My husband and I used Sergio's Renovations to completely renovate our second floor, and we are…read moreabsolutely thrilled with his work and with the process of working with him. Sergio is smart, honest, hard working, a good problem solver, and really listened to us about what we wanted, even when we changed our minds about details along the way. His team did fantastic work, and he took care of all of the aspects of the construction for us (plumber, electrician, tile work, glass work, painting, etc). All of his employees were trustworthy and considerate. The scope of the project was converting our second floor into 3 rooms plus a bathroom. Sergio did a great job of offering good ideas for layout, materials, etc, but also being very responsive to our ideas and feedback. He stayed in regular contact throughout the whole job, stopping by regularly, and finished the work very close to the original timeline (he said around 2 months, and it might've been 2.5 months, but we also added on a couple little things to the project). He also stayed on budget! We loved working with him so much that we immediately hired him to overhaul our basement, which is a slightly bigger project, and he's started on that already. I very highly recommend Sergio!

At first he accused me of lying, even after his workers heard the crash and came up to see what happened. He then agreed to come back, telling me week after week he would be back. Not only has he not shown up, but he's now blowing off the condo owner downstairs who even offered to pay extra! Too bad she already paid him in full. He'll never be back. BEWARE of this guy. Any decent builder would fix the damage they caused in neighboring units, ESPECIALLY for something minor like a shelf!!!

He was able to completely transform our previously cold and humid basement into the nicest room in the house. Additionally, he added a full bath, laundry room, upgraded the service panel, installed a French drain, HVAC system and egress window. His guys also build us a wall of cabinets and doors, really maximizing our storage area. A real life saver, you won't be disappointed.

The great thing about Dan and his team is even after the construction was done he still answered my calls and has come back to do several additional projects years later. Most recently, Dan and his team finished my basement. It has been 8 years since the initial renovation and I am still super happy with the work and quality! What really sets Dan and his team apart is they listens to their clients and hears their request and concerns. We had one minor setback in my project and Dan's commitment to resolution was impressive. In my experience, no project is 100% smooth so knowing that Dan and his team can overcome the snags is HUGE to me! If you're looking for skilled professionals who deliver great results and truly get your vision, I highly recommend Aureli Construction. You won't be disappointed - they exceeded my expectations!

His brother, Michael, has taken care of and fixed my air conditioning for years. Due to this past winter storms, my house had some significant damage. Peter and his crew removed the vinyl siding, replaced the rotted wood and re-sided my home with Hardie siding. They also replaced some window and remodeled a kitchen. Peter communicates frequently and the jobs were done on time and on budget.

Peter Shepherd is a dishonest contractor. He is operating illegally as he does not have a…read morecontractors license and uses his son's with the same name. He was extremely difficult to work with. His workers do relatively quality work, but they cut corners due to Peter's instruction. I had them do a walk-in shower and the floor had to be redone by a professional tiler. The water was not draining (at the correct pitch) and puddling. After Peter's team re-did it the professional tiler took over because the puddling was not corrected. He ripped up what they had done and discovered they had just tiled over the first tile! He ripped it all up and started from scratch. Peter walked off the job and then sent me threatening texts, saying he was going to put a lien on my house, and sue me for slander. I had to hire an attorney. I had a very negative experience with this contractor and would highly recommend you run, not walk away!

We did a large renovation and moved into the house in 2014…read more I really enjoyed working with his crew but I'm left feeling like a lot of corners were cut in the finish work. The met their move in expectation within 10% of the original forecast and were within a couple points of budget (although I micromanaged the budget with more granularity than they did). It was relatively smooth sailing for the first 90% of the project. By the end of the project, however, Doug and I had a very hard time seeing eye-to-eye. I was, in hindsight, likely pretty high maintenance. That being said, the small issues I was focused on have grown into larger issues. For example, the electrician was absolutely horrendous -- sloppy, inexperienced (I had to teach him how to splice Cat5 cable after Googling it myself), and just unprofessional. He used the cheapest outlets possible - many of which still don't work properly. Closet lights don't work, the electrical panel is completely mislabeled, I have no faith in Cat5 working aside from those I did and QA'ed. The painters were a point of frustration, too. They did a very rushed and messy job and the the exterior has more peeling paint and rot after 4 years than our last house did after 20+ years. Another example, we have a tile company coming this week to fix some tiles that (for the 3rd time) have fallen out and to repair grout that has already cracked and fallen out. I believe the house is generally of solid quality but the amount of work we have to put into the house has been disappointing, to say the least. In their defense, they offered to do any remaining warranty work (I had a Google Doc listing outstanding items after we had moved in) but Doug has made it pretty clear he doesn't want to work with us on any additional projects, so I'm hesitant to trust the level of craftsmanship to fix existing projects.

Starwood Custom Homes has really enjoyed working with Jeff Pollock with Integrity Design. Jeff is…read morevery talented and does a great job in working with the clients he designs for. Jeff listens to each clients dreams and needs, gets organized and then lets his mind create and deliver. Jeff on many occasions has gone above and beyond to make the customer happy, whether it be a redesign where they weren't quite satisfied with the result or working very long hours to hit a deadline, integrity is the driving force for Jeff. I consider Jeff a valued Trade partner of Starwood Custom Homes and great friend as well.

We purchased several natural stones for our bathroom renovation, and Carlos installed them with great care. He took the time to hand select individual pieces of stone from the 1' x 1' mesh to finish the edges of our walk-in shower. And Fred, Dave's plumber, is a gem. It's obvious he takes great pride in his work, and it really came through in the installation of the new heat and hot water systems in the basement. He even took the time to point out and explain some of the home's plumbing history (e.g. down spout for the old ice box!) We really enjoyed working with Dave. We gave him a high level vision of what we wanted, and he knew how to execute. This is our first home--first purchase and first renovation--and there were numerous times I thought to myself, "I'm not sure if we could've made it without Dave". He was timely, considerate, and always available. He gave us great recommendations for paints, fixtures, and accessories. The bottom line: We'll absolutely be doing more work on our home in the future, and we won't look to anyone but Dave.
