VGC NYC Inc.

I recently engaged VGC NYC to do an extensive renovation of a 100 year- old co-op apartment with original kitchen and bathrooms. While these areas were given a more contemporary treatment, the architectural appointments in the rest of the space were restored or recreated to retain the original pre-war quality of the apartment. The outstanding result reflects the excellent quality and craftsmanship of the subcontractors particularly evident in the large amount of custom millwork. While the process was daunting, Ed, Felisha at the VGC office, and the project manager, Rodney, made every effort to assure that the work was done efficiently and to a very high standard. The VGC team working in the apartment was always accommodating, respectful and frequently went above and beyond to make the experience as pleasant as a long renovation could have been. Because I reside outside of New York City, the apartment is being used as a pied-a-terre yet, while I was not always available during the renovation, I never felt “out of the loop.” Ed was always available by telephone or e-mail if anything unforeseen arose and he always followed through without delay. Throughout, I felt that the process was collaborative and that my requests were given full consideration. The VGC team followed through on last little repairs when many other contractors might have called the job complete, coming back until everything was just right. This is one way in which Ed has consistently displayed professionalism and integrity and he clearly takes tremendous pride in getting the job done expertly. The final result of the renovation project is beautiful beyond my expectations. I have recommended VGC NYC to others and have only heard the best of feedback and do so again without hesitation.

Eddie and his entire team worked superbly with our family architect, and decorator to complete a major renovation in our pre-war coop on time and on budget. The VGC people were agreeable, respectful and creative. While their price was about 7% above the low bid we are convinced that ultimately we saved with their various value added ideas and have a beautiful home.

Dear Ed: I just wanted to thank you again for the exceptional work you and your team did in renovating our new Upper East Side townhouse. Your professionalism, dedication and quality workmanship set you apart from other contractors with whom I have worked in the past. The job got done on time and on budget, and the place looks spectacular. From the wine cellar and gym in the basement, to the refinished kitchen cabinets and flooring on the first floor leading into a reconstructed outdoor garden, to the wet bar off the living room, to the walk-in closets in the master bedroom third floor, to the re-flooring and step-up through French doors leading to an outdoor terrace on the fourth floor, to the re-flooring and build-out of a magnificent media and entertainment room on the fifth floor, the craft and care with which you approached each task is reflected in the ultimate quality product. We love our beautiful new home, thanks to you. And you have personally made yourself available early mornings, evenings and weekends, as the need arose, and for that, I am also extremely grateful to you. In short, I am a very satisfied client, look forward to working with you again in the future, and remain happy to recommend you anytime, so please feel free to share this letter with others. Very truly yours, R. Mastro

We hired Ed Varricchio and his company, VGC-NYC, to perform a complete gut renovation of our new home. He and his entire team were remarkable. Their professionalism and craftsmanship set them apart from any other contractors we have worked with. From the outset it was clear that they understood our concerns and were able to work seamlessly with us, our architect and our designer. They arrived on time and left a clean workspace every day and answered all questions we had promptly and honestly. What stood out to us was their ability to problem solve. We ran into unexpected conditions once the walls and floors were removed and had to deal with the building's engineers and architects and concerned neighbors. Ed was unflappable and continually provided practical and effective solutions to the issues as fast as they arose. Critically, he recognized that we needed to have a good relationship with our building and neighbors long after his construction had been completed. We love the home that he and his very skillful team built for us. We are grateful that we found such a wonderful team to transform our ideas and plans into such a comfortable and beautiful place to call home.

Transition, suggestion, and functionality. I have been on numerous VGC job sites. Every home is unique in its own extraordinary way. Working beside Eddie is always a pleasure!

This is just to let you know that we are very pleased with the excellent results of the recent renovations your company executed at 30 Sutton Place. It is always a gamble to embark on a project with a contractor that you have never worked with before. You made the experience pleasurable; always prepared, organized and punctual. And you kept the job site clean!

VGC NYC is a very experienced and professional NYC Contractor with qualified sub-contractors, who met and exceeded our's and client's expectations for budget, schedule and quality. I would not hesitate working with Eddie and his foreman Rodney again, and would highly recommend them to our future clients. Project was an interior renovation to 2,700sf prewar apartment on Upper East Side including kitchen, baths, extensive custom millwork, lighting, finishes, window replacement, electrical service and HVAC upgrades.

We are extremely satisfied with the major renovations completed by VGC, Ed Varricchio and his team. We had many challenges and hurdles to overcome but he handled them with great care and respect. One very big plus for us, Ed is a creative problem solver, he listens to suggestions, and using his immense knowledge turns them into brilliant solutions. The final project met and often exceeded our high expectations for quality and craftsmanship. We found working with Ed and his entire team to be extremely friendly, positive and totally professional. We can, without reservations, recommend VGC to anyone who seeks and expects the best.

We recently completed a total renovation of a 3-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side. Ed, Rodney and their team were amazing. From start to finish, their competence, attention to detail and professionalism were extraordinary. As a result of structural issues discovered after demolition, we changed many of the design details along the way. VGC was totally accommodating and extremely helpful in implementing the design we sought to achieve. Their ability to handle surprises, including asbestos and Super Storm Sandy, was truly impressive. The advice they gave along the way was priceless. Our guests are in awe at the quality of craftsmanship demonstrated in the finished product, and we couldn’t agree more. We can honestly say that we truly enjoyed the process and look forward to another project with VGC in the future.
