CALL AND SAYS, "SORRY MAN I'M TOO BUSY AND I HAVE NO TIME TO COME BACK....EVER." I told him how disappointed I was, my partner was/is devastated that we paid all that money for pretty much no reason. It's all fallen down or pulled out of the dry wall. THIER HANDY WORK- VERY BASIC WORK -compared to someone who mostly deals with renovations and/or very detailed contracting jobs- DIDN'T EVEN LAST 5 days. EVEN TODAY ANOTHER SHELF in the bedroom fell off the wall. It just reminded me of how angry I am that he wouldn't even take the time to stop back by and have the integrity and customer service to fix what we paid him to do properly. BAD MOVE HIRING THIS GUY! Be careful, he's charming and funny but he'll take your money and you'll never see him again. THE WORST SERVICE IN ANY FIELD FROM ANY SERVICE IVE EVER BEEN PROVIDED WITH. EVER!!!!!!! And I tipped them very generously considering the way the blasted in and out of here. Now we are back to square one trying to find a trustworthy, reliable handyman who can do good solid work. Time is no issue. I just want quality. Funny how all the good reviews this guy has are from HUGE JOBS. I SEE HOW HE RUNS HIS BUSINESS...... You pay for a big service you get good service. Small jobs, you're wasting your money.

We hired George for the second time. He came with two members of his great team. I’m not surprised that he continues to be amazing. My tenants moved out in May and left my apartment in a condition that needed some touch-ups. For example, he had Dennis and Alex take care of some spots on the ceiling and fix a few cracks on the walls before they were sanded and painted. My closet doors weren’t working properly. Dennis, took care of them in no time. A couple of windows kept coming down and they needed adjustments. Once again, Dennis took care of them. Dennis was very knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to talk to. Alex came the first time too. Both of these gentlemen are very hard-working and have excellent work ethics. They would do everything they can to please you. Dennis did a final walk-thru to make sure nothing was left out. Alex even swept and washed the floor. You tell me - aren’t they great? George also helped me change the shower body. Every night, when my ex-tenants took a bath, it would make an unbelievably loud sound – very annoying. George came one day, turned the water on and immediately told me where the problem was. It used to drive the people above and below my tenants’ floor crazy because it was LOUD. George is the kind of contractor who has great instinct. He could let you know what’s going on without even needing you to finish explaining. I feel that he truly has the special talent needed for the kind of work he does. That is what makes him better than other contractors out there. I cannot sign off on this without thanking George for stopping by last night (Tuesday, June 23, 2015). One of the steps in the hallway was making an extremely loud cracking sound every time we stepped on it. My wife and I were concerned. After I sent George a message, he called me within a few minutes. He offered to come by right away. It was after 9PM. He hadn't even returned home from work. One can imagine how very tired he must be. However, he did us this huge favor by stopping by and putting our minds at ease.

Super quick response and fast, efficient and professional service.

It took him 2 days to finish the job.
