"aHa did a complete home renovation for us on a 100 year old home and 7 years later we are still absolutely thrilled with their work. Every inch of the house needed work, but we chose them specifically for their custom cabinetry work. Living in NYC, kitchens are not that big and you need to get every inch out of your space. Paulina came up with creative uses for each nook, great storage ideas, open shelving, hidden cabinets. All made to measure and all cabinets still move beautifully. We even worked together to create a custom stain for the cabinets. Bathrooms came out amazing as well, including a custom double vanity also with a custom stain. It’s a family business with a great attitude. Paulina was on our side with every question we raised, always supporting us and making sure our issues were taken care of. I recommend them with zero hesitation."
"From my first in person meeting w/ Paulina I knew I was in great hands. She was thorough and transparent with everything from design generation to execution and billing. Her team at Aha built me beautiful custom cabinets, marble counter tops and island, radiator covers, and functional shelves and drawers throughout the apartment. They also renovated my entire one bedroom apartment in history Forest Hills. I highly recommend Aha! Interiors to anyone looking for high quality and tasteful home renovation."
"Paulina, Albert, Andrzej and the rest of their team made my renovation experience such a pleasure. The design process with Paulina was incredibly fun, and the construction went impressively smoothly. Their attention to detail and high level of craftsmanship was apparent at every step. I most appreciated that I could TRUST them -- I knew they weren't going to cut corners and that they were going to make thoughtful decisions for me and my apartment at every turn."
"Aha! Interiors remodeled our kitchen, bathrooms, and closets. Paulina and every one of the crew members were an absolute dream to work with at every step. She has an impeccable design and color sense, knows how to work with difficult spaces and limits of all kinds, and didn't steer us wrong at any point. She pulled so much more space out of the existing floorplan through her designs; it's like gaining square footage without having to actually expand. She has great relationships with suppliers that made ordering what we needed smoother. The day-to-day crew did careful work, were great at cleaning up at day's end, and were overall kind people, which matters a lot if you're going to be living through the reno (which we did). The cabinetry is beautiful and seamless. No corners were cut in the work, and it shows. We love the results. Cannot recommend this firm highly enough, especially if you don't want a cookie-cutter renovation."
"We strongly recommend Paulina and the team. We hired them to renovate our 4 bedroom coop apartment. They handled all stages of the renovation, from design to the finished product. Paulina has a great eye - we were blown away by the initial renderings she created. For most of the rooms we went with her initial designs without change. When we had feedback, she was great at understanding our concerns and coming up with clever solutions. As people who are indecisive about things like paint colors, we appreciated her guidance and patience at every step. We have a ton of confidence in her judgment. The final product surpassed our expectations. It's been almost a year since the renovation and we're very happy with it. Paulina was also a pleasure to work with, responsive, patient and professional. For coop owners, Paulina has a ton of experience dealing with coops and was helpful navigating the board approval process and working with building management to address any concerns."
"My experience was fantastic from start to finish. We hired them to create a full wall of built-in cabinets, bar, and desk on the parlor floor of our townhouse, fully remodel a powder room, and make tons of cosmetic and design changes throughout the house. Paulina's eye is fantastic and she immediately understood what I was trying to do with the space. And the built-ins are nothing short of spectacular. All of our guests are amazed when they see what Albert did. I remember when I first showed my boyfriend the estimate for the work and he was like "How can this be what a few cabinets cost?" Once he saw the crazy amount of time and detail work Albert and his team put into them he was convinced we had actually gotten a great deal! I would absolutely recommend Paulina and Albert to anyone!"
"We highly recommend this firm! When we began the renovation process, we had no idea what we were doing. We were very fortunate to be introduced to Paulina and her team via Sweeten. They are a very trustworthy family business, something that is truly unique. They also handled both design and build, which was essential for us. Paulina guided us through the renovation of our entire apartment. Paulina has great taste and ideas and made everything stress-free for us.
She created a vision, created beautiful 3D designs, helped us pick out materials, and coordinated everything! Albert, Andy and the rest of the team built wonderful kitchen cabinetry, bedroom closets, barn doors, and more, and executed the entire renovation. Working with this firm was a wonderful experience and you would be very lucky to work with them! We were thankful that they discovered a leak coming in from the exterior of our building, which we had not noticed. They were extremely patient through delays that were beyond their control, and actually helped us coordinate with our management company so that the exterior leak could be fixed and we could avoid any further damage to the interior of our apartment. They also helped us find toilets that would work with our building's unique plumbing, which required much research and coordination.
They handle the management of the entire renovation process extremely well which was invaluable for renovation novices such as ourselves! Their handling of both design and build made everything so easy for us. Paulina guided us and also listened to our ideas in coming up with the designs. She also handled all of the logistics in terms of ordering and returning materials. She also coordinated with our management company and handled all the legal requirements. All of this made the renovation process stress-free for us! They also created custom kitchen cabinetry which completely maximized the space in our kitchen. Their millwork was also awesome in maximizing the space in a walk-in closet and creating a beautiful new master bedroom closet. The quality of their work cannot be overstated.”

"We hired their team to gut renovate a 2 bedroom apartment for our family - we could not have made a better choice. From the beginning, Paulina "got" what we were looking for: a modern, minimalist aesthetic that is functional for a family. Her creative design of the space, kitchen, closets, and built ins helped to maximize our space and make our apartment feel much more spacious than the actual square footage would suggest. She was given a nearly impossible task by our 9 year old daughter to find "teal and rainbow" tiles for her bathroom and she found a beautiful iridescent tile that has drawn the admiration of all who have seen it. The craftsmanship from Andy/Albert and their team on the construction work and building of the closets, kitchen and built ins is flawless and we constantly get comments about the high quality and beauty of their work. The entire team takes pride in their work, which has shown in the final product. I would highly recommend working with this team!"
