Our story
How we got here.
Alex Makarov moved to New York in 2011 with a trade license and a simple idea: fix things right, charge what's fair, and always call back.
What started as a one-man operation out of a van in Park Slope has grown into a team of 12 licensed professionals serving all five boroughs — but we still answer the phone ourselves.
