Based on the reviews of John and his company across platforms, I expected to have a very positive…read moreexperience. I used Red Hammer Contracting over the summer after purchasing my first home. After a nightmare contractor experience to begin, I was confident when I then hired Red Hammer I would be in good hands. While things started off well, they quickly declined and I was left with half finished projects yet I was out the full amount as if everything was fully completed and correct. Towards the end everything was rushed, so things weren't completed to the quality you'd expect for the price and some other items were simply not completed. I was told I would be reached out to when there was additional time to finish items, but never was. This left me having to find someone else to redo and/or complete some of the work which is extremely disappointing and a significant financial strain for a first time home buyer.

We hired his company to install Pergo flooring and they knocked it out the box ! From here on, John is my go to contractor when my husband is getting overwhelmed.

They don't fool around, so you won't get any of that obnoxious run-around you may find from other contract workers who wriggle around on a quote or don't show up on time. I had a serious electrical issue in my three story home and AJ's was able to have it done in record time at an insanely reasonable rate, all with politeness, punctuality and a smile. You seriously cannot ask for better in this part of the PA/DE/NJ area. And just to be clear, I do not know him or anyone at his business personally. This is an earnest and honest review of a totally professional exchange. HIRE THESE GUYS FOR YOUR JOB! You won't regret it.

Not only did we not receive the job that was accepted but every excuse was rendered and we had to chase him with phone calls and emails. Lost over a month of our time trying to ascertain the timeline for our project--which was never answered. The worst sort of contractor to use. One who promises a job and then never does it or offers any apology.

From the moment we contacted Elite, we knew we were in good hands with Steve. He was professional,…read moreknowledgeable, and able to pinpoint exactly what needed to be done to repair our deck. He corrected a botched job (done by another untrustworthy contractor) and did so with such finesse that you'd never even notice where he made his repairs. He was communicative, even taking the time to explain to us what was wrong and what needed to be done to make the appropriate repairs. He was prompt, diligent, and a hard worker. He completed our job in a timely fashion and arrived whenever he said he would. His prices were competitive and reasonable. Overall, we had such a great experience with Steve at Elite, we cannot recommend them enough. If you're looking for a good contractor, you've found it here. Thanks so much, Steve!

Steve coated and repaired my roof in Aug 2017 and approximately 1 month later I found water in my basement. After I did an exhausting search for the source of the leak and Steve coming to assess his work (which was still in excellent condition), through our discussion he suggested other potential causes and how to investigate them. Ultimately, I found that the source of my basement water was a leaky toilet next door. His suggestions and guidance really made the difference! Overall, his professionalism, timeliness in responding to emails, ease of payment, pricing, and of course his work are all top notch. I especially appreciate how he walked me through the process of getting my roof done (as a physician, I knew little about) and supplemented with before/after photos. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were looking for a carpenter to create some custom pieces to accent our outdoor…read morespace. We contacted a few different carpenters, including Chris, and asked them to come to our property and meet with us before submitting a proposal. Chris stood apart from the competition from the second he stepped through our door by bringing samples of different types of woods for us to consider. He also submitted a complete and thorough quote very quickly after meeting with us, and we agreed that he was the right person for the job. He came to our house for a second meeting before beginning the woodwork and spent a considerable amount of time walking through artistic details with us. From the time we gave him a deposit for the project to the complete installation, only a couple of weeks had passed. The speed with which the project was complete obviously provided a great sense of satisfaction but the workmanship on our pieces is unparalleled. When all was said and done, we ended up with multiple tiered planters and a pergola in our backyard, and a custom bench with built in planters and accent shelving on our roof deck. The final aesthetic of each piece FAR exceeded our expectations and has only managed to make us anxious to work with Chris again. Everyone who has been to our home since the installation has "oohed and ahhed" over the finished product and that includes people who helped build our house. To admire the carpentry that Chris created is one thing, but his professionalism and integrity really sets him apart from the competition. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality, customized carpentry and in fact, I would recommend people consider his services rather than purchasing cookie cutter pieces from local stores. Now that we know Chris' artistry and skill, I can think of many other projects we will work with him on from gifts to furniture needs and house upgrades.

Chris recently installed a set of stairs off of my kitchen that lead down to a new patio. I was…read moreoriginally going to use a different carpenter, but I had trouble getting him to work with my landscaper who was building the patio (upon which the stairs would rest). Thank heavens my landscaper recommended Chris - I was skeptical, but was impressed that Chris showed up at my house 15 minutes after my landscaper called him. I really only used Chris because I trusted my landscaper. Having said that, my landscaper was right! And thank heavens I listened to him. The stairs are beautiful. Ipe wood stairs with a timbertech railing system. They look better than I even thought they would. And I had high expectations! The cuts were really well done - everything aligns perfectly and they feel very, very solid when I walk on them. Chris is, in his way, an artist. But I suppose all good carpenters are. I will use Chris for any other carpentry needs that I might have.

John and Bill are absolutely fantastic! They completed a four month renovation on my South Philly…read morehome with clear and consistent communication, care, thoughtfulness (and a lot of laughter). When John first came to the house to prepare a quote, he was respectful and direct- he told me what he thought needed done, handled my sticker shock with grace, and explained my options in a way my non-contractor brain could understand. I spoke with a few contractors and he was by far the most reasonably priced as well as most pleasant to work with. Work began on time and John's estimates for the length of time needed to complete the work were accurate. We initially budgeted three months but when a structural issue was found he called me to discuss options. He shared his opinion but did not pressure me to make a specific decision. Once I'd decided, he got to work immediately to get the required permits and architectural plans. The issue added a month to the project and John graciously accommodated that around his other projects. His and Bill's attention to detail was a very pleasant surprise! I've worked with many contractors during my career in real estate and they are by far the most thoughtful. They clean up after a project better than I do! When I labored over a layout decision, John patiently discussed the pros and cons of each option and gave me time to consider while communicating when he needed a decision so as to keep work on track. I was impressed with John and Bill's design taste- they have a great eye!- and pointed out ways to optimize my kitchen and bathroom designs. I was also impressed with the other professionals John recommended and sub contracted with for junk removal, painting, countertops, front door, roofing, and tile work. But the best part of the whole process was the trust and ease with which we collaborated (second only to witnessing the banter between John and Bill... and Bill's clothing choices.) Be sure to ask John about the treats!

Mitchell Renovations (headed by John Mitchell) were consummate professionals. They were…read moreindependent, respectful, superbly helpful, extremely neat and true devoted craftsmen. You can tell by speaking with John that he REALLY cares about the work and is invested in your property. He made suggestions during the job that not only upgraded the initial quality of what we were looking for but saved us a bit of money in the end. He is honest with the state of the work that needed to be done and make outstanding creative suggestions when asked for his opinion (color, style blend, etc). His team was like ghosts, they did not stray from the work/ staging areas and were essentially ghosts - the only signs of their presence was the completed work. It was done about a week faster than they anticipated and honestly looks better than we hoped. Amazing work, I wish we found them sooner. I'd hire John 10/10 times if I had to do it over. he definitely over-delivered for us.

Then when Paul Robert's himself went out to speak to the neighbor, he ended up cursing her out and calling her a self entitled B**ch.
