Description of Work: They repaired a wooden door that was rotting, thereby preserving a custom made, solid wood door. They were polite, punctual, thorough and professional. There was a slight imperfection in the finished product, but the door's condition and appearance were much improved by their repair work. I would definitely recommend this provider.

Cris came to my apartment for an estimate. He seemed to know what he was talking about and I was looking forward to receiving the estimate. He specifically asked me when I needed the estimate by and I told him within a week. No problem, he said, I'll get it you by then for sure. A week came and went, no estimate. Two weeks, nothing. I called and emailed and twice he told me he would have to me that night, the latest. Here we are, over a month later and I received no estimate. No apology, no contact even. Needless to say, I'm going with someone else but waiting for his estimate that never came delayed my project by weeks. I'm very disappointed I wasted my time with York Deco.

Cris provided insurance, licensing other building management requirements prior to work on my co-op apartment. Cris also assisted on ordering of custom doors. All workers were very nice and responsive to any issues that came up during the job. Would definitely use York Deco again!

Installed new interior doors with hardware and hinges. Removed old telephone cable from baseboards and door frames. Installed quarter round molding to cover gaps in dining alcove and living room.

Chris first came to inspect the job and give me an estimate and them came back the next day with a crew of 3 painters. They covered every bit of floor, got to work quickly and did a beautiful, very neat job. I would definitely hire them again.

It was okay. Provider is very busy.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal from York Deco.
They were very good at doing the work; they were thorough and efficient. The only issues I had were that it did take a long time for them to complete the estimate and they were not always on time for appointments.
Description of Work: They installed shelving in a closet, repositioned the hanging rods, installed wall shelving in the bedroom, installed a shelving unit the bathroom, installed window curtain rods and safety grab bars.
Im very pleased with the way my bedroom came out! I was very pleased with Cris ability to create all of my visions of what I wanted to get done and everything was perfect! I had wood paneling and linoleum flooring installed in my room along with a ceiling fan plus a outlet installed! The vision I wanted was a log cabin feel to the plus with more space. Cris also remolded my makeshift closet to an functional one, The carpenter Carlos (whom is employed by Cris & did the project)was very polite and professional! I would recommed anyone to York Deco cause of the trust and constant communication they provided throughout the whole project. If theres any criticism I may have of York Deco is that they need to manage time better other than that they are a top notch company! YORK DECO ARE MY CONTRACTORS I WILL RELY ON!! PROFESSIONAL STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL!!!
Description of Work: I had my upstairs attic bedroom remodeled.
I recently hired Cris to do a renovation of a 3 family rental property in Gowanus. What started out as a basic remodel has turned into a complete gut job. The job was going so well that when my parents were looking for someone to paint their apartment and stain the floors, I recommended Cris. He got them a great quote, and got right to work. He was ready with all the paperwork that their demanding co-op needed and dealt with their limited hours for construction. And still, he kept a crew at our place working Saturdays and sometimes even Sundays to get the work done on time. So when it came time to do work on my own house, I called Cris again. I'm happy and am no longer searching for a good General Contractor.
Description of Work: 5th ave apt (Union Square/Greenwich Village area) Amount $8,000 Wood floor repairs, staining & refinishing Plaster & Painting of walls & ceilings President St house ( 3 level house at Carroll Gardens) Amount $16,000 Subfloor repairs/installation Wood floors installation, finishing Finish carpentry Plasterwork & painting of walls & ceilings Kitchen installation Electrical & plumbing Finish carpentry Windows & Doors installation Gowanus House 3 story house w/ cellar project 1st phase has been completed Amount $56,000 His company performed the following work: Interior & Exterior work Structural rough carpentry, replacing approx 36 Wood Joists w/ 23’ span Structural carpentry sistering 14 wood joists approx length 16’ Concrete reinforcement, formwork & pouring Trench work for plumbing Replaced subfloor & flooring planks Cleaning/power washing of fireplace brick Roofing system (structural & finish layer) Vinyl siding & gutter installation Drywall framing (metal studs) Roof Parapet wall repaired & aluminum cap installation
This work was performed after my tenant of 5 years moved out of my co-op apartment This is the second time I have had Cris provide services for this apartment. Previously, a leak from an upstairs tenant caused me to have wallpaper removed and the plaster walls and ceiling repaired in the kitchen. I was pleased with the work Cris did on the kitchen, so I contacted him again for an estimate. He gave me a very competitive price and worked with the building management company to ensure all issues regarding licensing, insurance, and other building requirements were met before beginning the work. The workmen arrived on time and they completed all work in the estimated time of 2-3 days as promised. You cannot tell where the cracks in the plaster were repaired and now the newly painted walls, ceiling, trim and closets look excellent. When I need to paint this apartment again, I will be contacting Cris at York Deco. The quality of the work and the professionalism of this company ensure I will remain a loyal customer. Additionally, his workmen noticed the faucet in the bathtub was leaking. The stopper had been closed and water was filling up the tub. We are not talking just a drip, but slowly running water. Cris contacted me as soon as his workmen reported the matter to him. I was able to avoid water damage to my apartment by getting the faucet repaired before any harm could occur.
Description of Work: Repaired cracked plaster in living room and bathroom ceiling & walls . He spot primed patchwork for crack repair, reinforced cracks with mesh, and caulk sealed gaps at molding joining the walls. Painted living-dining room, entrance, hall and closets in living room and bedroom plus accent wall in bedroom. Painted baseboards and door/window trim. Cost of service included paint.
The work went well and Cris was very professional and timely in his work. I had checked around for pricing and he had worked with me on the price. I had used Cris before for concrete work to fix a crack on my foundation wall so I knew price was not the main issue for him. I would definitely use Cris and his company again.
Description of Work: I had a problem with water from the tub leaking onto the bathroom floor. I wasn't sure where the water was coming from and asked Cris to check it out. Cris explained that the leak was probably due to either a crack in the pipe or run off water into the tile. He said he would have to open up the tiles to investigate the issue and if necessary replace the faucet stem and shower valves. After his investigation he did have to replace the stem, washer, o-ring, seat and handle. He also replaced the chalking around the tub to give it a cleaner look.

