KBR was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. They were very communicative and helpful with my design. Once we finished the design, construction went by very fast and was finished before I returned to town for the summer. Great crew and amazing people to work with!

Zero Stars. RUN. DO NOT USE THEM UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR APARTMENT DESTROYED. I am a reasonable person. But I have never experienced anything like this. I live in UES Prewar 7 room. My initial interaction with KBR was good. Rob the sales person was attentive. Michelle the designer was helpful coming up with a scheme for my two bathrooms. I met George who was supposed to be my project manager. After a month of delays (which is not unreasonable in this Covid era) we finally 'start' construction. The first day Matthew is there and he is my project manager. George has gone to Poland. Okay. Then

Do yourself a favor and RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!! They are the worst contractors I have ever worked with. Everything was done incorrectly and poorly and is falling apart. The measurements were wrong, damaged appliances were installed, incorrect cabinets were installed, the project was "completed" 8 months after they said it would be, everything cost between 3-5 times more than what they told us it would cost in their quote, we were blamed for every mistake, there was no professionalism, no reliability, shoddy work - I could go on and on but you get the picture. I regret the day I even

KBR is an untrustworthy company that provides unfinished work. First is the complete lack of professionalism. I can not count how many meetings Yosi missed, forcing me to continuously take off from work. In order to complete the job I had to take off 3 days of work to make sure the job got done. Even having to complete some of the work myself. On the final day of of work the contractor refused to dispose of the 10 bags of construction waste. I in turn had to take the bags myself to the dump. Second is the poor quality of the workmanship. It has now been 8 months since the complete of the project

Just dont do it. They provided a quote that was much less than any other contractor - which should have been a red flag. Some highlights of a terrible experience include: incorrect installation of a backflow toilet causing waste to back into the toilet. After not using bathroom for 3 days we were able to convince KBR that the toilet didn't just need cleaning. KBR owner came out with a real plumber (overheard owner say "this is what you get when you use a licensed plumber"). Had to redo entire toilet installation. Lucky we caught problem before making final payment. We were not so

KBR recently remodeled my upper east side apartment kitchen and bathroom, and I must say it came out 10x better than I ever thought imaginable. The attention to detail that both Yosi and Amanda provide is second to none, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to update their living space. Throughout the entire project, KBR kept me in the loop, did not interfere with me being able to use my apartment while they did their work, and they even finished a week ahead of schedule.

We couldn't be happier with the work done for us by KBR. Amanda created a beautiful kitchen for our new home and was a pleasure to work with from the start. KBR's staff genuinely cared about our ideas and likes and dislikes, unlike another design company that had earlier presented us with a take-it-or-leave-it plan. All the work was done by true professionals with minimal disruption to our lives. It was wonderful to work with them and we will consider them again in our future! Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking to renovate any part of their home.
