Our dissatisfaction was primarily due to misrepresentation of advertised slogans like "We do it from beginning to end." In reality services were mixed but no one offered a complete, finished project. Lacking services included removing old carpet, additional wood trim work, refinishing, staining and painting. To complete the project we in essence had to become the general contractor coordinating different services which was unacceptable. A friend recommended Home Trimwork in Huntingdon Valley, PA. The outcome far exceeded our high standards. The design manager showcased new ideas and in-depth experience during the 1st virtual session. After a few sessions we finalized the design and went to contract. The project details and timeline were clearly communicated. The project materials manager ordered the required materials and the project coordinator stayed in constant communication. The project started on time and the skilled wood craftsman was exceptional in terms of detail and quality workmanship. The final phase was painting and the outcome exceeded all our expectations. Every Home Trimwork team member was courteous, respectful of us and our property, highly skilled, professional and focused on providing an exceptional customer experience. We "highly" recommend contacting Home Trimwork for any custom woodwork projects.

We had had Kristin from Cranmer's design the kitchen on our $150,000 addition seven years ago and…read morewere so happy with the results that we asked her for her help with we decided to downsize to our two-bedroom condo in a 55+ community. On the first job, we had gotten Kristin to design the kitchen, but had used our own contractor. This time, since all we were doing was the kitchen reno, we chose to use Cranmer's contractor, Tom, too. We worked closely with both Kristin and Tom to iron out any details and to prepare for the job so that the cost was reasonable give the size and cost of our unit. While the job was initially rather more expensive than we had wanted, we were all able to work together to come with a great plan at a reasonable cost. We decided on the stock cabinets, rather than semi-custom, to save money and are very happy with our choice. Even the laminate counter-tops look great because we found a beautiful -- rather than builder's grade -- drop-in sink. We completely remodeled the kitchen -- took it down to the studs and started over. While the design and planning were well executed -- the most impressive part of the job was the renovation itself. The work started on a Monday. I don't know method of demolition was used, but I came home to a kitchen that had been completely removed and a sparkling clean space in its place. The work steadily progressed with not a single day passing without some progress being made. Incredibly enough, the job was done by the end of the 4th week. And, the kitchen is beautiful. Great attention to detail. The cost actually ended up to be less than estimated because less electrical work needed to be done than initially thought. Even my neighbors thought it was a wonderful experience. I've heard many compliments about how nice and friendly the crew was. I'm so happy with the result that I'm just waiting to accumulate some funds before I have everyone back to remodel the bathrooms!

I have had Cranmer's do a kitchen and bathroom for me. I worked with Tad, who had great references…read morefrom others in my area for whom he had completed (much larger, bigger budget, and subsequently more beautiful) kitchens. The projects I did were in a duplex in princeton, and the size of each space is SMALL. To stay on budget, we kept the basic layout of the spaces the same. Tad had great ideas to use the space better, but we would have had to move a door and do some other adjustments, and the house is a rental (I'm the landlord) so I wasn't up for the increased investment. If I were living there myself, I would definitely have reconfigured based on his advice and I would have used Wood-Mode cabinets which is what I have in my own house. As it is, I selected Brookhaven (the lower-cost line in Wood-Mode) cabinets in the kitchen. It's been 5 years and the kitchen (with tenants living there) is in great condition, so i can definitely speak to the quality of the cabinets. We used Corian on the counters - easy for tenants. The estimate was spot-on - Tad definitely thinks ahead of time about whether changes to electrical and HVAC will be necessary (we needed to move both to accommodate the new cabinets), so you don't need to worry about significant surprises when it comes to finishing the job. When the whole kitchen was installed, he wasn't thrilled with the appearance of the cabinet at the end of the peninsula and ordered an extra piece of cabinet detail to add to make it look better - he has a good sense of aesthetic and detail. Cranmer's employees who installed the kitchen (and a year later the bathroom) were such genuinely nice people, they were pleasant to be around and were clean. Just a superlative group to work with. I would recommend Cranmer's/Tad Troilo/their whole crew without hesitation. The estimate may come out higher than some competitors, but you won't be faced with change orders later. And the work will be perfect. (Another bonus for me - Tad lives in Princeton, so if you live in the area, he will stop by your project personally to check on the progress.)

