Empire State Builders and Contractors

When we needed someone to renovate our downstairs apartment we solicited quotes from several companies. Although their initial quote was outside our price range, we were able to negotiate a mutually agreeable price for the work. They did the repairs quickly, well, and on budget. The renovations to our bathroom are spectacular. And nearly a year later, when we discovered some outstanding problems, they came back and finished the job at no extra charge. They are flexible in the forms of payment they accept but charge an extra fee for using credit cards.

I had over 7000 ft.² of roofing that need to be replaced. The contractor was professional. They cleaned everything up after themselves. I was very impressed and happy with the results. they also replaced the siding on one side of my house. It turned out beautiful.

Great person to person contact. Quick consultation. Services were great. Appreciate the professional work. I will use Empire again and Refer.

Tom and Sean were great to work with on our large home project. At least one, if not both, was onsite daily making sure the project was being completed to our standards and desired timeline. They were both very communicative every step of the way. Thank you Tom and Sean!

Tom and crew did a great job on my roof. They were in and done in 1 day as Tom promised. Highly recommended!

Empire replaced my back slider door a couple of weeks ago. Sean and his guys did a great job and were very respectful. Thank you Sean and company!

GREAT JOB TOM & SEAN from EMPIRE STATE BUILDERS ! OUR BASEMENT LOOKS AMAZING

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT DETAILED CARPENTRY WORK !

I had 4 people come to bid on my roof. I chose Tom from Empire not only because they responded quickly, but were up front, clear and didn't hit me with any extras even tho I had a difficult house.
Definitely different than the typical contractor experience!

I hired Empire State Builders to fix a leaking deck, in the Summer of 2023. The deck sits on top of my garage, so, when the deck leaks, water pours into the garage. We needed the garage for storage, as we were expecting our first baby. Tom came and gave me an estimate, with the understanding that we wanted to solve for the leak, seal everything up, and restore the deck.
That was one of maybe 3 or 4 times we saw Tom. We only saw Tom when a payment was to be collected. He did not oversee the project, and did a quick walkthrough on payment collection days (he was here no more than 20 minutes each time).
The subcontractor that was hired for the job did a poor job. First, they never performed a water test to find the source of the leak. Granted, water is hard to track, but, if there’s a leak, run a water test. Next, they scrambled to do this job. They made multiple runs to Home Depot throughout the project to try to buy new materials to waterproof the deck (and I was guaranteed there would be no more leaks), which shows they were pivoting multiple times. After they were done “waterproofing” the deck, they put Trex on top, and reinstalled our deck railing. Well. The deck railing was poorly reinstalled with the incorrect bolts (not secure) and screws (some screws were missing, and he used sheet rock screws, not screws for metal). My sliding glass door was left with waterproofing goop all over it (granted, they cleaned most of it), my newly paved driveway had waterproofing material spattered all over it (permanent), they broke my outdoor lighting fixture (replaced), and got some kind of tar substance all over the side of my house (again, cleaned). They did no work to prep or protect the work area, sloppy.
We did pay to have them fix the water damage in the garage and replace the ceiling. But, coming back to that waterproof guarantee. After the job was done, a few months go by, and around November, there is water POURING into my garage, from the newly replaced deck, destroying my newly replaced ceiling and light fixtures!!!
We call Tom and the subcontractor back, and now, they’ve agreed to perform a water test. Well, that water test proved that the leak wasn’t coming from the deck, but, from the sliding glass door, and now, we need to call another company, spend more money, and have the door replaced. Had we done this from the onset, we would’ve been spared the new deck, and all of these headaches.
Now, it’s June 2024, I’m still waiting to have my deck put back together, and installed properly (railing secure, etc). It’s also going to cost me an additional $1k+ because the ceiling in the garage needs to be replaced, which, is apparently no one’s fault.
And Empire State takes no responsibility for their subcontractors or their work. You’ve been warned.

I had my uneven, cracked up, concrete driveway replaced with beautiful evenly and wonderfully done pavers. I was so surprised and pleased with the beautiful work done and the quality of the product. Thanks so much Tom and Bob. I definitely will do business with this company again.

