Testimonials

“Anthony is a contractor who I have come to trust and respect over the years. Having renovated and built several homes, I've dealt with numerous contractors... I can only say that Anthony is at the top of my list. He has done my kitchens, bathrooms, structural repairs, outdoor decks, even facilitating A wine cellar. Absolutely top notch service, Anthony goes well out of his way not only to earn trust, but to illuminate any doubts whatsoever around the project that he's working on. Beyond all of the work that he and his team do, he also takes the time to actually help design. Often times responsive at any hour regardless of the time. I would recommend without any reservations whatsoever!”

“Anthony at HRI Solutions was amazing to work with. He was professional, courteous, and hard-working. He was on-site every day with his crew. He finished my kitchen renovation right on schedule and the whole project was completed within 4 weeks. He kept within the quoted price for the project and consulted with me on any issues and changes throughout the project. He was flexible and great at troubleshooting. Anthony was very focused on making sure that we were happy with the final project. His crew worked very neatly – cleaning up at the end of everyday and left the site safe and clean. He was also very good at making suggestions to improve the project such as fixtures, lighting, etc. Anthony has also completed several other projects for me including converting a bathtub to a walk-in shower and basement window well repair to prevent flooding, etc. He is a contractor that can work on any aspect of home renovation and repair. I would undoubtedly use Anthony on any future projects and recommend him for anyone looking to complete any kind of home renovation.”

"Anthony has done remodeling for us in the past and we were always very pleased with his work, so this time we asked him to completely remodel an older home that we purchased as our "forever home." Anthony took the house down to the studs moving stair cases, and adding rooms. The house needed all new HVAC, windows, doors, pluming and electric. Anthony handled it all. He stamps his name on every project and brings a hard-to-find level of excellence and craftsmanship to each project. He takes the time to truly understand what you want from the project and the functions and design you are looking for - even our two dogs rave about the dog shower and mudroom he built for them. We enjoyed working with Anthony and love our new home! We would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone who delivers what they commit to.”

“There is nothing more daunting than hiring a contractor. They all seem great at first, but it's only by working with them that you really get to know who they really are and their true level of competence. Even contractors who have come highly recommended by friends and colleagues can end up disappointing you in the end. I am an interior designer and run Grunberger Interiors Inc. I had an absolutely incredible experience working with Anthony and his crew. Firstly, they were a pleasure to have in my house. They were reliable, hard working, very tidy and cared about the quality of work they were doing. Everything had to be perfect- Anthony never settled for second best options or shortcuts. His reputation and my satisfaction were of paramount importance. Of course, in every renovation, there are always surprises and challenges. It was easy to work together with him to problem solve all difficulties and he was available to me at all times if I had any questions or concerns. He is just finishing off the last details of my master suite, and 3 bathroom remodels. I don't really want him to go, if I'm being truthful. I know though that I shall be working with him shortly on a condo renovation project that I just received. I am looking forward to working on many such projects in the future with him. Thank you Anthony! “

“Anthony and his crew can only be described in superlative terms. His craftsmanship is outstanding. His work ethic is beyond comparison. His dedication to providing a project that will totally please his customer and himself is evident throughout his work in our home. The kitchen was in dire need of updating since we returned full time to our home in New York. Electricity issues were identified by Anthony and a contractor was acquired quickly and he completed the job to our total satisfaction. Our patio and front stoop and walkway needed repairs. They were detractions from the beauty of our Tudor. Now, neighbors and friends compliment us all the time on their beauty. Our only regret was that we didn't find Anthony when we first began work on repairs and updates. He has style, excellent ideas, and is reasonably priced for the excellent quality of his work. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any project, big or small, that requires professionalism and quality outcomes.”

"Anthony Marino and his crew hit it out of the ballpark once again with a breathtaking bathroom remodel! Our 60-year-old bathroom seemed beyond repair, but Anthony came in and pulled it out the studs in no time. He was patient with all of our crazy ideas and willing to do whatever it took to give us the bathroom we wanted. He waterproofed the entire bathroom, used the highest quality materials for our budget, and always kept us apprised of any issues that arose. One thing we really loved was Anthony's efficiency - he didn't bounce from our project to others, leaving us waiting. Instead, he came in and got the job done - even worked on Saturdays to tie up loose ends. In 3.5 weeks, we went from a bathroom we were embarrassed to let guests use, to a bathroom straight out of a high end design mag! Everyone - literally everyone - who has seen our new bathroom gushes about it and asks for Anthony's number. We couldn't be more satisfied!”

