He went out of his way to explain issues and did not try to upsell. In fact, he noted when he thought improvements were not needed despite it costing him potential work/money. His prices are very reasonable and I ended up saving a lot of money compared with quotes from other contractors. I had him look at a number of issues and he patiently discussed them with me. He's so generous and helpful that I sometimes felt like I was taking advantage of him. I've only had him out twice so far but he seems to be someone of outstanding integrity and character.

His team has worked on projects ranging from minor upgrades to a house like light fixture replacement to complete kitchen renovation and powder room construction. At every step of the way, Ed worked with me within my price points and made sure that corners were never cut with finishing materials or project completion. The few times that I needed some adjustments and changes, his team was back immediately to make sure that I had exactly what I wanted. As someone who struggles with some decisions, Ed was patient and understanding while guiding me to what I was looking for. Even when Ed is not there, he has amazing supervisors on site and I have never had to question whether my house will be treated with respect and the care of Ed's own home. The house is actually even cleaner when the team leaves than when they arrive. I cannot recommend Kirbi Construction enough if you want something done correctly, especially if you want to add value to your home.

I have always done most of my own home maintenance -- even major stuff, but the years have added up…read moreand I needed to bring in a contractor for a master bath remodel, including installation of a new shower base, tilework, repair of rotten subfloor, and installation of a new tile floor. My house is old, dating back to the turn of the 20th century, and has all the problems and peculiarities associated with old houses. Hammertime did the work very professionally and competently. They were very careful to clean up at the end of every day, always came when they said they would, and were pleasant and informative throughout. The job was delivered as promised. When a minor leak caused by a bad solder joint in the shower diverter (performed by a subcontractor) caused damage to the plaster ceiling of the room below, Matt Hammer, owner of Hammertime, immediately took ownership of the problem, and brought in a plaster crew to make the repair, which they also did in a first class manner. I recommend Hammertime without reservation.

Stretch Construction completely redid our kitchen--helping us turn a 1960s nightmare into a…read moregorgeous homeowner's dream. It was not a small job! We had the original, outdated cabinets, appliances, flooring, and windows to deal with. Justin did an incredible job with the demo first (getting everything out with no damage to the house; cleaning up along the way; getting the dumpster delivered and then removed.) Every time I came home, I was delighted to see that the space was swept and safe for my daughter and our dog to walk through. After the demo, Justin quickly moved into flooring, plumbing, and cabinet installation. Every single construction job requires pivots. The key is how your contractor handles unforeseen changes WHEN they come up (because they do.) When our cabinets were delivered with 6" of additional width (our outside cabinet partner's fault!) Justin quickly helped pivot and reflow the layout to fit the space. What would have set us back three weeks was reconfigured and fixed within three hours. The final product is absolutely GORGEOUS. Everyone who visits asks who did the work. It is a joy to recommend someone as detail-oriented, kind, and talented as Justin. We will be working with him on any future projects and cannot recommend him enough.

He redid our kitchen - floor tiles, new cabinetry, backsplash. For the floor he took out the (huge) fridge, oven, dishwasher and the cabinets to tile properly to the wall underneath them. We got our countertops from Ikea and he was flexible fitting in around their schedule. And for the backsplash he did a really great job: Everything aligned correctly even though we picked mini subway tiles which were really awkward to cut (see photos). He also went to the warehouse without complaint when it turned out I hadn't bought enough tiles. Oops. Really nice guy, will definitely ask him again if the need arises.

He corrected a botched job (done by another untrustworthy contractor) and did so with such finesse that you'd never even notice where he made his repairs. He was communicative, even taking the time to explain to us what was wrong and what needed to be done to make the appropriate repairs. He was prompt, diligent, and a hard worker. He completed our job in a timely fashion and arrived whenever he said he would. His prices were competitive and reasonable. Overall, we had such a great experience with Steve at Elite, we cannot recommend them enough. If you're looking for a good contractor, you've found it here. Thanks so much, Steve!

Steve coated and repaired my roof in Aug 2017 and approximately 1 month later I found water in my basement. After I did an exhausting search for the source of the leak and Steve coming to assess his work (which was still in excellent condition), through our discussion he suggested other potential causes and how to investigate them. Ultimately, I found that the source of my basement water was a leaky toilet next door. His suggestions and guidance really made the difference! Overall, his professionalism, timeliness in responding to emails, ease of payment, pricing, and of course his work are all top notch. I especially appreciate how he walked me through the process of getting my roof done (as a physician, I knew little about) and supplemented with before/after photos. Highly recommend!

In my email to them I listed the size of our room and what we were hoping to get a quote on (finishing the ceiling, ideally with beadboard, painting the room and installing a thin crown molding). Vick B's emailed me back and wrote - "I can give you an estimate if you send me some pictures of the room!!" Meh- really? So I now have to go take pics of the room, hoping that I capture what it is you feel you need to see to give an accurate quote? AND what if when you arrive to do the job (assuming you got it), you decide that it might cost more to finish because after all you only looked at pictures?? Didn't get a good feeling from this. Totally felt blown off. Am looking elsewhere.

After calling a few other contractors, Casile Novelli was the most responsive and helpful. I dealt with Dominic - who gave me a fair estimate and did a really nice job on the repair. He was really good and about communicating the times he would show up for both the estimate and the repair. He always showed up in a mask. The repair required taking apart the shelving in the closet and putting them back in place, painting, and using a repair compound for the walls. They did a really nice job and I'm really happy with it. If I had any issues in the house in the future, I'd definitely reach out to them again.
