"The project was estimated to take 8 to 10 weeks and was done in 9. We were very pleased with the quality of the work. From patching and repairing wood floors to installing new kitchen cabinets. Jack, the owner, was very easy to deal with and I would highly recommend them for a project. The project was large and the extras were less than 5% which I felt was well within reason. As the name implies everyone who worked in the house was an employee of his company. No subcontractors."

"Very prompt, professional & reliable. Offered honest advice about best solution for our subfloor project. Was able to fit us in under a tight deadline. Excellent communication, fair pricing. Will definitely recommend to friends & use for future projects."

"Chester and the crew at Above & Beyond Construction are great! They completed our home addition and we look forward to working with them again on any future construction or home projects. Project - home addition above existing garage (bedroom and full bath) Budget - the stated budget was the final cost. Any additional costs associated with the project were well communicated (before the work was done) so we were not shocked or surprised. Craftsmanship/Work - the crews arrived on time and ready to work. They showed great respect to our house and neighbors. If they saw something that they were concerned about, it was addressed and discussed. The go out of their way to do it right, the first time. Chester was also able to find subcontractors that performed quality work that were budget friendly and timely (for example, we didn't have to wait days/weeks for an electrician/plumber to show up). We felt like we were their top priority even though they had other projects they were working on. Permits - Chester and crew handled the permits and communicated the project with our architect. His crew would also meet with the City for the permit inspections, which were approved on the first inspection because he and his crew do things the right way. They were very knowledgeable about what the City wants/prefers so inspection/permit process was easy. Communication - Chester was our main contact but we also felt comfortable talking with any crew members about our concerns. Chester was always available and just a phone call away to help resolve any problem or also answer any questions we might have about the process and next steps as the addition was being completed. It was great working with Chester and his team at Above & Beyond Construction and we would recommend him and his team."

"Jeremy has given me the kitchen of my dreams. I hired Grandview to remodel my kitchen and master bathroom and couldnâ t be happier with the outcome. Jeremy was very hands on and personable, and communicated effectively with me for every detail that was part of the project. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything surrounding the project and always knew how to fix any side steps that occurred. He made sure the mess of a construction project was kept to a minimum. I felt comfortable with him and his crew in my house while I was out as he would send pictures and updates of his progress. Jeremy is very detailed with his work, and he doesnâ t stop working until you are 100% satisfied with your design. He is all about perfection and his skill level is top notch. I couldnâ t be happier with my decision to hire Jeremy, and I give him my highest recommendation to anyone who wants their project to be flawless."

"This is the third time we've hired DAL Builders. They previously rebuilt our front porch and gut rehabbed our kitchen. We highly recommend them for the quality of their construction work, project management and working relationship with clients. We have come to trust DAL with our old 1910 house, which presents unique, often confounding (at least to us), challenges. DAL does quality work while advising us about what needs replacing/rebuilding and what doesn't. For example, our basement had decent framing, so we kept it, which was a huge savings. We have a good working relationship with Tim Larkin, our project manager at DAL. If there's a problem during a project, we trust that we can work through it. Still, it always helps to be flexible and take responsibility for communication. We experienced some pandemic-related delays. Start dates can be a little unclear (they depend on the progress of other DAL projects), but once started, Tim moves the work along. Regarding cost, we could pay less for work of lower quality, which we would regret, and I'm sure we could pay a lot more for work of similar quality. Tim is sensitive to cost issues and advises on how to keep costs down. Overall, the value is excellent, and we've been happy with the results. DAL's carpentry work has been outstanding -- our front porch and back stairs are beautiful, and our neighbor still raves about the plumb lines in our kitchen. Our newly rehabbed basement is fantastic; with Tim’s encouragement, we exposed three windows that had been covered up, including two under a porch/bay window. They let in a lot of light and are very attractive! Project management is strong overall. We appreciate the detailed estimates DAL provides. DAL will deliver on those details so be sure the estimates specify what you want. We've gotten to know DAL's subcontractors -- plumber, electrician, drywallers & painters, roofers, etc. They are all very good at what they do. Fostering good communication with this only helps. We really like working with Tim Larkin. He gives us good ideas, is responsive to problems, and is flexible around the needs of the project, which can change. He’ll keep the project on track, manage the subcontractors, etc. I try to keep track of and communicate about details with Tim -- this helps when a project is extensive or has multiple parts, as this most recent one did. It takes a team to pull everything off!"

"RC Brothers was an amazing company to work with. They communicated well and were very helpful in making decisions on finishes. Every one of the workers was extremely kind and courteous, even engaging with my toddler sons, who were very interested in the remodeling work (a gut rehab bathroom remodel). They will be my go-to company for any future remodels."

"Lincoln completed several smaller projects in my home, including assembling and hanging a medicine cabinet, hanging a towel bar, fixing a door that wouldn't close, and hanging a clothing rod in my closet. His work was efficient and faster than the original estimated time I was given! He was friendly and explained his reasoning he was repairing things the way he did, which I appreciated. He also checked in with me throughout the project, asking me questions along the way to ensure that I was getting the results that I wanted. He was super sweet to my pup too, which is always a bonus in my book! I'd definitely work with Da Handy Guys again!"

"There were the usual hiccups with any building project. This being our first house remodel, we had no clue what to expect. Angelo and his company did not fail us, though, giving us a beautiful kitchen and sunroom."
