General Contractor reviews in South Richmond Hill, New York

We had a great experience with Shiv Contracting Inc., from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the entire project. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and they paid close attention to even the smallest details. Our space was transformed beautifully and completed on time and within budget. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and skilled contractors!

Highly recommend Gavin and his crew.
They’re great, honest and very professional.

We are extremely pleased with how our kitchen remodel turned out as Shiv Constructing, Inc. was the very best!
They were right on time always. Shiv and his staff was awesome. 5 stars and if we can vote 10 stars, we would.
Thank you Shiv and your amazing team.

As a realtor I buy and sell a lot of property. Being in business for the last 17 years the worst part of my job was finding a reliable contractor to do the work. For the past 6 years I’ve been so stress free since Shiv has been handling all contracting operations on my properties. Electrical Plumbing Carpentry anything I mean anything this guy can do it. Great contractor and friend.

Shiv comes off as a very nice guy. Soooooo Godly but ran off with my money and never finished the job. Left a hole in the siding, wind blew the siding off the house within a couple of months, installed siding crooked and the capping on windows look horrible and installed incorrectly which he agreed on and never came or called to fix the problem. So many other problems with this job, UNBELIEVABLE. Trust me do not hire this man to do siding on your home. He does not know what he's doing.

This is a review of Shiv Contracting Inc, and the following is our opinion of the disappointing experience we had with this company. We met Shiv through Angi. He stated that he had tremendous experience in designing and renovating not only homes but also buildings. He showed us photos of rooms that he had worked on, and we were impressed with what we saw.
On May 29th, 2022 we signed a contract with Shiv Contracting Inc. where Shiv agreed to furnish all the materials and labor to complete the job. There will be a six-month warranty upon completion of the job if anything needs repairing, they will take care of it. The job was to renovate the master bathroom and a powder room (½ bath). It also included renovating the master bedroom with an emphasis on redoing the ceiling which had water damage.
The job was a timely process; it took them a little over three months to complete the job. The workmen would sometimes work a full day but most of the time they worked a half day. We are not knowledgeable about home repair/renovations so the work to us looked good.
On July 11th, 2022 we entered into another contract with Shiv Contracting Inc to renovate our jacuzzi bathroom. In the contract Shiv agreed to purchase all the bathroom materials and supplies except for the shower tub, the frameless shower door, and the faucets. During the process of completing the job, he requested that we purchase the floor drain, the paint, and the hardware for the bathroom vanity.
Later, we noticed that he installed a shower door for the master bathroom that was so flimsy that we requested its removal and immediately hired a shower door company to come in and install a better-quality door. We were also able to have them return two tiny inferior looking toilet bowls before they were installed.
We became deeply concerned about the quality of his work when a workman for the shower door company stopped by to measure for the shower door in the jacuzzi bathroom. He asked us why the heating apparatus was installed above ground next to the bathtub. He further stated that leaving it above ground will result in it needing to be replaced within a year. Shiv was not pleased when we relayed our concern, but we insisted that it be placed underground as the worker had advised.
The work was completed on September 2nd, 2022, and we paid him his final payment. A short time after we had water coming down into our kitchen from the ceiling. We also had cracks on the walls and ceiling of the master bedroom and an electrical outlet in the jacuzzi bathroom was not working. We contacted him about those issues; however, he was out of the country. A few days later he called and came by to do the repairs. After fixing the leak he accused us of owing him four hundred dollars for the vanity he had purchased for the jacuzzi bathroom. He stormed out of our home after we told him we did not recall any such conversation since it was not on the contract, and he was responsible for purchasing the vanity. He did not wait to even hear about the additional repairs needed on the work he had done. Later, we texted him about additional repairs that are needed and sent him several pictures of the cracks on the wall and the ceiling. We reminded him that our contract had a six-month warranty and we expected him to adhere to the contract.
Despite several calls and text messages sent to him we have not heard a word back from Shiv Contracting Inc. It is disappointing to know that we entered into a contract with Shiv Contracting Inc, a business recommended by Angi to renovate our home and we ended up in this situation. He gave us a false sense of security by signing a contract with a warranty and in the end, he did not comply with it. We can say that we are completely unsatisfied with the quality of their work and will never hire them for any other job in our home nor would we ever recommend them to anyone.

I brought my house in 2017 and I made a great choice choosing Shiv Contracting for new renovations. I dealt with four contractors prior to Shiv each and everyone I found over priced and unprofessional. I sat down with Shiv in his office and after that meeting I knew I was making the right choice. A 3 month project by estimate of others was finished in 1 month and a fraction of other prices I was getting. Highly recommended

I had a serious plumbing issue where my basement flooded continuously. I didn’t know who to call and a friend of mine recommended me to call Shiv. Best choice I made he did an amazing job and It’s been 3 years since the incident and I have seen no signs of anything happening. Fully repaired in a short period of time . He even called after the job was done to follow up A class worker and great guy.

Awesome company, appreciated their transparency and honest with our project. Highly recommend .

Singh was very customer focused and very helpful with our renovation. His team are hardworkers and definately with it.

I used this company to do the extension for my house.They did the great work and completed the job earlier than expected.There was no complaints & did the Dob sign off on time.Definitely work will them again.

We had great experience with Singh. Very professional and always responsive to any requests. Had a pleasure working with this company

Worked With Purewal Contractors Inc on a complete bathroom renovation in 2010 at Purewal Did a awesome job from design and construction, we worked with Parminder mainly and its been 10 years there have been no issues what so ever , so we decided this to do a complete kitchen renovation with Purewal and this time we got to work with both singh and Parminder, and this time they blew me away, not only is there quality materials, but the design is easy with 2d and 3d and material selection, they completed the kitchen with 2 weeks, and it is flawless, the workers are on time and the clean up after them selves

definately recommend

Very nice in the beginning, but when I asked for an updated quote for added work I never heard back from him.

We came to know Purewal Contractors through social media. They are active engagers with their customers and online community. The posts they share regarding home renovations and home maintenance are helpful.

We Put Purewal Contractor Inc to do a Complete a Renovation of our Apartment, They did a great job of doing the gut renovations, from the demo to the completion, My kitchen and bathroom looks amazing with his work and awesomeness they did great job

Purewall is our go-to contractor for all of our home repair and improvement needs. Their work is expert and their prices are fair. Super professional and a pleasure to work with.

From start to finish we received great customer service.The price we were quoted was the price we paid. Singh and his entire team were great. I highly recommend them.

Recently hired them to do my staircase in my home…I choose them based of the positive reviews and it was the best decision they did an incredible job and Mr Singh himself would not be satisfied until it was to our liking …..will be hiring them again for a future project

Purewal came in the summer for an estimate to finish expanding my second floor, that estimate they never gave, as though we never met. Very rude and insulting company. Just imagine what kind of work they will give if they are so negligent.

I'm not going to say much because I didn't do business with them. I was planning to remodel bathroom however due to circumstances I had no control over the project was delay and almost into contract I was ignored on several attempts to restart negotiating contract. I tried on numerous attempts to text and call with no one responding. My negative review was only written because business should not be conducted this way especially with a company so large.
