I had the privilege of collaborating with Conor and Declan from Elite Construction on the transformative project at Rosalyn Yalow Charter School. The undertaking involved converting dilapidated living quarters into a fully operational elementary school, complete with classrooms, a cafeteria, offices, and a fencing room.
The project had limited design drawings & an unforgiving schedule. Elite were excellent in budgeting, value engineering & execution of their work. There was no room for excuses on this job & Elite only ever brought solutions to the table.
What truly set Elite apart was their integrity; instead of capitalizing on potential issues with the drawings, they offered valuable advice on cost-effective methods and procedures, ultimately saving the client money.
Elite were a valued project team member & a crucial part of bringing the school’s vision to life. Their dedication insured the project was completed on time for the school year & under budget.
I look forward to many successful projects in the future with Elite Construction.

We originally worked with Elite to renovate our apartment in Manhattan, and we found them to have qualities that are hard to find. They paid great attention to detail, were on time, and left our home clean and in move in condition upon completion. Later on we hired Elite to undertake some repair projects in our building after we suffered a major roof leak. Elite helped to get our building restored and residents back in their homes expeditiously. Their staff is always courteous, on-time and does high quality work. They are also trustworthy and we were comfortable leaving them with keys to work on our home when we weren’t there. We highly recommend them.A++.
