Recommended by a friend of a trusted friend, Jay put us at ease as my husband and I muddled through this process for the first time. I cannot overstate the value of his candor, attention to detail, expertise, patience, professionalism, and kindness. He makes you feel like a real partner in the process despite how little you might know about homebuying. I want all my friends and family to sell their homes so that they can hire Jay to help them in the quest for a new home. While I work on talking them into this, I highly recommend him for your consideration. Also, shout out to his assistant Jesi who helped us immensely with the many post-offer details!

Jay was incredible to work with during our lengthy home search.

In addition to his knowledge of the Pittsburgh area, he is detail oriented, organized, very flexible, super-responsive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Jay for anyone looking to Buy or Sell a home in the area for a guided, no-hassle, no-pressure experience. Thanks Jay!!

With the housing market the way it has been going, my husband and I decided to build a home that we…read moretruly could make every decision on what we wanted it to look like: colors, style, etc. When we researched local builders, we came across Paragon. Initially, we were not familiar with them, but everything we compared with other companies sounded better and what we wanted. We decided to go with them. From our first meeting with Steve, we felt comfortable. We did not have a lot of knowledge about the process at all, but Steve directed us every step of the way and answered all our calls and texts and emails no matter when we reached out. Also Jackie in the office was on top of everything and kept us on schedule with meeting with all our vendors, making sure we didn't miss anything and that we got everything ordered in a timely manner. What we thought was going to be stressful, literally turned out to be such a fun process because Steve and Jackie were so good to us throughout the process and made us feel like a priority even though they had other projects they were working on at the same time. With Paragon, we noticed a lot of their standards in the build would have been upgrades with other companies so we really got quality product for our money. Steve paid attention to a lot of the details and even pointed out some things that needed to be adjusted that my husband and I would have never noticed. We really appreciated how transparent and honest he was with the entire process. We are excited to see the rest of our plan develop and hope to have many years of happiness in our new home!

Regis and his team at Master Remodelers did two extensive projects for us. When I first contacted…read morethem, I was unprepared for their requirement of payment for a project proposal. Their comprehensive in-house design and build approach was unlike that of other contractors, and their cooperative communication was instrumental in developing and meeting our expectations. They made understanding us and our house equal priorities. They educated us about the condition of the house, brought in an engineer, and designed projects around improving and reinforcing the house. They found and corrected issues created by the house's original builder. They work well coordinating their work with other contractors. With one exception, there were no call-backs. A minor installation error discovered years later was cheerfully and promptly fixed as a warranty item, a reflection on their commitment to their clients. When it came time to sell the house, the quality of their work was a strong draw for the buyers. It drew a crowd. They exemplify how a great team can accomplish great results!

They originally reached out to me asking to take it down. When I refused to do so because I believe that my review reflects my family's experience, the messages kept on coming. At first, she said I shouldn't leave a bad review because I have never dealt with a death in my family (not true & not sure how that is relevant). Then she accused me of writing my review to punish the company and for no other reason. My response was: "Let's be VERY clear here. I'm not "punishing your company". I'm leaving a review of our experience on a site that is meant to leave reviews of people's experiences with different companies. If all owners tried to bully patrons into only leaving good reviews on Yelp... well there would no longer be a Yelp. I'm leaving honest feedback on how it felt to deal with your company. I'm sorry that you don't agree with our assessment, but it's truly how it felt. I'm very glad that we parted ways when we did so that we could work with someone that was much more pleasant to deal with." And she responded back with: "And you reaffirmed ours that "you're not our customer." Because our customers have class." I just wanted everyone to know how this company operates behind the scenes...

Aaron Smay and Riva Ridge Reality left me in an unheated house all winter and told me per the lease no space heaters. They knew from the day I moved in there was water damage and staining showing this yet after multiple complaints did nothing. The entire place had moisture readings of 99% moisture in my walls. I got sick and ended up in the ER from mold exposure and they have done nothing to fix the situation or help me. I chose to leave the apartment before the lease because of all these issues alongside with many other maintenance issues including not having a secure entry in the house. I lost all my things to the mold. Still dealing with sickness. Having to move and start all over when I didn't even get a year there. Terrible company and the worst apartment rental experience I have ever ever encountered. I ended up calling the city code enforcement who reassured me I wasn't crazy, these were all HUGE ILLEGAL ISSUES that Aaron was brushing under the rug. I'm sorry to anyone at 5518 BROAD ST

She was immediately responsive to all questions, emphasized that providing service to her customers was her top priority, and was easy to discuss details with via phone and text message throughout the process. Morgan stayed late in the day until every last detail was perfect and complete. She worked from morning until night - I never saw her stop! Her work was meticulous yet highly efficient--I could not believe how much she got done in one day! It was obvious from our conversations that she takes the utmost pride in her work and is dedicated to serving her customers. She values 100% customer satisfaction, is immediately responsive and on time, and is knowledgeable and skilled in her field. When choosing a contractor you can't ask for much more! Thank you Morgan!! We love our freshly painted bedrooms and bathrooms, it feels like a brand new house!

#1 choose another contractor to work with. If you do work with them, keep these tips in mind:…read more Read your contract carefully at all iterations before signing, including scope of work line items and sub details. Do not trust what they say or don't say or that any changes you communicate in writing or otherwise will be accurately updated in their contract document. Require advance notice of any labor or materials you, as the customer, are expected to provide. For instance, moving furniture. Or providing paint. They literally came in asking about paint the morning they wanted to start painting when we had been under contract for months waiting for the job to start. Review contract carefully for warranty of labor and repairs, so you don't have to correct poor workmanship shortly after job completion, like applying more than 3 inches of glue to a 3 foot surface.  Require regular walk-throughs to ensure progress aligns with detailed scope of work. Require written update or record of conversations to ensure work discussed and details specified are completed fully and accurately. Ask questions and keep asking even if their reaction is irritation or disinterest. Finally, DON'T be fooled by their responses to critical customer reviews. In hindsight, I expect they are disingenuous at best if not totally inaccurate or misrepresentative. Some contractors are wonderful to work with, will listen and carefully and execute skillfully, providing quality finished product at good value. This is NOT that contractor. Poor communication, poor execution, overpriced and unpleasant to work with.  My suggestion: choose someone else.

Without my permission, he put all of the dirt he dug up along the side of their house on to my property and has left it there for a MONTH. In doing this he prevented me from being able to go between my front and backyard and kept me from having work done on my own home. When I attempted to call him to speak with him about the situation, he never called back. When I was able to speak with him in person he provided a litany of excuses, and became annoyed because I was upset and repeatedly stated that he "was working as fast as he could." So for your sanity and your relationships with your neighbors, do not deal with Dunn Rite!