Tom and his team completed our project in a very resonable time and at a fair price. Very happy with their work.

I met Thomas & his wife Debbie at Rockland’s Home Show Expo. They were welcoming, spent time listening to my vision and offered solutions that worked with my renovation budget. His subcontractors were excellent, mindful of my schedule and clean!!! Great Job. I highly recommend their services.

I got my bathroom remodeled by Empire State Builders and Contractors and we are so impressed with the results. They were ready and eager to get started as soon as we went to contract. Their team does very high quality, professional work and are reasonably priced. They worked diligently every day and turned our little 20 year old run down bathroom into the modern bathroom of our dreams in a week! Thank you Empire State Builders.

My experience with Empire State Builders was, without a doubt, the BEST professional relationship I have ever had with a contractor! Mark and Luis (M&L) are THE dream team and working with them was fantastic. The task of identifying and repairing a drain leak to be finished with a complete remodel of a bathroom can potentially be a nightmare waiting to happen. But under the supervision of M&L, our new bathroom turned out to be an absolute dream! And a much-deserved mention goes to their talented and expert craftsman, Edwin, who applied his skill to put wonderful touches of detail that would be easy to miss but are very much appreciated when they are seen!

Mark and Luis provided my wife and me with so much confidence in their capabilities, we contracted them to tackle the long-awaited renovation of our kitchen BEFORE they even started work on our bathroom! Much like what they provided with regards to our bathroom, M&L explained EVERYTHING to expect and will come at each step of the kitchen reno. They were very patient while my wife and I flip-flopped on aesthetic details. And their collective experiences helped us make decisions that would not only prolong the beauty of our spaces, but add personal, as well as financial value to our home.

Our house still has a number of areas we'd like to update. When we do, there is absolutely no doubt we will be contacting Mark and Luis (with hopefully Edwin, in tow) to take our home to that next level.

Thanks guys for all your incredible work!

We recently had a portico over our front landing completed by Empire State Builders and we were very pleased with the outcome. Tom and his team worked with us to create a design that met our expectations aesthetically and integrated the existing structure and handrails, which was important to us. The work was done in a timely manner and was clean and professional. We would use Empire in the future and recommend them to friends and family.

They remodeled my kitchen and bathroom and I couldn’t be happier with their work. They were attentive to my needs and great to respond to any worries I had

Tom and the crew from Empire State Builders were wonderful, helping me fix up my basement! They took me through each step of the process, were very communicative, and responded to all of my questions. They were very transparent about the costs and shared many ideas I had not considered, both to save money and to expand the usefulness of the basement!
They were also very careful around my yard and plants!

Empire State builders did an excellent job on a deck construction for my home, could not be happier ! Highly recommend this company for all your home needs !

Tom and his roofing and gutter crews did an excellent job. We are very happy with the quality of the work and would definitely recommend them.

I recently used Empire State Builders for two projects at my house - exterior siding and painting, and the installation of a garden window for my kitchen. I could not be happier with their work!! I found the company randomly - and when I made the call the owner (John) picked up the phone and helped me immediately. David Owitz was my contact, and I truly felt like I was his only client!!! He listened, responded immediately, kept in constant contact and kept ALL his promises! (And he's a really nice guy!!!) The work was done quickly and professionally. When I had a concern about a particular item it was changed literally the next morning!! They showed up when they said they would, the price was what they said it would be and the jobs were done - start to finish - when they said they would. As I look around at the work I can see the little extras they did - which speaks to their professionalism and attention to detail. David said their goal was to make me happy and they did!

I cannot recommend Empire State Builders enough. I would use them again tomorrow.

Empire State Builders and Contractors did a bathroom remodel for us. We worked with David Owitz who managed our project. He was professional, friendly and extremely attentive. He responded to all our concerns with a smile and stopped by every day to oversee the work being done. Here are some pictures of the completed bathroom renovation.

