On the initial visit, i was given a quote of 2400.00 for the new rubber roof installed and another…read more400.00 for work done in the bathroom. I paid Jeff half up front (1400.00) Jeff stated in the contract: Tear off roof of rear house secondary, not primary Install new plywood where necessary Install new coilstock Install new fiberboard Install new rubber Glue down Tear out rear wall of bathroom Replace with new drywall Finish work included mudding and paint Put new ceiling tiles in damaged areas in bathroom Jeff is the owner of the company, so I figured I was going to get excellent workmanship. On the day he was supposed to start (8-28-12) the roof, he arrived 2 hours late. I was not at home at the time, but my wife was. Jeff started on the roof, then had to leave within 15 minutes , because he had stated to my wife that the supplies had come in and he had to go and get them. He came back 2 hours later to start on the roof (around 1:30). By the time I had gotten home (5:00), Jeff and his employee were almost done, but at that time I did not have the opportunity to check the work. I did ask how he was going to connect the rubber roof to the primary roof. He stated he would lay it up under the shingles and flash. After Jeff had finished , he came down and stated that the costs ran over and he needed more money. I gave him another 1000.00 for him to finish what he had started (big mistake). He was supposed to come back on wednesday to finish the job. He never came. I gave his secretary a call but only got an answering machine. Jeff's secretary called on thursday, apologizing and stating jeff had been sick and promised he would be there on friday. In the interim, I had my neighbor come over . He owns several properties and I value his knowledge with houses. He stated to me that Jeff did not tie down the back end of the rubber roof, it was just flapping in the wind. The side of the house where the roof was rotting had not been replaced and where the roof was hanging off the end, my neighbor showed me that it looked like he never took the original roof off the house, he did not tie the rubber roof to the primary roof correctly and there was no flashing to be found, he layed the excess rubber that hung over the roof into the gutter and did not tie that down correctly. Several areas were cracking open, due to not enough glue, or the incorrect glue. All the bricks i had on the roof to hold the tarp down were thrown to the ground and were broken in my yard. These were 50 pound blocks that were in good condition and could have been used, but are now broken into little pieces, and they were not cleaned up. On Friday, Jeff was supposed to be at the house around 9am. I took the day off so i could show Jeff the problems and discuss with him what he needed to do. Well, again, he never showed. I called the secretary again, and she apologized and assured he would be here on saturday. Saturday came. Jeff never showed. Jeff's secretary called on tuesday, apologizing to me that he was out of town over the weekend and that he would show up on Wednesday at 3:00 to fix what he had not finished. I took another 2 hours off of work to meet with Jeff. Again, he never showed. I sent him an e-mail stating what he had proposed and what he had done in his contract. I only want the job to be finished, but i get alot of empty promises. On another note, It rained really hard this past week (9-20-12). The work that Jeff had done on my roof leaked. Now i have to replace the new ceiling tiles in my upstairs hallway that i had replaced after he worked on my roof. I called Jeff and got his secretary. I was told that they would have someone out on Monday at 10 am. Of course, nobody showed up again. It has now been almost a month since my roof was replaced. I still have a leak.

We started talking about our job to remodel our third floor in July. We heard nothing from them…read moretill September. Then they said it would be until they got permits. They got permits in early December but didn't tell us till we contacted the township. They only talked to us in early January. They didn't start the job until mid March. They cut a hole in our floor droped a piece of wood through that chipped some paint we worked the workers, who dropped another piece through they had to replace our floor. They put no trim in the corners of our floor. Then we had our top floor also refloored. They cut out a vital beam and tried to fix it, leaving a bend in the under wood. They then rushed and didn't repair it fully, when they put flooring down the floor had a 3 inch curve in a twelve foot section. They also had a worker who they said was out for "personal" problems. But he forgot his tools and came to get them, we asked him why he needed them he said for another job. Would not trust them to build a dog house. Do not hire them.

We had a tree fall on our house last summer. There was quite a bit of damage to the back deck porch…read moreand the porch overhang. Initially, I called another construction outfit, and after telling me they could do the job, and after many delays, they later said the job was too small for them. Then I came across Biilt. Biilt, took the job, and I couldn't be happier. During their inspection it was discovered that there was some rotted wood to the original overhang. The house is old, really old, so this didn't come as a surprise. The Biilt crew was able rebuild the entire overhang and at a reasonable price. Construction, roofing, even clean up, they did it all, and their staff were polite and willing to work with me though the project. Cody, Aaron and the rest of the Biilt team did a fantastic job. The deck and overhang look great now and will probably outlast the rest of the house. Solid professional construction. In the future, my first call for quality construction needs, will be to Biilt. And I'm sure they can do the same for you.

