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.

They responded quickly, and were out looking at it the day after I called. The tech was knowledgeable and came up with a solution and a reasonable quote, which was delivered in writing the next day.

I hired Sipes and Son General Contractors to perform a few activities: brick pointing and sealing…read morenear my front porch and garage; installing a metal pipe column to support a ceiling/floor; and removing and replacing drywall in a ceiling so floor joists could be inspected. The sales rep/owner Chad Sipes came to my house to talk about my projects. He gave me an estimate of $5,000, which I thought was a little high, but all home-improvement companies during the pandemic seem to be charging high prices. I hired Sipes and Son because they have been in business since the year 2000, they perform the services that I needed, and because they had excellent reviews on other websites such as the Better Business Bureau. The work was performed over about one month, because some of the work was for the exterior of my house, and the weather in January and February was snowy. Four workers came to my house off and on, and all of them were very courteous and professional. I feel very happy with the quality of their work. I expect the brick pointing and sealing to prevent rainwater from damaging my bricks and foundation. The pipe column and drywall were my husband's idea, and they probably were not necessary, but at least we can have peace of mind that our floor will always be sturdy. I am strongly considering hiring Sipes and Son to remodel my kitchen and bathrooms.

We are so grateful to have found Mystique Renovations. We were matched to the company through a…read moreHomeAdvisor inquiry after close to 2 years of failed attempts at securing a contractor. Our project was to remove a VERY outdated, dilapidated sunroom/greenhouse room on the back of our Pittsburgh-area home and replace with just a simple concrete patio. We needed the structure, tile flooring, old interior doors, and drywall removed. We then needed a staircase refinished, new exterior doors installed, and siding installed to replace the drywall. JR and his team not only took care of these items through quality work, but then they did some additional projects to help us prep the home for new renters. JR was truly a dream come true for us since we currently reside in CA, and I was going through a high-risk pregnancy that didn't allow me to travel, let alone stress about this important project. JR provides text updates with photos. He explained new options when necessary and, most importantly, gave us fair pricing. Out of the quotes we had received, Mystiques was in the middle, but we chose to go with the company because JR gave us confidence that our home would be in good hands. And it was! Thank you, JR and team. You earned every one of those five stars!

The job was done quickly too. Then, we had had them install engineered flooring in a living room, two bedrooms, and a hallway.

As often happens, there was a mix up in the delivery from the store and there was not enough of the stair nose. James was flexible and was able to come back as soon as the correct pieces were delivered. I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he is doing as well. I recommend James and his crew for similar projects.

Avoid at All Costs - Total Ripoff by Joshua Schwartz & Artifex Remodeling…read moreI wish I had read a review like this before hiring Joshua Schwartz and Artifex Remodeling because it would have saved me a massive headache and a lot of money. This was, without a doubt, one of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences I've ever had with a contractor. The Bait-and-Switch Tactic Joshua Schwartz came off as confident and knowledgeable during the initial consultation. He promised high-quality work, reasonable timelines, and great attention to detail. Everything sounded perfect. But the moment I paid my deposit, the professionalism disappeared. Getting responses became nearly impossible, and suddenly, all those "guarantees" were just empty words. Deposit Taken, Then Ghosted After taking my deposit, communication became a nightmare. Calls and messages were ignored, and when I did get a response, I was fed nothing but excuses and delays. Weeks went by with no progress. I had to chase them down just to get vague, half-hearted answers about why the project hadn't started. Poor Workmanship & Cutting Corners When they finally did show up to do the work, it was rushed and completely subpar. Crooked installations, sloppy finishes, and corners cut everywhere. It was clear that they were just trying to get in and out as quickly as possible while still collecting full payment. And when I pointed out the issues? They either ignored me or made excuses. Price Keeps Changing & No Accountability The final straw was when they suddenly asked for more money to "fix issues" that they themselves created! I had already paid them a significant amount, and now they were trying to squeeze more money out of me for their own mistakes. When I refused, they basically walked away and left the job unfinished. Final Verdict - Stay Away Joshua Schwartz and Artifex Remodeling are completely untrustworthy. They will take your money, disappear, and then do shoddy work when they finally show up. Do NOT trust this company. If you value your time, money, and sanity, stay far away and hire someone reputable. You've been warned.

They will rip you off and not do any work. And then when you take em to small claims they won't pay. Cuz someone is broke and not paying their insurance premiums. I don't know how the truth I spoke on here got taken down but I bet it's because it hit too close to home. Again, use ANY other company unless you want to be swindled out of a crap load of money!!! Wonder why there's only good reviews? The owner flags em so people think this is a good company. It's not. Wish I hadn't gotten mixed up with this place.
