SPACE CARPENTER

Awesome! This was the 2d time that I used Space Carpenter and they were every bit as reliable and professional as the first! They can easily deal with NYC coop paperwork, which is a huge plus. I reviewed, before traveling, what I wanted done with Kevin during a period when I would be traveling. He and his team were so awesome in getting what I needed, and I knew from my prior experience that I could trust them to do the work in my apartment on their own, while I was away. I don't think my bathroom was ever prepared for paint and painted so well. And they were great in picking up the paint and shower doors for me, once I described what I was looking for. I just loved seeing the beautiful job when I got home! I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for small and large work.

Kevin's company did a thoroughly professional and meticulous job of repairing the problems. Ken came in to review the situation and proposed a solution which sounded very reasonable. He came back and did the work carefully and skillfully. (A paint job was also included.) Space Carpenter did some work for us previously -- about 2 years ago – making repairs and improvements to several cabinet drawers and doors that were out of alignment or didn’t close properly. Because we were so happy with that job, we decided to call on them again for this one. They are consummate professionals, skilled, imaginative, responsive and punctual. We would hire them again and recommend them to anyone seeking their services.

Kevin and team are outstanding professionals. Their work is impeccable and looks outstanding. And they stand by their work. We had a minor issue that popped up 3 plus months after the work was completed and Kevin and team came back to repair without question. Kevin is a wonderful, professional and reliable contractor.

The principal of the company came to measure for built ins and radiator cover over steam radiators. Because of the issue of steam he warned that the work could warp and deteriorate over even a season or two. He refused to guarantee the work and I decided not to proceed. I did however as a courtesy send him a check for $50 for the home visit. He has sent abusive emails several times and just today returned the check with a crazy furious note. check was sent in October and this guy is still enraged in mid-January. Not professional, rude and angry. Be careful!

I had been shopping around for a carpenter to build some under the stairs cabinetry for some time. The estimates were all over the place. I came across Space Carpenter and after a few emails I knew Kevin was the man for the job. His estimate was reasonable and his professionalism was unquestionable. He came in and took his measurements and created his template and delivered a finished unit on time which fit like a glove. I tend to nit pick over the littlest of things but I couldn't in this case. I was more than happy with the finished product. I still have more to do in my home, such as some electrical work, leveling and re-paving my backyard and some light masonry work and I fully intend to use Kevin's services again. Space Carpenter gets a big fat A+ from me. Thanks Kevin and expect my call soon,

Kevin did a great job of pointing out what needed to be done and what it would take. Got a date on the calendar and completed the work. Also dealt well with the overbearing requirements of my co-op.

Perfectly. We had used Space Carpenter in October for a larger job (see prior review) and were so pleased with them we had them come back to do the above repairs. Armando was the carpenter again. He was prompt, courteous, neat, and the repairs were done without a hitch.

This work was done over 10 years ago. The service at that time was prompt and workmanship was good.

The carpenter arrived on time and quickly assessed what needed to be done. He took measurements for a replacement piece and went back to the Space Carpenter shop to fabricate a replacement piece and was back in my apartment installing the piece within two hours of the initial visit. The installation took only 15 minutes, and it was done perfectly. Incredibly impressed with the speed, responsiveness and quality of the work. Will use Space Carpenter again for any related work I need and will definitely recommend the service to my friends.

Paul Godwin and his team were very professional and did an excellent job. However, their prices are high.

Perfectly! Kevin Rocine was wonderful to work with--prompt, courteous and always kept me informed. His carpenter Armando did excellent work. All the pieces were well made and to exact measurements so installation went very smoothly. They came out twice to take measurements and to recheck them.

Space Carpenter was perfect from start to finish. Response time to emails was exceptional, as well as the actual work. On time, clean, efficient... Extremely professional.

Came by to assess the job. Arrived on time to do the job. Work done professionally, thoughtfully and skillfully. I'm very happy.

I own a townhouse in Brooklyn. I had a bunch of small repairs that I was trying to get fixed. We went to another shop here in Brooklyn first, but really struggled to get their attention for this kind of work. Kevin was great. At first I was not sure about his method of not quoting a price and basing it entirely on Time and Materials, but his carpenter, Armando, was efficient and knowledgeable. He got through everything in a day and for a reasonable price. I was very pleased and would definitely recommend them to anyone else.

