About three years ago this summer we first used Real1 Construction to put a new roof on our house…read more The roof had years of storm damage which Jason identified and worked diligently to encourage our home insurance to pay. Fast forward to now and we had a bird break a panel and accessed our soffit vents. I called Real1 Construction and Jason came out again identified then bird damage in about 20 minutes. Only two days later and under an hour of work our bird damage was replaced. Again it was a fast and positive experience for us. Would highly recommend Real1 Construction if you need roof work. We will certainly be calling Real1 Construction again if/when needed. Great team that shows up and does the work. They are also very flexible if your schedule suddenly changes. Call Real1 Construction if you have any questions.

I finally reached out after they were an hour late and was told they were still on the previous job site and hadn't contacted me b/c that would be unprofessional, though clearly not so unprofessional that it kept them from replying when I reached out. Owner takes no responsibility, wants to make it very clear that things were outside of his control, which happens in contracting, but nothing prevents you from making a phone call.

AT came and was a complete professional from the start of communication to the end of the project…read more He scheduled and completed the job in a way that gave me confidence in not looking over his shoulder. He is honest and not shy to say that he needs more understanding when working in a flowerbed. (Thanks, AT!) He finished the yard(spring cleanup) and left no mess at all. Will use him and his team again FOR SURE. Thanks!

Too bad I can't give this company zero stars, because it deserves it. A few weeks ago, I had a…read moreplumbing issue and shared this info with my sister. Since she's a member of Angie's List, she volunteered to look me up a few reliable plumbers in the area. The first name she gave me was Mr. Jackson from Reliable Home Improvements. I called him on a Monday and spoke to him about possible resolutions to my plumbing issue. We decided that Thursday morning between 9-9:30am would be the perfect time for him to stop by and inspect my issue. I remember that I specifically asked him if I needed to call him back to confirm my appointment with him later that day. He said, "no, I have you on my calendar, but if their is a problem, I will call you back." I thanked him and told him I'll see him Thursday. Well, Thursday rolls around and I didn't hear from, nor did I see Mr. Jackson. Extremely unprofessional! I worked from home that day, so thank God I didn't have to take off, but it was still an inconvenience. Why on earth is it so hard to find honest, competent and reliable plumbers? This is a give and take situation. I pay for a service, you fix the problem...plain and simple. I wasn't asking to fix the problem for free, I was a paying customer! Moreover, if he wasn't available, a simple call to reschedule would've been the proper thing to do. Two weeks to the day and I still haven't heard back from this company. Horrible customer service! Take it from me and don't even bother contacting this company. My sister suggested that I call him back, but I refused because it's plenty of plumbers in the area that are willing and able to assist me. I found one too, he fixed my issue lickety split and was very professional! One and DONE!

I left a message, he never called me back. I found this odd as waited several days for a call back…read moresince I stayed over a friend's house. Who doesn't call back? Update: Called me back a week later, said he was on vacation. That's cool and all, but could you leave a message on your voice mail stating as much since you also use this phone for business? How am I supposed to know that?

While I was initially impressed with this company it quickly went downhill. We hired him to remove…read morea piece of wall from our closet so there was one big opening vice two smaller openings. He showed up when he said he would and he as very responsive to messaging. The day he showed up, another person showed up with him. He explained this person would be doing the work. He initially stated the project would probably take all day. This was not the case. He charged me $500 for 1.5 hours of work and they re-used all of the extra materials from our home. When he came back later to get paid and check on the work, I asked if it was still $500 because the guy wasn't here for even 2 hours. He said yes. Ok. I'm still on board at this point because I don't really know much about pricing (but $500, using no materials....that's like $200 an hour!). I called him again about our two bathroom faucets leaking, which I had showed him when he came to get paid. He said he could fix them. Said he would call. Didn't. Messaged me for pictures. And literally never called or responded back to my messages. Do not use this company. They take you for your money and leave you hanging when you need something.

Kevin came out to give estimate for a wide variety of handyman projects at our house. He was very…read moreprofessional and attentive (also masked for Covid). Estimates were fair, and he provided advice on a number of things such as plumbing repairs and new closet doors. We hired him for the first project which was installation of a water filter that involved drilling throughout granite counter and removing the garbage disposal in order to make room for the installation. He showed up when he said he would (often a problem in our area) and did a perfect job. It is so wonderful to have clean water. We will be calling Him again for all our projects. Next up, fixing a dragging garden gate and installing new closet doors. We highly recommend him!

