I had the interior of my condo re-done by Sunwood Development in late 2009. Greg was the only one…read moreof seven contractors that even returned my call. When he came to give me an estimate, he told me that Sunwood generally doesn't take on "smaller" jobs such as mine, but they'd take it on. He also said I might have sticker shock from the scope of work I wanted done. I wanted all new kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, bathroom vanities & toilets, kitchen appliances, a new shower stall with glass doors, porcelain tile in the kitchen & entryway, ceramic tile in both bathrooms, and old school oak floors throughout the rest of the 1100 Sq. Ft. of my home. I was NOT shocked by the price quoted. It was within reason. Upon signing the contract and initial payment in their offices, Greg blocked out on a calendar what phases would be completed on what dates, and was given a firm date of completion of the overall project. I made my selections for cabinets, countertops, bathroom fixtures, tiles and appliances and paint selections at the appropriate times. I paid extra for some change orders I wanted as the work progressed. All the work was completed exactly on the dates blocked out by Greg, and the overall project was completed a few days early. Upon completion of the final walk through, I was handed a check for over $700.00, because they completed the work under budget. I moved back into an essentially brand new home. It's been nearly nine years, and the workmanship and materials have held up extremely well. Obviously, I strongly recommend Sunwood Development for your construction needs.

All the rainwater floods my back yard and I cannot walk without long boots. I have attempted numerous times via email and photos to fix the problem. Sunwood has either ignored or delayed their response to me. It's almost a year since I moved in my home, but the problem has not been fixed. They claim they have 2-year warranty, but the time goes by with no repair. When the weather gets warmer, we will have more rain causing more muddy water and lots of bugs around my house. It will put my property and health at risk.

As a first time home owner with a fixer-upper getting professional help is intimidating, both for…read morethe cost and worry that the job will be done right and on time. My first project with Mr. Ralph was to finish up a DIY project I started and did not have the skills or time to finish. The work was extremely affordable, quick, and done well. I have an old house with many poorly done home renovations by the previous owners, he has dealt with them professionally and patiently. I have since used him for 4 other projects, most recently an extensive bathroom renovation. I am eager to learn skills that will help me do projects better myself and he has been a great teacher, not only in prioritizing projects based on what is important, but also in the materials and techniques. Projects do tend to go a little past the quoted time frame but it is because he cares about the details and doesn't hurry over the unexpected issues that pop up with old homes. He treats us like family and will probably end up re-doing every room here. If you want a rush job without quality or are overbearing I would pass on hiring him. We couldn't be happier with his work and professionalism!

Please do your research. Mr. Ralph Home Improvement is NOT a licensed home improvement/kitchen…read morerenovation contractor. Although, I asked on our initial conversation and he confirmed that he was licensed. After seeing the pictures of a new kitchen and reading the excellent reviews posted on yelp I contacted Mr. Ralph. He first gave me a labor cost of to renovate my kitchen for $3,000. After a few days he text me dropping his price to $2,700. He said he understood my situation & was willing to help me out. Few days later he went to my home, measured, sent me a shopping list of the items I needed. I ordered them through Lowes. Had them delivered bc his truck didn't have room/space for all the materials. While waiting on the new cabinets he demoed the old kitchen cabinets, painted the ceiling, walls and trim. This is where things began to go south: After noticing the old wall were the original cabinets were not painted, I asked him why not paint the old walls? He was resistant bc the new cabinets where going to be installed and no one would see it. He later gave in & began painting the old yellow walls. He charged $500 for the paint job + I purchased the paint. The quality I was promised was NOT what I or my real estate agent was seeing. The purpose of this project was to renovate my old kitchen so I can list the house for sale. After telling Mr. Ralph I was not happy on how large the gap between the refrigerator and top cabinet is I asked if perhaps the cabinet can be switched to a bigger/more functional size. At first he told me the gap can be covered if I placed something on top of refrigerator. I said ok. I thought perhaps a sign or basket would do the work. A few days later my realtor goes in, sees the cabinets and was also not pleased. She's sold properties for many yrs and is able to tell something is wrong right away. She called me up- bc I'm out of state- sent me more pics and strongly encouraged me to get the right cabinets for this area. After reaching out to Mr. Ralph he became belligerent, said I was micromanaging him and should trust the process. Mr. Ralph then texted me to let me know he was packing up & leaving. He demanded the rest of the $ owed which I had paid 1/2 of what he was charging me up front. Told me the job he was doing cost a lot more than $2,700 yet that was the cost he gave me. He told me if I did not paying him the rest of the $ owed he would not return. I asked him: would you pay for a job you are not happy with? A job that hasn't been completed? No, I didn't pay him & thankfully did not return. I failed to do my research for project. As a first time home owner who moved out of state & needs to sell the home. I trusted someone who told me on many occasions he was professional, experienced and meticulous at his craft. For this I'm paying the price. Please do not make the same mistake. Do not take a contractor's word no matter how nice they seem. No matter how many times they tell you they understand and want to help you. Ask to see proof- which I was never provided. All I received was an invoice for the renovation of kitchen cabinets and painting of my kitchen. I'm glad I listened to my realtor. In less than 24 hours of Mr. Ralph walking out of this project a new certified/experienced/recommended contractor stepped in. He wasn't shocked of the quality/service I received. Unfortunately, he's had to step in to fix jobs like the one I was left with. The new contractor confirmed: All the cabinets and counter top that were initially ordered were measured incorrectly & ALL the materials which were order needed to be returned w/ the exception of the ones already installed- bc those can't be refunded since they've been drilled in. I've lost $ & a lot of time. My home was suppose to be listed already. I lost $1,600: $1,350 ($2,700) was given as a deposit + $250 ($500) for kitchen paint job. I now have to pay extra to get the job done correctly- so basically I got what I paid for . Lesson learned. Do YOUR RESEARCH. No proof of licenses, no contract, no drawings, etc no business/$.

