  This is the 3rd or 4th time we've used Chicone Builders for major projects. The house was a custom "kit" house built in 1984, and has not had much love before we bought it in 2003. Chicone came in 2010 to put in custom split-maple cabinets with bamboo shelving to make a beautiful Library downstairs. They updated, flooring, put in an AC system, on-demand water heater, roof repair, shingles, and I can't remember what else. They also came when mice ate through the rolled radiant heat on the 2nd floor and the ceiling collapsed; they came quickly and the entire job was done in a few days. Last October, we started a major reno with an upgrade to the front walkaway, repair and painting of the cedar plank siding, and replaced all 46 of the windows, throughout the house, most of which have been blown for many years.. It was a huge undertaking, and wound up also including running new electrical for baseboard heating, getting rid of black mold in a bedroom wall, drywall work, replacement of 6 outdoor fixtures and installation of new fixtures, and several other issues they found that were not expensive but would have been if left undone. We've trusted these folks for over a decade and we already asked to get on their list to redo the 1700 sq ft of decking & fencing, and install new flooring downstairs. The are knowledgable, very courteous - they always told us where in the house they would be, and made sure we all had rooms to be in where we could Zoom to work.It's tough getting a contractor in central NY - and when I think of all the posers we've had come to do minor repairs, we have almost always regretted not getting Chicone in. They are the best.

  Chicone Builders has done incredible work on the Montour Falls Library over the last 8 months. The historic building (1864) was in great need of maintenance and repair. Chicone Builders weather-proofed windows and doors, restructured the accessible ramp at the back, remodeled and insulated our back room, and rearranged/rehabilitated all entrances. The entrances are stunning. The project was completed in a timely manner and the team was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

  Bookcases were going to be a big part of our new home renovation. We have been collecting large and very heavy artbooks for years. We had some clear ideas about what we wanted - simple, but beautifully finished built-ins for 3 rooms - 8 different cases total. Vincent Chicone and his crew understood exactly what we wanted while at the same time made a number of practical suggestions for both best price and best design to make sure we would be happy. Suggestions included making room trim and molding for the 3 rooms that integrated with the shelves to give our house a unified feeling. They came onsite and then returned with detailed drawings and finally we were able to visit their show room to see the real deal for the wood color we wanted, not only as a swatch but in shelf samples they had on hand. This was a big help as it also changed our minds in a very positive way, moving us away from using a dark wood to their suggestion to something lighter in color. Our room looks so much brighter now. Their experience was a big help to us. All of this was done in the most professional manner. We interacted with several people on the staff, particularly Jen and Lev, each one was a pleasure to deal with.
