Top-notch contractor and GC in Suffolk and Nassau County. We had a truly fantastic experience with the entire team from start to finish. Caleb was incredibly accessible, and his entire staff was always responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with. The finished product was well beyond our expectations—the quality and attention to detail really stood out. Pricing was fair and reasonable, the process was smooth, and working with them was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend without hesitation.

We engaged with CIC to build a 1450 sqft extension with a full bathroom and a wet bar. Evan was our 1st point of contact and stayed highly engaged throughout the process. The technicians that came to perform the construction from start to finish were professional and friendly. If your looking for a company that will confidently build whatever you need - this is it. Ask for Evan , he is very helpful and knowledgeable

Center Island Contracting renovated my home from a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom to a 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom. It was a massive undertaking but it was successfully completed. My house is unrecognizable from the original structure. My friends and family are always impressed by the outcome. My financing was done through a construction loan and the team was patient and provided whatever documents were required for me to secure the loan. Have a conversation with Center Island to explore your options. It’s worth a try. I love my house!

I would gladly hire them again for a future construction project, and I can think of no higher compliment. For this project, they updated a bathroom and helped us add a new primary suite. Pictured is the updated bathroom. The job was finished on time with the permit, the work looks great, pricing was fair, and they stayed communicative and patient every step of the way.

Recently finished up a large renovation project where we added a new addition to our house which included a new primary bedroom and bathroom. Definitely satisfied with our choice of Center Island Contracting. From the initial quote all the way to the finishing of the project, everything was laid out in detail and done accordingly. Through out the entire process everyone at Center Island answered any questions we had and explained everything they did. Any issues that came up during the renovation was explained thoroughly with multiple options presented to us. I highly recommend them and will be using them for any future renovations.

We recently completed a nearly full remodel of our new home with Center Island Contracting, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Caleb, Evan, Bill, Myron, Raquel, Alicia, and every other team member were a pleasure to work with, and it was clear that our project was so much more than a job to them. In addition, the recommendations that they gave us for appliances, HVAC, closet customization, and painting exceeded our expectations for both pricing and job quality. We worked with several reputable companies while renovating our previous home, but I would unhesitatingly recommend CIC over all of them. It has been almost 3 months since we moved in, and we are still amazed at how precisely and impeccably CIC converted a vision in our minds into our dream home.

Nothing could have ever prepared me for the overwhelming process of completing a full home renovation but with the team at Center Island, they guided me every step of the way! Despite the exhausting list of frustrations related to any construction project, Center Island did their very best with making the process as seamless as possible. Center Island is absolutely a one stop shop for all of your construction needs especially their great design center to assist you with all your design needs. Working with Evan and Bill was a pleasure, as they always addressed my questions and concerns promptly. Even during the times when I was not the most patient client, Evan and Bill always remained professional and committed to achieving the desired outcome. Most all of all, I could not be happier with the outcome of my beautiful home! I am forever grateful for Center Island making my dream house become a reality.

Project type: Addition First time doing something that big to the house, don't very know what I get myself into, but lucky we found CIC. Overall the whole process was smooth and they competed everything we wanted/asked for. There are some minor hiccup here there during the built but they handle it well and address any problem professionally. Have no communicate problem, always respond our calls and questions even during holiday. Huge thank to CIC.

After reaching out to different contractors to complete a dormer/first floor renovation to our home, we came across Center Island after seeing a project being done in a neighboring town. CIC did a beautiful job putting up our dormer. We were very happy with how quickly the dormer came about and how respectful the team was to our neighbors. They kept the neighboring properties on both sides of our home clean and undisturbed. CIC made it easy to design our home and make decisions, especially with having an architect and designer on staff. We have been very happy with quality of work they have completed so far. Anyone who comes into our home cannot stop talking about how beautiful it is. We are looking forward to the project being finished soon and having the home we always dreamed of! Thank you CIC

We can't thank Center Island Contracting enough or the beautiful job they did renovating our home. Everyone who was part of the project was professional and thorough. Evan listened to our ideas and made them even better with his vision and expertise. John handling the architecture and making the permit process on our end effortless. Bill, our project manager, patiently addressing all our questions and concerns, making sure everything got done as it should. Caleb coming through in the clutch with the line voltage thermostat and flag pole lighting. Louis, Louis, Myron (and his son), Chris, and the entire crew who put in all the hard work doing the build. Their skill is top-tier and the nicest people you will ever meet. We are so happy we went with CIC for our project and would absolutely recommend them.

Stumbled across CIC randomly searching contractors & so happy we did. Evan offered many options & worked with us to get our dream off the ground. Bill (their project manager)has positioned our job to be the best quality craftsmanship we could ask for & made us thrilled to work with them for one of the most important decisions people can make in their lives. Improving our livelihood is an understatement! Many thanks to the entire team @ CIC.

During COVID, me and my wife thought of having a nice master bedroom addition(with en-suite ) and walk -in closet that looks and feel like a nice hotel (since you can’t travel at that time). Center Island Contracting made that happen for us. We are very happy with what they did to our house. I get compliments from everyone (even strangers) that pass by our house (we had the exterior of the house renovated as well). Also, you can trust all the employees that they will send to your house. All of them are really nice and respectful. Special mention to Billy (construction manager), he helped us a lot go through the process from start to finish. Special thanks also to the bosses (Caleb and Evan) , thanks for the great job.

Was very happy with the quality of work that we ended up with. We did a first floor demo including gutting our kitchen. The kitchen along with our fireplace/built-ins came out looking fantastic. I would definitely recommend Central Island to friends and family for other jobs. As well as anything I do in the future.

CIC performed a gut renovation of a sizeable bathroom for us as well as transferring our washer/dryer from first to second floor. The bathroom came out beautifully! The entire team was easy to work with from Myron to Luis and Chris who came in for plumbing. Our project manager Bill was particularly wonderful - always responsive to every text or call and just overall a great guy to work with as he was easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy.

This review is long overdue! CIC completed a major home renovation for our family over the course of ~6 months. The entire first floor of our -4000sqft home was gutted to the studs. We added a bathroom, removed walls, installed two steel beams, reworked a kitchen, and so much more. From the beginning, everyone at CIC was responsive, understanding, and above all proactive. It’s hard to see the big picture when you’re in the thick of it but Caleb is truly a mastermind behind the scenes. Every single day was, for the most part, orchestrated down to the most minute detail. There wasn’t a single day for literally months that there wasn’t a at least one CIC employee doing something to move the project along. A project of this size is stressful, there is no way around that but we knew at the end of the day this project would be done the right way. The guys at Center Island truly became family, the same crew showed up day after day. Big big shout out to Luis and Myron who were the kindest humans. We were so lucky to have them helping us. Honorable mention to Chris who brought the humor! We really loved all of the guys. My husband and I have recommended them to many of friends and would continue to do so. We are always happy to share our “success story” as so often you hear so many negative things. One other thing to note, our project spanned a time of economic instability. Prices were rising by the day and it was stressful worrying about what that would do to our project’s budget. Caleb and Evan were the utmost professionals walking us through this very difficult time, always leveling with us, always full disclosure, and always handled difficult conversations with tact. Thank you to CIC!

We used Center Island to renovate out Kitchen, Family Room, and Bathroom. The job required a lot of relocation of major plumbing and structural components. We are incredibly pleased with how it all turned out as its absolutely beautiful. The team is very respectful and professional and they take a lot of pride in their work. I would definitely use them again on other projects.