Framing also included adding eaves and gables to my whole roof line and a new front porch roof. They also replaced my siding and completely enclosed my front entry with faux stone siding. My latest project was to gut and rebuild my kitchen and dining room. This project included raising two 12 foot load bearing beams, replacing my home sewer system, replaced and added new water lines, built a new laundry closet, and installed new ventilation systems for the kitchen and laundry To top the project off they installed a new gazebo roof.

INITIAL DISCUSSIONS (FEB 22, 2024) We asked Keith if…read moreremoving the flooring would speed up the project but eventually kept tile. HandyWorks would demo and install the new tile. We also discussed painting cabinets, eyeing a mid-March start. PRICING & COMMUNICATION (FEB 26-27) We received only a "line item overview," no per-task costs. Repeated requests for a true breakdown were never fulfilled. Sue, the project manager, offered no real help with fixture selection (e.g., she told us to "use the filters" on a website we'd already tried). TIMELINE DISCONNECT (FEB 28) Keith disclosed late that the countertop needed a 10-business-day lead time and that subsequent tasks would push the project to around three weeks--far beyond our hoped-for one-week timeframe. CONTRACT & SCOPE OMISSIONS (MAR 12-21) After I canceled a meeting, Keith declined to email the contract, insisting on another in-person appointment. We finally reviewed it on March 15 but discovered the trashcan insert was omitted. Keith apologized yet still never provided a detailed cost breakdown. TILE PROBLEMS (SPRING 2024-MAY 2025) Several tiles were laid out improperly, and two had extra-wide grout lines. Keith's crew returned weeks later, but he sent a finish carpenter, not a tiler, leaving flaws. They redid those tiles again in May 2025 without Keith supervising. The tiler also used floor leveler to raise part of our century-old floor several inches--without our consent--then tried to charge extra and later failed to remove it from the invoice promptly. COUNTERTOP & BACKSPLASH ISSUES (FEB-MAY 2025) Small items rolled off the countertop's edge. By April, the section over the dishwasher sagged, leaving a gap. Keith finally added a bracket in May, admitting it should have been done initially. For the backsplash, his crew broke the grey-white marble pattern without asking, substituting grey for white near the edge. Keith insisted the white pieces were "too small" to cut, which felt untrue, and he never consulted us. OTHER UNPROFESSIONAL INCIDENTS Keith brought up politics (specifically, Trump) during contract signing, which felt inappropriate. One day, his workers cut quartz with our windows open, blanketing our downstairs in dust, for which he offered $200. A worker also smoked in our backyard after we explicitly said no. FINAL INVOICE & REFUND DISPUTE (SEPT 2024-MAR 2025) Keith apologized for including the unapproved floor-leveler charge on our final bill. We requested about a 10% refund due to recurring problems and incomplete fixes. He verbally agreed in March 2025 but later avoided the subject. We still haven't received any compensation. BBB complaint pending.

As the president of a condo association, I wanted to get roofs replaced on two buildings with a…read moretotal of 9 apartments. I obtained quotes from four different contractors, and Albana was the clear winner. Albana was in business longer than most of the others, did not subcontract the work, was rated the best with the Better Business Bureau (A+), was rated the best on HomeAdvisor and Yelp (5 stars on each). In addition, they did not use felt as a layer (an obsolete process), and they took physical rather than satellite measurements. Sonny, who attended our Board Meeting, answered questions, provided samples, and gave financing options. He is an exemplary professional. Sonny's highest priority is making everyone happy. Work was timed according to everyone's schedules. The grounds were also kept safe and orderly. When the project was finished, it was done in a timely fashion, conformed to code, and looked wonderful. A few months after the work was done, a freak wind gust exceeded the 130mph rating on the shingles. Albana was back on the job and repaired the damage. Based on all of the above, Albana was a dream to work with. I cannot recommend them highly enough. When we eventually get to do siding on our buildings, they will be at the top of our list to get that job done also.

I have no doubt that these guys do good work, but getting them to respond and show up was basically…read moreimpossible. We initially began getting quotes for a new roof back in July and it took Al nearly a month to give me an initial quote. I should have moved on to the next contractor back then! Our roof was badly leaking so we were seeking out an emergency loan through the state to get it done ASAP. After going back and forth with Albana Roofing and our financing provider basically all summer, things were finally approved in the last week of August, and we signed a contract with Albana Roofing stating that work would begin by 9/20 and commence by 9/24, weather permitting. All of September was beautiful, so that wasn't the reason why the work didn't get done. I found myself in the beginning of October, still waiting on these roofers! I'm assuming they had bigger jobs that took priority because they were making more money. We had to pull our financing (though we have other means to pay for the job), and Al called me wanting to know what was going on. He informed me that I put them in a bad place because they "already ordered materials" which is something that he had been telling me, and my husband, since before we even signed a contract with them! I told him that I was going to talk to our financing provider and that if it came down to it, I could probably just give him a credit card number. He told me that he would talk to his brother and get back to me later than night via e-mail. I never heard back. Since then, I sent Al two e-mail just wanting to know what was going on. The cherry on top is that when I went to follow up with Al one final time via e-mail this morning, it bounced back! He blocked my e-mail address!!! What kind of terrible business owner does that?! I was very nice, understanding and patient throughout the entire process. Thank god we didn't give them any money. It is my understanding that this company was started by their father, and I can only hope that he would be dismayed by this.
