I was about to give up when Eric suggested he add molding at the top to match our window sills to make up the extra 3 inch difference. I was worried how it would look so we only ordered a few shutters in the beginning. After he did the first window you couldn't even tell where the shutter ended and the molding started; it matched perfectly! I ordered shutters then for the rest of the house and Eric installed them in every room. He was efficient, professional, and an expert at his job. I would highly recommend him for any carpentry job you might have. DMO

They don't fool around, so you won't get any of that obnoxious run-around you may find from other contract workers who wriggle around on a quote or don't show up on time. I had a serious electrical issue in my three story home and AJ's was able to have it done in record time at an insanely reasonable rate, all with politeness, punctuality and a smile. You seriously cannot ask for better in this part of the PA/DE/NJ area. And just to be clear, I do not know him or anyone at his business personally. This is an earnest and honest review of a totally professional exchange. HIRE THESE GUYS FOR YOUR JOB! You won't regret it.

We chose Pine Street for a full house remodel (replacing electric, plumbing, major structural…read morerevisions) of an historical home in the West Chester borough. Our primary objective was the highest quality work that would preserve the historical aspect of the home, but fully modernized and at the lowest reasonable cost. Nearly three years since we engaged them and we continue to feel like that was the best decision we could have possibly made. The essential things that made this experience wonderful for us, particularly as first-time home renovators, were the detailed planning and rigorous project management, the quality of craftsmanship and expert network, and the incredibly warm professionalism and care of the team. In sum, they delivered below our initial cost projections and ahead of time -- nearly the opposite of all the horror stories we've heard about some of the other crews. In the beginning, it was a very difficult decision to choose Pine Street. Their cost projections were higher than their competitors by A LOT. I nearly dismissed them because of it. But the level of detail and thoughtfulness in the bid really won me over. When I questioned competitors about some of the detail included in the PS bid, they would always respond that if that happened, they would need to increase costs, etc. It really made me worry about what final costs would eventually be and I ultimately chose PS for their transparency and integrity. Perhaps the best element of the entire project was the onsite project manager. This is a person who will be your main point of contact throughout, who will have all of the answers and will ultimately know your home better than you do. This is an enormous gift and a real relief in what would otherwise be a stressful time. Ours would call us proactively, make great suggestions and recommendations (things that you just don't know as you begin, but that are revealed as you get started). For example, he had a piece of reclaimed barn wood in his garage that he used as an accent piece in a stairwell or, in another case, was able to use parts of the existing rafters as trim in the bedroom. These little things feel brilliant when you're trying to preserve the feel of the home and keep costs low -- and these are simply things we never could have anticipated in the planning stage. This role in your remodel can really magnify the experience as a client. Another aspect to consider is that Pine Street has cultivated a network of people they trust over years of experience and working together. Every single person who came through our house was knowledgeable, respectful and responsive. The team would not have allowed it to be any other way. Further, at the end of the project, they gave us a portfolio of contact information for each person that had worked on the house, so if anything goes wrong or we need some additional work, we have a network of folks that know the house and that we know we can trust (and who, by the way, will be very quick to respond out of respect for their relationship with Pine Street). Finally, the part that is hardest to articulate, is the warm professionalism that the team brings. You'll feel it first with Brendon when you call with your first inquiry, but you'll leave feeling nearly astonished that the entire team carries it forward: problems will be addressed and solved before you even hear about them; the site will be clean at the end of every day without fail; the team will stop what they're doing when you enter to make sure you can see and understand the steps that are being taken (and they never got impatient with our very frequent visits). Again, all things we didn't know before we started but ended up defining the quality of our experience. It is an important decision to choose the right partner in these efforts. I can get easily stressed out by the volume of decisions that need to be made and was vigilant about costs and timing. The Pine Street team exceeded most of our expectations and left us knowing we made absolutely the right decision.

All in all, a great experience. This was our first renovation and it was as painless as you can get.

As a new first-time home owner, I was dealing with a leaking window. At the time, I had very little knowledge of home repairs, so I reached out to Boates Brothers, and they sent someone out to take a look at the window. The gentleman suggested that I caulk the window myself so that I could save money. I really appreciated the honesty and tips. I caulked the window as suggested, but it kept leaking. I reached back out to Boates Brothers, and they again sent someone out. As they looked over the window, I was told they wouldn't be able to identify the cause of the leak until after they ripped off all of the siding. The gentleman asked if I wanted him to replace the windows while the siding was off, since that would be the best time to do it. I declined because the windows were nearly brand new, and again, I had no knowledge about home repairs. At no point was any testing ever done to identify the source of the leak. I'm not sure why the gentleman couldn't use a hose to help locate the leak. Regardless, I went ahead with the recommended repair. After spending over 3 thousand dollars, I was told they found the source of the leak, and one of the contractors gave me his "stamp of approval" and assured me it would never leak again. I was very happy with the work until the next rain storm, and saw that the window was still leaking. I reached back out to Boates Brothers, and their response insinuated that it was my fault for declining to have the windows replaced. I am not a contractor, nor do I have the knowledge of the repairs. Never once did they say that the window was the cause of the leak. In fact, they told me the opposite. I hired them to find the source of the leak; it was not my responsibility to do so. Instead of offering to fix their work, they wanted to charge me an additional $2,500 to do the project all over again. I feel that they saw a young couple who were first-time homeowners and decided to take advantage of me. I strongly suggest avoiding this company at all costs
