We found Dom via Yelp and hired him for a full rowhome renovation. Dom is everything you need in a contractor: knowledgeable, punctual, patient, transparent, and a true craftsman. He has been an incredible partner as we transformed our home from top to bottom despite some big challenges (i.e. the pandemic). He listened and followed through on all of our requests, he offered great guidance along the way (but never pushed) and he communicated every step of the way so there were no big surprises. And that's just part of what he brings to the table when you evaluate his craftsmanship. He is a true perfectionist with every single detail. We are just enamored with the transformation of our home and could not be happier. Dom has our highest recommendation! read more

I used Casile Novelli to help repair water damage and investigate mold in my master bedroom closet in South Philly. After calling a few other contractors, Casile Novelli was the most responsive and helpful. I dealt with Dominic - who gave me a fair estimate and did a really nice job on the repair. He was really good and about communicating the times he would show up for both the estimate and the repair. He always showed up in a mask. The repair required taking apart the shelving in the closet and putting them back in place, painting, and using a repair compound for the walls. They did a really nice job and I'm really happy with it. If I had any issues in the house in the future, I'd definitely reach out to them again. read more

Hired this company to do my kitchen renovation. Lucky for me, they bailed in the middle of the job. From the start the process in which construction was taking place made no sense. It seemed like Dominic knew what he was talking about until the job was under way. Originally Dominic told me this job would take 7-10 business days (yeah right - as I write this it had been 3 weeks without a kitchen and now I have half a kitchen!) Let's start from the beginning. The kitchen was gutted, floor tile was laid, drywall installed. The drywall was not taped or spackled and the cabinets were hung (the least of my worries). The brand new floor tile was chipped when they brought the refrigerator back into the unfinished kitchen. Closing up a window was in the scope of work and the existing window was dry walled over.. with the blinds still on it! Dominic kept stating that this work would be done on the outside of the window (okay) but the mason he hired must of kept blowing him off (probably because he knew how much work that actually entailed) and day after day no one was showing up. There were several holes that I'm assuming were "accidentally" measured in the cabinet below my sink. The copper water lines are rubbing up against the holes they are coming out of. The wire for the pendant light hangs sadly above my sink with no box to actually hang the light from (so I'll have to open up the ceiling myself to see what lies underneath). A new window was ordered and not installed. My back door was never ordered or installed. My oven was never hooked up. The water line to my refrigerator never hooked up. Dishwasher and garbage disposal never picked up and installed. When I asked for updates and days went by and there was no one in the house doing work, I asked Dominic to explain. He blamed the countertop not being installed yet on ALL these other things not being done (sure, some things have to wait for that.. but days would go by and no progress). Needless to say, I had enough and frustrated, asked for another update. Here was his out. He then took the opportunity to tell me how busy he was. How he isn't available to give me updates of my job because of how busy he is. How he doesn't like to be told how to do his job.. and lastly, my favorite .. how he isn't "comfortable" coming back to finish the job. I doubt this company needs my negative Yelp review.. because if he continues doing business like this.. his career in the GC business will be short lived. Dominic doesn't know what he's doing outside of being a carpenter. He can not find reliable, good sub's to finish jobs. read more

Domenic recently added a home office to our home and he blew me away with his craftsmanship. We have a very modern home and I was kind of nervous about adding anything in fear that it would look like an "add-on". My office actually looks like it should have been built this way from the start. It's so clean and modern and way beyond what I ever expected. We now have a new contractor for any and all of our home renovations. Photos coming soon. read more

Domenic and his team renovated our kitchen, half bath, and basement. My husband and I are very indecisive and couldn't picture what the transformed space would look and feel like. There were a lot of options that were difficult to fully visualize. Domenic was extremely helpful in guiding us through the initial planning for the project and gave us his help with choices every step of the way. He was very patient and a great communicator. After we finally made those big design decisions, things got underway. During the construction Domenic and his crew were prompt, clean and easy to work with. As the project went on Dom continued to provide feedback and help us through some of the decisions yet to be made. I thought my house was going to be a disaster with the amount of work being done but Domenic is so clean and tidy he treated my house as he would his own! Last but not least through the entire process Domenic was very quick to respond to texts and return calls. I can't believe how amazing his work is, nothing short of exceptional, he is easy to work with and his prices are great. We LOVE our new kitchen and basement and recommend Domenic to everyone and look forward to working with him again! Thank you! read more

Domenic recently renovated my kitchen and I am so happy to have finally found a reliable contractor. The work is done beautifully and Domenic made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Usually when hiring a contractor I am lost and feel like I am being robbed but Domenic communicated everything so professionally. I am not one who is able to design even a small space and he even helped me with that and I loved his choices. Prices were great, he is attentive to detail and I can't wait to have him renovate my bathroom next. read more

Loved everything about them. I had a dream for my bathroom and they made it a reality! Who puts stone in their bathroom?? It is gorgeous! Clean , courteous , diligent and patient (my wild ideas) Dominic is an angel as he listened and did everything with his team. Hands of gold! read more

I've known Dom for many years. He's authentic, consistent and his work is quality. We really appreciate how communicative Dom was during a number of small house projects he's completed for us. During his most recent job, he went above and beyond by coordinating a roofer to come and fix several leaks to prevent further leaking before he drywalled our ceiling. All communication went through Dom from beginning to end. read more

Domenic did a fantastic job at repairing our drywall. Even though the job was small, he was responsive, professional, and paid attention to the details. He came out quickly to provide an estimate and was on-site 2 days later. He really went above and beyond what the job called for and offered to come back for any touch ups. I trust his work and will definitely be using his services again. read more

Dom gave our dated kitchen a much needed facelift, as well as new windows, crown molding, and a new bedroom makeover along with new closets (shelves and doors included). He is a true professional, communication was constant, and he was flexible when we added some extra work along the way. He also had an attention to detail that you look for in a general contractor, and ensured that after his work was cleaned before he finished each day. Will definitely have him involved in any of our future home improvement projects. read more
