Where are you from and how long have you been in construction?
I’m from Albania. I’ve been in construction for about seven years.
How did you get into construction?
I went to school for civil engineering and got a chance to work on estimating for companies and some project management. Then I started my own company.
What do you love most about construction?
Renovate to live, Sweeten to thrive!
Sweeten brings homeowners an exceptional renovation experience by personally matching trusted general contractors to your project, while offering expert guidance and support—at no cost to you.
I’ve been able to meet so many incredible people. Some of them are pretty famous or very good at what they do in their professional life. I find both meeting people and interacting with my team very fulfilling.
Who is your ideal client?
I like working with someone who knows the materials and ideas they want to achieve and has good communication skills.
What do you think is the biggest misconception that homeowners have when starting a renovation project?
There’s a misconception mostly about setting the budget. Homeowners know what they want to spend, but their budget is not always realistic.
Favorite New York City building or structure?
