Response from Marcellos Design & Builders
Dear Customer, At this time we are having a high volume of estimate requests and we are attending who's is waiting in the line before you. You never sent your information to our website or email.We receive in the average 350 calls for estimate per day which it is impossible to take all them. Your decision to post a C review to our company it is totally unacceptable because we are hardworking people extremely busy. If you do not have patience at all to wait in the line this make us think what would be when we start to work for you ? Exactly nightmare. We are looking to work with good faith customer that understand we are busy and wait to be served to receive our Highend customer service just like the thousands previous customers and current customers. Unfortunately you just lost a chance to work with a very reputable one of kind contractor for the lifetime. I wish you have the best of luck with your project thanks.

Not well.
Description of Work: We got an estimate for damage in our living rom caused by an ice dam. We ask them to do the work. After several back and forths on email trying to get the work scheduled the company stopped responding. It was not a large job. The estimate was around 5000.00. Very frustrating.

Description of Work: I contacted MARCELLO'S RENOVATIONS by email with a description of the work I needed done. He came to my house to provide an estimate, and I was in touch with him by phone and email to further discuss the work. He was knowledgeable about the work required and the town codes. He was also friendly and easy to talk to about the work providing suggestions while still listening to my ideas. He provided a detailed quote, and always responded to questions. His quote was competitive but slightly more than another contractor, therefore I did not offer him this work. However MARCELLO'S RENOVATIONS was very professional and I would have felt comfortable hiring him.

Description of Work: Called Marcello regarding finishing the basement which includes two by fours, insulation, blueboards ceiling and flooring. Marcello came in and was polite, however it seems there is enough business for him, otherwise I can't explain the 45000 estimate he came up with. I asked for a break down of the price, but he said that would cost me money and he was doing me a favor for even coming without charging me. Thanks but no thanks. Got two other contractors and their quote for the same exact thing was 14000 and 15000.

Description of Work: He gave me an estimate to replace a porch and stairway. He did not seem knowledgeable about Abex which was my choice of materials. Also, after wasting my time informed me that he could not get to the job until October. He should have told me that from the initial contact. He was polite and reasonably responsive but could have been better. If he is that busy he should have a better way of communicating with potential clients. I will not be calling him again.

Description of Work: We contacted Marcello's (via an online form) for an estimate to have our living room redone. We received a short email back explaining that there was a $100 charge for an estimate. I was aghast at the charge for a service that nearly every other - quality - business offers for free, in good faith. Shame on you! We will not contact them further.

Description of Work: Joe and his team did a great job on our bathroom renovations and was efficient in completing the work. Any questions or issues that came up he quickly responded to as well. When we do hire them again in the future, which we will, I would just request they pay a little closer to the details, but great and pleasant guys to work with!

Description of Work: We wanted our living room, hallway, stairwell and one bedroom painted. Marcello contacted me within 24 hrs of my e-mailing him. We set up an appointment for an estimate. He looked around and as we walked through, I described what I wanted done. He gave me an estimate immediately. The most wonderful part was that he didn't go over his estimate at all - the price he quoted was the price we were billed. His team showed up promptly. They took their shoes off at the door and went right to work, always being thoughtful and careful of what they were doing. We contracted to have the walls and trim painted. I told him how I was going to frame out the fireplace when they were done. One day I came home from work and it was completely and beautifully framed at no extra charge. His right hand man, Elvaro was there everyday, on time, friendly and hard working! He worked nearly 12 hours on the last day so they could finish in the estimated 6 days. When the job was done, they cleaned up after themselves and moved the furniture back into place. We were so pleased with the job, we gave them a bonus. We are definitely going to use them for our future projects. Thank you, Marcello!!!

Everything started with a water damage in our basement. We had already used Marcello's company 4 years ago for exterior painting. They always perform great quality work. Last year we called Marcello to renovate our basement and we were very pleased again with how everything came up so beautiful, so we decided to do some changes to our kitchen and bathroom. I am very thankful to the painters, ceramic installers, carpenters, plumber and electrician. He recently told us he's on Angie's List and we were more than glad to come here and write our testimonial.Thanks Marcello and we will see you on our next project.
