After numerous conversations, over about 8 weeks, I couldn't get a commitment from Steve. Every time I was told they would try for something, they failed. Steve will promise to be there, get you a date, try to get to you, etc, and then just nothing. If the owner conducts business like this, I can only imagine how his crew would behave. I ended up finding a quality contractor (ZF Outdoors) that was able to bail me out, after the delays Steve caused, and still have it done by the deadline. IF YOU WANT YOUR JOB DONE ON TIME CALL SOMEONE ELSE! I'm glad I did! UDATE: Regarding Steve's comments about a deposit. To give a contractor 50% before they even start is crazy, because of situations like this with contractors disappearing and/or failing. Steve and I spoke and settled on 4 payments of 25%, the first of which was due when he showed up and started working. You can believe what you want but BUYER BEWARE!!

We had our old driveway removed, trees taken out, drainage pipes had to installed and a large retaining wall built, the new driveway was re--sloped and we added berms along the sides for better landscaping. It was a lot more of work. Every day his team showed up early, worked long hours, were always helpful in answering questions, and even took the time to re-seed the area by the retaining wall and move large boulders for me to use in other garden beds, just because they could. It was great to have one, reliable and communicative person handle every single aspect of the project. We're hiring them again to do two house extension projects this year. I chose Soper Construction based on their longstanding reputation in our area. We're looking forward to working with Soper for many more projects we are lining up!

His crew worked diligently to install the tank and cleaned everything up with great care when they were done. They did an outstanding job and highly recommend them.

After speaking with a number of contractors, we eventually settled on giving the project to Brolly Construction. We were so glad that we did! James came in with a budget and explained everything that would be done, and how long each step of the process would take. They kept to the budget and even finished a little ahead of schedule. We were actually able to rent out our first floor apartment a month earlier than we expected! James and his crew were always very approachable and open to any and all ideas we had. Some of our neighbors have had them do work on their own properties as a result of the great job they did with our house. We would highly recommend Brolly Construction to anybody who is looking.

Santino and his crew came up with a fair price and worked diligently to make the project perfect…read more One small glitch was an order of an under deck ceiling in wrong color. Some of this was my fault for upgrading to a more resilient material, perhaps late in the game. But Santino assured me he would paint it and did not fully charge me. He went to great pains to assure the water discharge did not just empty onto lawn and that was more work than most contractors would have gone through because of time and labor. I know this because other bids that came in only planned to empty water in garden, near foundation. Frankly, I wish I could have paid Santino more but perhaps I can make it up to him with more work. My suggestion to homeowners & this applies using ANY contractor is to check in at stages, armed with some knowledge . It requires effort but you'll get what you want.

He installed deck railings that are missing screws, brackets installed upside down, tilting posts, causing the railings unsafe. The stairs are installed incorrectly with treads too short, risers not fastened to stairs. Fascia around deck and stairs are incorrectly installed also. No cuttings are straight or approximated.The deck flooring is missing spacers. He also poured a cement edge around the deck that is cracking, not straight and overall a terrible job. Addendum: Mr. Green has added a comment but not totally truthful. He did offer to "fix" items. However, as one can see from the pictures, it was never done correctly in the first place. He did not know what he and his crew were doing. PICTURES TELL IT ALL! He has been reported to RI Contractors Board as he was doing the work with a lapsed license. I proposed a settlement and he declined. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.

My husband and I were looking to take out a load bearing wall in our home and when the initial…read morecontractor felt it was beyond his scope, he recommended John. John and his assistant John came over to take a look at our house and to review the engineered plans. John provided us with a fair estimate and proof of insurance. We felt confident that John could do the job. On the very first day of John and John beginning the project, they discovered ducts in the walls which were not shown in the engineered plans. They immediately stopped working and told us to review our options and make a decision that we were comfortable with. They were extremely patient and never pressured us to continue the project. Several weeks later after we had the hvac ducts removed, the project resumed. They moved with great speed through the project. Our house was cleaned up when they left each day. They could not have been more pleasant, and the communication was outstanding. Factors outside of John's control (hvac issues from an hvac company we hired) complicated the project, but John never seemed frustrated when the project was delayed. John took what had become a very stressful situation and eased our worries. He advocated for us every step of the way and went above and beyond any of our expectations. The project was finished in a timely manner, and the work was beautifully done. I can honestly say John is the most honest contractor I have ever met. We are so appreciative to have found him, will be repeat customers, and would recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and fair contractor.

We hired John to replace just about all of the windows (13) in our 1897 Victorian home. John came highly recommended, and we couldn't have been happier with his work. John was the kindest, most honest, and highly-skilled contractor I've ever worked with. He gave us a very reasonable quote for the window work, and did a great job setting expectations on how long the work would take and what it would entail. John and his team then installed the windows expertly, in the estimated time frame, and on budget. John and his team were also extremely courteous while working in our home during COVID, and went above and beyond cleaning up after themselves and taking away all the garbage. When they left, we simply got to enjoy having windows that kept our home warm . John will definitely be the first person I contact for any work associated with our home for many years to come.
