I am pleased to share my experience with Soltren Construction. I worked with Luis Soltren (Junior)…read morefor installation of rolling hurricane shutters. The very first thing that stood out about Luis was his timely response. So many contractors never even contact you back, or if they do, they take days or weeks. Luis is not like the others. He responded quickly to my initial contact, and quickly with a quote once he came and did his survey. Luis also has excellent communication skills. Throughout the process Luis always communicated well. If traffic was heavy, he let me know he was running late BEFORE his expected arrival time. He kept me in the loop on the shipment of the shutters, the installation schedule, and all other aspects of the job. He never left me wondering what was happening or when. Every day before he left, he did a quick summary of what would happen next. It was totally different than most other contractors I've had here. I never felt forgotten. Beyond being professional in his communication, Luis is very polite, courteous, and personable. Luis was punctual and timely. He never missed a day because he was off surfing or just didn't feel like working. He showed up every day he said he would, and worked with me on days I couldn't be home, or where he had some other commitment. For anyone who's been here a while, you know how hard it can be to even get someone to show up. It was refreshing and appreciated not to have that experience with Soltren Construction. Once on site, Luis set up his equipment and got to work. Having spent years in the construction trade and two decades in the military, I can tell you the Luis knows his business. His work was meticulously thought out and performed. Most tradesmen I feel the need to watch closely so they don't cut corners and/or do shoddy work. After watching Luis do the first two windows, I felt perfectly comfortable moving on and doing my own projects while he worked. He did the work with the care and attention I imagine he uses on his own house, particularly with little details that are often overlooked. I really appreciated that. Perhaps one of the best things for me was that Luis was very neat and clean in his work and work space. He cleaned up his work area every single day, never leaving a mess or piles of sawdust. He hauled away his own garbage every day. When he needed to work in the house he always carefully covered surrounding areas with plastic, and always left things as neat and clean as he found them. (Sometimes more so!) Again, he treated our house like it was his own with the level of care he showed. In short, I couldn't be happier with the experience, with the shutters, or Soltren Construction. Luis Soltren is a consummate professional and I'd happily hire him again.

Brian Installed a new roof on our building 4 years ago. $30k++. Not a small job…read more Just found a damaged valley which has caused dry rot under shingles and at the eave. Not trivial. No one has been on the roof since new roof was installed so while we're not sure the damaged occurred at that time of installation, logic points to it. Its a question. Also someone put roof tar on the holes to try and cover up. Sounds like a roofer would do that. This review is because Brian, who has done quite a bit of work for us in the past, will not even come out to look at the problem and discuss a solution. Very disappointing. And not who I thought he was when he was hired.

They found huge mistakes from the previous crew and worked hard to correct them. They stand by their "done right" motto. Our remodel wasn't an easy job - we bought a hoarder home with numerous structural problems. Each time they uncovered a new one, they presented the problem and the best solution. We completely trusted their judgement, and the solved each problem perfectly. Not only are the Cluetts amazing at renovation, they are kind and generous. We feel that they went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we had the home we dreamed of, and we couldn't be more grateful that we found them.

The infrastructure in our home is very outdated and Marc drove to four different stores in one day to find the right parts for everything (plus an Amazon order for a part that wasn't available on island). He fixed the leak and was even able to fix our shower handle that hasn't worked properly for at least 4 years. 3 other plumbers had said it wasn't possible to do without tearing apart the wall and replacing the pipes. Marc took the time to R&D and got it done for us, quickly too. So grateful that he didn't give up on it. Such a nice and genuine guy. He'll definitely be our go to moving forward, especially as we think about renovations!
