Multi Construction Company

Ruined my whole summer for my entire family. I read all the reviews on yelp & should have really followed the 1 Star crucial readings. I made the biggest mistake of my entire life hiring this extremely unprofessional argumentative mean, smug nasty uppity deceitful weasel. He was hired because the work on line photos were excellent. Attitude is horrendously horrible. I'm A middle age woman & did not stand for his demonic tantrums & told him I don't deserve to be treated in this manner & won't stand for it. After HE GOT THE DEPOSIT WHICH WAS A LOT HE WAS A DIFFERENT PERSON. Installation of Vinyl backyard fencing / posts, concrete boarder all around, shed & roof painted, half yard removal of old chain link fence & 2 minor items. The minor items he had no interest in doing nor the simple things. His face told it all. The job this man was hired to do was in early April 2016 he immediately ran over with in 3 days for the 3rd of the deposit which was close to $ 6,000.00. OK the end of April the fencing arrived 18 pieces with the wrong posts 2Xs. No one ever checked before putting this unmatched color on the truck. So now the wait begins. From April to June the second set 0f post arrive but only half the order. Nothing in May no calls nothing. Mr. S. stopped all communication. So now were in July & I call. Mr. S he says " SO WHAT DO U WANT. I AM VERY BUSY WITH OTHER WORK. " The nerve, I told him exactly what was on my mind & when are U getting to my work, its July. Nothing in the mean time I'm on yelp following all the reviews & all the happy customers. But I am still on the totem pole waiting. Well from reading all the reviews Mr. S. Stopped my outdoor work to do other jobs. I really believe he was annoyed with me from the start because I would not let him install the CHEAP Horizontal wood design he chose & had already done on someone else's yard. I was also going to hire him for the kitchen even though he took a large deposit from me & did no work yet. I told him I have so much other work I only called him 3 times in 3 months in May I never called him. He says I will call & never did about the 2nd set of posts. He just ordered these items 8-13-16, because I have the invoice & bill he provided. He's A LIAR & has a lot of nerve. This yards beautiful trees & plants are 8,10,12 -14 FT high, vegetation & growth is massive. Leaves of an old oak tree, not ours drops 30 bags of debris. Fall /Spring is better for any yard work. I have 2 children his age & have NO REASON TO LIE. I talked to him about me contacting the The BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. The conversation moved him into ACTION, now he has ALL the supplies & now we need to hurry & get this work done. He will have to SQUEEZE ME IN Because OF HIS CLIENTS. I told him I have waited the LONGEST & U have serviced EVERY, ANY & ALL CLIENTS that were hired after me from the online YELP review dates. Also he's working in my neighborhood 2 blocks after I hired him. He couldn't even lie correct. THIS MAN IS A GUT RENOVATION WORKER THAT HAS NO TIME FOR SMALL PROJECTS UNDER, I'm going to say $15,000. Mine was close to $13,000. Our kitchen is old but still beautiful & needs minor love that does not cost a fortune. He kept wanting to tear down a wall built in kitchen cabinet unit with 5 large shelves that only needs the ceiling plastered & painted other wise perfect. Now it is 8-26-16 HE WANTS TO BREAK OUT OF HIS CONTRACT & REFUND ME THE BALANCE minus SUPPLIES, CLAIMING HE CAN'T WORK WITH ME BECAUSE HE SAYS I DON'T TRUST HIM & DON'T WANT TO WAIT. I HAVE NEVER TOLD THIS MAN ANY SUCH NONSENSE & WHY I GOTTA WAIT TILL 2017. I believe he's going for next year. If he did not want to work for us he should have said NO. HE'S THE WORST DECIETFUL PERSON I HAVE EVER HIRED. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. WHEN MY BACK WAS TURNED IN OUR YARD THEIRS A SMALL CAMERA I SET UP. I CAUGHT HIM DAMAGING THE PAVEMENT CEMENTS HOLE CRACK FURTHER FOR EXTRA WORK. He kept saying things did not work out with me but I WAITED 4 MONTHS AND DID NOT GET THE YARD WORK HE AGREED TO BE DONE FOR MY FAMILY. Now we have to find & hire someone else & fall is around the corner. Most men as such " DON'T LIKE WOMEN IN CHARGE & WITH AUTHORITY. WELL I GUESS THAT'S TOOO BAD FOR HIM. WHAT A WASTE OF MY VALUABLE TIME AND A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. I KEPT GIVING THANKS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE FOR ENDING THIS FARCE OF A CONTRACT PROMISING A SATISFACTORY TIMELINE ACHIEVEMENTS. HE GAVE ME A VERY HARD TIME. I REALLY THOUGHT HE WAS OK IN THE BEGINNING. I WAS TOTALLY WRONG ABOUT THIS ONE. I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN HE WALKED OUT OF MY HOUSE. THE AIR & THE ENVIRONMENT FELT FREE OF BURDEN & WAS LIFTED IN HAPPINESS. I'M FREE I TOLD HIM I ONLY WANT NICE PEOPLE WORKING IN MY HOME & AROUND ME. HE COULD'NT EVEN LOOK ME IN MY EYES ANY MORE. WHAT A FRAUD. No one could understand why he did this to me. BUT HE WAS SUPPOSE TO, YES SO I COULD EXPOSE HIM FOR WHO HE REALLY IS. It's official I WILL NEVER EVER HIRE ANOTHER CONTRACTOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. I'M DONE