Response from York Deco
Dear Angie's List Member, Our whole company was on a 2 week vacation from 6/30 to Sunday 7/14, including our crew members. I have checked our voicemail once back and there's no message with your name. However, there is only one message that can't be heard at all which it might be yours. We have been working very hard non-stop since 2 years and decided to take a time off our extremely busy schedule. We have also been working with many Angie's List members during the past 6 months, we are resuming with meetings, estimate visits and project start ups in a consistent way. Even though our review page has 3 reviews, these don't reflect the level of satisfaction & service that we provide to our customers. In the near future if you feel we can still help you, Please accept my invitation to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you in the next project. Thank You and Best Regards, Christian Galarza Field Operations Manager

I STARTED WORKING WITH CRIS THE SUMMER OF 2012. AFTER A NIGHTMARE SITUATION WITH A PRIOR CONTRACTOR I CONTACTED CRIS WITH MUCH TREPIDATION. ONCE I SPOKE TO CRIS AND EXPLAINED TO HIM EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED I WAS IMMEDIATELY PUT AT EASE. I FOUND CRIS TO BE EXTREMELY COMPETENT AND AN EXPERT AT WHAT HE DOES. I FOUND HIM ALWAYS CORDIAL, POLITE AND VERY ENGAGING NO MATTER HOW EARLY IT WAS IN THE MORNING. HE ALWAYS SHOWED UP ON TIME AND KEPT CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WHETHER IT WAS VIA EMAIL OR THE PHONE. CRIS ALWAYS ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION I HAD AND ALSO HAD GREAT SUGGESTIONS FOR ME WHICH USUALLY WAS DEAD ON! AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED CRIS EXCEEDED EVEN MY WILDEST EXPECTATIONS AND BEST OF ALL, HE FINISHED ALL JOBS ON TIME AND WITHIN THE PROJECTED BUDGET WHICH WE DISCUSSED WHICH IS ALWAYS GREAT! WITHOUT QUESTION CRIS WILL BE MY ONLY CONTRACTOR THAT I WILL BE DOING WORK WITH FROM NOW ON GOING FORWARD! I AM DEFINITELY FORTUNATE TO HAVE FOUND HIM.
Description of Work: PAINTING OF 4 ROOMS, WOOD FLOOR MOLDING OF ENTIRE APT.. ASSEMBLY OF A TABLE BENCH. CLOSET RACK & INSTALLATION OF BATHROOM VANITY.
I've been working with Cris for the past 6 months on a total renovation of a Brooklyn townhouse. He is honest, reliable, friendly and a true problem solver. He is cool under pressure and a great communicator who takes a lot of pride in delivering a truly excellent product on time, and on budget. Cris has come through for me in a way other contractors have not. There isn't any of the " not showing up" and "not calling", or dragging the job out and trying to hit you for extra costs at the end, It is a straightforward business transaction--no nonsense. We feel lucky to have found him. I can say without hesitation that it is nothing short of a pleasure doing business with Cris. I look forward to working with Cris on more projects in the coming years. Below is a list of the work he has performed for me so far.
