I highly recommend that you ask how many jobs they have in the works at one time and get a firm…read morefixed project completion date before signing a contract with them. I'm in the middle of having an addition added. I signed the original contract in December and permits were secured in January. They did not start the construction on the project until April when the deck was removed. It is now mid September and I'm still waiting for the deck to be rebuilt. A few of the subcontractors have been great. A few have not. For the ones that are not, I keep getting excuses as to why they don't show up on site. Currently the deck guys have so many jobs going on that I haven't seen them in almost 2 weeks. I chose BLM because I thought they would be the best choice but if the subs have so many jobs in the works and don't finish one before starting the next then how is this responsible project management?

Terrible experience! We waited months for BLM to do the work on our home. After 3 walk-throughs,…read moreBLM brought in a contractor I'd never met to do the work. After a brief tour of our home, this contractor (who was from Bleeker, not BLM) wanted to dilute 90% of the work that was agreed upon in our contract. While the work he planned to do in our home was getting smaller, the quote was not. Even after months of waiting, BLM still did not have some of the key supplies that were needed, which would cause even more delays for me and my family. After our 4th, and final, walk-through, I had to ask BLM to leave my property.

Our Kitchen Project: (Just Completed)…read more My wife and I had been wanting to have our kitchen remodeled for several months. When it finally came time to do it, we started going through the process of trying to find the right contractor for the project. We spent several weeks researching until we came across Yorklyn Construction. Once we met Ben, we felt like the search was over. The advice, detailed thought he put into our plans brought a sense of comfort to us. The quotes were fair and where we hoped they would be. Starting with Ben, our experience fanned out to the rest of folks working for Yorklyn. Tom, who managed our project, was absolutely in touch with our thoughts as the project transitioned from demo to the "rebuild". He did a better job of "detail nitpicking" than I could have. From the beginning they stated it clearly, "we want it done right for you." They certainly lived up to that and exceeded it. The carpentry work with the cabinets they constructed all the way down to the floor thresholds / transitions were perfect, and I mean perfect. I'm sure a lot of contractors hold similar standards, but where Yorklyn pulls ahead is with how they treat your property, residence and your family. You become a bit more than a customer. If you are looking at having some work done, I hope you give these folks a look. I'm sure you will end up where my wife and I are. (Incredibly happy customers!)

To Whom This May Concern:…read more Typically, we are not people that post reviews. Oh, if we really don't like something we have been known to speak up directly to the company. We have to have very strong feelings to post in a public forum. After all, saying something about a person's lively hood should not be taken lightly. Often people are quick to criticize and slow to praise. We would like to change that. We have a house that was in need of updates and repairs. We also where in desperate need of storage. We invited several companies to come by and tell us what they thought and to give us a bid. Two companies that came by and told us the project was too big for them and no bid the project. Finally, it came down to two companies from the area, Yorklyn Construction being one. Yorklyn shot straight with us. They told us the truth, not what they thought we wanted to hear. The bids came in pretty close but Yorklyn impressed us with their candor and professionalism which gave us confidence that once they agreed to something they would meet their commitments. We were told that the process would be long (several months) and that we would basically be living in a construction site. Like I stated, they shot straight with us and it was a big project. Side note, they did everything they could to minimize any discomfort and were respectful that this was our home. We did have hiccup's but Yorklyn's staff and the sub-contractors where great. In a project this size there are hundreds of small decisions, but I can honestly say that everyone involved looked out for our best interests. If they thought we were making a wrong choice, they spoke up. For example, we chose the color of grout for the shower in a showroom. The tile guy put in the tile but thought we made a mistake with the color of the grout. He didn't just go and let us make a mistake. Instead he spoke up and brought it to our attention. He and the project manager discussed it with us and made suggestions that we elected to follow and are happier for that decision. We had a similar experience with their painter. Trust me things look different in a sample catalog or a showroom than in your house. I also wanted to say that their carpenters are great and their cabinet guy is amazing, very skilled and exact, a true craftsman. Our cabinets are just wonderful. We can also tell you that on the rare occasion that we did express displeasure, they made it right and when a problem was our fault, they were fair. Several of the Yorklyn staff and sub-contractors feel like friends. We have very warm feelings for these people. We have grown to trust them. Not only would we recommend them, we will call upon them in the future when we need skilled professional trades people. Often in business "quality "is defined as meeting or exceeding a customer's expectations, in our book, Yorklyn's work and the people that make up this company are the definition of quality. Sincerely, Sandy and Garry Stewartstown, PA

They were professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and most of all personable. On multiple instances, he went above and beyond to make sure our project was quality work while within our budget, which spoke highly of his character and client centered business model.

We hired Dwayne to remodel our bathroom and it was a really poor experience. When we signed the…read morecontract with Dwayne we explained that we needed the remodel to be done in a certain time frame as we were looking to sell our home. He agreed that it would not be an issue explained he had a team to complete the project and expressed that he would not keep our money if we ended up selling our home and deciding to not move forward with the remodel. He told us he would be able to complete the project in 3 weeks. Unfortunately, Dwayne kept delaying the start of our project. He had multiple excuses as to why he couldn't start our job. When he was finally ready to do it 3 weeks turned into 6. Not only that but he was a one man operation with no team. We lost faith that not only would he start the job but that he could finish in a timely manner. When we explained that to Dwayne he was insulting and unprofessional. He refused to refund any of our $5k deposit and failed to understand that as a contractor you can't delay people multiple times. I would never use him again and regret our decision. We found a contractor to complete our bathroom reno who started a week later and finished the job in two weeks. They were professional and opened our eyes to what a "good" contractor is. I can't emphasize enough to do your research and encourage you to find other contractors. If you decide to move forward with this company all I can say is good luck.

Dwayne Steele is amazing at fixing your home's shortcomings! We had a tight budget and he made it work. The main bathroom got a major remodel (wall repairs, ceiling repairs, wall patches, compete gut of the tub and shower unit, installation of new tub and shower, new cabinets, proper toilet seal) that was not only done on time but also professionally! Dwayne will be there on time, on task, and on budget every day. He will keep you appraised of the progress every day and will make sure to explain what is going on (VERY important for someone who has no idea about remodels!). Our project kept adding on (started with one bathroom and ended up being more 1.5 bathrooms!) and he remained composed and patient with picky homeowners :) Great guy, great price, great experience!