Long overdue review for Multi-construction Co. I contacted this company last year while my husband and I were just about to close on a home requiring extensive renovations. Based on Yelp reviews, I contacted Shafayet to meet for a quote. Shafayet meet up at the directed location promptly, he was professional, and assertive on necessary repairs etc. Fortunately, once the contract was signed from our end the seller worked to press us for more $ on the home. We remained firm and continued our home search, (two months later the same seller's agent contacts us to ask if we're still interested in the home, guess the seller gambled and loss). I mentioned 'fortunately' earlier because as our two year home search resumed we landed a better home. Having felt confident in Shafayet and his frank advisement and no non sense attitude, I contacted him a 2nd time. Shafayet was on it post haste, quickly affirming what needed to be done and how soon he could put the home on schedule. I was honest with Shafayet from the start on my budget ( having sunk in more on the 2nd home then what I would have on the first). Shafayet and his team were the right fit for making our fixer-upper a TRUE home. His team ARE incredible! We had about a 2-3 month deadline on our apt so the pressure was on. His men worked from 8am-9pm at times. 6-7 days a week to ensure progress. 2nd floor was skim coated entirely and painted. 1st floor was darn near gutted save for the floors in dinning and living room. A partition, a closet, 4 walls (yeah, I'm one of those open floor type of people) Shafayet had to reign me in on the '...can this come down, and that...' he abided I'd have no home left if he did that. Whole kitchen completely demo'd and Patio doors added (that he advised, which was a great call). Track lights, floating shelves in the kitchen, new flooring in den and kitchen, more skim coating and painting. We were simply adding more work as we went and Shafayet who should have been bald by now (from all sudden requests and changes) took it in stride. I'm sure we gave him high blood pressure when an electrician we hired didn't fit the project and Shafayet was able to get his own electrician [Glenn] to complete the work when the skim coating had nearly been dried! (Loads of holes being made that needed to be re patched) I know my husband sure gave him palpitations with his questions but his attitude and professionalism never wavered nor his honesty. The entire MC team from additional contractors hired on IE: The plumber [John], they were excellent, respectful and prompt. I down right adore the carpenter [Hector] who did things for our home (installing window rods etc because I didn't want to mess the walls up) totally beneath him but he did it. Shafayet only works with the best from skill to personality and it was a pleasure to get this company while I had the chance. Our home is a beauty in progress and we will continue to contact Shafayet much to his hidden dismay (I joke) for the remaining renovations. I WON'T be going elsewhere. My basement, attic etc need renovations. If you're a home owner looking for quality, reliability, professionalism and a company who will treat your home as you would then Multi- Construction Co. Should be contacted as soon as possible. They are not cheap but they are fair. Save your self the head aches and paranoia of other companies doing shoddy work. I could go on about their amazing work. Thank you Shafayet and MC team, totally in love with our home.

We have truly nothing but the best things to say about our partnership with Shafayet and our finished kitchen. The entire process was smooth from start to finish and I never experienced one ounce of unprofessionalism from Shafayet or ANYONE on his team. In fact, in many instances, Shafayet and his team went above and beyond what we asked of them with no battles or complaints. Some details: *Shafayet employs skilled, honest, confident and respectful PROFESSIONALS. We were warned when we received Shafayet's quote that 1-2 guys would be doing ALL the work (demo, plumbing, painting, electrical, etc.). That is NOT the case at all. Anthony, who installed our cabinets, puts his heart and soul into the work, and it was not a clearcut, easy job. He will not put in a single screw until he knows it's perfect or can explain any issues he may foresee. Anthony never cut a corner. And Glenn, the electrician, is one of the nicest human beings I've met, but also a really skilled electrician. He knows what he has to do to get the job done, which ultimately makes you feel like you're in good hands. *Shafayet is a busy guy but always responded to my calls and my texts in a timely manner. A renovation is stressful enough, I can't imagine the added stress of not being able to communicate with your GC (and trust me, we had that with other vendors - unrelated to Multi Construction Co- during this renovation). *Shafayet is flexible. I told Shafayet from the beginning that I had my own painter and wallpaper-er. He was fine with that. Many of GCs we interviewed said it had to be their whole team or they wouldn't do it. I can see the efficiencies of having one team for the whole project, but Shafayet put that aside to please us. *Shafayet keeps a close eye on all of his projects and delegates appropriately. Shafayet was not in our home every single day, but he was always there on important days and he would check in on progress every few days. He holds his guys to a high standard of quality in their work. *The best way to build a relationship with Shafayet is to simply treat him the way you want to be treated. I have read some of the poor reviews on Yelp here and can honestly say I do not share one iota of their experience. I'm not sure if they approached Shafayet in a manner that quickly put him on the defense or he felt was condescending. But I felt and I believe Shafayet felt that we were on equal ground and that made our working relationship successful. I treated all my interactions with him with respect and I feel he did the same back. I would be thrilled to work with Shafayet and his team again and highly recommend him for other jobs.

