Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Our most recent project, a complete home renovation was the 3rd project my husband and I did with John Petsco at LICC. In the past, LICC renovated our kitchen and built us a deck so when we bought our new house, there was no question what company we were going to use. This was a major project. They gutted the house, built an extension and remodeled both the downstairs and upstairs of our home. They installed a new hvac system, all new floors, light fixtures, windows and cabinets, They took down walls, built a new banister for the staircase, refaced my fireplace and built a new front door.. John helped us design the home of our dreams. He is the most amazing contractor. He handled everything. He dealt with the town for our permits, took care of electric, plumbing, hvac, installation etc. John doesn't cut corners. He was hands on from the beginning until our house was complete. He showed up and made sure everything was completed in the time frame he said it would be completed. We trust him completely. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was on point. John's crew was respectful, skilled and attentive. They answered any questions as they came up.. His office staff helped me pick out fixtures and colors and were always available to discuss my ideas for decorating my house. We are beyond happy in our home. LICC did an amazing job. We would recommend them without any reservations.

We did extensive research before picking John Petsco and LICC to do a gut renovation of our house. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice! Throughout, John was communicative and transparent, and his contractors were of the highest quality. And importantly for us, John understood our open concept vision from day one -- it was like he could read our minds. Among other things: * John helped us discover what was possible to do with the house. After tearing down the walls, he worked with an architect to figure out whether it was possible to vault the ceilings and how. * John pushed back on our ideas when they would have been too expensive for our budget, or overall not worth the money. He worked with us to find different, but equally gorgeous, ways to solve the same problem. * John ran a tight ship, and made clear when we had to pick out doors, materials, etc. This helped the project run on schedule (though of course there were inevitable delays with supplies due to Covid). * When some items were damaged in transit, John worked with suppliers to get replacements ASAP. * When we needed additional work done (e.g. to plan the backyard), John recommended other contractors, all of which have been professional and of high quality. * There was never any doubt how much anything would cost or when we'd be charged. When unexpected issues came up, John was clear and transparent about what our options were and worked with us to decide how to proceed. After the initial renovation, we continued to work with John to renovate our back yard and pool, and have recommended him to multiple friends who are doing similar projects. read more

Have known this contractor for years and can say he does PHENOMENAL work! He is also so creative and has such great ideas to help any customer out! read more

Where to start? The first thing I can tell you - John puts a clause in his contracts restricting customers from posting negative reviews. That goes a long way in explaining why there are no negative reviews here. The brief backstory here is that we built a second story addition onto our one-story ranch. The work was shoddy, mistake-ridden, and at times very dangerous for us the homeowners. There were problems at almost every turn- starting from a gross underestimate in the beginning, to the hiring of multiple subpar crews, to the mess left behind after the work was done, and most egregious the damage to our home that has rendered it full of toxigenic mold and uninhabitable. Our impression of this company is that it is inexperienced, money hungry, and uncaring to the safety and concerns of its customers. This review would be extreme in length if I provided all the evidence supporting these statements. Just please do yourself a favor and contact any of the other more qualified and better quality contractors out there for your projects. Take care and be well everyone! read more

I have used John over the years for several home improvement projects. He totally rebuilt my deck when it collapsed from snow. He most recently addressed a huge water damage issue I had in my lower level. He handled the insurance requirements. Gave me solid advice He is professional , knowledgeable and fair. His workers treated me and my home with tremendous respect. They show up as promised and are clean and polite. Their work is outstanding. A wonderful company to work with!! read more

John was fantastic! He worked with us on redoing our backyard deck and we couldn't be happier with the job done. Not only professional, John and his worker were polite and did the job in a speedy manner. John didn't overcharge us unlike some other contractors we contacted, we were so pleased with the job done we asked John to help us with our bathroom too! 5 stars! read more

I would definitely use John and his team of professionals again. they showed up every day at 8am sharp, they cleaned up after themselves. They were courteous and great to work with. read more

John Petsco and his fabulous team at Long Island Creative Contracting (LICC) completed an almost gut renovation of the interior of our new home (3,400 SF plus 1,400 SF finished basement). The project included a completely redesigned kitchen and master bath, a more open plan living area, replacement of our main living room wall with glass including 10 foot high doors that open 16 feet wide, a brand new large deck including a glass roofed patio that can be automatically screened in, stainless cable stairs, additional and enlarged windows, new molding, baseboard and doors (interior and exterior), paneling, redesigned fireplace, custom closets, painting, floor refinishing and a WHOLE lot more. Despite the magnitude of the project, LICC finished the majority of the work in 5 months so we were able to move back in in time for Memorial Day while they worked through the summer to finish the custom outdoor work. As most people do, we interviewed several contractors before choosing John. What sold us was his creative vision and ability to instantly tackle a couple of specific problem areas that the other bidding contractors and even architects were not able to. Over time, this vision became known as "magic" because every time a challenge presented itself, John would mull it over and come back a few hours later with the perfect solution. A second selling point was his extremely detailed proposal that broke out all the costs. There were several change orders along the way but those stemmed from modifications to the initial proposal or selection of more expensive materials. As people invariably do, I spent more than I initially planned to but not due to upcharges. John was actually pretty good at keeping me in check when he felt that additional spending would not add value. Unlike many of my friends' experiences during renovations, it was a real pleasure working with John and his team. We worked on the design together and he always let me know if something wouldn't fit with the overall scheme. Similarly, he listened well and was very patient. If I wanted something different than his initial suggestion, he researched it and made it happen. His team, led by his foreman Rich Eberhardt, worked tirelessly, including many weekends and whenever there were setbacks or delays, they took it in stride. Rich's attention to detail mirrored John's and they never considered anything complete until it was perfect and I was happy with it. Given the scope of the renovation, there were various subs and they were all closely supervised by John and Rich. The backbone of the operation, Jessica Nutter, John's office manager, is a master of organisation. In addition to being able to track almost anything down, she worked very efficiently with the town and got all our permits and inspections without delay. Needless to say, I love my new home and would recommend Long Island Creative for any project wholeheartedly. read more
