Pete and his team at Above All Construction were absolute pros. In our first meeting, Pete took the…read moretime to explain every part of the roofing process with my wife and I, from technical stuff down to which shingles would best suit our needs. He was transparent, friendly and patient. What I was really impressed with, was how he kept referring to the shingles as "our" shingles (Ex. "We want to remove anything that can damage our shingles.") To me, it really highlighted the sense of ownership and accountability Pete dedicates to projects. He wants to deliver lasting quality to his clients. Pete ordered the materials we requested and his team went to work about a week later. While they were working, it began to rain heavily and we thought for sure the job would have to be postponed. But to our surprise, the crew waited out the rain under our carport and once it stopped, they climbed back up and started working again. They completed our main roof and garage in ONE day. Wow! I can't recommend Above All Construction enough. They treated our property with the utmost care, safely removing and disposing of multiple satellite dishes left on the roof by the previous owners, trimming branches that could harm our new shingles, reinstalling our string lights after they were finished, and even blowing our driveway clean. If it weren't for the new roof, it would be hard to tell that they were even there. That's how small a footprint they left.

The fence was completed promptly and efficiently using high-quality materials. The Zuppardo's team was collaborative and receptive to our requests and feedback throughout the process. Their expert carpenters and craftsmen are highly skilled, intelligent, and professional. The fence beautifully enhances our home's 1930s classic New Orleans architecture while providing added privacy and safety for our family. Samuel Capielano, who managed sales and customer service and coordinated the project's implementation, is kind, highly knowledgeable, trustworthy, and always ready to answer questions and guide you through the process. What I value most about Zuppardo's is that they truly care about both their customers and employees while consistently delivering superb home renovations. I will absolutely be using their services for future projects. - Alice Figueroa

We hired his company to elevate our house after Katrina in New Orleans. The job was half done and never completed. Everytime they get an inspector from city hall to inspect the condition of the home elevation for approval, it failed. They would make false promises about needing to add new vents here and there, but the real problem was that the foundation was poorly put in place at the start, so it failed inspection. It would cost them too much money to redo it, so they would make excuses to extend it out hoping we would forget. The foundation is cracking from the side and we just found out that our plumbing is busted in several places under our house. I have tried to call him repeated and he has avoided my call. We are in the process of hiring an attorney to seek for damages. The BBB has been contacted about their poor service ethics as well. This company has a rating of an F with the BBB

The crew working on our remodel was Luis, an affable genius with mechanical systems and tile work, Johnny who recommended strengthening up the bathroom floor and did a great and exacting job of it and and Wilson who expertly assisted Luis and Johnny. They all care about the quality of their work. They arrived on time on schedule and were very responsible in my home. The project finished on time on budget and beyond expectations.

It started out great with Scott and Brian before we started running into issues with unforeseen…read moreupcharges and bad workmanship. It started when I walked in the house while the subfloor was being installed and found that the crew had installed undersized floor joists. I had to ask that they redo the work correctly. We ran into similar issues down the road with poor framing and terrible communication from the project manager. I, in essence, became the project manager making sure that their subs came back to do the work they needed to do (and do it correctly) while paying Riverbend to do it. I hired Riverbend to GC this job and they essentially just let their subs run the job - no quality control whatsoever. If their subs cut corners, they don't do anything about it. I was forced re-do large portions of the house framing because the drywall couldn't be put on. We are currently in process of the job and Scott and Brian stopped communicating once I told them I'd like compensation for the reframing I had to do.. It's pretty disappointing.. If you understand elements of construction and are willing to double check their work, Riverbend might be for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend working with them. Updated: Scott, you're account of history is inaccurate and highly misleading. I hired Riverbend to handle all of the upfront work minus permits and material sourcing. Our agreement was that Riverbend would complete the rough in, electrical, and structural work and I would obtain the permit and order materials. It's also strange to me that you are recounting history when you weren't involved through most of the renovation. Below is a response to each point you listed below. 1) Scope: RB was hired to compete the structural, electrical and plumbing up to rough in. I told you that I wouldn't have time to manage the front-end work. I did not change the scope at all with the exception of adding a few lights here or there once we saw the lighting situation with the installed windows. In fact, Brian was trying to expand the scope throughout the project. Offering additional (extremely costly and unnecessary) repairs throughout the project. At one point, he recommended that we remove all of the siding on the left side of the house to repair a bow in the wall which wasn't even the correct approach - the bow had to do with the foundation/sill. I had this repaired correctly for 1/10th the price. Then, once we got to the plumbing work, your plumber doubled the rate and I was forced to move very quickly to find a new plumber. I had no issues with the electrician's work, so let's set the record straight on that. 2) At no point did anyone from your team tell me that there were any defects with the materials. If they had, I would have ordered different material. I ordered the #2 stud grade pine from a reputable lumber mill and given the amount of wood, it came in bundles. If your crew saw defects while unpacking, we could have returned and replaced the material, but again, not a single issue was raised. Also, I'm not sure why you believe there were many discussions about anything. Brian and I had a few discussions about the work but there was limited communication throughout the project. I would get very last-minute requests for material or something to be done before an inspection that I would need to react quickly to. It seemed like there was little forward thought about coordinating the project to make it move smoothly. 3) Work that exceeded code requirements: What are you referring to here? Was this related to fixing the hallway which was poorly framed and too narrow in order to meet the 36" hallway width minimum? If you can clarify that would be helpful. 4) Workmanship: It's easy to blame issues on material I suppose but I've shared some pictures to show what I saw and sent to you and Brian to repair. The pictures don't show the dimensions of these walls which were also not correct in many locations. For example, both smaller bedroom closets were not square or plumb. It would have been impossible to install a closet door and have it look correct. I had to tear them out entirely and reframe. The entire hallway wasn't square, plumb or the correct width. It narrowed from the front to back to a point where it fell below hallway minimum width. I had to reframe the entire hallway. Brian came and saw the issues and said the crew would come back and fix it. They came and did almost nothing to fix it. I've included pictures so you and everyone can see what I was dealing with.
