He is very meticulous, and sets very high standards for himself and his subs. He clearly takes pride in his work. He is also very good about working with the homeowner on special requests. Have an older home? No worries - he is well aware that older homes have lots of surprises hidden behind the walls and that you won't know what you may find until you open them up; once you see what you're working with, he is great about working through changes that may be needed to accommodate those unexpected surprises you find along the way. And he's creative in coming up with solutions to those surprises. As far as homeowner input goes, if you are someone who likes to be intimately involved in your renovations and source your own fixtures, tile, etc., he is a great fit for you. Because he's onsite for the whole project, you can speak with him almost every day about plans, questions, timing, etc. - no waiting for the GC to show up once every 3 days to have a conversation about the work. If you work with a designer, he will also accommodate that arrangement. And you can count on him to finish the punch list.

We hired H&C for a total kitchen remodel and we are so thrilled with the results! This was by far…read morethe biggest home improvement project we had ever undertaken. We sought estimates from other contractors but we felt none of them measured up to H&C in terms of their professionalism, customer service, and attention to detail. They have a deep and talented team that was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive to all of our questions no matter how small or complex. Even from the very beginning, before we had finalized a design or signed a contract, Luis and his team's responsiveness and professionalism always made us feel as though we were a valued client. That continued throughout the entire process as we worked with them to develop a design that fit within our budget. Fabio was assigned as our project manager and we couldn't be more thankful for him! He was on top of every last detail and when we had two unforeseen issues come up during demolition, he was quick to provide us a thorough assessment of the issue, several options, and his professional recommendation. It was extremely evident that Fabio and his crew that were here every day were a strong team and it was reflected in their daily communications, their craftsmanship, and their meticulous attention to detail. We'll definitely recommend H&C to our friends and family for any remodeling projects. We're looking forward to enjoying our new kitchen for years to come!

I did not have a good experience at all with this company. First, they changed project managers on…read moreme just before they came out to do that work without explanation. When the work started, they moved at a glacier pace with erratic attendance. There were days they did not show up at all, other days they would show up unexpectedly at 7am, and leave at 10am. This was never communicated with me. Next, mistakes started happening. They painted the walls the wrong color. They put up the shower door on the wrong side. They also put up the window blind backwards so I couldn't reach or use the rod to open and close it. After the shower door went up backwards, the project manager fired the workers, but the had no one to finish the work. When they finally came back to fix the shower tiles wrecked when the door went up on the wrong side, they didn't align the replacement tile patterns with each other so the pattern is disjointed and doesn't line up at all. The project manager told me it's not supposed to line up!? After complaining about it 3 times, they finally offered to replace the tiles. But they stalled on ordering them and now it's out of stock. There are also other problems - the shower faucets are not properly secured to the shower walls, the vanity light is separating from the wall and the light switch fixture is also separating from the wall. The floor tile is irregular with grout lines sometimes thick in places, other times nonexistent. Currently, they are not returning my calls or texts. I've even reached out to the owner who came out and promised to fix everything, but commented that I was overly concerned with "small" details. Now he has not returned my calls or texts about when he will come to fix things. Maybe I am concerned with details but I'd think that is common when paying 20k to have a bathroom redone according to an approved plan. At the very least, I expected that shower tile patterns would match up and that things would be well grouted or secured in shower and on walls. This was my first renovation in my first home and I'm so disappointed in how it turned out and how I was treated by the team. Also, this 2 week project took 5 and 1/2 weeks to get to where it is now. Overall the project was done carelessly with no attention to detail and with no acceptance of their mistakes and no attempt to repair the problems identified. I see they have had good reviews in the past, but my project did not go well at all. I would definitely recommend choosing another company. When I first complained they asked me not to write a bad review and I said that along as everything was fixed we had a deal. Nothing has been fixed and they are not communicating with me. I know have to either pay another company more money to fix their mistakes or take legal action to resolve the simple issues that could be easily fixed. If detail and having a project done to your liking is important I would not recommend H&C at all.

We are so glad we found Justin.

The owner Justin was great to work with, communicated almost daily, and stopped by the house frequently to check on the progress of the work and answer any questions or concerns I had. Selvin the team lead is a true craftsman, knows his stuff, and clearly takes pride in the quality of his work. Others on the team worked equally hard and they have all been with Calabrese for at least 10 years.

In July/August, we experienced a ceiling leak that caused significant damage throughout our home, impacting two bathrooms, the playroom, entryway hallway, and laundry room. After water mitigation and demolition were completed, we were left needing extensive repairs and full remodels of the affected areas. This was our first time dealing with a major home issue, and navigating insurance, contractors, and conflicting opinions felt overwhelming and stressful. I spoke with several contractors and received multiple estimates, but Alan stood out immediately. He was the first to respond and the first to give clear, straightforward, and honest answers. Beyond that, Alan is genuinely such a fun and easygoing person to work with, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. He has a great eye for design and prioritizes top-notch materials while still being realistic and respectful of budget. He guided us through the design process, helped with material selection, and made thoughtful recommendations every step of the way. Marlon and Emmanuel are incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and truly kind. They treated our home with care and always took the time to explain what they were doing, which made us feel confident and at ease throughout the process. Fast forward to today, we finally have our home back -- and we couldn't be happier with the results! Not having functional bathrooms and access to certain rooms for months took a toll on our family and our mental health. Click Construction stepped in during a very difficult time and helped restore not just our home, but our peace of mind. My only regret is not finding them sooner. I've attached before-and-after photos so you can see the incredible transformation for yourself.

Having raised all six of us kids in that home, they really want to stay there as long as they can. John and his crew added another 1200 square feet to the main level, taking into account that my parents were aging, he did everything he could to make the space count. They now have a beautiful first floor with a bedroom, bathroom and den, which opens up to a beautiful screened in porch and patio.. all rooms have smart capabilities. I could not be more pleased with how everything came together. They built a large curbless shower with cubbies, removable shower heads and a beautiful built in bench. The glass entry is large enough to accomodate a walker or wheelchair, should that day arise. Honestly, it is shocking that he could do such beautiful work, while still accommodating their individual needs. We highly recommend Craft.. we couldn't be happier!!!

We engaged John Hegarty's company to build our backyard deck in 2000 and spent $21,000 on the project. It's a good deck to this day so that's not the point. The point is that we spent that much with John's company, reached out to him for the possibility of additional work after 23 years, so we remembered him, and yet he can't be bothered to respond to our 3 messages and 1 email? Incredibly unprofessional. He seems to still be in business because who pays for webhosting and an answering service if they're out of business? We also see a review on Google from 6 months ago, so he seems to still be in business. HOW, I'm not sure. Extremely disappointing to put it mildly. If he treats repeat customers this unprofessionally, how does he treat first-time customers?