Good! Kevin sent a competent carpenter who was efficient and knew what he was doing as well had offered his suggestions. I had purchased a magnificent wall unit from an estate sale that someonw had started and messed up. This company put the finishing touches on it.

Overall good-quality work. There were a couple places where the work was somewhat sloppy, but these were fixed very quickly after I notified Kevin and Diana Rocine (who run Space Carpenter). The best thing to highlight was the responsiveness of Diana and Kevin, and how incredibly clean their workers were. When I arrived home in the evening each night they were working, another part of the job would be complete but otherwise it was as if nobody had even been in the apartment (no construction dust, tools and materials all neatly placed in a corner). Overall recommended.

We were very, very happy with the work they did and are getting quotes for a next round of work. We were able to create a mutually convenient, relatively fast timeframe for doing the work (basically taking a separate dining room and converting it into a soundproof bedroom.) The attention to detail and craftsmanship was superb - it is probably the nicest part of our apartment now, particularly the custom made, huge pocket door that they milled. What we really appreciated the most was that from the initial conversation they came up with thoughtful, creative ideas for how to maximize the project, most of which we implemented and are happy we did. This may be small but they were also very, very tidy and respectful. Very professional.

He was professional, friemdly, fast, ... nothing to complain about !!

Estimate on Bathroom renovation.

Basically, they had to rebuild the whole room. I emptied the apartment and had to leave for about a month for work so they did everything. I put in a door then they had to take it down and made too many holes so the sheetrock had to be replaced. I was so happy with it and they came back and did a walk through and there were a couple of little things that were to fix and they fixed them right away. They had pride in their work and they were very involved in the project to make sure it is perfect and that would make me recommend them in a heart to friends and family in a heartbeat and I have. They cleaned the vents in the filters and I did not ask them to and they did it. They were thoughtful, and amazing. They did everything beyond expectations.

Space Carpenter did an amazing job. They are very reactive, friendly and the work has been perfectly done. I will definitely work again with them.

Kevin had done much work for us previously, including replacing a floor infested with termites. He helped us plan a complete re-modeling of a top-floor bedroom suite that included an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. This is an old house in an historic preservation district and so there are lots of unknowns as the work progressed. Kevin dealt with it all with great patience, experience, and a designer's eye (as well as a contractor's sense of the practical solution to often quite complicated problems.) We ended up with a superb bathroom and re-modeled walk-in closet. A joy to use every day!

Very well. Kevin is a fine craftsman, but his primary virtue is that he listens carefully to what you want done, goes through it several times to be sure that your expectations and his work plan are in sync, and keeps you closely advised of any little variations. The door project was not a simple one. We live in a 90-year old building, and the apt had once-lovely, but battered and warping doors, with cheap hardware (some previous owner had obviously sold the original brass fixtures.) The project was complicated by steel door frames, which required a lock mechanism that wouldn't fit any of the new brass fixtures we wanted to use. (We could have replaced the frames, but the were anchored by extenders into the walls, so taking them out from the old plaster would have made a terrible mess.) Kevin and his crew worked around all of that, and he found brass fixtures that closely matched the building's original plan. When he finished the doors all hung perfectly. We would certainly use him again.

The first thing we noticed about Kevin was his honesty. He was clear about what his concerns about the job were from the get go. We appreciated hearing about the pitfalls from the outset. The next things that impressed us were his design skills and his attention to detail. He thought carefully about what we were asking for, made drawings, came back many times to make sure measurements were correct and suggested solutions both from a practical and a design point of view. His ideas ended up making the most of the room and giving us more space than we thought we had. His bid was clear and in line with what we were hearing from others. He made us aware of areas of uncertainty and updated us as the job progressed, as we had asked him to do. The finished product was as nice as we possibly could have hoped for. Along the way there were glitches, and he handled them straightforwardly. When details were not up to his standard- a drawer out of alignment, the floor not looking as good as he hoped- he had them taken care of, long after the last check had cleared. We can?t recommend Kevin more highly; from the quality of his work to his communication skills to his attention to detail, we are very happy to have found him! People who see the room are stunned by how smart it is, and how good it looks.

The service was excellent. It took a little while to get into his calendar but, one we did, he kept to the time frame promised. It was a pleasure doing business with Kevin. He was very professional and throughout. Kevin made sure it fits perfectly within the room existing architectural features and was also very mindful of the operation to get all into the building The bookshelf looks amazing. It was a delight to find such a good professional. Looking forward new project with them. Kevin is also a very polite and pleasant person to do business with.
