DISASTER. Turn and run. We hired Joe for a large 203K project. We had problems from the very…read morebeginning: he was slow to start, kept changing his mind about the game plan, complained about the fact that he could get no money up front--terms of the 203K that he had of course agreed to--and pressured us to give him significant up-front money to "help him start". He instructed me in June of 2024 to rush to buy materials for a small bathroom that was still mostly unfinished in April of 2025; that kind of thing happened multiple times. His workers were inadequately supervised, and he was difficult to reach, often saying things like I'm at a kid's soccer game, out to dinner with my daughter, etc. The way that 203K's work is that HUD inspectors come out at regular intervals to make sure that adequate work has been done to make a draw from the total budget. Joe did a bunch of stuff merely to look busy to justify the first draw, in August: a slap-dash exterior paint job over crumbling paint that made a mess and did not hold, for instance. Between the first and the second draw, there was slow but meaningful progress--but by then we were 5 months into a job that we were told would take 4-6 months, and nowhere near done. During much of that 3-month interval he had just one guy working on our huge project, an electrician. After the second draw, in late November, he basically just stopped working on the house. We were making double housing payments the whole time, of course, so we panicked. We were almost out of money. After numerous calls and messages failed to get him to pick up the pace, at the urging of our lender, we scheduled a third draw, 3 months after the second one. At that draw, the HUD inspector certified that no work had been done, so no funds would be paid out. That's when we finally worked up the nerve to fire him. It was terrifying, because our lender told us that we would have trouble getting anyone to take on such a large project with only what was left in the budget after Joe depleted it. By the grace of God, we did find one. He swept in and got the job done in about 4 months. We finally moved in almost exactly one year after closing. Of course we had two mortgage payments the whole time. The work could have been finished within 6 months, or close to it, if we had found a great contractor like the one we found after we fired Mr. Depiano. Working with Mr. Depiano was harrowing. We were newbs at this, and therefore easy to fool. DON'T MAKE OUR MISTAKE.

Having met with many different contractors to discuss and bid our master bathroom remodel, we were…read morestarting to get frustrated with the process as we felt that all of the quotes we were receiving were significantly overbid. None of the contractors were providing a breakdown of their costs and their materials so we could see exactly what we were paying for, and we felt that they were just throwing large numbers at us because "that's what it costs to remodel a bathroom." I was lucky to hear about Beltz Pro Remodeling through a referral from a tiling contractor that had previously done work for us at our previous home. After reaching out to Jim and meeting with him to discuss the project, I could tell right away that he was very knowledgeable about construction and renovation work and had a lot of experience. Not only was he straightforward and professional from the start, but he's also a genuinely nice person and I found it very easy to work with him throughout the entire project. He was very timely in getting the project estimate to me, and I was very impressed how he had the estimate broken out into labor and material costs for every phase of the project. Most importantly, he was the only contractor that said the words "I want this job" when following up on his estimate, which was extremely important because that told me that Jim was the kind of contractor that treated every job and customer equally, regardless of the scope of work or cost of the project. There were also no hidden costs, and any change orders were discussed up front and agreed upon before proceeding. Living through a renovation can be very stressful and inconvenient (especially when both my wife and I work from home), but Jim and his crew were extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional during the remodel process. They were the nicest guys and we talked with them every day, and they made sure to inform us of any issues or asked for our approval on every detail before proceeding. After each phase was completed, Jim made sure that we were happy with the results before moving on to the next phase. If there was something that we were not happy with, Jim made sure that it was corrected and done to not just our expectation, but to his company's expectation. Once the master bathroom was completed, my wife and I could not have been happier with the finished product!! Not only does it look amazing and like a bathroom out of a magazine, but it was done right and at a fair price that fit within our budget. I would highly recommend using Beltz Pro Remodeling if you're looking for a contractor that is honest, professional, offers fair and transparent pricing, and provides excellent quality and craftsmanship. We will definitely be contacting Beltz Pro for our next project!

Andrew and Steve are master craftsman with a keen eye to minute details. I contacted them to…read moreconstruct an interior PA blue stone pad for my new wood stove and also to install stone veneer on two of the walls. Andrew and Steve are not just stone masons and have excellent skills in both interior and exterior construction that comes in handy when the unforeseen glitch pops up. For example they were able to reinforce the floor to support the very heavy weight of the pad and stove. While working in the basement on the floor reinforcement, Andrew noticed that there was a bump in the basement concrete floor that I lamented had been tripping me every time I did the laundry. Without hesitation, he went to his truck for some tools and remedied that rather large bump at no additional charge. Steve is an artisan, and created a real show piece backdrop to the Vermont castings red stove. The pattern and color variation he put forth is truly amazing and far exceeded my expectations. There was one stone that I felt was a little off in color, and they had no pushback, and were completely open to replacing it albeit while the stone had not fully set, but it was obvious their goal was 100% customer satisfaction. The cuts for outlets, windows, and ceilings were flawless and the mortar joints between stones was applied perfectly. I learned that Andrew is a 2nd generation mason, and he and Steve had been training under his dad since they were kids. I had to travel out of town, and had no worries leaving them the keys to finish the job. They are great communicators and completely trust-worthy. When icy cold rain was forecast Andrew called the night before to alert me of the threatening weather and left it that he would revisit the workday in the morning. He called bright and early to "ASK" if we could postpone a day as he would be cutting the stone and mixing mortar outside. I of course agreed. They also coordinated with the stove installers to help wrangle the very heavy stove pad onto the frame they had built. Andrew and Steve are team players and also a great team, with complimentary skills and eyes that truly ensures a beautiful job. They cleaned up every day and left the job, spotless with no debris. They have my highest recommendation and can handle any masonry job at hand. 6 Stars out of 5!!!!!
