Two men with a goal to revolutionize the industry of contracting and interior renovation in NYC have come together to create New York Modern Interiors http://www.ny-mi.com/. I was able to meet with Leonardo and Daniel for a quick interview. We met at Whisky Park in Midtown (100 Central Park South - an elegant location frequented by anyone who enjoys the sophistication of Trump's treatment). The duo was surprisingly young, but it did not take them long to impress me with the depth of knowledge about today's new trends and ways to do business in NYC.Daniel quickly pointed out that in today's economy those that are able to withstand the slow periods are the survivors tomorrow - "You see, Adam, it is all about knowing how to stay afloat in these tough times that will make you stronger when the business picks up. We decided to cut as much overhead as we could to be more resilient in this economy. One of the largest expenses that many businesses incur is rent in Manhattan. - With a better location comes a greater responsibility to be liable for your monthly leasing expenses; and if you are slow for any reason for a short period of time and your cash flow is off, that will be the first thing that will eat you alive. What can be done? Well, a business can choose to charge their clients "an arm and a leg" for their services in desperation to cover the upcoming due dates, or, if they don't, they might just find themselves having to liquidate their inventory and go out of business.""There is another way, however, to cut your costs" - pointed out Leonardo. "We both are mature enough to understand that the internet has revolutionized the way things work. Luckily, we are in the industry in which we can take a full advantage of it. We believe that by utilizing the internet we can deliver superior services for up to 70% lower than the competition. While many renovation companies in Manhattan that have large showrooms are finding it tougher and tougher to meet their current rent obligations with a lower income, our business is thriving! We have eliminated the enormous expense of a showroom from our business model. There are many benefits to that. Most importantly, our clients win! We do not have to factor in the costs of a showroom into our prices. Therefore, because our costs are lower, we are able to pass the savings on to our clients. Most of the showrooms will not have your complete kitchen or bathroom ready and waiting for you to see anyway. You see some renderings from a computer screen and then you see the complete product at your home once it is done. So, really, why even have a showroom if you never see the end product until it is in your apartment?""I completely agree with Leonardo" - added Daniel. "This has been our vision from the start - to deliver the trendiest and most modern interior styles to our clients in a timely manner for a fraction of the cost. With http://www.ny-mi.com/ and our most highly skilled and professional crew around, this has become a no-brainer. We are very easy to work with. Each client is assigned a projects supervisor who is the point of contact from the start to the end. Then, the work is broken up in three stages. In stage one, all the data, special requests and core design elements are gathered together. In stage two, our design team proposes several design ideas for the client's choosing and any adjustments are made, if necessary. In stage three, all the materials are gathered and the work is completed within the allocated timeframe.We work with major Italian, Spanish and other modern kitchen and bathroom suppliers such as Porcelanosa, countertops from IceStone, CaesarStone, Corian, Silestone, we have our own shop for Granite and Marble countertops, we have our own custom cabinetry shop, we carry tiling products form Isla Tiles, Trend-vi, DalTile, Porcelanosa. We are currently negotiating with several European kitchen manufacturers to be the exclusive distributors of their modern cabinetry lines. We also have options for green building products such as organic non-toxic paint, custom wallpapering, and bamboo flooring"I chatted with the gentlemen for a few more minutes about other topics. They were refreshingly optimistic about the future of this country. They said that they hope to one day work with Donald Trump since they love his success and his positive attitude. They finished their espressos and left, each of them on the phone returning phonecalls to their clients.