We had a master suite added on, including laundry, closet space, and a full bath. First and foremost - they were on budget and on time FOR EVERYTHING. I had heard so many horror stories from friends who had contract work done, and I was shocked at how smoothly everything went and how responsive everyone at BiiLT was. There of course were issues. There always are - but Brent was always there to walk us through what was going on and ensure things didn't get off pace. Were I to do any work like this again - I would call them first without looking anywhere else. We even had issues with a neighbor who was just a pain during the process. Brent intervened and just handled everything. And the addition? My only regret is not doing it sooner. It is beautiful. I love my new master suite. I have never had the opportunity to live in new construction, and 4 months into living in this room, I still love it!

Our Kitchen Project: (Just Completed)…read more My wife and I had been wanting to have our kitchen remodeled for several months. When it finally came time to do it, we started going through the process of trying to find the right contractor for the project. We spent several weeks researching until we came across Yorklyn Construction. Once we met Ben, we felt like the search was over. The advice, detailed thought he put into our plans brought a sense of comfort to us. The quotes were fair and where we hoped they would be. Starting with Ben, our experience fanned out to the rest of folks working for Yorklyn. Tom, who managed our project, was absolutely in touch with our thoughts as the project transitioned from demo to the "rebuild". He did a better job of "detail nitpicking" than I could have. From the beginning they stated it clearly, "we want it done right for you." They certainly lived up to that and exceeded it. The carpentry work with the cabinets they constructed all the way down to the floor thresholds / transitions were perfect, and I mean perfect. I'm sure a lot of contractors hold similar standards, but where Yorklyn pulls ahead is with how they treat your property, residence and your family. You become a bit more than a customer. If you are looking at having some work done, I hope you give these folks a look. I'm sure you will end up where my wife and I are. (Incredibly happy customers!)

To Whom This May Concern:…read more Typically, we are not people that post reviews. Oh, if we really don't like something we have been known to speak up directly to the company. We have to have very strong feelings to post in a public forum. After all, saying something about a person's lively hood should not be taken lightly. Often people are quick to criticize and slow to praise. We would like to change that. We have a house that was in need of updates and repairs. We also where in desperate need of storage. We invited several companies to come by and tell us what they thought and to give us a bid. Two companies that came by and told us the project was too big for them and no bid the project. Finally, it came down to two companies from the area, Yorklyn Construction being one. Yorklyn shot straight with us. They told us the truth, not what they thought we wanted to hear. The bids came in pretty close but Yorklyn impressed us with their candor and professionalism which gave us confidence that once they agreed to something they would meet their commitments. We were told that the process would be long (several months) and that we would basically be living in a construction site. Like I stated, they shot straight with us and it was a big project. Side note, they did everything they could to minimize any discomfort and were respectful that this was our home. We did have hiccup's but Yorklyn's staff and the sub-contractors where great. In a project this size there are hundreds of small decisions, but I can honestly say that everyone involved looked out for our best interests. If they thought we were making a wrong choice, they spoke up. For example, we chose the color of grout for the shower in a showroom. The tile guy put in the tile but thought we made a mistake with the color of the grout. He didn't just go and let us make a mistake. Instead he spoke up and brought it to our attention. He and the project manager discussed it with us and made suggestions that we elected to follow and are happier for that decision. We had a similar experience with their painter. Trust me things look different in a sample catalog or a showroom than in your house. I also wanted to say that their carpenters are great and their cabinet guy is amazing, very skilled and exact, a true craftsman. Our cabinets are just wonderful. We can also tell you that on the rare occasion that we did express displeasure, they made it right and when a problem was our fault, they were fair. Several of the Yorklyn staff and sub-contractors feel like friends. We have very warm feelings for these people. We have grown to trust them. Not only would we recommend them, we will call upon them in the future when we need skilled professional trades people. Often in business "quality "is defined as meeting or exceeding a customer's expectations, in our book, Yorklyn's work and the people that make up this company are the definition of quality.
