Craig, we Do Not complete parking lot renovations. We Specialize in residential remodeling, home building and commercial new/remodeling work, as explained over the phone. We have attempted to help you, but it is just not in our wheelhouse. I am sorry you felt that not pricing your plans, is poor service. As far as 'customer service', I believe that is a misnomer, as you are not a customer. We work very hard to maintain our reputation as offering high levels of service to our clients. We have overwhelming positive reviews from people who have hired over the past 18 years. Good luck in your search for a contractor for you parking lot project, but we will have to pass on it. If you have any residential work in your future, I hope you'll allow us to show you how good we are at what we do.

By far the most unprofessional, rude & unreliable company I have ever dealt with. I was told by Evan he would have an estimate for a commercial job I needed done in 3 days. I immediately emailed him the architects plans. After I week I called him and he rudely, discourteously, and unprofessionally told me to stop calling him and that he would call me with estimate. Now it is over two weeks and I have not heard a word from Evan. If you want the worst customer service you have ever experienced than give this miserable company a try. If I could have given zero stars I would have.

We where unable to resolve very serious circumstances, that exposed our company to great risk and where advised by local municipality and inspector to remove ourselves from permit. We have been servicing clients throughout Long Island for over 15 years and have over (60) 5 star reviews on HOUZZ, and amazing completed projects and it hurts us deeply when we are not able to resolve circumstances.

I want to start this review by saying that I would never negatively review a company unless there was very good reason. My family and I have been taken advantage of, lied to, and disappointed in more ways than I can explain and I am writing this review to hopefully provide some insight for any future families looking for a contracting company. Last year we signed on with Caleb and his Center Island Contracting team to do the build on our 1200 sq. ft. extension to make room for our soon to be growing family. Unfortunately, this very exciting project turned into a very stressful situation quickly. To start, the job began weeks later than promised and it was very difficult receiving a straight answer regarding a definitive start date. If a contractor won't give a time frame (not even a specific date, just a rough estimate) in writing it should raise concern, and I stayed blind to it. Also, be very careful as to how much money you pay for each phase of work relative to the amount of job progress that has been completed. We were blindsided by this as well. Before signing on with Center Island I had read a few negative reviews on the usual homeowner research sites. I had noticed that each negative review was followed by the company denying that they had completed work on the reviewers home. Again, this should have raised a red flag and I am embarrassed to say that I wasnt more thoughtful about what I was reading. After having dealt with this company for the past year, the arrogance in the denial of working for the reviewers has become all too familiar. Caleb and his Project Manager Orlando take zero responsibility for their mistakes and their lack of respect for their customers is very disturbing. This whole process was a nightmare. The entire job was poorly planned and the sub-contractors were not supervised properly. We were told our home would be habitable throughout the duration of the project; however we were forced to find another residence for 2 full months to avoid the dust and debris left behind. No preventative measures were in place. There were no zip walls or tarps to prevent dust and damage to the rooms in our current home. Respect for our home was not a priority. Respect for our family was not a priority. As we stand today, about a year from our first contact, over 8 months from the scheduled start date, and almost 4 months past the max total time frame told to us during the interviewing process I was presented with a "Settlement Agreement. The agreement stated that they will not come back to complete the final items in their contract until this agreement is signed. This is where I had enough of their games and arrogance. The agreement stated that I would have to wave any and all future claims and reviews about Center Island Contracting. Having to ask your client to sign a waiver like this says an awful lot about their company and confidence in customer relationships. I chose to not sign the waiver and as a result they chose to remove themselves from the permits leaving the remainder of the work incomplete. I leave this review as a warning to the next family that is looking to take on a project on any scale with Center Island Contracting.

The best of the best! We used CENTER ISLAND CONTRACTING for a complete whole house renovation in 2019 and the results are fabulous. The project was extensive and renovated the house to the studs. Caleb Haniquet and Evan Lewitas and their team took care of everything. They have been attentive to all of our wishes for our home and I have recommended them to friends and colleagues.

We used Center Island to renovate out Kitchen, Family Room, and Bathroom. The job required a lot of relocation of major plumbing and structural components. We are incredibly pleased with how it all turned out as its absolutely beautiful. The team is very respectful and professional and they take a lot of pride in their work. I would definitely use them again on other projects.
