Everlast Contracting

I used Everlast contracting to redo my kitchen and had a great experience with them. They were professional and efficient. I enjoyed working with Monica who designed a beautiful yet practical kitchen using IKEA cabinets.

Everlast did our kitchen demolition and then Ikea installation. I’m in love with our new kitchen, they did such an amazing job. Firstly, the kitchen demo was super quick, within a few hours they had all the old cabinets out neatly, with no damage to any of the remaining kitchen structure. They cleaned up after themselves and even did us a favor and covered up some ugly wires that were sticking out with a box they made. Next, we worked with PJ to plan and schedule our kitchen installation. PJ is a great guy to work with, ask for him when you call. He is friendly, positive, and really does his best to make things happen for you. I had a few special requests that he was able to fulfill for me. He’s also very responsive and easy to communicate with, exactly what you want out of your contractor. He also referred me a fantastic electrician for the Manhattan area, who rewired our entire apartment and made it up to code. Mike was our head kitchen installer, and he was fast and communicative. He made sure that everything was done to my specifications and preferences, even when we had to move and re-​anchor our kitchen island a few times. I was able to ask his expert opinion on a number of things we came upon during the construction process, and his knowledgeable demeanor was so helpful in getting us the final product we wanted. Great attention to detail, the cabinets and entire kitchen turned out beautifully, my husband and I are thrilled with the results. The kitchen installation also only took two days and we were able to schedule the install within a week of having all parts delivered to us. Great service, professional workers with a ton of experience who know what they are doing. Would highly recommend.

Couldn’t be more pleased with the work Everlast did in my kitchen renovation! I had some reservations about using them because of some negative reviews I had read. My own experience with them from start to finish was truly excellent, though, from the first meeting with my design and measuring consultant, Monica, to the last touches by the plumber. (I should note that this is my 4^th kitchen build, so I do have something to compare it to.) My current project was renovating an old kitchen in a Manhattan coop, for which I had a very tight budget and other constraints. The first limitation was that I could not move the existing plumbing, which was installed before dishwashers existed and gas stoves needed to be plugged in. Monica was spot-​on with her measurements and suggestions to allow me to install a modern kitchen in the exact same footprint as the original. In addition to not having to change the location of the plumbing, she helped me configure the stock-​size Ikea cabinets with an end result that the cabinets look absolutely custom! Monica was reliable in keeping the appointment times and following up as required. The plumber was awesome, and in fact, the super in my very strict building remarked on how impressed he was with his work. Ditto for the cabinet installer and the team who did the patching and painting. I met all of the tradespeople and all of them took pride in what they were doing and delivered quality work. And Monica helped me enormously to accommodate my shifting construction schedule. Another success factor was that Everlast knows how to and is equipped to work in Manhattan buildings.
When you start out getting an Ikea kitchen, it seems very confusing — first the measuring consultant comes, specs out your kitchen and gives you a shopping list. Then you take the list to Ikea and bring it to the kitchen department where an associated helps you purchase the items. When the items get delivered, Everlast schedules your crews. Every step went super smoothly and all of the work was accurate! Thanks Monica and Everlast! My kitchen is amazing!!!

Everlast installed the most beautiful kitchens in two floors of our home. We cannot thank PJ the salesman and the installers enough. The installers are both trustworthy and talented. Our cabinets are installed to perfection!!!

Excellent Ikea cabinet installers.

I worked with these guy they are the worst I was the best installer /​customer lover they ever had or gonna have i made all my customer very please and happy i even still get job from them in person not through the company, i got fired because of wanting more pay for being great at what i do an also for not lying, short cutting an don’t give a shit just get money finish job quick an out to clients, i believe in making customers happy first then I’m happy, these guy only for them self an lie to u guys a lot eg. Say thing can’t happen when really it can beware they should not be working for anyone ! Sound weird to talk about them like this but after all I try for them I got kick to the curve, same way they treat clients !
P.s they love to overcharge if u guys don’t check ur bill right they got lots of people already!

Stay very far away from this place — poor designs, months of emails unanswered, refusal to give itemized estimates, refusal to give references (can imagine why), all under the premise that they do the subcontracted work for Ikea (and Ikea won’t acknowledge they utilize them). They take the money and run. I paid for design services and itemized estimates and never received any of it (after 5 months of trying). At least I didn’t give money away for an open ended incomplete estimate that didn’t have an ounce of thought behind it.

I really am not going to go into details because I don’t even want to think about it anymore now that it’s all over. If you have questions, PLEASE send me a message and I’ll let you know. Basically, IKEA outsources to them, they employ terrible kitchen designers (terrible in this case = people who clearly have never designed kitchens before), they are bad communicators and there were a few things that they did wrong that I had to have repaired later. While their labor guys were in my kitchen, they actually told me that the «higher ups» just like to get the contract signed and then they don’t care about you anymore. Awesome. My kitchen looks great (though I had some appliance installation issues and one piece of wall damage that seemed unnecessary), but it certainly wasn’t worth all the headache and stress and disrespect.