I first found out about Empire State Builders from a neighbor that recommended them for a kitchen renovation that I was looking to do. Mark came out to give me an estimate and some ideas. He was very knowledgable and provided sample and photographs of previous kitchen renovations. His communication was great. His staff were very accommodating, professional and cleaned up every day which I appreciated.

The renovation went great and on schedule and they also changed all my flooring on the first floor.

Everything came in $5k under budget. I would highly recommend Mark and his crew at Empire State Builders.

We wanted to finish our garage, so we contacted Mark at Empire State Builders because we love the kitchen remodel he did in our house (for the previous owners). From our first phone call all the way through completion of the project, Mark's communication was fantastic. He was available any time we had a question, gave us a fair price for the job, and didn't hit us with any surprise expenses along the way.

Mark and his team started and completed the job on time, and were incredibly professional throughout the process. We will absolutely use Empire State Builders for all future projects.

When we decided to finally remodel two very dated bathrooms, we met with a few contractors.  My mother recommended Empire State Builders because she had used them in the past and we ended up going with them.  This was our first time doing major work in our house and we could not be happier with the experience!  They were here when they said they would be here, worked hard and efficiently, and did great work.  Mark was terrific to work with - he communicated well and was very responsive.  Marcelo and George were incredible workers and just lovely people.  We highly recommend Empire State Builders and would definitely use them again!

i did a remodeling of my bathroom after noticing leakages. the work quality, the timely manner it was done, their professionalism (Mark visiting the site everyday to make sure is being done right), and the timely response to any concern i have made me very happy choosing them.

My detached garage was pretty damaged by Tropical Storm Isaias. A huge tree fell on top of it and punctured my roof and damaged siding, gutters and a window. Mark and his team to the rescue! They repaired and replaced the roof (tree caused four holes in roof and broke support beams), installed gutters, repaired siding and did other repairs as needed. My garage looks like new -- what an amazing job! The work was done efficiently and professionally. Mark was at my home every day, overseeing the project, even helping with some clean up, addressing any concerns and answering any questions. Mark is a true professional and his team does high-quality work. I highly recommend Empire State and will use them again for my next project (renovating my main bathroom). What began as a nightmare turned out to be a dream come true!

Empire State Builders and Contractors, Inc. did a great job siding and replacing the decks on my house. My house looks fresh and new! Mark was at my house everyday to oversee the job and asked if there were any questions or concerns. The attention to detail by the crew was wonderful to see. They were always on time, answered any questions and cleaned up everyday. Thank you Mark, Marcello, Luis, Jorge and Marco. I would call Empire again if I needed any work done in the future.

I worked with Mark on an exterior project. We added a portico to our front entrance. They were on time, profesional and timely. I felt very comfortable with his honesty and realistic expectations set for the job. My husband and I have been swindled in the past by a contractor. This experience was significantly better. Mark is now our go to guy for construction projects. They completed 3 for us thus far and we are very happy with the work, follow up and cleanliness of the entire crew!

(**Updated with kitchen picture) Discovered Empire State builders online - Mark has been great from the start. He and his team did our two bathrooms and we are starting the entire downstairs and kitchen in Feb. The bathrooms were finished pretty quickly and we have been getting nothing but complements so far! Mark takes all of our calls and answers all of our questions (as we had a ton!). Would highly recommend. Super trustworthy. Find bathroom reno pics below :)

We have used Empire State Builders for multiple projects in our home. Mark is always professional and polite and gives suggestions to make our projects even better. His communication before, during and after the work is amazing. All the workers that have been to our house all do a great job. We are very happy to have found Mark and Empire State Builders and look forward to working with them for many years to come.

We just finished a major kitchen renovation with Mark and his team. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. Marcelo and his team did amazing work. They paid the highest attention to detail, with even the smallest task. The communication from Mark throughout the project was second to none. We would use them again and recommend them to friends.

Fantastic work! From the moment I received the estimate until the job was complete. They were very professional, clean and timely with their work.

Always a pleasure to do business with. Because they take such attention to the customer relationship It is a happy convenience for me to have a "go to" contractor which I use again and again for all of my projects.
