The was amazing working with Jason and his crew at building buddies. Before the Reno started, I had…read moreno idea how to transform the space but Jason had great ideas and was great collaborating with him on them. They worked on removing old drop ceiling and out dated wall paneling with brand new plasterboard throughout the house. They were efficient with great attention to detail! I would work with Jason and the crew over and over again and am looking forward to doing so on different projects in the future. The value and results are well worth it! Mike

Our basement was a hodgepodge of three different floorings, one drop and one conventional ceiling,…read moreand two walls in the laundry area covered in plastic by a waterproofing company. Jason and his team renovated the whole basement by installing drywall, replacing the drop ceiling with a conventional ceiling and new lighting, and covering the entire floor with functional but attractive laminate. They went above and beyond to make sure we were involved in the design and satisfied with the results. In addition, they replaced our kitchen floor, which had some water damage, with beautiful ceramic tile to complement the existing quartz counters. This is the second major project Jason has done for us. He previously remodeled a bathroom for us, replacing all the fixtures and flooring, as well as installing a pocket door. We are very happy with all the work that was done and would highly recommend Building Buddies.

I also requested several quotes for this work to repair my deck - Alan came in at a very reasonable rate. Much more so than some of the other quotes and the work he did was of high standard. See photo of the time he took to sand the edges of the handrails; he also took special care to choose high quality boards. Even when he ended up realizing that there would need to be additional work to be done that would come at an additional cost to me, he made sure to talk me through my options, he made recommendations, and never forced me into anything. Instead, he worked with me to find solutions that would result in a safe, quality deck and also at a cost that I could manage. We're quite pleased with our repaired deck and would absolutely hire him again. He exceeded our expectations.

I was visiting my aunt in Pittsburgh and accidentally broke her anvient thermostat. The front panel…read morejust fell off when I was trying to fiddlw with the controls. The model was so old that I was not able to find a manual for it and after I noticed it still had a mercury capsule for measuring temperature I told her we should replace the whole thing anyway. I had no idea how the wiring worked, so I looked for a handyman nearby with experience working on these older models. I found Oleh through his website, he told me he has replaced the exact same model in the past and even told me what the wires were upfront so I decided to go with him to do the job. He said he could buy a replacement on his way to me and didn't charge me extra, even showed me the receipt for how much he paid for the new one. I paid 25$+tax for the new thermostat and 85$ for the replacement work. He knew exactly what he was doing. Because the new device was smaller he also applied some drywall filler to patch up the spot for free. The communication was great, pricing was very transparent, everything worked, so I'm very happy with the service.

Tucked in the back of a gas station is one of the greatest sandwiches in the city, and it's being…read moremade by the kindest older couple you'll ever meet, Bob and Carol. They've been doing this for 50 years, and it shows in every bite. They make their own Slovenian kielbasa and hot sausage, which alone would be enough reason to stop in. But the real heavyweight champ here is the Reuben. This thing is obscene in the best way possible. You get a half-cow's worth of corned beef stacked on three slices of Mancini's seeded rye for like 13 bucks.. Perfectly grilled, balanced, and absolutely fearless with the portions. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you stop mid bite and laugh because it's that good. Knock-your-socks-off good. I'll go out on a limb and say this might be the best sandwich in the city. If you care about real food, real people, and places that still do things the right way, go here. Then go back again and again and again! Just a heads up the kitchen closes at 2pm and is NOT open on weekends!

It was storming so badly, I pulled over to get gas. I was drenched running from my car to the store…read moreto pay for gas. I was holding my 8 pound Yorkie and the poor thing was drenched and shaking. The second I walked in, the old guy asked me to leave since I had my dog. What a terrible staple of the community to push someone out in a storm with their small dog that was held! Not unleashed . Awful. I went down the road into shaler and the guy was so welcoming to me and my dog, and even offered me a free cup of hot coffee because he felt so bad that I was out in the storm and wrenched and just needed some gas to get home. You can have that don't be crummy gas station in Spring Garden with the dumpy crummy old people that have such sticks in the mud and unkind and unfriendly, and unwilling to lend a helping hand in a storm . Disgusting and such a dog friendly world to have nasty people like this to push you away with one. My dog is cleaner than your crummy station.
