The mahogany storm and screen door I ordered was built to a high standard and met specifications…read more However, communications with the owner around (a) delivery and (b) a defect in the glass storm insert left something to be desired. The delivery, which obviously required someone to be home, was two hours late with no notification from the company. The storm glass insert was not true to spec because the gap between it and the enclosing molding was not uniform. Why wasn't this checked at the shop beforehand? Unlike the delivery man, who made every effort to accommodate me, the owner was unapologetic about the lack of communication for the delay. More importantly, he would only consider fixing the problem if the door and the glass and screen inserts were returned to the shop, in which case it would be my responsibility to retrieve them. He wouldn't pay for a second delivery. He would rather cancel the deal and eat the cost of the goods. Having to pick up the door myself was a non-starter. I don't have a suitable vehicle, which is why I paid for delivery in the first place. The only other option he offered was to have the door and inserts returned to the shop and refund my money in full. Then I would have had to start my search over again and suffer a lead time of 6 to 8 weeks or more, so my front entry wouldn't be well prepared for the onset of cold weather. It fell to me to be the creative and save the deal by suggesting he give me a discount in return for which I would live with the defect. It seemed like he would rather have lost the sale than compromise. We came to terms, but the whole process was unnecessarily stressful.

RJS Home Solutions did work at our house in Tabernacle and I recommend him. He was easy to reach on…read morethe phone, came out to look at the job without a runaround, and showed up ready to work. He takes the work personally and that mattered to us. Pricing was clear on the estimate, and when we added scope he handled it as a written change order instead of a handshake guess.

Rick, It is not accurate to characterize me as someone who…read more"complains about everyone." The concerns I've raised are specific and documented. Regarding the floorboards: two representatives from Avalon Flooring have inspected the work and documented that sections were not properly nailed into the studs. They also documented the condition of the installation. While the carpet installers did open the corners, Avalon has stated that this occurred due to faulty installation. They kindly caulked areas that were never caulked during your install. You were paid to install and caulk the floorboards and complete the job. The work was never finished. Nail holes were not filled or sanded as discussed. Caulking was incomplete. Portions of trim were never installed. Despite this, you were paid in full in cash before completion because I trusted the work would be finalized. Additionally: Sealing paint was applied to walls. Wet spackle was painted over. Spackle was dropped on brand-new carpet. Scheduled dates and times were repeatedly changed. The electrician you recommended completed work without pulling required permits. These are factual concerns supported by photos and text messages. This is not about complaining. It is about incomplete and substandard work that required additional time and expense for me to address. This is only part of the lazy way Rick works. Spray painting in my home. Sloppy work done and took 6 weeks because of changing dates and times. Sweating at the Avalon employee was over the top. The level of unprofessionalism is astounding. He only ever refutes the boards. Not anything else. Point is, Rick took my money and didnt finish the job!!!!!!!

We had an emergency leak at our house. We used Yelp to find a highly rated contractor to perform…read morethe repairs. Var was rated 3.5 stars and the reviews were decent.

My house in Fishtown was in desperate need of some repairs, including a slow sink drain, a leak in…read moreour roof and some plaster repair work in our front room (which was HORRIBLE). Vince from Var came in and gave me an estimate and lickety-split they were making an appointment to fix my poor house's problems! Leaky roof is no longer leaking and my kitchen sink drains like a dream. They did a fantastic job on the plaster repair, which included putting up drywall and chairrailing and wainscoting (at least I think that is what it's called. . it's the square boxes made with thin wood pieces). Whatever it is called it looks awesome. The workers involved me in all decisions regarding the details so the final outcome would be exactly what I wanted. My only regret is that I decided to do the painting myself. For the time I spent on painting, I should have just had Var Construction do it for me (silly girl). They were prompt, NEAT, and very nice. I have a little one at home too and they did their best to keep the noise level down. FYI - I just got a flyer that they are now located at 3396 Miller Street (19125)

I informed him that the weather report for the next three days was rain hoping I would get a better response then wake up at 6:45am every day to wait and see if the weather cooperates. Responded by telling me he "doesn't need to fucking hear that because he needs to get this job done." I don't respond to this message and the next day when he's suppose to show up to the property, he's texting me that he's going to be an hour late because the other truck is in traffic, then texts again that his guys must be pranking him. Does not come to the door to introduce himself at 7am, instead he starts yelling "hello" from across my lawn because he spotted an open window. I went outside to tell him my child was sleeping and to please not yell across the property while working. Only for him to tell his boss and my landlord that him and his worker were being yelled at the entire time they were working. Happy to share the Ring camera footage of my reasonable request to be considerate of my small child sleeping. Chris leaves without saying anything to me and I come out to my yard to see that he did not "trim a few branches" be butchered half my tree down to the trunk and then discarded the entire tree on the back side of my house so it would take longer for me to notice and complain. Well I noticed and I'll be making sure the rest of South Jersey knows to steer clear of this company.

The estimate included removing the flooring, installing new flooring, paint, brick work, etc. Months went by before we heard from them!

Volpe sent us a note saying his schedule was to busy and they could not start our job. That was on 3/12/2024, 16 months after sending the estimate! I try to be understanding, things don't always go as planned and there are many factors that contribute to a successful outcome but 16 months with hardly any communication is poor business practice.