“This was a business related call. One of our exec must have sat on his desk drawer because the face popped off. He came and with a tremendous amount of professionalism fixed it. We have heavy wooden solid double doors which would not close properly. I had a locksmith, the security company and the original carpenters come to try to fix them. They all gave us a song and dance about the cold, the wood expanding, blah, blah, blah. He looked at the door and said, “give me twenty minutes.” In that twenty minutes he did what a multimillion dollar company, a locking expert and the original carpenter could not do. We had a kitchen cabinet drawer that broke a piece off and front was hanging off. With a bit of ingenuity he fixed it so we would not have to purchase a new one. If you have a project or a problem, CALL HIM!”

“We purchased a beautiful John Keane built home in Brookville that was 10 years old and needed a facelift. Once we met Anthony Marino, we knew we found the man for the job. Anthony knew exactly what we wanted and was so easy to deal with. From start to finish, Anthony has been nothing short of spectacular. We painted the entire interior of the house, literally every room was painted and done without a single brush mark. He updated many of the original built-ins to a more modern, fresher look. He found the reason why we had a leak in our library ceiling and quickly had the upstairs shower dismantled and repaired and the ceiling fixed. We did a kitchen makeover that included refinishing all of the cabinets, new marble counters and backsplashes and it looks like a picture in a magazine. I have used him for many more things around the house and his knowledge and expertise is incomparable. I love the fact that I can pick up the phone day/night and call him if we have a problem and know he will take care of it ASAP. He has a key to our house and we trust him explicitly. We know we have made a lifelong relationship with him!”

“Working with Anthony was great. I chose him over others because he is very hands-on and involved in every project. Other contractors leave jobs unattended for weeks at a time. Not Anthony. He and his team were working on my space almost daily. I had a hard deadline of 2 months and he made that happen. Not only did he do the requested work, but he suggested things that improved the original designs.”
— Courtney D.

“Anthony is a true professional and doesn't leave until the job is done to perfection!! I made a huge error in ordering a large fixture and Anthony was more than pleasant and accommodating when he had to come back and do the installation after I corrected my error - he even ended up ordering the correct size fixture and bringing it to my house because I had a time constraint! I had an unexpected emergency with another room in my house at the same time and Anthony figured everything out for me and saved me from seeking out plumbers and electricians in a hurry! Anthony is a gentleman and is very reasonable when it comes to pricing!! More importantly, he stays in contact and always arrives promptly! I have found the ultimate professional and am relieved to know that I now have someone who will be able to address the unending needs of an older home!”
— Carole R.

“Anthony Marino is a refreshing change to the numerous contractors we have retained over recent years. He is multi-skilled and able to handle both small and larger projects. His jobs come in very close to his quotes, he shows up when he says he will, he does amazing work with a perfectionist's attention to detail and advises every step of the job as things sometimes change as the job goes along. He is also very tidy and cleans up after the projects are done. I have several more projects lined up that I will retain his services on and am very happy we found him!”

“I cannot say enough about how great Anthony and his crew are professional, meticulous, clean, helpful and true gentlemen. Anthony started when he said he would on our kitchen remodel and was there everyday until it was 100% complete.. a little under four weeks. I dreaded the remodel because of the dirt and dust and disruption of our normal schedule... but I experienced none of that with Anthony. Half the time we did not know exactly what we wanted and were pretty vague, but Anthony took what we did say and turned our dreams into our reality. We left a lot of details up to Anthony with no hesitation and were always blown away with what he came up with. Not only that but we never felt taken advantage of price wise as we have with others who have worked in our home. As a matter of fact, if we had an idea that we might not have been able to afford he came up with the perfect solution at the most economical price. He is also a craftsman with some amazing skills. When I walk into my new dream kitchen, I still find details of Anthony’s work that I did not see before. We already have plans for Anthony to come back for other projects we want done. You cannot find any better than Anthony.”

“Anthony is amazing. He came in to renovate our kitchen and got it down in two weeks. It was such a 180 of a design and now it's a dream kitchen for our starter home. Anthony was honest with the evaluation and quote and then along the process, only told us about issues that he would recommend we handle, and we trusted him. Anthony worked hard with his crew, was professional but personable and friendly, quick but diligent, and just an overall solid contractor. The digital layout that we decided on after just a little back and forth turned out to be 99% just like the finished product. He provided his recommendations based on our budget when we were looking at countertops etc. and brought us to the source to see them ourselves. He stained our wooden floors beautifully and put in recessed lighting. They took down a wall and opened up our layout. I'm extremely happy with the work and the result!”

