  CCS - Custom Building & Remodeling

  Estimates given were timely, detailed and accurate. They gave us a breakdown for each potential improvement and several options so that we could figure out which parts of our renovation we could afford. The work was good, and the people working for them were friendly and courteous. They were not the lowest estimate given, but they were not the highest either. They were well worth it; I would work with them again without question.

  EHREDT CONSTRUCTION

  I really wanted to use Gene for my deck project based on many positive things I had heard about him.  Initially he responded quickly and came to give us a quote. He had very creative ideas and suggestions, presented himself very professionally and we really liked him.  He was a bit slow to get back to me with the quote and then again to requote when I picked a specific material.  The pricing I thought was extremely competitive and was not an issue.  We were given a timeline of when our project could be fit into the schedule.  I have no idea what happened.  I never heard from him again.  I finally left a message that we were canceling our project. I was so disappointed.  Maybe I jumped the gun.  I am very confident he would have done an excellent job had it ever actually got off the ground.  But it is a sticking point with me to just leave someone hanging.

  RISPOLI'S CONSTRUCTION

  Two years after installation I noticed the roof was leaking in several places.    Rispoli ignored my plea for help until my attorney contacted him.    Rispoli attempted to repair the leaks but after each rain fall, I noticed it still leaking.  After three months of leaking and futile attempts to repair it with several applications of calking and sealant,  I contacted a different roofer for advice.  The new roofer inspected and found many deficiencies witch he photographed and described on his letterhead.  I made all this information available to the Attorney Generals Office  witch was a waste of time since that office is unable to do anything.  I contacted my attorney and put a law suit against  Rispoli Construction.  A letter from Rispoli's attorney  informed me that Rispoli Construction had filed for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy a full 18 months before he contracted to install my roof and therefor I was not able to pursue legal action against him.    I chose Rispoli Construction to install my roof because his newspaper add said that he was licensed and insured .   I guess a contractors license from the state is as worthless as the Attorney Generals Office.

  Mihalko���s General Contracting

  mihalkos sub contracts all work to local contractors some of the guys did a excellent job while others did such a bad job I will have to redo some of the work because some things weren't done right.

  an example is the siding they hung is not level and corners don't line up makes the house look like my 12 year old hung it.

  
  

  the best thing about mihalkos is I don't have to deal with them again

  RISPOLI'S CONSTRUCTION

  Still fighting with with him to fix the cement after a year avoiding all calls will send his son to do his dirty work and is avoiding us as far as even hiding behind stores that we are in till we leave. Never ever hire him to do anything this could all be resolved if he fixes the problems but I still would not recommend him to even build a dog house . Poor dog

  BREINICH CONSTRUCTION

  for the most part good,  we are not happy with some of the finishing work.  there was a spot on the guest bathroom floor.  i asked if it was that purple stuff they use for plumbing to put pipes together.  He said no he doesn't use that.  but when we looked under the sink, there it was.  he does use it.  cannot get that stain off the floor.  another thing both bathroom floors upstairs have gaps in the tiles on the floor.  i showed him.  he didn't know what to say and didn't offer to fix.   a lot of small items my husband was not happy with.

  EHREDT CONSTRUCTION

  We got 3 bids for this addition and Gene was the most affordable and friendliest of the contractors. We were adamant about finishing by a certain deadline and he was very aggressive in accomplishing this completion date despite the unfortunate weather at times. It was February and I remember seeing his crew shivering on the roof trying to get the job done even in the freezing cold. He helped us with the design and layout of the rooms and made some amazing suggestions that I would have never thought of (Ex. Combining the laundry with our master walk-in closet, genius). He was patient with me as I was picky in some areas like the bathroom having a separate shower from a soaking tub in the limited space. Every single member of the crew was incredibly friendly from the plumbers to the electricians to the painters. Gene was also wonderful in taking on additional work that would arise outside of the original budgeted plan and was very reasonable with pricing (new siding on the original house, adding a new sink in an existing half bathroom, flooring in kitchen, etc). He took the time to add special touches like storage cabinets in the laundry area and high end bathroom accessories without even mentioning it was included. We couldn't have been happier with the results and I would recommend him and his crew to absolutely anyone!

  DAWSON & WOLFE CONSTRUCTION

  Jeff originally set a date to do our job,but he ended up ringing and saying they could do the job early which worked for us. Job was replacing 2 existing windows in the front of our house and also cutting through the wall and installing a brand new window. They also sided the bottom front section of the house with vertical siding. Jeff and his staff turned up on time, were very professional and the job was done to a very high level and looks fantastic. We were impressed with care they took with the work they carried out and are very happy with the outcome. We thought the price was very fair for the amount of work that was done.
