"Fantastic general contractor with a fantastic communication skills, you don't have to supervised the construction."

"Really enjoyed working with Matt (owner) and Dino- they were friendly and professional, able to accommodate our time frame, and did an amazing job! Would hire them for any home project!"

"We hired Built-Well to install new doors in our house. This involved work in nearly every room in the house, but Grant and his team moved quickly, working around our schedule, and kept everything spotless as they worked. We are so happy with the finished project and will absolutely hire Built-Well for future projects. We have worked with several contractors in the past, but none have come close to the professionalism and quality of their work! We can not recommend them enough!!"

"A few years ago Andrew Ramirez performed emergency service as a result of significant flooding and water damage in our basement. Mr. Ramirez acted as our insurance claims handler, contractor, and designer supplying the necessary labor, materials and equipment to complete this project. When water damage occurred in our kitchen only a few days ago we immediately placed a call to Mr. Andrew Ramirez . We want to share with the world the many talents of this man. Style, taste and class are the adjectives that come to mind when trying to describe Andrew as a contractor, designer and problem solver. He has the uncanny ability to bring out a rooms potential mastering angles and space. After our major flood Mr. Ramirez not only fixed the water issue but renovated the entire basement of our home. Andrew Ramirez worked with us on every aspect of the project suggesting we meet as a team -contractor, designer, claims adjustor. Another example of his professionalism, In additional, Andrew Ramirez has a unique expertise with insurance claim handling. Excelling in organization including detailed paper work, quotes and detailed e-mails are all a natural part of his repertoire. There are no surprises when you are a client of his. Phone calls are immediately returned and Andrew leaves not stone unturned for excellence. In keeping with the spirit of collaboration Andrew has made numerous phone calls with our insurance company, suppliers and other people involved in our total renovation design project. Another great aspect of working with Andrew and his company is his relationship with other resources. He is always on top of the timing of things making any major house project as painless as possible. Andrew Ramirez is far from a "yes" person. His honesty and up front manner is one of his most important characteristics. In addition, Andrew seems generally concerned about cost and we had the feeling that he handled us as if he were doing this for his own home. It is clear from working on our second project with Andrew that he is passionate about his work and sincere when you are his client. We highly recommend this remarkable man and his company to anyone who is looking for quality work!"

"My parents and I live in a old brick apartment building in Hoboken that is from the 1880s. The bathroom in our apartment had not been updated since the 1940s. We needed help ASAP. We checked out Cesar s page and wanted to hire him immediately. The reviews speak for themselves. When he came into our apartment to give us a quote we knew that this was contractor we needed to get the job done. Cesar is affordable, friendly, and very accommodating to any issues or concerns you have before starting the project. Two massive issues with our project were that my dad has spinal & walking issues, so we needed the floors clear of all tools and materials at the end of the each day so that father could walk efficiently through the apartment. The other big issue was that we only have 1 bathroom, so Cesar agreed to work with us on pulling the toilet off and on as every day finished so that we did not have to leave our building to use the toilet. Him and his crew are the best and take pride in their work so that owner is happy with the final result. We brought the bathroom down to the bare bones and rebuilt it back up. I worked with him every step of the way to make sure that he needed all materials to get the job done in the time we needed. This project was an intense remodel with some of the hardest demo and substrate materials that an old bathroom can have. He didn t think anything of it. He has veteran experience in the field and this remodel only took 3 weeks. We are very impressed with Cesar s craftsmanship and professionalism and we will be hiring him again for any future interior projects."

BUYER BEWARE.  I hate long reviews...but I wish someone rang the warning bell with a review of their experiences before we used Ernest & Sons.

To be fair In the end the job was done--but at what cost?  We worked with Jose a few years back to replace our driveway.  Jose and team did an excellent job.  So when we wanted to have our patio and walkway done we called Ernest and sons again.  This time we dealt with Ernest.  Initially he was nice and helpful showing me other patios completed.  We were very specific on timing to finish the project he was in agreement understanding weather delays could impact the completion. 

Once the contract was signed ...communications on their side stopped.  We had to call several times to see when the project would start. Once the job started the guys on site were nice but they did not speak much English and there no project manager to check in to see how things were going. 



When the job was done there was light rain and we noticed pools of water on the patio.  I put paper cups in the standing water and took pictures.  I contacted Ernest he came out and never conceded there was a problem as he looked at the standing water.  However he sent a crew back (again we had not paid yet) to remove the pavers and ensure it was level. They removed pavers in different areas 5 TIMES to level the patio.  While I truly appreciate their efforts...why didn't the first crew simply get it right.

DAMAGES TO OUR YARD AND NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.  In the process of building our patio they drove trucks onto our yard

and the neighbors damaging both yards.  I immediately took pictures and called Ernest--he assured me all damages would be taken care of.  When the job was complete his guys put seeds down and we paid in full.  However almost a month later there were only spots of grass and both yards still damaged.

I called again sent more pictures and he sent another crew that told my husband they were putting  down the 'good stuff this time' (really). We watered the lawns twice a day same as before...the damage is still there are now we have to pay out of pocket to fix our lawn and our neighbors! 



ICING ON THE CAKE.  Company called and asked if Ernest could bring a potential customer to see the patio. My husband agreed assuming he could talk to Ernest about damages.  Ernest was no show...they gave the prospects our address...and to our surprise two strangers walked into our backyard without even ringing the doorbell. I do not fault the couple but Ernest and Sons for handling this entire job so unprofessionally.

If you still choose to use this merchant ...good luck and get in writing how damaged will be handled.

"Superb. Great contractor. Skilled in all areas of building construction, demolition, heavy equipment operation. Very nice guy. Hard working. Reasonable pricing."

"I have used Home Improvements Done Right several times both on my investment properties (buy; holds, flips, new construction), as well as my personal home and each time Mauricio and Daniel were able to deliver above expectations and within budget. They and their teams are very easy to work with, and can work autonomously, making logical judgement calls in the field and when necessary, will suggest thoughtful improvements. Communications are clear, timely, and effective. They are competitive from a pricing perspective, and their work quality is among the best out there. They leave the work area neat and orderly and their employees are extremely polite and friendly. For all the aforementioned, Home Improvements Done Right is my default GC, and I have even referred them to other builders who had issues with their previous contractor's performance. The feedback on those referrals have always been extremely positive. I will continue to use them on my projects."

"Even when I didn't understand and I was questioning things, they gave me advice on different options I could do and helped me save money. They gave me ideas on things to add that I was doing in my home to help it all balance out. It looked great! The work they did was a better quality for a better price than other contractors were willing to do."

"Terrific. He came on time, did a wonderful job , is very trustworthy, and a real craftsman. I would hire him again as a contractor for anything."
