Pat Cassio and his team are the epitome of professionalism. I've been looking for a reliable,…read moreskilled, trusted, reasonably priced contractor/carpenter for years and mostly had only negative experiences. From the moment I spoke with Pat he impressed me. He's honest, candid, easy going, and personable. Just a solid gentlemen who accomplishes his job efficiently, effectively, and with pride. His team of three showed up on time (actually they arrived early and waited in their trucks until our appt time which was so refreshing), measured my ceiling to install my new attic stairs, then purchased them and installed them in less than a couple of hours. I called a half dozen or so "so called pros" who quoted me an astronomical price for only two workers and then didn't return my calls to schedule an appt; one contractor never showed up for our scheduled appt. I can only reasonably believe that the job was too small and when offered a bigger, better paying job, they blew me off. Well not Pat & his team. I can't say enough positive things about Cassio Pros in Rahway. Their expert skills, extensive clean-up, and phenomenal pricing (reasonable pricing genuinely reflects that these gents are trying to make a living and not a killing) will have me ONLY turning to Pat and his team at Cassio Pros for any work I need accomplished in the future. Thank you Pat & team for your OUTSTANDING work...you've renewed my faith in contractors! Sincerely, Ruth C

We needed major work done at our new house in Cranford. New kitchen, new master bathroom, install…read morenumerous recess lighting, removing old carpeting and refinishing hardwood floors underneath. Steve, the owner, was our project manager. At first, I was hesitant when I learned he sub-contracts most of the work. For our last house, we hired a contractor that did most of the work himself. We had issues back then with uneven tiles, cabinets not correctly aligned, bad grout work, leaky drains. Steve, on the other hand, brings in all professionals to do most the work. He manged the project and also did all the paperwork regarding permits. He has a portfolio of professional contractors that he brought in. Besides the typical plumber and electricians, there was a tile company, carpenter, sheetrock company, glass company, cabinet and trim company just to name a few. And most if not all of them are from neighboring towns like Westfield, Clark, Elizabeth, Union and Newark which helps with timing and staying on schedule. The work they perform were solid. No more leaky drains or uneven floors like our last house. We will not go back to a one person that does all-type of contractor from now on. It's much better working with specialist in their field. Regarding the kitchen reno, we had a wall removed between the kitchen and dining rooms. All new appliances, cabinets, countertops, new tiled flooring and backsplash, recess lighting, and added a 2nd mini kitchen sink. Also new under cabinet floor heating and a glass panel door leading to our basement that Steve recommended. For the master bath, we expanded the size of the corner shower by reducing the size of an adjoining closet, added new vanity, tiles, exhause fan and glass shower door. Steve is very detail orientated. He cares more about the final product rather than getting the job done quick and cheap. Our kitchen and master bath went from looking like 1970s to present day.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW IF YOU PLAN ON HIRING STEVEN AND CLEANEST PAINTING LLC…read more I own a 7 figure, 3 level home in Hoboken, NJ and I met with 3 people from Thumbtack for the job. Steven was priced in the middle and his job included Benjamin Moore Regal Select which is one of their highest quality paints. He described his company as a close-knit group of guys that have been working together for years and that they were a smaller, specialty painting crew that had experience working with high-end homes. Exactly what I was looking for. When I met Steven, I liked him right away. He is very friendly and personable. We walked around my home together and he pointed out all of the issues and what he would do to fix them. We were completely on the same page about everything. In addition, I really liked that he asked me if there were specific things that I wanted him to pay attention to. I told him: to remove all light switch covers to avoid the square brush strokes around the covers; to tape all molding so the transitions of paint would be clean and neat; and to make sure that everything was properly covered so that paint didn't splatter. He assured me everything would be taken care of and I felt like I was in great hands. The day the job was supposed to start, Steven asked me if he could use a different brand paint and do a color match to my actual Benjamin Moore paint because the cost of the paint in Hoboken was more expensive that he thought it would be. I said absolutely not because I wanted the paint to match. So, the job was delayed by a day so Steven could go buy the paint he promised me from a different store where it was cheaper. NOT A GOOD START. After two days of watching his guys paint without Steven being there, I asked him to come meet me at my house to talk about the work so far. I explained to him that the guys were doing the EXACT things I told him I didn't want. They didn't remove the light switch covers, they weren't using tape AT ALL to ensure clean paint lines, and their tarps and covers did not fully cover all of my floors so there was already paint splatter. I literally had to tell one guy to stop working until I spoke with Steven. This one guy was the worst. Steven came to talk to me and I told him that I didn't think his company was right for the job, I said would pay him his costs for the supplies and the guys working for two days and we could part ways. Steven begged me to allow him to finish the job and that he would make sure everything went perfect from that point on because having a satisfied customer was the most important part. I agreed. There were 3 guys there painting all day, and I told Steven I wanted a different guy to replace the one that wasn't doing a good job and I asked him what his name was. HE DIDN'T KNOW. He had to ask his head paint guy. Okay, so now this makes sense. Steven works with one main guy, and then this guy brings in his own guys to do the work. Not a close knit group, this job was literally outsourced to another guy who then brought in his own two guys that Steven had never worked with before and DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEIR NAMES! I was furious but I let him continue. Once the guys were done, we did a walk through and I pointed out all of the remaining issues. He offered to bring in his uncle who has been painting for 30 years to clean up all of the mistakes and to get this right. I said yes and he really was great. He cleaned up a lot of the mistakes and got things to a point where I was much happier, but I was still pissed that I was dealing with all of these issues in the first place. When the job was fully complete, I did my own walk through and that's when I saw all of the mistakes, ESPECIALLY all of the paint that splattered everywhere. On my floors, on my audio/video equipment tower, on my garage tile floor which cost me $7,000 and on my custom cabinetry which cost me $15,000. I showed Steven many pictures with the paint splattered everywhere including outside my house on the concrete house columns, small concrete driveway and the street and sidewalk. Steven offered to come to the house to clean up and I said absolutely not, that I didn't want him or anyone from his company setting foot in my house again. I spent $100 on cleaning products and spent the next week getting all the paint splatter out of the different areas in my house. My advice is to not hire Steven if you have a high-end job. I think Steven should focus his work on small projects like small apartments and condos and work with people that don't require the very best work. Unless his uncle is doing the painting, I would ask a lot of questions and would ask for a test day of his guys to actually watch them work before paying anything. It's just not worth the aggravation, headache, time, disappointment and frustration working with his company.

Liked that he took the initiative to reschedule instead of taking a chance. Showed up perfectly on time on Saturday, all supplies ready to go. Told us he thought the work would take 2-3 hours- he was done in about an hour! Did a great job and you can't even tell the difference between the existing door frame and the new piece. Left everything in great condition and requested a broom so he sweep up. We also have a kitchen cabinet that cracked- and wanted to show him.
