This review is long overdue for work we had done in October. We needed a contractor to turn a large…read morebedroom into 2 smaller bedrooms for our kids. We needed framing, sheetrock, electrical, trim and closets built. Joe was way more responsive than all other contractors and was very reasonable with costs. The price was exactly what he quoted us. (Another contractor was supposed to start before we found Joe and completely ghosted us around the start date.) Lou was the main guy who was here several days and he was great. We felt totally comfortable with him in our home. Our 4 year old son kept asking where Lou was after the project was completed. Lou worked around us when it came to hours that worked best for our family. Our kids love their bedrooms. And our 4 year old son finally sleeps in his own bed. We will be calling Joe when we are ready to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms.

DISASTER. Turn and run. We hired Joe for a large 203K project. We had problems from the very…read morebeginning: he was slow to start, kept changing his mind about the game plan, complained about the fact that he could get no money up front--terms of the 203K that he had of course agreed to--and pressured us to give him significant up-front money to "help him start". He instructed me in June of 2024 to rush to buy materials for a small bathroom that was still mostly unfinished in April of 2025; that kind of thing happened multiple times. His workers were inadequately supervised, and he was difficult to reach, often saying things like I'm at a kid's soccer game, out to dinner with my daughter, etc. The way that 203K's work is that HUD inspectors come out at regular intervals to make sure that adequate work has been done to make a draw from the total budget. Joe did a bunch of stuff merely to look busy to justify the first draw, in August: a slap-dash exterior paint job over crumbling paint that made a mess and did not hold, for instance. Between the first and the second draw, there was slow but meaningful progress--but by then we were 5 months into a job that we were told would take 4-6 months, and nowhere near done. During much of that 3-month interval he had just one guy working on our huge project, an electrician. After the second draw, in late November, he basically just stopped working on the house. We were making double housing payments the whole time, of course, so we panicked. We were almost out of money. After numerous calls and messages failed to get him to pick up the pace, at the urging of our lender, we scheduled a third draw, 3 months after the second one. At that draw, the HUD inspector certified that no work had been done, so no funds would be paid out. That's when we finally worked up the nerve to fire him. It was terrifying, because our lender told us that we would have trouble getting anyone to take on such a large project with only what was left in the budget after Joe depleted it. By the grace of God, we did find one. He swept in and got the job done in about 4 months. We finally moved in almost exactly one year after closing. Of course we had two mortgage payments the whole time. The work could have been finished within 6 months, or close to it, if we had found a great contractor like the one we found after we fired Mr. Depiano. Working with Mr. Depiano was harrowing. We were newbs at this, and therefore easy to fool. DON'T MAKE OUR MISTAKE.

DO NOT USE!! We hired Dolan Contracting to finish our basement based on a recommendation from a…read moreneighbor (who is now trying to to get money back from him, too). Bob Dolan has simply stolen our money. He doesn't return texts or phone calls. We have tried to be patient, thinking maybe he is having personal problems or is just busy but now will have to pursue legal remedies to recover our money. He lied to us about getting permits (we paid for them, he never got them), put in some basic framing (without any moisture barrier- so it will have to be redone) and then simply stopped showing up. We have to start over.

WORST CONTRACTOR IN MEDIA. **DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU WANT TO NEEDLESSLY THROW MONEY AWAY**…read more Hired to work on house, paid tens of thousands of dollars, and 9 (yes, NINE) months later, still NOTHING has been finished. We now have more damage to the entire front of the house compared to before we hired Bob Dolan Contractors. The company has not responded to any of the (numerous) phone calls, emails, texts. Thought to stop by the office, but turns out it looks like it's a residential place and not an actual office where one can walk in (eg: to even attempt to speak with a front desk receptionist). They are extremely unprofessional. Similar to the other review, am now looking into pursuing legal action.

Unprofessional, Unlicensed, Stolen Funds, Terrible Work Quality, Nightmare Contractor…read more Everything seemed promising, we were excited to hire John T of Jet Construction and Remodeling. After one day of drywalling our basement, we had to fire him. His work quality was awful and he brought an inexperienced worker to "train" with our time, money, and quality of our soon to be finished basement. The majority of his cuts of the sheet rock were jagged and left wide gaps between seems. 3 out of 4 lights were cut so bad that the finished hi hat cover couldn't cover the cut hole. 2 of our outlet boxes were cut so poorly there would be no way to fix it unless replaced. After using 20 sheets of our sheet rock nearly half of it would need replacing. It only got worse from there. Having paid John the half deposit he refuses to refund us for the work quality he did and blames us for not giving him a second chance. If you look at the photos I don't think we're being unfair here. After avoiding us for over a week John eventually responded to our requests and then stated in order to terminate our contract we would need to pay him and his worker an additional days pay for "disrupted work". John has no legal written detail in his "contract" that states him legally being able to even withhold the remainder of our deposit nor having to pay any sort of termination fee. After this nightmare occurred we did what we should have down and looked into John and JET Construction and Remodeling and found out he still has an open dispute on the Better Business Bureau for a similar incident. We have filed our complaint to the BBB as well and are awaiting a response from John. We also checked into his License number PA-HIC 133710 and found out his license expired back in July 2019. So in the end of what was supposed to be a promising project John T of JET Construction and Remodeling did a terrible job the first day into his job, refused to take responsibility for his quality and worker, stole the remainder of our money, and then demanded more to reconcile the situation. Do not hire this contractor.
