I would have understood if they had asked permission and explained why it was necessary (I was home at the time so it would have been easy), or if they had done a conscientious job of it so it could easily be put back. Instead they tore it off leaving jagged pieces of wood and didn't mention it. So disrespectful and uncaring. Screw these people. Rude over the phone, too.

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.

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

I would not hesitate to use them again with complete confidence.

Dear Y'all, Today I am happy, but a little bit sad too…read more Today David and Dave Lauricella...AKA the Dynamic Duo...are putting the finishing touches to my house renovations. The sad bit is I won't be seeing them every day. They've just finished doing major repairs on my front porch, siding and ceilings. Until they started the repairs (caused by termite and water damage I didn't know I had), my porch had been held up by the hand of God. Then He handed it over to the Dynamic Duo to fix. It was almost a shame to put the siding back on over the studs and insulation because Lauricella and Son are seasoned craftsmen of the highest order. Oh, and my beautiful put-back-together-again, re-beautified front door! I could digress and go on about how delightful David and Dave are, or how they go out of their way to do what you want done, or how I gave them a key to my now beautiful front door when I was out of town, or how I never had to sweep up after them. Honest. Suffice it to say, I am thrilled to bits with their work and work ethic. Cheers, Kathleen Langan

We could not recommend Kevin Knott with Crystal Pools and Spas more highly! From start to finish,…read moreKevin & his team were a pleasure to work with. Crystal Pools is a locally owned, family-run business that delivers attention to detail, professionalism, & customer care. Kevin worked closely with us to design a stunning saltwater gunite pool & spa that maximized our space. The thoughtful design includes a raised stack-stone wall with waterfalls, a tanning ledge with a bubbler fountain, LED lights, and a convenient app-controlled computer system to manage everything, including lights & temperature. Construction was timely, and the finished product exceeded our expectations. Throughout the process, Kevin's communication was top-notch. He kept us informed at every step, answered all of our questions, & made the experience smooth & stress-free. His hands-on involvement, keen eye for detail, & genuine investment in our vision were evident in every aspect of the project. The result is a breathtaking backyard oasis that we couldn't be happier with! Kevin took the time to show us step-by-step pool maintenance and recommended a reputable pool maintenance company for ongoing care. If you're looking to build or renovate a pool, Crystal Pools and Spas is the way to go. Their expertise, professionalism, & commitment to customer satisfaction are truly unmatched. Thank you, Kevin, for making our dream pool a reality!

He was never pushy. He took plenty of time to describe the process and options for our budget even though the project was so far in the future. When it came time to install, he made everything so easy and enjoyable. Kevin is one of the most responsive contractors we have ever worked with and always answered our texts and calls within minutes, if not seconds. Having his dad, Jeff, on the job installing plumbing was also a great testament to the quality of work they put forth as a family run business. The pool came out absolutely beautiful, and Kevin still takes the time to respond to our questions about operating the equipment long after the install finished. It feels like he became a part of our family. We love our pool and would build again with Kevin and Crystal Pools ten times out of ten. The only problem is that we can't get our friends and family to leave our backyard!
