My husband and I were looking for a carpenter to create some custom pieces to accent our outdoor…read morespace. We contacted a few different carpenters, including Chris, and asked them to come to our property and meet with us before submitting a proposal. Chris stood apart from the competition from the second he stepped through our door by bringing samples of different types of woods for us to consider. He also submitted a complete and thorough quote very quickly after meeting with us, and we agreed that he was the right person for the job. He came to our house for a second meeting before beginning the woodwork and spent a considerable amount of time walking through artistic details with us. From the time we gave him a deposit for the project to the complete installation, only a couple of weeks had passed. The speed with which the project was complete obviously provided a great sense of satisfaction but the workmanship on our pieces is unparalleled. When all was said and done, we ended up with multiple tiered planters and a pergola in our backyard, and a custom bench with built in planters and accent shelving on our roof deck. The final aesthetic of each piece FAR exceeded our expectations and has only managed to make us anxious to work with Chris again. Everyone who has been to our home since the installation has "oohed and ahhed" over the finished product and that includes people who helped build our house. To admire the carpentry that Chris created is one thing, but his professionalism and integrity really sets him apart from the competition. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality, customized carpentry and in fact, I would recommend people consider his services rather than purchasing cookie cutter pieces from local stores. Now that we know Chris' artistry and skill, I can think of many other projects we will work with him on from gifts to furniture needs and house upgrades.

Chris recently installed a set of stairs off of my kitchen that lead down to a new patio. I was…read moreoriginally going to use a different carpenter, but I had trouble getting him to work with my landscaper who was building the patio (upon which the stairs would rest). Thank heavens my landscaper recommended Chris - I was skeptical, but was impressed that Chris showed up at my house 15 minutes after my landscaper called him. I really only used Chris because I trusted my landscaper. Having said that, my landscaper was right! And thank heavens I listened to him. The stairs are beautiful. Ipe wood stairs with a timbertech railing system. They look better than I even thought they would. And I had high expectations! The cuts were really well done - everything aligns perfectly and they feel very, very solid when I walk on them. Chris is, in his way, an artist. But I suppose all good carpenters are. I will use Chris for any other carpentry needs that I might have.

They were able to improve with my existing gutters -- making them more efficient than ever. These people are FAST: I requested a quote on Sunday night, received a phone call from the owner on Monday, they did their evaluation on Tuesday (with live texted updates/pictures/quotes), and the work was completed Thursday and Friday. Talk about a quick turnaround time! The VALUE of the work is incomparable to other places. The work performed went above and beyond what I thought a gutter company would do (beyond the gutter guard install, they did chimney repainting, facia recreation, weather proofing, and tree trimming). They were very CONVENIENT: They stuck to the quote, and had us Venmo a 10% down payment. The Venmo and texting options made this process seamless and easy. We could complete almost all communications virtually, so I never had to be home at a time, or write any checks. If you want work done quickly, efficiently, transparently, and at a great value, choose this company

Stop right here. Look nowhere else. I have done the legwork for you!…read more In 2018 we had Steve and at least 5 other contractors come out to give us a quote on our kitchen remodel. After meeting Steve, there was an authenticity about him that none of the other contractors possessed. Every question that we asked him, he was up front, honest and listened intently to our wants and needs. After receiving many quotes, unfortunately then, we knew we had to save up before we could afford to have our kitchen done. Fast forward to the end of 2019 and we were ready to take the plunge! We knew that Steve was our guy. We gave him a call, he came back out several times to take measurements, design, etc. We had a start date of March 2020. Surprise... COVID! Everything was in limbo and we decided it was best to wait. Finally come August 3rd, 2020 Steve and his helper started demo work. Our final completion date was mid October. During construction time, I had two other friends getting their kitchens done as well. The horror stories they told me of their contractors being late, not being honest, charging more than what the contract stated, etc. had my husband and I feel like we hit the jackpot finding Steve. Many contractors now a days sub everything out and don't lift a finger. Not this guy! He is there every day, doing the work, and is passionate about his craft. He is meticulous and will not cut corners, leaving you a project that you are proud of. Steve is arguably the hardest working human my husband and I have ever met. When you hire Steve, you don't just get a contractor, you get a friend...that turns into family. My husband, my two children and I fell in love with Steve. He brought us joy daily during the two months he was with us and has become part of our extended family. We miss seeing him frequently, but now get to enjoy the work he did on our home daily. All of our friends and family that have walked into our home think we hired a high end contractor and designer for our project. We hired an expert handyman - the name says it all. Expert work at a fair price. Future customers, you can thank me later. ;)

Costello Construction posted a job ad on Craigslist looking for carpenters and crew members. They contacted me to schedule an appointment at their office, which I confirmed with their secretary. I showed up on time for the appointment and waited outside for about two hours -- no one ever came out, called, or answered. Even the owner, who introduced himself as Andrew, never showed up or reached out to apologize or reschedule. This kind of unprofessional behavior and lack of respect for people's time says a lot about how the company operates. I would strongly recommend others to be cautious before applying or working with Costello Construction, as my experience suggests they are not as serious or reliable as they appear.
