He…read moreresponded to our inquiry quickly, got back to me right away when I had questions, and was able to complete the job more quickly than we expected. We had them replace the ripped porch screens, power wash railings, roof, and the entire exterior of the house, as well as clean the gutters. They also replaced our old lousy gutter guards. Rudy did several walk arounds with me during the project to show me the progress and point out areas of concern, such as places where there were gaps in the existing deck trim that had caused water damage under the fascia. They were able to replace all of the rotting boards and added new trim to cover the gaps, which we hadn't planned on, but it made the deck much more sound and looks great, even better than before! He also pointed out that a number of our other old window screens around the house were frayed or torn, and offered to replace them while they were there, at a very fair price. The entire deck/porch looks new again. His team took care to carefully clean up the work site before they left. This is a family business, and they were consistently kind and very responsive. We will definitely use them again for future projects.

***AVOID THIS COMPANY!!***…read more I hired George as a contractor for a home renovation involving multiple tiling projects, and while the work eventually got done, the overall experience was frustrating, unprofessional, and very disappointing. There were multiple delays which lasted weeks with shifting deadlines that were promised and then repeatedly missed. Communication was poor, and instead of taking accountability for clear project management failures, George consistently deflected blame onto me as the customer. He even accused me of going behind his back when I simply responded to his subcontractor's phone call--after he himself had been unresponsive and told me to reach out to them. When I raised concerns and tried to resolve things respectfully, George responded with personal insults, manipulative language, and completely contradictory statements. What he said over the phone rarely matched what he put in writing. Fortunately, I've kept a full written record of everything and it shows how poorly this job was handled. If any future clients have questions about my experience, I'd be happy to share documentation privately. It became clear throughout the process that George only cared about getting paid, not about the quality of the experience, the delays, or how he mistreated his clients. Once payment became the topic, all professionalism went out the window. I wouldn't be surprised if George tries to respond to this honest review with more deflection or spin, that's been my experience throughout. George is not only unprofessional, he's untrustworthy and manipulative. I highly recommend you look elsewhere. **EDIT:** See what I mean? This response is exactly why I left the review in the first place. Instead of handling things professionally, George resorts to name-calling, twisting the story, and acting like the victim. I never went behind his back, he told me to speak to the subcontractor, and I picked up the phone when that person called me. That's not "cutting him out," that's literally following his direction. Let's get the facts straight: 1. I happened to be in my own home when George's plumber arrived. His plumber is the one who failed to coordinate with George, not me. As my texts show, I communicated clearly and in good faith with George throughout the process. 2. It's standard practice to replace plumbing fixtures, like the shower head and valves, when retiling a shower. This isn't a "change order," it's just part of doing the job right. I don't know anyone who remodels a shower and leaves old fixtures in place. 3. George's subcontractor's delay doesn't make sense. The shower head is typically one of the last things to be installed. There was no valid reason why tile work couldn't continue while waiting for the plumber to finish. I paid what I owed, communicated clearly, and dealt with missed deadline after missed deadline. Everything is in writing. The fact that he calls me "ungrateful" and a "nightmare" for holding him accountable just proves my point. If this is how he handles criticism, imagine how he handles your project!! Look elsewhere!!

There were tracks for the lights, a 16' LED light street, a transformer and a dimmer. When the electrician installed it, it shorted out. As it turns out, the lights needed a 96 watt transformer and they sold me a 60 watt transformer. It ended up burning out the dimmer. They tried to make me buy a new dimmer as well as an up graded transformer. After back and forth, they charged me for the upgraded transformer. They should have given me everything for free as well as compensate me for an extra 2 hours of labor for the electrician.

I hired CSP Construction (Craig Pelligrini) to repair a sagging gutter on my front porch so that…read morewater wouldn't cascade over the edge when it rained. Craig worked on the gutter 5/15/19. He removed the mesh covers (which kept out a lot of debris but not the smallest) and put in a new strap in an attempt to raise the sagging portion of the gutter. The first significant rain came 5 days later and water cascaded over the edge. I learned from This Old House that the way to correct a sagging gutter is to detach it, adjust the pitch, then reattach it. I called Craig and asked if he would return and find a solution to the problem. He came on 6/8/19 and told me it was my fault that the gutter was overflowing because he found maple tree spinners in the gutter. The gutter was perfectly clean on 5/15 and the gutter overflowed on 5/20. Maybe Craig thinks homeowners should clean their gutters every day. He'd rather offer a dumb reason like that than admit he did a lousy job. I'm out $200 and my gutter is in worse shape than before Craig's "repair." Before he touched it, I at least had a metal mesh cover that kept most of the debris out.
