ASTORIA Construction

We hired Astoria Construction to replace several rooms' worth of flooring and to reinstall drywall and paint following some water damage. They were GREAT. Dan is kind, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, and his team got our project done very well and on time. I would and will use them again and recommend them highly.

Dan and his team facilitated a bathroom, kitchen and laundry room remodel in our condo. Dan was great to work with, very conscientious, thorough, diligent in meeting a timeline, super responsive with communication and questions, and invested in providing a quality product. We would definitely seek him out again in a similar situation in the future and recommend Astoria Construction highly to others.

I hired this company in 2016 for a good sized remodel of an older home. The job entailed raising ceilings, installing engineered beams, new cabinetry, rebuilding and resurfacing a deck, installing stairs on a deck, and a bit more. Things went well at first, and his crew seemed to be competent.

Then things started to go wrong. The first major issue was that Dan the owner like many contractors disappeared and left what turned out to be an inexperienced crew to install a load bearing beam in my kitchen. It was a scary experience as they first tried to lift it, then dropped it about 10 feet onto my floor.

After the first incident, I should have fired him, but I didn't. Next up was a series of very poor work performed by his crew, including installing deck surfacing agents improperly, and by improperly I mean literately against the manufacturers instructions. Amazingly, he just kept making significant mistakes in craftsmanship, and became aggressive asking for more money than agreed.

So one day he picked up and left prior to completion. I would classify this companies approach as hostile, incompetent, and shady. I don't believe that the owner is entirely honest. Fortunately I had hired an attorney who was able to capture this experience with documentation, which I am happy to post including many text messages from the owner Dan Kis.
