"Fast and reasonable quote, good availability, good job performance, and helpful. Trevor was also able to fix our attic stairs at little to no cost, while others told us it would be very expense. I’ve used TJM in the past, and I certainly look forward to using them on future jobs."

"It went very well. Mike is incredible!!! I had forgotten it was possible to have a really good experience with a contractor. When I first contacted him through Angies List he contacted me promptly, we met, discussed what I wanted (I provided him with a picture), he gave me a quote and we scheduled the work. Several weeks before the job he called to confirm our schedule and we texted the day before to confirm what time he would arrive. He was prompt and very professional. During the period I was waiting for the job to start, I changed my mind about what I wanted. The day we began I gave him another picture of a surround and we discussed What I liked about it and what I was trying to achieve. Then he began his creative process by cutting pieces of wood , beveling, etc. displaying them on the surround and showing me what was possible. Every step in the process was discussed and executed with my input. In the end he created something better than the picture or anything I had come up with. He really is an artist, very skillful, very smart and very, very efficient. The entire project took just a little more than 4 hours. I now have a new, beautiful custom surround for my fireplace and am very happy. Worth every penny spent on the project and a real pleasure to work with Mike. He’s a personable, quality, very skillful contractor, and I feel lucky to have found him. Will use him again."

"My wife and I are extremely happy with the work that was done to our home by Kurt and his Crew! They helped us take the foreclosure we bought and turn it into one of the better looking homes in the neighborhood! In addition to new vinyl siding, we also had all of our windows replaced as well as a new patio slider and front door. The work they did is definitely attracting a lot of attention from our neighbors... MANY of them have stopped by to compliment us on the work done. Kurt's Team was very efficient and quick considering all of the work they had to do. Kurt himself was fantastic to work with. I think the two of us spoke every day of the project! Towards the end of our project, we had a leak pop up in our roof. Kurt's crew was quick to act and was able to assist us in getting that extra job fixed as well. We will hands down be using Kurt and his Team again in the future! If you are looking for great craftsmanship and a very friendly contractor, I would highly recommend using K. Fedewa Builders"

"I bought an ?Energy Audit? at a reduced (Angie's List) price of $75 (50% off).  The technicians who performed the audit were prompt, knowledgeable, thorough and courteous; and took pains to show me conditions they discovered which they would put in their report.  I received a detailed hand written report with the "raw findings" when they left.  I was told that I would receive a formal report with analysis and specific recommendations for any deficient areas within a few weeks. So far so good.
As background, I had told the individual who scheduled the audit, and the technicians who did the audit that I was already planning to include a conversion from oil to a natural gas heating & hot water system in my prospective project, and that they needed to take that into consideration when presenting recommendations. I also told them that I was considering doing the project within NJ'S CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM, if I qualified. The specific program which the state of NJ offers is called "Home Performance with ENERGY STAR" and focuses on upgrades to existing homes vs. new construction. The program itself has some specific requirements that must be met n order to qualify to receive the grant and low interest loan.  So I was expecting an audit report that would indicate which of the recommendations would best meet those guidelines. [Partly
my fault for not being explicit nor taking the initiative to communicate it more effectively]
Surprisingly, I received the written formal report via email, without any prior contact (after the audit, but prior to receiving the document) from the analyst preparing the formal report, asking for input, insights, goals, or budget to guide their recommendations.  I did, however, get a phone call asking to set up a time to review the report in person with a "Home Performance Adviser".  OK  - a little odd, but OK.
But what I received was not a ?report? of the results of the energy audit, but rather a proposal for the recommendations that they made.  And the ?Adviser? was more of a sales person; he did not create the report, and was unable to explain the links between recommendations and the findings in the energy audit results. Nor did the report make any attempt to prioritize the recommendations e.g. which proposed actions would make the biggest impact on energy reduction.
And despite the fact that they claimed to be able to ?do everything? ? the proposal for a new air conditioning system (which I had indicated as being part of the complete project), was missing.  Most disturbing however was that the proposal for the oil to gas conversion ( over 65% of the total cost) ? only had two lines listing the proposed equipment (just the manufacturer and model number) and prices ? without any explanation (or even assumptions used) for the selection/sizing and the impact on the requirements to qualify for  State?s energy program. They missed correcting a safety finding that was explicitly noted in the raw report.  They included a so-called safety requirement (related to the heating system) ? which I questioned and turned out to be incorrect. They also included recommendations they claimed were ?required? by the NJ program, but subsequently were removed as unnecessary.  It appeared to me that the technicians had a better understanding of the requirements of the program than the individual who wrote the formal report.
After I explained the problems with the report, they did offer to rewrite the report (including my requests/additions/ corrections).  I accepted the offer, and they came back to me within a few weeks with a new report.  Unfortunately they were still unable to answer some basic concerns e.g. which recommendations (outside of the oil to gas conversion which was a ?given?) provided the biggest bang for the buck. During this second proposal review they disclosed that they were using 3rd parties (subcontractors) to provide input regarding the heating/cooling systems and didn?t receive much more information than was in the proposal. So it was not surprising I suppose that they were unable to answer basic questions regarding the most expensive portion of the total project.
Conclusion:
I believe the challenge of working with this particular (regional - Southern NJ) office - is that it was established relatively recently; overly reflected the company "roots" and their desire to quickly expand into areas where their expertise and consulting/sales approaches was insufficient and didn't match my needs.   Specifically - the company's primary experience offered insulation and air sealing services, but within their "formal" recommendations report, represented themselves as being capable of doing the entire project - including the fuel conversion.
I believed that they over-reached their capabilities in their proposal, and under-performed in providing a useful analysis of the energy audit. I thought the audit itself was well done from the ?raw report? I received from the technicians.  Had they made an
attempt to provide a ?Findings report? of the energy audit, and limited their recommendation to what they knew (insulation and air sealing), and I would have been more likely to utilize those services.
Most energy contractors will often do a ?free? energy audit ? acknowledging that it is being used as a promotion vehicle for the resulting recommendations.  I had endured a couple of those ?free audits? previous to this one. In hindsight, I made the mistake of assuming the stated value of the audit (?normally $150?) would result in a more thorough report than what you would get for free.
I was wrong.
p.s. The contractor who subsequently installed the heating/cooling systems portion of my project (excellent - I?ve reviewed for
Angie?s list) was surprised to hear of my issues. He had been a subcontractor for Mark Group on a number of projects: and told me that the other Mark Group?s office in NJ had been established for many years and typically got very good reviews.  He was the individual who told me that the Southern NJ Office was relatively new, and suggested that it might explain some of the problems. Hopefully they learned something from my experience and will prove to help earn better reviews in the future.

"My house was in a need of a major face lift. In preparation for the approaching cold months, and inevitably spending more time in doors, we wanted to make sure that all of our major updates were finished before the cold Michigan weather came sweeping in to spoil the summer fun. So naturally it was decided that the time had come to remove the awful wallpaper in the den and master bathroom!
 I met with four contractors, Elysium's bid was admittedly higher in price. However, based on their outstanding reputation and the detail and clarity that their estimator brought to the table we signed the contract.
All of the work was completed as promised and within the given time frame. There were no nasty surprises when the materials invoice came and the ghastly wallpaper is gone for good. Looking forward to spending time in my updated den this winter, thank you Elysium for doing a great job!
