My wife and I bought a very old house in Somersworth about a year ago. i contacted George about a…read morebathroom remodel. He responded right away, gave a good estimate and we had him do the remodel. Work was done in the time he estimated and for the price he quoted. Quality of the work was excellent and he was able to handle all the little (and big) issues that one encounters in an old house. Very satisfied with all his work and hope to get him to do more this year.

My wife and I just moved into a home in Rochester, NH. Although the home was only twenty years old…read moreit was suffering from years of neglect and needed a lot of work. George started working on various interior projects a week after we moved in. He worked a solid two weeks. He started off by doing upgrades and repairs to our three bathrooms. He then replaced ugly carpeting on two sets of stairs and replaced hardwood stairs. This included staining and and putting two coats of polyurethane on the stairs. What was once a major eyesore is now beautiful, to say the least. George is very professional and does solid work. Even better than that his prices are fair. We like him so much that he is coming back in a few weeks to rebuild our deck and put in a patio. I would recommend George for almost every household fixup issue. I am so happy that he was recommended to us!

We had him come to completely gut and renovate our bathroom in August of 2020, and are extremely pleased with the results. The work was done in a timely manner and his pricing is very fair. We enjoyed working with him so much that we asked him to come back to renovate our kitchen this past summer. Our house was built in the 50's, so there were some curveballs thrown our way, but George figured out solutions to every issue, worked with us to stay within and even under budget, and the finished product is more than we could have ever dreamed of. My husband and I both highly recommend George for your next home project.

I would give George a resounding 5 star rating, and I would definitely recommend him. He did a ton…read moreof work at our home (built a new addition, built a new deck, painted the entire exterior, replaced the front entrance, sealed the basement, installed a bulkhead door, built a kitchen bar, etc) and every project exceeded our expectations.

He is also professional and was conscientious about working around our schedules to minimize the disruption of our house while the projects were being completed. J-

Steven did an absolutely great job with renovation of our bathroom. He is honest, reliable and has…read morefantastic work ethic. He listens to all the requests and has great solutions for every problem. When I started the project all I wanted was a clean nice bathroom, but as we proceeded many structural needs were addressed - my dryer didn't work properly for longest time and it was fixed; when the floor tiles were changed, more insulation was put in place to prevent odors and noise coming from apartment below; the exhaust fan was replaced to the one that nearly makes any noise, etc. I'm very happy with Steven's work and will definitely come back!

I had called SG Elite Construction for an estimate on remodeling my bathroom . The owner responded…read morequickly to my call. He scheduled a free estimate . He was prompt on the time he was supposed to come for the estimate. I found him very Personable, Knowledgeable and knew what I wanted.. After speaking with him I was confident that he would do the job that I wanted done for less than I had been quoted before . I had at least 4 other estimates and I am convinced I made the right decision to hire SG Elite Construction . Highly recommended

All started out well with Michael Bragg, as he returned my inital email, and came out for an…read moreestimate quite quickly. I walked him through the job I wanted to have done, which was redoing the exterior trim on our house around our three garage bays and well as some of the front sections on our house in PVC board. I would also have him install a ceiling fan and Nest thermostats. He came, spent a good amount of time at the house and supplied an estimate for the job. He seemed like a decent person and I enjoyed talking with him and as no other contractors had even retuned my calls (I called 4 others in the area). I was very clear with him that I wanted the job done right, and done once (something I repeated to him many times while he was working on the house as well, and he said this was how he worked). I gave him the job.  Upon arriving, I had decided to expand the job to the entire front of the house, as he had told me he had some time between jobs, and I figured it would be best to do it all at once. I asked him for a rough estimate, and as it was reasonable, I moved forward. As he started pulling up the trim, he found some areas of water damage, which delayed the project about day. You can't not fix water damage, so the delay was understandable and by end of the second day, all the damage was repaired.  That's where it all when downhill. After this point, progress was slow and I wanted to see what was going on. He gave me a number of excuses for why pieces were't done yet, and among those was the fact that one of the garage bays was a different size than he was expecting, and he had already cut the material and would need to remeasure and cut again. I was quite astonished by this, but thought I'd wait to see how he billed for his error. After this, I decided to work from home as many days as possible to keep an eye on him and his team. Following that, his team (of 5 people now working hourly at $400 each) had issues with the cold, started packing up at 2:30 and were gone by 3. I was charged for the full day for all workers. I should note here that as I was talking to him before the job, he said he worked from 8 to 5 and was the kind of person to make sure the person to be thorough and clean up after the job every day. Every day, his entire team was packing up before 4, and were gone at 4 on the dot. Michael himself was always there at or before 8 and often stayed after 4 to chat with me, but this was usually as I asked him questions about the job as I had a number of concerns. At the end of the first week, I was watching him team taking apart the siding, with one person particularly struggling with the removal.  He nearly ripped off part of the roof, and damaged some of the rain guides (sorry, I don't know the actual term for what this piece is) in the progress. Another working was replacing siding, but doing so at an angle.  I spoke with Michael and told him I did not want either of these people working on the house anymore. He understand and agreed, and told me they weren't usually on his team. On week two of the job, I told him I needed him to finish up by the end of the week, as I would be leaving town and the job was getting more and more expensive, as he decided he would start working hourly and would need to order much more material than expected (even after buying more material when I expanded the job on day one, and in the end, he didn't have enough material to do the remaining part of the job - I did end out with hundreds worth of leftover material, though the wrong size to finish the primary portions trim I needed him to complete.) Week two was supposed to be his remaining team of 3 (something he confirmed on Monday), plus one person coming back to do a high ceiling fan and thermostats that were itemized on the original estimate. He said he would be able to complete the job by the end of the week.  Throughout the job, I did tell him what needed to be done, and that if he was unable to, to let me know so we could make a gameplan to do the most important parts first, and wait on the rest. Every day I checked in on him and all was on track.  As I mentioned earlier, I constantly reminded him that it needed to be done right, not fast - which needed to be reiterated after seeing a lot of cracked siding, misaligned siding, damaged elements and his team working slow).
