Mike, owner of CHI Construction, gave me a quote for our small bathroom that was reasonable and…read moreincluded everything that would be anticipated; electrical installations, plumbing, insulating, installing new radiator covers, painting and trim. The estimate, while not cheap, was still reasonable considering that all the extras mentioned above were included and did not have to be "tacked on" to the original estimate. As another reviewer mention , we asked Mike to add another accent strip of tile as a bullnose and he was very accommodating and did not charge extra. Another plus was the timelines and neatness of Mike's work. He started when he said he would and worked everyday until 4, except the weekend, until the job was done. He was careful to cover the floors and clean up after each day. I am not an expert when it comes to bathroom renovations but I do have some construction knowledge and it appears that Mike Kraemer is a skilled contractor with a broad knowledge base who does not cut corners.

He was awesome to work with -…read morealways smart about decisions we wanted his opinion on and practical about where to invest resources. He finishes his work on time, with lots of communication and no loose ends or issues. He's also a really nice dude, which makes what could be a stressful project smooth and easy.

He was efficient and thorough, and completed all of the steps of the process well within the time frame we expected. We were very happy with the quality of work performed and would gladly hire Mark again for our next home project.

The BBQ business has a lot of traffic with a parking lot that has cars parking along the property line facing our home. At all hours we'd have diners looking on to our property and even shouting out personal questions to us as we attempted to enjoy our big backyard. After over 3 years of this and zero cooperation by the BBQ business we saved and saved until we had the cash to have a barrier built. Yesterday, SJB and it's owner, Steve installed a beautiful fence at a price we could afford! It is over 70' long and on the side of a small hill. Not an easy job. After just 6 hours, our new fence was up and far exceeded our hopeful expectations! Working with Steve and his crew was a pleasure! Promises made and promises kept! I highly recommend you consider this company if you live in the tri state area. NY, NJ or CT. From a scale of 1-10? These guys get a 20!

The service team arrived on time, they were professional, and they explained the findings and what was needed to get the job done.

James Whelan of Clare Home Improvement is a true godsend…read more As a first time homeowner, I called about a dozen or so local and nearby contractors for an estimate to jack up the front porch and replace the footings. It became one big headache after another. Contractors were either charging an arm and a leg or alternatively wouldn't take on the "difficult" job. Most made me feel like they were taking advantage with the price. I called James Whelan one afternoon and he was able to meet at my house that evening even though it was a 45 minute drive from where he lives. He was friendly, knowledgeable and able to communicate the scope of the job in a way that wasn't condescending or curt. Although he humorously described the toughness of the job as "not HGTV," he put me at ease with his personality and openness. Although a family emergency postponed the start date, once the work began - it barely took him and his crew a week to complete. He is such a hard worker. Even the neighbors were impressed! At our first meeting, I had a gut feeling about Mr. Whelan and immediately trusted his craftsmanship and years of experience. I really look forward to using James and only him on more upcoming projects.

We did two projects, one an interior repair, second an exterior project…read more First one went well so we figure, no brainer who we'd use. You can't let this contractor do his own thing. You need to watch his workers so they dont cut corners that are expensive later to fix. You need to get the agreement in writing, otherwise promised work will be forgotten and you will have no recourse a year later when the cut corners finally reveal themselves. No matter how much they come with a sob story, stick to half on deposit and not another cent until the project is complete and a punch list is done. This is a business transaction and his employees financial woes are not your problem. I should have trusted my gut when the siding guy was working alone and using nails, now Im having someone come by to quote how much its going to cost to tear down everything and redo it. Appears they have the skill to do great small interior projects, but cant manage employees to do anything larger. But the one big thing, get a written contract or plan on paying someone else to fix problems later.