“We've had the Solutions team over several times within the past year to do a wide variety of projects, installing a new portico to the front, sliding glass doors, kitchen remodeling, tiling, etc. We couldn't be happier--the boss is part of the team, working and making sure the jobs are done right. After having nightmare contractors in the past, it was a pleasure having these guys show up on time, be genial and respectful, do a great job and cleanup each time. As the company's name suggests, the boss recommends options for the job dependent on the customer's budget and needs. No job seems too large for these guys. It's great knowing we can trust Solutions HRI when we need them!”

“Anthony renovated a full bathroom in my home. Even though I work full time and was rarely home while the project was underway, I trusted Anthony to do a quality job, and he didn't disappoint. He was in touch with me via text or phone any time my input was needed. He was a pleasure to work with ... honest, responsive, and truly concerned with satisfying his customers. During the course of the project and afterwards, he continued to brainstorm and address any minor issues that arose as well as other issues that arose unrelated to this project. He showed up early in the morning as promised and worked some days well into the evening. I am so delighted to have him as my contractor, and I look forward to working with him again.”

“I was referred to Anthony by my plumber after my basement was flooded.  Our water remediation folks had already ripped out two feet of drywall and insulation all over our basement and we needed someone to add back the insulation, drywall, repaint the whole thing (including ceiling), add baseboard.  Plus, we were selling the house so we hired Anthony to repaint other rooms, do other touchups and repairs.  Throughout he was very honest and clear, helped us review our insurance estimates and explain to our insurance company what needed to get done (even spoke to insurance rep personally).  We also had a tenant who had to live through a renovation, but he was very respectful and handled the whole renovation very smoothly and quickly and she had nothing but praise.  The renovation came out very nicely, as our real estate agent attested to, and he did it at a very reasonable cost and in short time.  He gave us advice on where we could cut costs but did a quality job. We live in another state, so I really appreciated that he was direct and easy to work with.  I was really impressed with how trustworthy he was, true to his word, and would happily recommend him to any friend or family member.”

“Anthony is very professional and fair and honest in his dealings. He shows up when expected and makes realistic time estimates which he keeps. I hired HRI (they’d done good work for us previously) to complete several small projects to improve the appearance of our house in preparation for sale. Anthony delivered more than promised due to extra painting required. My husband commented that the house looked so clean, maybe we should stay! The day the work was completed, we got a full price offer, and we are now in contract. We definitely recommend HRI.”
— Fran M.

“I hired Solutions HRI to assist with a light commercial install project inside the Bloomingdale’s store in the Roosevelt Field mall. Anthony was on time, courteous, knowledgeable, and focused on taking care of my needs. He cleaned up following his work and never gave the impression that he was there to just do a job and get out. I would hire Anthony again without hesitation.”
— Dean R.

“Anthony saves the day! I was moving an entire house. Things were going smoothly until the movers had to take a tall armoire down the stairs. They and the armoire were stuck. They tried different approaches to no avail, and the clock was ticking. I had hired Anthony to fix two door locks and some other minor concerns. I called him up, described my situation, and within 40 minutes, he was at the door. The banister had to be removed and he did so without damaging the wallpaper or the newly varnished flooring. The movers got going and I had piece of mind. Very talented man and very reliable.”
— Howard O.

“Anthony and team are amazing! I found Anthony on Yelp and I am so happy to recommend his work.  He does any job- big or small - and has so much patience. He is extremely responsive (calls you right back).  He found corrective solutions to issues/problems that we have been dealing with for years. Extremely trustworthy. You can really tell he takes pride in his work.  The work is superior quality, neat, timely - stays onsite until he and the customer is very satisfied. Very proactive and does an excellent job of analyzing what the best solution would be for the job and the customer. Thank you Anthony!!!”
— JM C.

“I hired Anthony to demo and rebuild an overhang at the rear entrance of a commercial building in New Hyde Park and couldn't be happier. From our first contact Anthony was responsive, honest, and fair, and clearly has experience working with an out-of-state owner. I felt completely comfortable allowing him to use his expertise to make any required decisions, and the high quality of the final result only validated this. I look forward to working with Anthony again in the future and would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a contractor.”
— Keith M.

“Anthony recently made many renovations to our home after working on a number of projects previously with our family. From re-painting all of the walls to building a new stair banister to creating a custom walk-in closet to installing light fixtures, he did it all.  He is extremely professional and pays great attention to detail.  He was very thorough in every aspect of our home remodel and was extremely responsive in giving us updates on the progress of the project.  Anthony was also very responsive to the style we were trying to achieve with our home.  He gave us exactly what we wanted- either following discussions or pictures for inspiration- and was able to direct our decisions to colors and products that he knew would fit the style we were trying to achieve.  We quickly knew we could trust him and that he had our best interest in mind. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing any general contracting work and we certainly plan on continuing to use him in the future.”
