Deck railing installation is one of the most safety-critical parts of any outdoor deck project. At Hughes Home Improvements, our family owned and operated team handles the full scope of railing work for Staten Island homeowners.

My wife and I are senior citizens and we needed a complete renovation of my upstairs bathroom. The old bathroom included a water jets tub which requires you to lift your leg up and over that could lead to a terrible fall. We developed a plan with Jeff and his crew to completely demolish the existing bathroom down to the bare studs. We also eliminated the need to keep the radiator for heat. Since the entire bathroom was open to major improvements. The plumbing and electrical components had to be to be completely replaced. By removing the bathtub we were able to have a virtual step-in shower with overhead and wall components. In addition, we added a portable adjustable wand that can be used whether standing or sitting on the shower bench. The entire bathroom floor - both in and out of the shower along with the shower bench is heated by a program used by the homeowner. We also upgraded our toilet with a Toto Bidet which users can adjust the water heat. We replaced the mirror with a user friendly light mirror combination as well as keeping the humidity off the mirror. By removing the radiator we had Jeff put in a heated towel rack. And in order to replace the heat provided by the radiator, Jeff put in a combination overhead heater component with exhaust fan. Jeff also put in ADA compliant shower bars in and out of the shower area. Jeff also uses an expert in tile installation. And Jeff has deals with Staten Island distributors for a significant price savings. Jeff also uses experts in glass shower door installation. In summation, Jeff and crew were extremely professional and courteous. Another great quality they exhibited was to clean up the work area every day. Therefore, if you need a great price for great work, you can’t go wrong with this great firm.

Jeff and team rebuilt my entire house from the inside out. I had so much work done. Literally every room in my house. My bathroom and kitchen were both remodeled last in the late 80s. My kitchen was dark and enclosed. I had a separate dining room that I never used. He had a stair man who built my stairs out of oak. He even built rooms in my basement. His team was efficient, neat and quick. I recommend them to anyone who needs a contractor. For any job big or small.

I could not be happier getting this bathroom reno done with Hughes Home Improvements. Jeff and his entire crew were always on time, respectful, and genuinely great to work with from estimate to finish. Every part of the job from demo, framing, tile work, plumbing, install and glass was handled by skilled pros who clearly care about the quality of their work and were all really nice. This was a full gut renovation of a 3 piece bathroom, and I was really impressed with how clean and organized the team was. They sealed off the work area to keep dust and mess to a minimum which made a big difference since I was on the same floor working from home during the renovation. Jeff was honest about the pricing and clear about how long the job would take. He was always available by call or text whenever I had a question which made the whole process feel easy. When unexpected issues came up he was flexible and ready with solid workarounds and solutions. I have had some bad experiences with contractors in the past so I always get anxious about renovations. Working with Jeff completely changed that. It feels great to finally have a contractor I can trust and someone I will definitely return to for future projects. Highly recommend.

We used Jeff and his team for our kitchen, two bathrooms, and other home renovations, and they were fantastic to work with. Fair, communicative, and always professional. The crew kept everything clean, and the quality of the work is excellent. We highly recommend them.

We contracted Hughes Home Improvements to do a large multi level renovation to our house. They came highly recommended from my neighbor who had a bathroom reno done a few months earlier. We gave Hughes Home Improvement a call. When Jeff came to look at the job and give an estimate we were more than happy with everything. He had great suggestions that we never even considered and it was cost effective as well. Jeff and his crew were always on time, always did everything they said they would do, never cut corners, and were extremely professional. Every morning we would meet and go through what was happening at the job, if we wanted to discuss anything, and he answered all the questions we had. Jeff and his crew were on site everyday until the job was completed. Jeff was always available anytime we called. I would highly recommend Hughes Home Improvement. They take pride in their craft and understand their business. Handing your home to someone is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly but Jeff and his crew were outstanding, trust worthy, and professional.
