    JF Hughes is one of the best contractors I’ve ever known. I have used them for several projects. I was immediately impressed with the their ability to identify and plan for very intricate details of my architects designs. They suggested and made on the fly adjustments that very much improved the quality of the build tenfold. I could not be more happy with the final result of their construction. And the best part is the owner was available and responsive to all of my questions and concerns throughout the process. Highly recommend.

    JF Hughes was engaged to take over a failed renovation in Brooklyn
    $500,000

    I am a NYC commercial lawyer, and I have engaged JF Hughes on behalf of numerous clients to perform construction work and consulting. Brian Hughes is the consummate professional who goes the extra mile to make sure his work is perfect. He is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend him highly.

    Building Renovation(s)
    $2,000,000

    I manage construction projects throughout the NYC metro area and have worked with JF Hughes on several large high end Condos/Coops/and commercial projects. Rarely do I find General Contractors that provide the expertise and attention to detail that JF Hughes provides. For level 5 finish construction, there really is not a better GC in NYC than JF Hughes.

    Floor installation, molding, etc.
    $40,000

    I highly recommend J.F. Hughes Builders. Outstanding service. Amazing work-product. Attention to detail. Extremely reasonable pricing. Very responsive to questions and concerns. Fair and accurate billing.

    I hired JFH to install new wood flooring throughout my cooperative apartment, install crown moldings and perform other punch lists tasks. The timeline was tight and my budget was tighter. JFH outperformed all expectations. The project was completed on time and UNDER budget. I'll certainly recommend them to all of my friends and family in New York.

    2 Bedroom condo renovation

    Brian, the owner of the company, very politely asked me if I would write a review here for work he and his team did in my 2 bedroom condo. The reason I chose JF Hughes was because of the positive reviews I read here. Returning to the website now and reading the last comment, which is very negative, I can only assume that person works for another company or is a disgruntled employee and is trying to negate or harm Brians business. I will tell you exactly just how well Brian and his team did with my project. It was a 2 bedroom condo on the upper east side of Manhattan, I have a crazy management company, insane by laws, etc. We immediately encountered issues with my buildings crazy Board members. Brian, the owner of the construction company, accepted my calls at all hours and even on the weekends. He came on site when I asked him to meet me at odd hours and once on the weekend. He got those initial problems resolved. The project continued with a few bumps, due to my management company and the board. Brian worked through these issues. His permits and insurance were always intact, I checked, and so did the board and mgmt company. His team was respectful of my neighbors by creating these plastic shield buffers (what I call them) outside of my unit, to prevent any construction debris or dirt from entering the hallways or other units. During the project, a wall was opened up and mold was discovered. Brian suggested a mold removal company at a great price. I did my own research as well, and discovered that the companies pricing was great - not the cheapest (I don't want cheap work) and far from being the highest. The work was done with perfection. The project was completed in three months even though we had projected five months. If I could post photos here, I would. My home went from a dated 1980's look to true museum quality work. The budget I had was $100,000. Brian and his team completed the work at a cost of $90,000. WHEN HAVE YOU SEEN A CONTRACTOR FINISH THE JOB UNDER BUDGET???!!!! I have nothing but GREAT things to say about JF Hughes Builders and Brian. Heck, I'm taking the time now during my lunch to write this review. I usually only take the time to post bad reviews for bad service. Brian asked me if I would share my experience and I am happen to do so.

    kitchen remodel
    $0
    High integrity

    I highly , highly, highly recommend JF Hughes Builder and the company owner, Brian. I don't necessarily recommend him and his company for their work - they didn't do any work in my condo. I highly recommend them for their integrity and honesty. I was referred to Brian by a neighbor who had used them and loved his work. I wanted him to gut renovate my kitchen. This was my first renovation ever - I'm 82 years old and retired. Brian told me I would need plans from an architect or designer for him to work. Brian supplied me with 3 architects. We went back and forth for a couple of weeks. I did tell him though that I had an urgent need for a dishwasher. The one I had was broken. Brian purchased and installed the new dishwasher for me while we were still in discussion over the plans and design. He did not ask me for ANY money at all. Ultimately, I could not make a decision about various features I wanted for my kitchen. Brian very nicely told me that I should try using a different contractor. We parted our ways from there. I applaude him for his due diligence and for not charging me for the dishwasher nor its installation. He showed me nothing but respect and patience for me and my needs and concerns. You don;t find that often out here anymore.

    I used Brian and JF Hughes to build my second restaurant a few years ago. I'm a bit late in my entry here, but I wanted to give him credit for an amazing job done. It's 4 years later and we have no problems with the work done, craftsmanship, etc.

    We used JF Hughes Builders for our Soho loft and our project ended up in a magazine. They are not necessarily the cheapest company in the market, but the results speak for themselves. If you are looking to get results and professionalism, I highly recommend JF Hughes Builders. My family and I are most pleased with the end results. Most importantly, the quality of their work is top notch and their service is excellent.

    Amazing contractor!! We are using him for another project. He renovated our first town home. We are using him to renovate two townhouses we just purchased. I first used Hughes based upon a recommendation from a former business partner who used Hughes to build his restaurant.
