Favorite Project:

Billy said his favorite project was working with a customer in Floral Park that hated her kitchen for 20 years and sacrificed for her family despite loving to cook and having a poorly designed kitchen. The fact that he could be creative in increasing the storage space and counter top space made the customer very satisfied. This customer had many construction horror stories and they were a pleasure to work with. It is always the people that make his job interesting and worthwhile.
