They are "old school" and contemporary in their approach to any issues including structural damage, rotten wood, decaying piers and other challenges.

So my 85 year old mother-in-law hired Ace Leveling to level her house. Not having any experience…read morewith leveling I guess they did a good job as far as the leveling. The doors don't lock at this point. I'm reading this could be because of the wood being warped. Probably not the companies fault. BUT!, Ace Leveling left holes that fill with water every 6 feet all the way around the house. Now, as you can understand, my 85 year old mother-in-law can't get out there and fill all these holes. I'm 60 and 12 hours away. I can't do it either. Why this company didn't complete the job I'll never know. In hindsight, Ace would not have been hired if it was known they would leave the mess. Thanks Ace, nice going! There website says "We're committed to creating satisfied customers" That lie is at best a joke!

Ace House Leveling, LLC did excellent work on our house and it was a difficult job! Our house is a…read more130 year-old barge board Creole cottage that's raised but very close to the ground. The front original raised part of the house was mostly on the original delapidated piers whose footings weren't much wider than the piers and quite shallow and there's a recent two story addition to the back of the house that had been constructed on top of what had originally been a patio slab and woefully insufficient to bear the weight of the structure. Being ghosted by two other prominent shoring contractors after they scoped the job, Ace House Leveling came to the rescue. Nick, the company's co-owner, meticulously assessed the job and gave us a good low and high-end estimate and the final price stayed within. The crew of five guys worked diligently six days a week for three or four weeks, tunneling and demoing old peers, in the front and tunneling under and demoing cement slab in the back. they replaced old rotten sills and floor joists, excavated and poured cement into the new hefty reinforced footings, and set the new piers. Finally, they very skillfully and gently leveled the old house in a way that caused very little cosmetic damage to the walls. Crawling under the house once or twice to see this work in progress, I was blown away by the skill and fortitude of these guys to do this kind of hard, skillful work in such tight spaces. Now, not only do we have a house where we don't have to run a water hose during a drought to open the front door, but we can do some cosmetic work on the interior and exterior of the house that won't crack away and have to be redone each time the house settles a little bit one way or another. We're sitting on solid ground. Thank you, Ace House Leveling!

I started my search on Yelp looking for a contractor to do some repair work and entryway door…read morereplacement at my mother in-laws home. Out of three companies that came for quotes Castillo was the only company that returned with a quote...and a very reasonable quote. Part of the work was to repair a rotted section of siding. Castillo was honest and straightforward about making us aware that until they pulled all the boards back and started the repair that they couldn't confirm the amount of rot and damage, so the quote could change. Once we signed the contract for the work they promptly got the work underway. The workers were extremely courteous. They took great care to cover and protect the furnishings. They cleaned up after each day. The final work on all the siding, sheetrock repair and door replacement was fantastic. Alfonso runs a top notch business and top notch crew. I would highly recommend them and we will use them again.

Let me start by saying that this company is fantastic and should be hired for your next project or…read morerepair. I have had the opportunity to work with them twice, once to do a small dryer vent repair/installation and once to replace all my major appliances, upgrade my home's electrical breaker boxes and repair/install new outlets. Both times, their professionalism, frequent communications, and monetary value for services provided were second to none! During projects things sometime do not go according to plan, but this company takes immediate action to correct any problem and to make sure things are set right. I will give you an example, during my appliance replacement, the microwave that was ordered from a vendor in NJ (I believe) was delivered to these folks and had sustained obvious damage during the shipment...not caused by them, but man, before lunch, they had procured the exact same make/model from a local provider which made sure that they did not fall behind schedule; their problem solving was done seamlessly, and took away all my worry about this major project. Really cannot say enough good things about this team....they are my go-to contractor when I need their expertise...do yourself a favor and make them your go-to contractor as well!!

I hired Pokorn to do demo and framing on an interior condo renovation project. It is fortunate that…read moreI kept the initial contracts small. Thankfully, I wasn't stuck with them for the whole project. I have experience in renovation and historical restoration, and am detail oriented, and had high hopes for a successful professional relationship. On the plus side, they were always responsive to my communications, and seemed to understand what needed to be done. On the minus side, I don't know where to begin. All of the work, except management, on our project was handled by sub-contactors, not direct employees of Pokorn. Adding that additional layer of management inflated the cost of the job significantly. Too many generals, not enough soldiers. Their subs are of varying quality. For example, one subcontractor framed for a new closet in a way that partially obstructed an adjacent door because of a measurement mistake on the architect's plans. The sub didn't think "Oh look. Something's not right. I should ask how to proceed". They just went ahead and built it, even though the drawn plans showed no obstruction, necessitating tearing out the mistake and rebuilding. They also put the subfloors down in the bathrooms before the plumbing drain work was done. The plans clearly showed the fixtures being relocated within the rooms. Something else to tear out. When they removed the subfloor I saw that the bathroom vent duct for the bathroom below had very obviously been crushed (stepped on at the joist), which is why the bathroom vent below had no air flow. If the subfloor hadn't needed to be torn out, this air flow problem could have been difficult to diagnose and expensive to fix later on. Somehow all the generals didn't notice the substandard work. All these blunders would be comical if they weren't so frustrating. Pokorn did correct their mistakes after I pointed them out and asked them to, which is the only reason they got 2 stars. I should not have to do this work: it's their responsibility. Read their contract carefully before signing. It is written in a way that keeps too much power in their hands. They are strict about expecting payment within 72 hours of their submitting an invoice, even if they've screwed up and not yet corrected the work being invoiced. If you're late in paying, they can immediately stop work and require an extra $500 to start up again. You can make the payment "under protest", but then have to trust that they will fix the issue. To their credit, they always did, but I was upset that I had to trust a company that was messing up left and right. Why should this even have to happen in the first place? As is pretty standard, they ask for periodic payments as work progresses. They are the sole determiners of when a phase is substantially completed, which is not unusual, but ask for payment at a point when other contactors I've worked with (and I) would have considered the phase only partially completed. These examples do not exhaust the deficiencies or problems experienced during the short time I employed Pokorn. Let the buyer beware.