After we hired and placed our deposit of $3,000 the work was scheduled and was completed but from the beginning there were issues with the paint adhering to the cabinets. They did not properly sand or fill in different areas of the nail holes, blemishes caulking, and other blemishes they never fixed. The paint streaked and shows fingerprints constantly. We called the owner multiple times to ask him to come take a look immediately after the job was completed. They tell us he is always not available or out of the country. He is always going to come look when he answers a text but never does. They want us to send them pictures of the problem areas but after paying a total of $6,000 and they get their money they are gone!!! Completely disappointed in the workmanship and customer service!!! Just buy new cabinets. We never even received our touch up paint because Yanni couldn't be bothered to come back and see the faulty job.

We know now whenever we need to install or upgrade anything in the house, we will call Center City Contractors. Terrific prices, terrific people, and even better work.

We purchased a home earlier this year, and the general inspection revealed water damage in one…read morespot. Because of that, we insisted on a full moisture inspection of all the manufactured stone. When we discovered the problem, I immediately started researching contractors because I knew that I'd need a solid, timely quote to continue negotiating the deal. Based off positive reviews online, I contacted Dave Condon on a Saturday morning via text and he responded to me within 10 minutes. I was floored, given that contractors are generally tough to deal with. Dave and the moisture inspection company helped me a lot in understanding the issues so I could negotiate with the seller and encouraged me to stand my ground. We eventually worked out a deal and closed on the house, but all of the stone needed to be replaced. Dave set us up with addresses of homes in the area so that we could look at different colors and styles in person. If you're approaching a similar job, I encourage you to do the same because it makes a difference seeing the material up on a house. We ordered our stone, which took a few weeks to come in, and Dave's crew started the job. From start to finish, there were no surprises. Dave's crew worked efficiently, was there on time when they said they'd be, and did excellent work. A crew of six did all the demo and had it done in two days. The entire project took two weeks, which was precisely the schedule Dave had given us at the start of the job. Along the way Dave explained where the problem areas were and why they had appeared. What sets Dave apart is his communication. He was always proactive in letting us know what was going on. Another note on Dave's stone guys -- they did a phenomenal job of laying the stone so the pattern looked fantastic. You may notice that the same stone on two different houses can look very different because it's laid by different crews. Some look great and some may look patchy. Dave's guys were real artists and did a great job. I wouldn't hesitate to hire C&C again and have recommended them to friends.

We hired Mr. Contractor to completely renovate the kitchen and primary bathroom in our 130-year-old…read morePhiladelphia home, and we're thrilled with how everything turned out. When we were choosing a contractor, Mr. Contractor's Yelp rating gave me some hesitation - especially given the high ratings elsewhere. But when I read the reviews themselves rather than just looking at the overall rating, many of the complaints seemed to involve relatively small jobs. We needed someone for a large, complicated renovation of a very old house, and the experience and capabilities Ken demonstrated seemed much better suited to that kind of project. Having now completed the job, I'm very glad we made that distinction. This was a big project, and our old house threw plenty of surprises at us. Once the demo began, our engineer found that part of the kitchen needed to be structurally rebuilt from the foundation up. That meant coordinating with our architect and structural engineer and substantially expanded the work. Despite that and the many twists and turns that followed, Ken and his crew kept things moving and completed an extraordinary amount of work in just 10 weeks. What really stood out was the crew. These guys were craftsmen who took genuine pride in what they were building. More than once, they spent extra time on something simply to get the finished result just right or recommended enhancements that were not charged. A friend who is a high-end interior designer saw the kitchen afterward and was impressed by the quality of the construction and attention to detail. We also lived in the house throughout the renovation. The crew was friendly and respectful, and they cleaned up the work areas at the end of every day -- something we came to appreciate enormously during 10 weeks of construction. Was every little detail perfect the first time? No. But that's actually part of why I'm comfortable giving Ken five stars. When something wasn't right, he worked to make it right. He and his team stayed engaged through the end of the project, addressed our punch-list items, and have continued to stand behind their work afterward. And we LOVE the result. The kitchen has completely changed the way we live in the house. It has become the place where our family naturally gathers, and it's as comfortable and functional to cook in as it is beautiful. The new bathroom has been equally transformative. At the beginning, I worried that we might be spending too much on the project - and it was significant. But by the end, having seen the amount of work involved and the quality and care that went into it, I felt exactly the opposite: we received very good value for our money. My takeaway is that Ken's particular strength is a substantial, complex project where you need an experienced GC who can keep multiple trades moving, deal with unexpected conditions, solve problems as they arise, and see the whole thing through. Renovating a 130-year-old house isn't easy, and I'd much rather have a contractor who knows how to deal with the inevitable problems and stands behind the finished product. We'd happily hire Ken and Mr. Contractor again.
