Fantastic and smooth experience

Everything from initial meeting with Richard and than his design team, and project manager Todd, they were on top of everything. They let us know about every detail of job, each day we knew what was done, and what will be done the next day.

Our experience with Skydell Contracting for our partial kitchen renovation was excellentâ ¦ Absolutely top-notch! We needed a new sink, lower cabinets and countertop in our original 1953 kitchen, which had been custom-built and included features like unique, irreplaceable wall tiling that we wanted to retain and protect. There was no pressure to increase the scope of our project, and the Skydell team was totally understanding and accommodating of our needs. We met with Devon a few times to discuss and design the job, both at our home and in the Skydell office. She explained everything in detail and patiently answered our many questions, helping us to get the most out of our budget and offering insightful suggestions. One thing we were concerned about was the effect a lengthy renovation project might have on our senior rescue dog, Jacques, but Skydell was on top of that, too! Our project manager, Brian, was an absolute giftâ ¦ He listened to all our concerns and answered all our questions at our pre-construction meeting, and worked to ensure the fewest number of people would be in the house at any given time to reduce the stress on Jacques (and us, too!). He always made sure we knew who would be coming to the house and when, kept us apprised of any changes or developments, and worked with us whenever we needed to take our furry friend out, feed him, etc. Brian was even so thoughtful as to ask if Jacques would be upset by certain sounds, like a loud nail gun, so that we could take him outside or to another area of the house if needed. We could not have asked for a better project manager! Brian did a lot of the work himself, especially the rather delicate removal of our original bottom cabinets while protecting the original tile work. He came up with some creative solutions for our small mid-century kitchen space. Since we had decided we wanted to keep our original upper cabinets, we opted to have them refinished, and Skydellâ s painter, Adrian, did an absolutely gorgeous job. The cabinets look brand-new! Overall, the entire project was done on schedule, the work is excellent quality, and we are very, very happy! Weâ ve already recommended Skydell to a few colleagues and will absolutely continue to do so. A huge thank-you to everyone at Skydell! Erin, Kathleen and Jacques Suydam

Overall a great experience. Friendly, understanding and accommodating and high quality work and most of all timely and within budget

This kind of work is costly but the work was top notch. The communication was excellent and it was worth the expense

Excellent service, advice, and quality work. Ken was terrific and shepherded the project along as needed Thanks!!!!

Skydell Contracting completely remodeled 3 bathrooms for me. From start to finish, they were a highly professional team and extremely easy to work with. After looking over the site, Richard helped me navigate the design process, which would have been impossible for me on my own. He talked me through the choices to make in a structured way with enough options at each step so that I was happy with the outcome. Henry, the project manager, reviewed the entire agreed-upon scope of work before the start to make sure that we had the same understanding of what was to happen. He organized the work of all of the needed sub-contractors in a smooth way, and always checked in to make sure that they had done a quality job. I always understood what was happening next. There were no headaches for me to deal with at all. The end result is just lovely. I would recommend Skydell to anyone considering this type of remodeling project.

It was awesome working with Richard and his team. Richard is personally available for any questions. Henry was the project manager assigned to my project, he always gave me a heads up on the work being performed and keep me updated with all the work. Any questions or concerns I had were always promptly handled. They always told me that I should be happy with the work so they made sure all my concerns were taken care of. Great company to work with. Also, had a great experience with John and Kathryn. All in all a great team and excellent work!

Awful, it started well but finish 2 months late. They sub-contract out to who ever they can find. One guy on my project they hired using some APP. Project manager ended up getting fired and an employee quit because as he said, Im sick and tired of fixing there F ups! They damaged my refrigerator, my dishwasher, my storm door and porch railing. Parts of the job was started before other were started and completed. Spackeled the walls and ceilings after the cabinets were installed. Had to always correct parts of the project because of timing errors. They could not wait to do the cabinets they said. Dont worry we will fix it later is a term I heard a lot. Dont worry you have a warranty too. Put the the new plywood down to match the old oak flooring in the 2 rooms and they were not even flush with each other. After new plywood was down, then they decide to cut out to run the vent for under the cabinet vent and 2 more hole in the new plywood to access the ducts to seal them up. Flooring was awful. I mean did this guy forget his glasses or what. Electrician was a joke, he came back 3 times to figure out why things werent working. Project manager said he is not finished yet. Why would you want to wire your switches and receptacles and not have them work the first time? Plumbing guy took 3 visits to stop the leaking drain, they came and said its not leaking, I sent them a video they said, it wasnt leaking when we were there. I ended fixing the leak myself. Plumbing guy was like awful when they moved the gas line he didnt even have tools to shut off the gas on the floor. I gave him a gas valve. They charged me extra because the plumbing was bad originally. Yea no valve and you used my valve to fix that issue! I wouldnt use them again if you payed me. Im upset it cost so much and got this crap job out of it. Cabinets are cheap and I like Home Depot cabinets better. They wan to make money. The new project manager was a good guy!

Such nice, professional and talented people. Every subcontractor left the place clean, even if they were coming back the next day. Everyone was so personable and did such great workmanship. The design was impressive given a difficult layout. The finished product is fantastic, and have received wonderful comments from discerning people. Our site manager was the best. You are always happy when the job is over, but we hate to see them go.

Very professional. Workmanship is very good.

Competitively priced but expert in execution. Responsive to clients needs and requests. Positive response from anyone who has seen the finished project.

Paid too much!

Overpriced!

Really great company to work with. Great communications back and forth. Everyone was courteous, professional, etc. They kept the work site clean, left no mess for me to take care of. I would hire them again!!!

Skydell did a partial renovation of a small bathroom with plumbing issues. The whole process went smoothly from quote to finish. During the initial quotation process Richard suggested re-using as much of the existing bathroom where possible to save money, which we appreciated. I suspected plumbing problems from the previous remodel and once the walls were open the problems were discovered. Steve the project manager offered a couple of options to fix the issues while the plumber was there and was able to fix the issues to code that day, this was an added cost to the quote but well worth it and the additional costs were communicated clearly and in advance of any additional work being started. The new tile in the shower looks great and the crews did a great job of re-installing the existing shower door and toilet. Dust and disruption was kept to a minimum and all debris, trash etc was removed quickly. Overall a great experience and would work with them again without hesitation.

Skydell Contracting did an excellent job in renovating our master bathroom. Guidance from Richard on selection of fixtures, vanity, and tile aided us in making our decisions. Our project managers - Alan, Dave and Henry- were very easy to work with, kept us informed of the schedule of sub-contractors, and pitched in by performing some of the tasks. Thank you all!

Great company. Did the work really well and quickly. Dave, our contractor made sure everything went smoothly, No complaints.

David Brenner was great. He and Albert did wonderful job. Thank You
