This review is long overdue for work we had done in October. We needed a contractor to turn a large…read morebedroom into 2 smaller bedrooms for our kids. We needed framing, sheetrock, electrical, trim and closets built. Joe was way more responsive than all other contractors and was very reasonable with costs. The price was exactly what he quoted us. (Another contractor was supposed to start before we found Joe and completely ghosted us around the start date.) Lou was the main guy who was here several days and he was great. We felt totally comfortable with him in our home. Our 4 year old son kept asking where Lou was after the project was completed. Lou worked around us when it came to hours that worked best for our family. Our kids love their bedrooms. And our 4 year old son finally sleeps in his own bed. We will be calling Joe when we are ready to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms.

DISASTER. Turn and run. We hired Joe for a large 203K project. We had problems from the very…read morebeginning: he was slow to start, kept changing his mind about the game plan, complained about the fact that he could get no money up front--terms of the 203K that he had of course agreed to--and pressured us to give him significant up-front money to "help him start". He instructed me in June of 2024 to rush to buy materials for a small bathroom that was still mostly unfinished in April of 2025; that kind of thing happened multiple times. His workers were inadequately supervised, and he was difficult to reach, often saying things like I'm at a kid's soccer game, out to dinner with my daughter, etc. The way that 203K's work is that HUD inspectors come out at regular intervals to make sure that adequate work has been done to make a draw from the total budget. Joe did a bunch of stuff merely to look busy to justify the first draw, in August: a slap-dash exterior paint job over crumbling paint that made a mess and did not hold, for instance. Between the first and the second draw, there was slow but meaningful progress--but by then we were 5 months into a job that we were told would take 4-6 months, and nowhere near done. During much of that 3-month interval he had just one guy working on our huge project, an electrician. After the second draw, in late November, he basically just stopped working on the house. We were making double housing payments the whole time, of course, so we panicked. We were almost out of money. After numerous calls and messages failed to get him to pick up the pace, at the urging of our lender, we scheduled a third draw, 3 months after the second one. At that draw, the HUD inspector certified that no work had been done, so no funds would be paid out. That's when we finally worked up the nerve to fire him. It was terrifying, because our lender told us that we would have trouble getting anyone to take on such a large project with only what was left in the budget after Joe depleted it. By the grace of God, we did find one. He swept in and got the job done in about 4 months. We finally moved in almost exactly one year after closing. Of course we had two mortgage payments the whole time. The work could have been finished within 6 months, or close to it, if we had found a great contractor like the one we found after we fired Mr. Depiano. Working with Mr. Depiano was harrowing. We were newbs at this, and therefore easy to fool. DON'T MAKE OUR MISTAKE.

He brought me in on every decision and explained clearly what the options were. He worked well with my design and his expertise made it even better. (See the before and after photos.) We recommend Jason highly and will definitely look to hire him for our next project!

I hired Nava Building to complete a complex renovation of my downstairs and their services were…read moreprovided in a timely manner. The entire Nava team was highly professional throughout the process. Alex, the owner, communicated effectively and courteously from the time of estimate to outlining the construction process to completing the job. Nava's prices were very fair, especially for the level of professionalism that the Nava team brought to the project. Thank you for your excellent work. I highly recommend Nava.

Hey! My name is Ana. I'm writing this review for…read moreNavabuilding. I received positive feedback from a friend on their behalf. Seeing as I had a small project I decided to give them a call. Right from the start I felt comfortable. Alexander came out (on time) and provided a free estimate. Really great! His overall quote was competitive and fair. I enjoyed the process, seeing my old guest bathroom transform. I'm super thrilled with the result and have no issues whatsoever recommending Navabuilding. Punctual, CLEAN and professional. Five stars.

Water was seeping into my closet. My husband went into the attic and noticed sunlight around a roof…read morevent. I noticed that Kevin Phillips Roofing responds quickly on Yelp, and had great reviews. Sure enough, after contacting him, he messaged me in about five minutes. He came out the next day, and replaced all of the gaskets around the roofing vents. He showed me a before and after picture of the gaskets. He surmised that a squirrel could have chewed into the gasket, trying to get into our house. I think that he is right, because other neighbors have squirrels in their attic. He is a nice guy, very professional, timely in his response and does not cost you an arm and a leg. I would hire him again in the future!

He…read morecontacted me a few days later with a solution and put me on his schedule, 2 weeks later the roof was repaired. A few important things to note: 1: Kevin got back to me within hours from my initial request. 2: He followed up with me in the timeframe he said he would. 3: He showed up on the agreed upon day and completed the job without any issues. These things might seem trivial but when dealing with any kind of contractor today, these are rare traits. I will definitely call Kevin for any future roofing jobs.

I'm going to duplicate my review on google because I honestly hope more people find JO Flooring;…read moreafter being burned in the industry, JO flooring not only saved the day for me, but they delivered above and beyond on every level: This is the team you want taking care of your home. I can't speak highly enough of Jonathan and his team. I was burned by another contractor and had to line up a new flooring contractor in a matter of days to do 1,100 sq feet of work. Jonathan drove out in a snowstorm to measure my home, matching my sense of urgency. Not only has he worked hard to accommodated my timeline (project start less than a week from my inquiry) but also they're now scheduled to finish ahead of schedule. JO Floorung is a team of experts. They clearly take pride in what they do, and have been such fantastic communicators, setting my mind at ease while delivering quality service on a moments notice. I only wish more businesses did work the way JO Flooring does!!

We highly recommend J&O Flooring.
