Closets and Closet Doors

This is our 2nd time using Mike to do custom 8 foot high bifold closet doors. The first time was in our previous apartment where we got a local handyman/carpenter and then a contractor to replace two sets of closet doors. Both of them were a disaster. The doors didn't fit or they didn't close well. They tried to fix their mistakes but it didn't go. Mike did them right the first time. He replaced the cheap hardware the other guys used with new heavy duty hardware. The doors fit perfectly and worked effortlessly and still looked great 4 1/2 years later when we sold our apartment and moved here. He also organized our closet interiors in our new home to work great for the both of us.

After seeing what my friend got done for his tall folding closet doors (They filled in the top and side with sheetrock and used cheap readymade doors which split in the corner in less than four months), I was scared to replace my own old tall closet doors. Found Mike on the net and he explained to me that he used a high quality hardware and made custom doors in the correct size to fit my closet. It wasn't cheap but now it's almost two years later and they still work and look as good as new and I'm going to order two fireplace bookcases from him.

We love the built in bookcases you made and are really happy with them. I just wanted to thank you and your installers for cleaning up and putting things away every day before you left. I started out interviewing quite a few cabinet makers and decided to go with you because you had creative solutions and I felt that you knew what you were doing.

The home office that you designed worked out better than I imagined. You spent a lot of time asking questions to figure out what we needed to make our home office work right, look great and not take over the den to make it look office like. We get a lot of compliments from our friends and neighbors. Thanks.

Just one word: Professional. The design, the installation & the craftsmanship. The fireplace bookcase & cabinetry you made for us is superbly crafted & looks like it has always been there which is precisely what we wanted. Your dedication to getting it done right is on a high professional level. Definably got value for my money.

You should come see the bookcases with actual real live books in them - it looks like they have always been there and highlights the living room beautifully.

Your bookshelves. They’re gorgeous. They’re beautiful. Great job.

The Mitchell’s - Riverside Drive

Just want to thank you for the great job you did for us. You asked us a lot of questions to design what we wanted for our bookcase and radiator cover around our window. The storage cabinetry that you incorporated in your design is much appreciated. The whole thing looks great and everyone we have shown it to has been absolutely amazed by it. The craftsmanship is fantastic and I'm sure that it will last for a long time. We couldn't be happier.

Danielle and Nicole - Park Slope

Thank you for completing the bookshelves. They look beautiful and we hope to enjoy them for many years to come.

Nat and Jess D - Harlem

I am delighted with the bookcases that were custom made by you. They run from wall to wall and floor to ceiling and fit like a glove. That's the look I wanted.

Alex R - Midtown

You were most helpful in bringing our desires and hazy ideas for our TV center into reality. You gave us great suggestions and we got exactly what we wanted: Lots of shelves for books and display, our large TV that looks like it fits in and belongs there and plenty of storage in the cabinets below. And it looks so good. We couldn't be more pleased.

Jeff and Laura T- UES

Thank you for all your hard work. We love our bookshelves and how quickly and efficiently they were installed. They have made a huge difference in the appearance of our foyer in our apartment.

Renovations, Kitchens, Bathrooms

Mike is a life saver! I thought I was in big big trouble after my first contractor crapped out on me. He left me with a messy, incomplete and deficient job and behind for the amount of money I paid him. You came in and were calming and spent a lot of time measuring and trying to figure out how to salvage my renovation at an affordable price. You came up with suggestions of how to proceed and how to make it look great. You finished the kitchen and bathroom along with the rest of the renovations with very few hiccups or major extra costs. It's less than two months latter and we are going to contract this week for a great price. That's a great thing in this market. I give out your number to my friends and neighbors and would use you again if we were not moving out of town.

Robert and Liz - Park Slope

We found Mike over the internet and he has done a kitchen and two large renovation projects for us over the last few years. We keep going back to him because of his careful high quality work, his professionalism and his reasonable pricing. We appreciate that he gets projects done on time and on budget and we've found him to be dependable and respectful of us and our home. He communicates well before, during and after the project. He has excellent judgment and has frequently made valuable design or construction suggestions for our projects. One characteristic that we found critically important is his honesty and integrity. We never felt we needed to worry about our apartment, the work, the quality of materials or whether the finished product would be as described. We've always felt comfortable when Mike was doing the work for us.
