Dept. of Willpower. It is just plain tough to find good help in this city, unless you are willing to spend big bucks - and then you still need to be lucky. Word of mouth is everything.

DON'T USE DON PERRONE based in Brooklyn. His company did a bathroom renovation mid-January which he said would take 6-8 days to finish. He even listed on his website that it's done, which it clearly is not. 2 months later and I'm still waiting for his plumber Doug to come replace the shower body that he broke. I call and text and email and they either don't return my calls or they don't show up when they say they're coming or they keep saying tomorrow, tomorrow. Not to mention, Doug put in my new tub not knowing how to install the trip lever (which stops the drainage), and I wound up with a really cheap push drainer because the trip lever will not function unless he removes the tub. STAY AWAY from these guys. butterlane on Mar 20, 2009
Hi all, Juan just finished a renovation in my bathroom and I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

Juan is incredibly thorough and went through every possible scenario and its alternative for the renovation I had in my bathroom. If I wanted to have something added to the list, he would tell me with a speedy turnaround if it would keep me in my budget or bring it to the stratosphere; when appropriate he would make a suggestion for achieving a similar result with minor alterations to my initial request.
His team of workers are wonderful, they arrive on time have good vibes and they even clean up the excess demo bits when done! His prices are low to mid-range from my experience in getting other work in the apt. done and in comparing with other companies' quotes. One other thing that Juan does that is an odd rarity in general contracting - he writes down the entire scope of work as part of your contract. This is the number for his office: Andrew Batiuk (he is in main office and is the inital point of contact), 917-597-0133, JCM Construction, 646-479-9707 Adrienne_P on Jun 21, 2007
