Best & Company NYC finished our project in time and surpassed expectations on many levels. They are an outstanding contractor that takes care of its customers by being dependable, service oriented and delivering a great finished product. We are very happy with the end result! Highly recommended.

These gentlemen are the only gentlemen that should be doing any type of work on a property. They know the ends and outs of every building. They have craftsmen and GCs that are trained at a whole different level. They understand mill work, skim coating, electrical wiring - they are the best in the business. As a top real estate agent I only want to work with people who will do the job the best.

UPDATE: We are still trying to recover our deposit from Best & Co., but have serious doubts about their ability ever to pay. Outstanding litigation claims against them now total in the millions of dollars. They recently entered a court fight with their landlord, who is trying to evict them for nonpayment of rent. These cases are all public record -- BE SURE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH! Also, advise all to be highly suspicious of these recent, glowing 5-star reviews! Hiring Best & Co. was one of the most costly and regrettable decisions of my life. My wife and I found Best & Co. through positive social media coverage, without speaking to anyone who had actually engaged the company. This was a huge mistake. Our simple renovation project turned into a nightmare when nearly everyone at Best & Co. who was associated with our project either quit or was fired in the middle of the demolition stage. The months that followed were a disaster, as my wife and I were forced to hound Best & Co. on an almost daily basis to account for massive delays, errors, sparse communication, and the fact that on multiple occasions no one would show up when they were supposed to. Many months behind schedule, we learned that the millwork component of our renovation which we were told was a week or so away from being completed hadnt even been started yet. We were originally told that Best & Co. would be fabricating our millwork at their in-house, top-quality millwork shop, but after demolishing our living room wall in July, the Company told us that their in-house millworker was actually too busy to complete our project on schedule. They subsequently told us that they assigned the job to a third-party millworker, and told us that fabrication was well underway and nearing completion. Come November, we were shocked to learn that they hadnt even STARTED working on our project. Ultimately, the so-called project manager stopped answering our phone calls. We terminated the relationship four months into a project that was supposed to be completed in three. Our apartment is partly demolished and nowhere near finished. None of the essential millwork the largest and most expensive part of the project has been started. We now are looking for another contractor to urgently get the work finished before our new baby arrives in April. We will be cutting it close. I truly wouldn't wish this stress and frustration on anyone. We are desperately trying to make up the time and money we've wasted with such a grossly dysfunctional company. There are plenty of other companies out there that can help you avoid these issues. Good luck! (Note, Best & Company is the assumed name of the contracting company Design Development NYC, Inc. and its architecture sister company, Design Architecture NYC, Inc.)
