I contracted with Nick at BrightHOME to blow insulation into the exterior walls of our 1920's home…read more We hired BrightHOME primarily because of the time Nick took during the sales process to investigate potential air leaks and to attempt to find us the best solutions to improve energy efficiency and warmth in the house. The team arrived on-time as scheduled and finished in the allotted three days. They cleaned up everything and returned our wood siding as best as possible. One item of note was that we had some cellulose "leaks" from the edges of walls and floors or from electrical outlets for a few weeks after the job. Nick had told us this is likely to happen in older homes and we were expecting it. A few vacuums later and this side-effect disappeared for good. The one thing that makes it hard for me to give BrightHOME a fifth star was the condition of our wood siding after the job. Nick had indicated that his team would remove squares of wood siding to blow in the insulation. He said that after the job, we should expect some "scoring" between shingles where they would cut the siding to remove it. I would rate his explanation and the facts as not quite aligned. It is true that there is scoring, but we have a number of spots where the wood cracked. Had I not already had plans to paint the exterior of my house, I might have been annoyed at the damage. To be fair, someone looking at the house from the street would not notice. But coming up to the house, it is clear that discrete rows of siding had been removed and returned ... something to be aware of if you live in an older home with wood siding. I can't evaluate the ultimate effectiveness of the work because we are experiencing a warm winter. In any case, BrightHOME seems to have done a high-quality job, and Nick Ricciardelli was just amazing to work with. I'd recommend him and the BrightHOME team to anyone. Very satisfied.

Pretty darn happy!…read more The gents first did the energy audit on the house, showing me things I didn't know were wrong and (more importantly) showing me things I thought were wrong but were actually fine. When we agreed on price, gents did a thorough job and an excellent clean up. Took about a week, plus an extra day that was added on thanks to last year's awful snowstorms. My bills have gone down, my house is warmer this winter (though in fairness, it's pretty warm outside up til recently too) and nice and cool in the summer. Happy with the whole thing, would and do recommend!

I had a popcorn ceiling with asbestos that needed to be removed. Danny is phenomenal. Quick to…read morerespond, was very nice and answered all my questions. Test results came back in ~24 hours. Pricing was competitive, completed work ahead of schedule and were able to get me booked in about a week. The quality of the work was extremely good, Danny is extremely professional, and I HIGHLY recommend anyone in NJ who is looking for this type of service. Thank you again!

Danny was great!…read more For our inspection/estimate, he arrived on time, advised us on how to get multiple pieces of insulation from the attic tested. He actually told us how to get it done from someone else, as it would be cheaper than him doing it. But since we were on a time crunch, we opted to go with him and the Lab he works with. Very cool that he doesn't try to get more money from you and gives you options. When we scheduled the work to be done, he was very busy and didn't reply to the emails we had sent, but we finally reached him by phone. We confirmed the date in advance, filled out the contract paperwork, but the day before he was supposed to start, at 5PM, he said there was a scheduling mix up and he wouldn't be able to come in. I wonder since we were talking with him directly if he was the one who simply forgot to put us in the schedule. It messed up our plans a bit, as we had scheduled other contractors that same week so everything would be coordinated. We had to reschedule for the following week and prolong our stay in NJ ( we are originally from NY). Regardless, his crew was on time for the work at 8AM. Danny called us at 7 AM to let us know they were en route. They were very thorough. After the removal they took 1-2 samples to test the air and make sure that nothing went airborne. They sent it to the lab to be tested right away and there was a bit of a wait, for around 3 or so hours to get the results. Once we were all clear, it was all good. Would recommend!

I called on Monday morning 6/29 and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday morning on 7/1 for…read moresomeone to look at my backyard. I was told on Monday that someone would call me 30 minutes before my 9AM appointment on Wednesday. Fast forward to Wednesday at 9:40AM - No one ever showed and when I called I wasn't given any sort of explanation or apology by the receptionist. Just a simple "can we schedule for another time". When I further probed, is when she finally offered some version of an apology and told me she didn't see me on schedule. Why would I want to purchase a high ticket service from a company who can't follow through on simple appointments or offer any sort of decent customer service? Highly disappointed especially given the good reviews and the fact that I stayed home from work for this!!!!

They worked hard to put a new roof on my house and barn - it came out looking great and we haven't had any issues. When we had questions we called and we got answers in a timely manner. At one time Peter even came out to our house to look for himself and reassure us over a question we had months after the job was complete. We would definitely recommend.

In the past two months we have hired Juan and his team to do two projects for us…read more The first was to place our pipe leading outside from the basement's sump pump underground so it wasn't leaking into our driveway. The team came out and handled this within one day. It was done well and so far - no issues! The second thing we asked of them was to install a fence. Not only did they give us a fair price in relation to other estimates we received but he worked with us in choosing a fence that would be cost effective and helped us make decisions on the look of it. His team finished this in a week and came every day early morning to begin working in sweltering heat. The final product looks beautiful and I can only believe it will last for years to come. It was no small feat as there were several trees and tree stumps in the way of the fence install but the final product is BEAUTIFUL. From start to finish Juan was responsive to my questions and always available to answer anything or address my concerns. The estimate that he gave me at the beginning was the exact price we paid at the end. There were NO hidden fees. I highly recommend John Bros and Juan for all of your landscaping/construction needs. I can't imagine a better experience. Juan was a pleasure to work with!

Amazing work & really professional people!!!! Juan (aka John) is really easy to work with. He gave…read moreus a fair price & stuck to his timeline. After working with another landscaper last year, Greenland Construction, we noticed that our patio was poorly constructed, the columns with lights in them started tilting & the pavers were sloping down! It was dangerous & looked so sloppy. This is merely 7 months after the patio was built. Also, it was a pain to work with Greenland because they kept missing deadlines & miscommuncating what was happening on our property. So frustrating! Anyway we reached out to Juan/John Bro's and he saved the day. He had his crew remove the pavers & columns & redo all parts that were sloping. He set the pavers properly like they should've been in the first place. He also added a railing for safety around the patio along with a gate & stair rails. We loved how his crew made sure to respect our property, never leaving trash around, they cleaned up after themselves every day. John Bro's will get future business from us for sure, we are planning on doing our walkway by the other entrance of our house in October. Highly recommend!
