Projects & Testimonals
"Lucky and his team did an INCREDIBLE job installed custom cabinets! I had a very unique layout and wanted the new cabinets to match the existing cabinets in the kitchen. Lucky understood my specific needs and made sure it was clear to me what his team was going to deliver. From design discussions to arranging the date for his team to work on the cabinets to the final product, consistent communication makes working with Lucky amazing.
I cannot recommend Lucky any more than my review has. If you had a home project, I HIGHLY recommend you reach out to him. You won't be disappointed. Cheers."

"The quality of work was exceptional, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the renovation. The team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, ensuring that all our requirements were met and even exceeded our expectations. The project was completed on time and within budget, which is a testament to the company’s efficient project management skills. The team was always available to address any concerns and provided valuable suggestions that enhanced the overall outcome of the renovation. I highly recommend this contractor for any future projects and look forward to working with them again."

"From the first conversations to the end of our renovation and at every point in between, Lucky and his team were responsive and professional, and, importantly, they showed great craftsmanship in completing the work in our apartment. Lucky led us through the process of renovation in a meticulous, smart, and reassuring manner, advising us and answering our questions. Lucky and his team seemed to seamlessly combine what our vision was with their expertise and the finished product was done in a timely manner and done well (our kitchen and 2 bathroom renovation was done in about one month as he said it would be). And, the estimate he provided was accurate. We would highly recommend him."

"Lucky is amazing and he is always very responsive. I needed a new kitchen faucet: he bought the parts needed, and showed up to install my kitchen faucet in less than 24hours after I contacted him. And he did an excellent job with the installation."​

"He recently completed a full bathroom remodel for me as well as a facelift of my entire apartment - all while I was in and out of town. Throughout the process communication was easy and all details were discussed. Everything was completed within the timeframe we had set and the project even finished early.
Upon completion my apartment was left exceptionally clean (especially for all of the plastering and demolition that was done).
Lucky also made the process of navigating and obtaining all necessary documents and permits needed to remodel in a New York City co-op easy as well - not an easy feat. Overall, I highly recommend Lucky and his team for any future renovation"

"From kitchen remodel, to installing vanities and faucets, to laying flooring - I am always 100% impressed with Lucky's work. His estimates are accurate, he's punctual, notices and shares small details, makes excellent recommendations, and the work area is always cleaned up after the job is done. Most importantly, he has a "can do" attitude, which I have not seen in any of the professional that have given me quotes in the past. Highly recommended!"​

"Lucky was straightforward, responded to my emails quickly, answered every question in detail, finished the job ahead of schedule, and has BY FAR the most reasonable rates in town for the HIGH level of quality work he does. I cannot recommend Riverdale Home Improvement enough. They are exactly what you want when you hire a contractor."​

"They are of their word, very pleasant, prompt, focused, hard working, considerate of one's space, very clean, and very skillful. I look forward to doing more work with them. It is more and more rare to find such quality."​

I hired the company for a high end kitchen remodel for a 90 year old house. The owner, Lucky, is all business. He is honest, communicates well, and does the work the way you want. The work was completed in a very timely manner. He even fixed a nagging plumbing issue (without being asked and without charging extra) that was unrelated to the kitchen project.

""Lucky" Fatmir and his team did an amazing job in my kitchen. I could not afford to fully replace the cabinets, so they the cost effective option of refreshing the old cabinets instead of replacing them (they sanded the doors and painted them and the cabinets), which would cost me many thousand dollars more. They also replaced the countertops and the backsplash in the kitchen. Everything was done on time, quickly and efficiently. Also, it was easy to communicate via text and email, so I always knew what is happening and could follow up any time. A very smooth process throughout. I highly recommend this contractor."​

"When I hired Lucky I was planning to prepare my apartment for sale in the future. My husband had recently passed away and I thought I would not stay here that long. When he finished I had a home that I wanted to be in and live in for many years to come. A home that still contained the memories of my husband but was now my.home. This I attribute to the manner that Lucky works with the homeowner. I really can not express in words the type and quality of work that Lucky and his crew accomplish when they take on in a home. The first word that comes to mind is respect. They show respect to the home owner and towards the objects in the home. Everything is done to take care of what already exists in the house and the changes that are occurring. They are exceedingly neat and make it as comfortable for the people in the home as is possible during construction. They work quietly and steadily throughout each and every day. They continually clean-up as they go along. When Lucky sees something that would make a difference to the project he presents his ideas. For my home that meant adding crown moldings in the living room and dining room and hallways and some very small changes that made my whole apartment take on a new and glorious look. (Of course it added to the cost but it was worth every penny.). I wanted new radiator covers and Lucky’s woodworking skills are exemplary and they are beautiful.
Lucky is a problem solver and I feel that he has expertise in most areas that concern design and construction in a home but he also makes sure to consult with the homeowner over any changes that need to be made while the project is going on.
I asked lucky to rehang my paintings as the project was coming to a close. I felt he hung everything with the care of work being hung in an art gallery. This in itself was a unique experience for me. Also the quality and time they spent preparing the walls for painting was something my walls had not experienced in 30 years and each and every wall is perfectly smooth. They are careful!
Lucky and his men care about every detail to make the project perfect.
Finally Lucky in the last month has come back in a timely manner when the cable company did something that effected a wall and he fixed it saying as usual “ Let’s see what I can do.” He came up with a perfect solution.
Needless to say I highly recommend Lucky and his team for any home improvement project! He builds, he takes down, he fixes, he changes, he designs, he accommodates, and once again he is respectful."