We hired Multi Construction to work on a rather large single family home renovation which spanned from Sept 2016 to Feb 2017 . Scope was to update the kitchen, 3 bathrooms, cellar, electrical, plumbing, install ductless mini-split, paint. We met with 7-10 contractors and ended up selecting Multi Construction for our renovation. We were happy with our choice based on the following: - Communication: We worked with Shafayet, who made himself available. He took our calls, communicated via text and email, and met with us in the evenings (almost every week) to go over updates as well. In terms of work style, Shafayet gets down to business and focuses on the work itself and in the details. He does not fluff or sugar coat things, which we appreciated. - Reasonable pricing: Compared to the other quotes we got from contractors, the pricing was reasonable and in line with others. Tip: Make sure you are detailed as possible on the type of work needed to get an accurate quote. Even on the additional change orders we had, we thought the pricing was justified and Shafayet was open to the additional work. - Realistic point of view: From the start, Shafayet was upfront with what he saw as the big ticket items and what issues may come up during the renovation. He didn't try to sell / market himself like other contractors. Throughout the renovation, we would exchange thoughts and ideas and he would share his POV on how things would look like and what he would recommend. There are a few considerations you need to be prepared for: - Even though you are hiring a contractor, you need to be the project manager and be very involved especially for the big ticket items. We were on site at least once a week and addressed any concerns/issues/questions immediately with Shafayet. We also learned we had to be detailed with our communication. - The team was onsite on Monday-Fridays and most Saturdays in order to get the work done. Shafayet is onsite at times but not 100% as he manages other projects. - We had to buy our own materials (e.g., Kitchen cabinets, countertop, fixtures, tiles, etc.) However, Shafayet did recommend his vendors that he has worked with in the past. There were several instances where Shafayet's recommendations have saved us money on the cost. Check measurements with the contractor and timing on when he needs the materials before making any purchase. - Plumbing and electrical work is subcontracted to other vendors. It was always good practice to ask about the subcontractors prior to beginning the work. There were slight hiccups along the way that pushed back our completion date and where we had to change some minor aspects of our renovation. But that is to be expected with any renovation. Overall, we were very happy with the final product and happy to call it our home.

My husband and I purchased our home in October 2015 that needed much TLC. The house was in a very bad condition and it needed to be fully renovated. We knew the process was going to be pretty scary and risky but we were fully committed to finding the right team for this gut renovation project. It was very sad to see that no one in my family, friends nor coworkers were able to refer someone they had used in the past because they had such a bad experience. We interviewed many contractors and architects but we must say Shafayet from Multi Construction was the most honest and sincere contractor we've ever met. From the very beginning he told us what to expect and what we needed to do before hiring a contractor. He initially told us we needed an architect to change the structure and layout of the house. We tried to differ from his advice but we realized he was right about hiring an architect. We needed an architect to legally change the structure and layout of our one family house. Shafayet invested time to gain our trust by showing us his previous Job sites for reference. Multi Construction quote was not extremely low which means his work was not poor in quality but it was not extremely high it was right in the middle! I believe his price was fair and very reasonable for all the amount of work we had required. Today, I am very happy we decided to hire him for this project. From the moment Shafayet took over this gut renovated project his team has made this process a lot easier for us. Multi construction completed the demolition of our home in less than a week. That is very impressive! They began to level out the floors and created the new layout of our home immediately after. They were very knowledgeable, well experienced and they followed all the architects' plans. Everything that was on paper was coming to life right before my eyes and it was an unforgettable experience. The footing & foundation are very solid, the framing, exterior finishing and the interior finishing were remarkable and used great materials. Overall, his team are highly skilled contractors and I will forever be grateful for their talent and exceptional customer service. His team was extremely professional, respectful, hardworking and reliable individuals. They were always united, always on time and always available to answer our questions. It was such a beautiful, pleasant experience that I will always speak very highly of Multi Construction and I will never trust anyone else other than this team to do work in my house or any other project I may face in the near future.
