TNT just completed our new construction and did an excellent job. They are trustworthy, professional and have a fantastic eye for detail. They handled everything from permits, existing house demo and proper removal of asbestos, to helping me pick out fixtures and handling inspections for Certificate of Occupancy. They built this house like they were building it for themselves, meaning they did not cut corners or do sloppy work. They cleaned up nightly and worked with my neighbors for deliveries that might impact them. There were nights I would drive by at 9 PM and they would still be at the house working, then back again by 7 AM! The entire experience was top-notch and I highly recommend this team.

I can say
unequivocally that TNT Dreams (Tony and his Team) was the absolutely best
choice we made to do our kitchen renovation project. I have used several contractors in the past,
some of whom have made me very wary and made me lose my faith in general
contractors. This project was so well
done and it restored my faith is using a general contractor – TNT Dreams. Here are some of the reasons:
1. I compared the potential contractors. I compared TNT Dreams with one of the nationally-known home center installation services. I explained what my requirements were and both candidates came back with an expanded list of work items that needed to be performed to meet my requirements. After several iterations, I decided to use TNT dreams because of the total cost of the project, the way they were going to meet my requirements, their relatability, and patience.
2. He (Tony Perez) respected our concerns and idiosyncrasies. For example, we do not bring or use shoes inside the house. Tony conscientiously honored that request. Even without my asking, he would remove his shoes every time he came to the house for a meeting. During the project, he would don shoe covers whenever he had to go to the non-work areas. His team followed his exemplary work ethic. They cleaned up, swept, and vacuum the workplace each afternoon when they finished working. They installed plastic sheets with zippers that kept the dust from spreading to the adjacent rooms. The zippers allowed us to go in and out of the other rooms in the evenings.
3. TNT Dreams looked out for our interests. He spent time inspecting the cabinets when they were delivered and identified incorrectly shipped item, defective/warped material, incorrect parts – saving us precious project time as discovering these during installation would have lengthened the overall project duration.
4. Tony Perez is a perfectionist. He takes the time to plan the details and then works the plan. For example, the trim he installed was perfect, - the seams were imperceptible, cannot see the nail holes, etc. He installed additional backer support on the walls for the cabinets so that the cabinets were supported not only by the studs but also by the backers. He did not rush his tasks just to get the job done. He proceeds with a steady deliberate pace, measuring twice before cutting, etc.
5. They were very professional. In this kitchen project, he had to remove a load bearing wall, which not only contained the return duct from 1st floor but also the return duct from the 2nd floor to the basement. His team’s solution was the simplest, straight forward and most elegant solution that was proposed. The resulting ductwork was so elegantly done that you would have thought it was part of the original room design.
6. He used top-of-the-line materials and supplies. For example, he used closed-cell sprayed-on foam insulation instead of the regular fiberglass insulation on the outside wall of the kitchen. As a result, that kitchen wall has the highest R-rating in the entire house.
7. When unforeseen situations came up, Tony made sure that I understood the impacts of the situation; he came up with creative ways to get around the situation, explained the alternative solutions and helped me reach a decision. For example, when the window company (Castle Windows) delivered and installed a garden window that did not meet the agreed-upon requirements, and when the window company (Castle Windows) refused to address our complaints, Tony was very patient with the delay, worked with us and the granite countertop fabricator to redesign the countertop to work around the incorrectly constructed garden window.
8. TNT Dreams worked and stayed within their projected schedule. There were delays but these were caused by factors outside TNT’s control. For example, a week’s delay was caused by the incorrectly constructed garden window. Tony took it upon himself to try different gadgets that might make the garden window work properly with the original countertop design. Unfortunately, none of the gadget solutions worked. When it became clearly obvious that the window company (Castle Windows) was not going to respond to our complaints nor were they interested in correcting their mistake, Tony spent additional effort and time, working with the granite countertop fabricator to redesign the countertop to work around the garden window.
9. Tony was a man of his word. When he said he would do this or be there, you could rely on him to do that.
10. He went way beyond our expectations. For example, when there was leftover material (like trim), he used the leftovers to install trim in other walls adjacent to the kitchen. He even helped my wife picked out paint colors, cabinet knobs, backsplash material and design, lighting, transitional flooring, electrical receptacles, etc.
11. Tony always used his own personnel (i.e., did not subcontract the work out to other firms) and treated them well. As such, they followed his work ethic example. They worked meticulously even if no one is supervising them. His electrical, plumbing, ductwork people are as meticulous as he was. He and his team were so conscientious that they did not mind having a remote camera in the work area. My intention was to vicariously share in the building experience as I like that type of stuff. It turned out to be a time saver because Tony would use it to show me visual situations so that I could understand and make whatever decision he needed me to make.
There is no question that on my next renovation project, I will be using TNT Dreams. Thanks so very much Tony and the TNT Dream Team.

We are thrilled with our kitchen remodeling job! Tony and the TNT Dream “Team” are true professionals. The result is excellent - far better than we could have imagined. They completed our project in a timely manner, taking pride in each detail and finding creative solutions for every little challenge. Tony and his workers are extremely neat, courteous and trustworthy. We felt safe having them in the house. Tony always let us know the timetable, guiding us through decisions that needed to be made, and offering helpful suggestions and honest opinions. His experience was invaluable to us. We just can’t imagine why we waited so long to tackle this remodel – if we’d know how easy TNT would make it, we would have done it years ago. We will certainly be having Tony and his team back for our next project.

The attention to detail and craftmanship by TNT far exceeded our expectations. They had excellent suggestions throughout the building process to the finish in adding low cost, high impact asthetics that added to the experience.
I would recommend TNT Dream Enterprises to all. They treated our home as if they were building their home. They cleaned up at the end of each day, went beyond our expectations and that resulted in a superior finished home.

Over the years, Tony and his staff at TNT have worked in my home on a number of projects. The initial project was Tony’s suggestion to take the entrance of our home and through the use of carpentry, transform it into a warm, artistic area replacing stark walls. The professionalism and artistic technique was the standard. TNT did not disrupt our home life, working during the day and ending before the evening was upon us.
The second and third project was our basement. TNT transformed a cement floor, cement block are into a warm great room. Approximately 1/3 of the area was left semi-finished by laying a ceramic floor and creating a pantry that was not in the original plans.
We had a flood in our home subsequent to the basement work. It destroyed the entire finished portion of the basement. Because of TNT’s professionalism and workmanship, no plans were needed, materials were ordered, the job began and was completed in a timely manner.
Trust is an issue when retaining professionals and trades who enter our home. The men that Tony employs are as trustworthy as he, making my family and me always feels comfortable with having workmen in our home.
Please feel free to refer potential clients to me to discuss the work that you’ve done.

TNT Dreams has done several updates in my home. They installed a new exterior door with storm door which I am happy with because we could now open my door in nice weather.
They also put hardwood flooring in my kitchen. It turned out exactly how we wanted it. Tony and his workers were very courteous and trustworthy.
The last renovation TNT Dreams did was our bathroom. It was gutted and redone. We are so pleased with their work. We just love our new bathroom.
TNT Dreams are not only very professional but are completely trustworthy. We had no trouble going out while our renovations were being done. The best thing about their work was that any surroundings to the renovation sight was protected with drop cloths and when they were finished they completely cleaned up their mess. We also liked the fact that all renovations were done within the time that was stated, baring no complications.
We would recommend TNT Dreams to anyone who needed any general contracting done. We were very please with all that
TNT Dreams did and want to say thank you to them for their great work.
