Harry’s Contracting

EXCELLENT WORK! I had hired Harry to gut renovate my entire co-​op apartment in NYC, and WOW, what amazing results! I am in love with my new apartment. Harry understands the intricacies of working in a co-​op building in NYC, which made my life so much easier and stress-​free! :-) Super professional and accommodating! Harry and his team really ensured that no detail was overlooked, truly providing exceptional workmanship. All correspondence was always thorough and very quick. I trusted him and his team with my new apartment! I am beyond thrilled with how it looks. I look forward to hiring Harry again for all future work. I definitely recommend him and his team!!!

I closed on a home in March. Two months later, my homeowners insurance company sent me a cancellation later because the former owners had an illegal treehouse on the premises. Panicked, I looked here to Unilocal!and found Harry’s, who was both local and had great reviews.
I submitted an email with the issue of needing this treehouse demolished ASAP and the first thing in the morning, Arianna called me (who, by the way was FANTASTIC in preparing written estimates, costs, anything my insurance company asked for credential wise).
She told me they could start demolition that day, and they would only need a day to complete this. I called her the next day to give her the OK on the project, and she told me workers would be there around 12 and would finish by the time I got home at 2:30. During the work, they even stopped to call and asked if I wanted to keep a child’s table and chairs the found in the treehouse!
Needless to say, as I was walking down the block, they were loading the last bit of my now demolished tree house in their truck. I went to look at where the work was done, accompanied by them, and everything was neat, clean… no evidence there was ever a treehouse there!
Very professional, very polite… very reasonably priced… a fellow on the job did not even want to accept a tip offered by me! They saved me SO MUCH stress, were very accomodating… a dream job come true… as they were there when I was at work, and by the time I came home, they were done and I could just relax.
I would not hesitate to recommend Harry’s to anyone, and will use them again when my next catastrophe occurs!
Dawn

Harry removed a set of builtin shelves and turned a window into a wall for me. Everyone I dealt with was extremely helpful and friendly, from Ariana at the office who stayed on top of the building management to sign off, to the project manager that came out to set up and pick up keys. Harry ended up having to make a game-​type decision too, when he noticed that the exposed side of a covered window did not look good — he acquired the proper (water proof) paint and took care of it because he was not happy with the results. The price, quality, and speed of completion were all excellent. I would happily recommend Harry to anyone and will certainly use him and his crew in the future for any other jobs that come up.

Solid work! After being jerked around by a couple people for our kitchen renovation, we found Harry through Unilocal.At our first meeting, we definitely got a good vibe from him. Friendly guy, very personable, kind of serious looking, but able to crack some jokes. So we decided to go with him.
The job consisted of three separate trips, because we were coordinating electrical work in the kitchen, and it needed to be done in the proper order. And we were sort of on a deadline and we relayed this to Harry, who assured us it would be done on time. I guess we were nervous and needed to be updated or wanted to know a definitive time. At times Harry could be too laid back, or maybe he was used to more laid back customers, or our job was small so he wasn’t as definitive with his dates/​times — but there were two instances where he said he would call/​come by, but then he didn’t. He always called and let us know — he never just flaked on us completely or ignored us. However, I guess we were relieved, excited, and hopeful whenever he told us a specific time/​date, and we were expecting him on said time/​date because that meant things were not stalled. Once he finished his part, we could get the electrician to do his part, and so forth.
It didn’t make us upset at Harry; we could tell he was a good guy. But we were weary. We didn’t want to be clients that were not taken seriously, whether we were young or seemed passive. We needed to let it be known that we expected things on a specific timeline, as promised (that’s why we went with this business in the first place). My husband sent out an email on two different occasions asking for more information, and asking to speak with Harry. Harry’s office manager/​receptionist was on point. She always responded very quickly. I could tell she kept the ship running smoothly, because whenever we emailed her, Harry would follow up with a call. I really appreciated that communication. It was instant! I can tell they do take their clients and business seriously.
In the end, it all worked out. As for Harry’s work, it showed quality. And he was efficient with what he did in one day. He and his team also cleaned up after themselves, very well. They didn’t leave garbage or sheet rock dust. They even swept up too.
I know our job was small and minor, but I have confidence that bigger projects or a full on gut/​renovation, he could do very well.

This company is definitely worth doing business with .they did a very nice job for us in regard to completing work in the time they promised. Providing excellent workmanship and even prompt after service… and yes, when something went wrong, they go the extra mile to rectify any situation… they even paid for any equipment damaged in accident .
Yes this company is a nice trustworthy company with nice, efficient and painstaking employees who go to every detail to do the best job they can.
Yes they may be pricey but, yes this is a great company to do business with and i am sure this company will make you feel good with the price well spent.
Sure hope to use them again in future.

I needed some additional work done in my basement after I had a back-​flow preventer put in, and Harry was the first person I called. He and his partner completed the job quickly and my basement looks great! While he was there, he even solved a (completely separate) electrical issue we were having, at no additional cost! So awesome!

After having re-​finished out front door back in April of 2014, we decided to call Harry’s Contracting back to re-​do my mother-in-law’s bedroom and kitchen. I have to say, he did it again! The work is AMAZING! The workers keep the place clean while they are working. The work was done very quickly and professionally. Harry (the GC) was always on site and always available by phone. The end result is fantastic. My mother-​in-​law couldn’t be happier. I wish that I had a before picture, but I will post some pics of the work done tonight. I’m going to have him come back to do some more work in the fall.
HIRE HARRY TO DO YOU RENO!!!

Harry is an absolute professional. We had 2 rooms painted and he was prompt and the work is beautiful. He and his team totally exceeded our expectations and were quick.
He was generous with correspondence was happy to give advice on paint selection and was always happy to elabrorate if I asked why. Great all around honest service. I look forward to hiring him for any future work. I’d gladly recomend him and his team.

Harry is a true pro. I recently decided to do some remodeling and was referred to him for some bathroom work. Totally exceeded expectations and was quick.
After my wife saw what he did with the bathrooms we had him refinish the wood floors that we’ve been meaning to do and am glad we did. Can’t say enough about him. Glad I found him