Mike P. was an absolute pleasure to work with. I hired his company to renovate my 2 bedroom condo…read more We did floors, molding, paint, light fixtures, recessed lights and a bathroom renovation. He was honest and up front every step of the way. I got his information as a referral from my family as he had done some work for my grandmother, mom & dad and brother & sister-in-law. At no point was he EVER disrespectful to anyone in my family to include my grandmother, mother and sister-in-law. If he was, I certainly would never have called him for the work I needed done. As a matter of fact, he showed everyone in my family the utmost respect and professionalism along the way. Mike is a retired Army veteran and it is my pleasure to give him my business. One of the best things I liked most was that he gave me some ideas I hadn't thought of during the renovation. He was able to save me money along the way because he knew how to do the work more efficiently than I would have if I tackled these projects myself. I will be calling Mike to renovate my kitchen in the coming months and will continue to use Davis Contracting for all my home project needs!! I have attached some before and after pictures of some of the renovation. Thanks Mike!!

The quality of the work was terrible. he charged an exorbitant amount of money to power wash the house but left huge areas that were not clean, left gaps in the trim of a post that he replaced, and invoiced for work to replace rotten boards that was not completed.

I have never written a yelp review before, but felt compelled to review this business to save…read moreothers from having the negative experience we had. We contracted Martin to do the large scale job of renovating our home on Capitol Hill, DC. Martin was extremely unprofessional, constantly missing deadlines, asking for large amounts of extra money, working extremely slow and was unreachable for the entire month of December, not doing any work on the home and refusing to answer calls or texts. Martin also keeps a deplorable job site, and these conditions permanently damaged expensive finishes in our home, which must now be replaced (see photos of permanent wood stain spilled on marble counter and tile floor, as well as paint/compound on new hardwood floors). After another two weeks of no work being done and Martin avoiding phone calls, We finally decided to take the large financial loss, terminate his contract via text (which he never responded to) and hire a new contractor to finish the work he did not complete. The attached photos of the condition he left our house in speak for themselves.

Martin and his team are the absolute best. They helped us with everything from design of our new…read morebasement to painting and plumbing. It was completely pleasant, seamless and stress free to work with them-- which we know from experience is very rare in the home renovation space. Martin truly cares and really wants to make his clients happy -- and this shows in his work. We would highly recommend him to everyone we know for just about any job. If he can't do the work himself, he has great contacts with other contractors who will be able to help. (We has excellent experiences with every single one of his contacts, too). There's really no reservation whatsoever in recommending Martin as a highly professional and highly skilled contractor. Whenever gets to work with him is lucky!

From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took great care to prep their work area every single day and kept everything covered, which made a huge difference in controlling dust throughout our home. They also stayed right on schedule and completed the work within the timeframe they originally promised. What really stood out was their expertise--they offered thoughtful recommendations on improvements and changes that truly elevated the project. We've been so impressed with their work that we've already asked them for quotes on installing new windows and demoing our kitchen and half bath. We highly recommend Triple State Construction to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work!

I hired this company to redo a shower stall. Because they were already going to be doing concrete…read morework in the shower stall, I pointed out two, small, hand-sized areas of concrete that needed patching on my balcony. The owner Chris, said he would not charge me because it was negligible. I was happy that they were a good faith company who wouldn't nickel and dime me. Boy, I turned out to be wrong on that! Their work in the shower was just alright. It required a second pass to fix some lines that were not quite straight and they offered to fix it. The shower was substantially less work than initially scoped. The estimate was for a much larger job than needed to be done to fix the shower. I expected to get a discount on the initial estimate. Chris discounted me $200. I agree to pay him the full estimate minus $200 for services not rendered in the initial estimate. After the job is complete, Chris suddenly springs me with an additional charge of $100. He wants to charge me for the balcony patches, which were two child's hand-sized areas. This was quite irritating because not only did they not have to do as much of a job on the shower as they initially thought, but he was going to flip-flop on his initial word that he wouldn't charge me for patching the balcony concrete. He began harassing me via e-mail, using adjectives like "ridiculous" and questioning my character. This was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for. Within a couple of emails he began threatening to take out a lien on my property. That sounded odd to me, like he was bullying and on an anger trip rather than negotiating like a regular contractor. A lien on my property for a dispute over $100? Sounded unreasonable. I would have gladly paid the $100 if he had been honest with the charge up-front, or if he had sent me a change order in writing saying that the balcony patching would take more effort and he wanted to charge for the balcony. It was neither. The patches were tiny and he did much less work in the shower than he initially expected to have to do. It seemed like he was extorting me for additional money after the work was complete because he felt he could get away with threatening me, or because he didn't really like the fact that he had to do a second pass on the shower floor to get it right. I began talking to my condo building manager about this contractor. I learned that he fired one of his workers who was known for doing outstanding work on bathrooms, then threatened him physically if he ever worked on remodeling any of our building units. In short, this guy is trouble. Like the other reviewer also noted, he changes price quotes in the middle of a job or after the job is done, and gets nasty and short-tempered. There are a ton of contractors out there, save yourself a headache.
