Classic Construction Group, LLC

I hired German Ruiz, Classic Construction Group in January 2018 to start work on a “charming, fixer upper” I purchased in Larchmont, NY. The house had great bones but was outdated from top to bottom, including painted faux painted panel walls.

I asked Classic Construction to gut and expand the kitchen by knocking down a wall and moving another, redo a bathroom, sheet rock walls, replace ALL window and door casings, replace doors, create custom radiator cover, tile work and address a structural concern. The work is superb and meticulous. The tile work and casings are perfectly even - no small feat in a 100 year old tudor house. The work was so well done that the kitchen cabinet supplier complimented his work.

His workers were nice and polite and my new neighbors expressed that they were very friendly and neat.

The base project was on budget any overages were due to my finish selection and a missing beam not indicated by my architect. His estimate was pretty close. The time was a little longer than preferred due to permits and suppliers - but I have yet to hear of a renovation project without a frustration.

Personally, German is great to deal with and very personable. An enjoyable experience! I will definitely hire again and I am quite spoiled by the relatively smooth process. I have enclosed some before and after photos.

I originally called German to take a look at our kitchen and propose some ideas (through Angie's list). We liked him and his ideas, read some reviews of his work and met his favorite cabinet person, Sarah of Studio Dearborn. We hired German and Sarah for our kitchen renovation and are more than happy with the results. German was always available, had great suggestions and kept his wonderful and skillful crew working on the job full time. His crew is friendly, respectful and highly skilled in all areas of construction. We would definitely hire German for our next project!

I have worked with Classic Construction over many years and in two homes. German Ruiz and his team are professional and skilled in what they do. I have moved all over the country and have done renovations and construction in the many homes I have lived in and I have never been as happy with the process or the result as I am with Classic Construction. German Ruiz is a pleasure to work with from the moment he steps into your home till he leaves at the end. His men are reliable, courteous, extremely skilled in their craftsmanship. I like to be involved in the design process and German and his team were willing to work with me on my ideas and take their expertise and make my ideas come to life. If I wasn't sure what I wanted, German helped me to come up with solutions to problems that fit my budget and looked great. They have designed, constructed all areas of my house from building closets, drywall, HVAC, and general contracting. As they transformed my house they have also helped me solve some issues with small things that weren't working right and saved me money in the process. They are talented and work quickly but beautifully. His team has been with him a long time which says a lot about German and how successful they are as a team. I have many more projects for Classic Construction and will continue to work with them and recommend them.

German renovated the back end of our house, consisting of a1/2 bath, laundry room, and mud room. He came in on time and on budget, and we wound up with a beautiful area that we are very happy to use every day. I can highly recommend him.

Terrible service and owner was rude and disrespectful
