FAMURAT BUILDERS, LLC

Famurat builders did an excellent job on the gut renovation of my studio apartment. They completed the project on time and within budget. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Kris Famurat and his company are devoted to the quality of their work and to the satisfaction of his clients. After a few initial getting to know you hiccups at the start of the project, Kris's team did fantastic work renovating my 1BR apartment in a cooperative building. His team worked professionally within the rules of the building, minimized any disruption to my neighbors and was responsive to my design ideas, whether or not they were included at the very beginning of the project or as change orders that took place mid-stream. In a world where it's hard to know whether you can trust any given contractor or rely on the quality of the work, Kris earns an A+ for trust, quality and professionalism. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. An example of Kris's commitment to quality: immediately after installation, the grout used in the tile floor of my shower would discolor after the shower dried after each use. The white discoloration wouldn't scrub away and it made the shower floor look terrible. Kris had his guy come back twice to fix the condition - the second intervention solved the problem and the shower tile floor looks great after each use. I would guess other contractors would have given me a hard time for requesting they return to fix something like this. As with any contractor relationship, make sure you outline in as detailed and clear a fashion what it is that you want in your project so that you can minimize costly change orders and time wasted. That said, Kris was flexible with my design requests and the project turned out great.

We hired Kris for a complete renovation of our one bedroom apartment in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Kris has a very high degree of professional integrity. He and his team keep to a schedule without compromising quality. We live in a coop building and Kris addressed their requirements professionally and without any problems. While it seems many friends have had problems with contractors who have been dishonest or done shoddy work, I never had such concerns with Kris. If there was something not quite right, he took responsibility and finished the job.

Kris runs a crew of professionals who are perfectionists. They work cleanly, they are detail oriented and they are reasonably priced. I have used him twice and seen his work in a friend's kitchen. He redid my kitchen, using an architect's plans, in a Brooklyn condo in the fall of 2012. Despite the intervention of "superstorm Sandy" and a health emergency for the foreman, the work finished on time and on budget. He redid my son's kitchen in a Brooklyn coop, reusing cabinets from my old kitchen and working off my own hand-drawn plans to enlarge and modernize a tiny kitchen. Again, he finished on time and on budget. I am about to use him again. You can't work with a nicer person, a more reliable group of workers.

We hired Famurat Builders to renovate the living area, kitchen, and bathroom of our apartment. They gut renovated our kitchen and bathroom, knocked down several concrete walls, installed all new floors, and created custom walnut cabinets. They did an excellent job, staying on budget and on time. We were very pleased with the results and we still are three years later.

I highly recommend Famurat Builders. I have used them for two separate Manhattan apartment renovations that included a custom kitchen, custom cabinetry, custom closeting with sliding doors, flooring, paint removal and a full bathroom renovation. The craftsmanship and quality was outstanding on both occasions and Kris was helpful in suggesting lower cost alternatives that met the design I was pursuing. More importantly, Kris was honest, timely and reasonable throughout the process, which earned my trust. I've heard nightmare stories about contractors in New York City. Famurat Builders finished the work on time, on budget and with the high quality I expected. That's why I've recommended them to friends and family.

I have dealt with many different contractors over the year, but none of them come close to the professionalism of Kris Famurat. He does not over-promise, keeps to his time-frame and budget. what more can you ask for.

Highly recommend Kris & team. Efficient and precise. Quality of workmanship was excellent. In addition, their prices were more than fair for NYC.
