I enthusiastically recommend Gallery, who did a superb job renovating our once-decrepit 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn Heights. The project involved a full kitchen and bathroom renovation, as well as new electrical, refinished floors, new doors, new baseboards, and some rearranged bedroom closets. We had never renovated before and were quite nervous about the process but Gallery was incredible. The team made the process of choosing elements for our renovation extremely simple and intuitive, always offering a guiding hand when needed but also deferring to our choices. They also handled the process of getting necessary permits and co-op approvals seamlessly with negligible involvement from us. But, of course, it was when the project got going that Gallery really distinguished themselves. They beat the projected time frame for getting the work done by two weeks, and although our renovation in an old and neglected building presented several hiccups, they did everything in our scope of work within the agreed-upon budget. In fact, they did more. For example, when they realized various things we hadn't discussed were going to be a possibility -- such as crown molding in the kitchen and recessed lighting in the bathroom -- they did them free of charge. What is more, when I gave them the wrong paint color for my daughter's bedroom and the team started to paint that color, they got the paint I wanted and corrected the "mistake" (which had actually been my mistake) and didn't charge me for that either. Throughout the process they were absolutely dependable, courteous and professional. I'd choose them again 100 times over and definitely recommend them to anyone considering a similar project.
