PETE SOULE CUSTOM CARPENTRY & REMODELING

It went really well. Pete worked with me and the suppliers, made welcome suggestions and recommendations, and did what he said he would do when he said he would do it. The cost was as proposed. The quality of the work is excellent. My bathroom looks beautiful. I plan to hire Pete to remodel the one remaining bathroom in my house that has not been remodeled.

We've worked with Peter for years, and he has always done excellent work for us.  In this particular case, they worked in an around two other jobs going on at the same time to get my two rooms back to 'normal' in the shortest possible time.  They stripped the wallpaper in a bedroom/ bath, and then painted all walls, trim and ceilings.  And the ceiling twice cuz I changed my mind on the color.
I will have Peter and Co work in our home at any time!!! 

My wife and I are thrilled with the outcome of the project. Pete was in tune to our desires and needs, and came through 100%. He always kept the work area closed off from the rest of the house and was careful about clean up. He often worked Saturdays to ensure timely completion of the project. Pete displayed thoughtful attention to detail, and readily admitted when he was out of his "comfort zone" in terms of work that we needed to outsource (eg installation of the glass door).

Pete did some nice work in matching walls in this 1927 house, but during
the course of construction he left a coffee cup on my antique sideboard which
ruined the finish. He said he would have it repaired, but never did.
This will be an expense and major aggravation to get repaired. His crew left cups and
detritus (cigarette butts etc) on my porch and in the front garden
behind bushes. He did not do the plumbing and electrical (other reviews
of these will be coming). As is the case with most renovations of this
kind, the house provided some surprises that had to be addressed and
required flexibility on the part of the contractors. Some met this
challenge better than others. Soule and his subs were fairly good about
this, but had trouble toward the end of the job and basically left it unfinished even though they had been paid. (my error)
He did not complete the punch list for the job despite many
many requests. One wall of baseboard was not reinstalled and hole in
the wall was not patched after the electrician (Ben Clement) removed
these to do some work and did not replace or repair himself. There were a number of small things not done
which proved annoying and time consuming to remedy. I would use him again under more controlled circumstances.

I thought he was a great person to work with. He does good work. He was able to come back and fix something that hadn't gone quiet right. He was very responsive to feedback. The price was reasonable.

The work was done within days of the estimate. The crew was conscientious, helpful and friendly. Pete was on site most of the time. The job went very smoothly. iI am now preparing to remodel the bath and have asked Pete to bid that job as well. I will also ask for a bid on framing and trimming a number of wall openings which will now become doorways.

See update for final evaluation. Unfinished punch list, damage to my furniture, which was never repaired as promised, and complete non-responsiveness to these issues at the end of the project drops my score to a C. I had to bring in another contractor to finish these at additional cost.

The project moved along quickly and efficiently. While it was messy work, each day they cleaned up. All furniture, etc. was covered and protected. They always inquired about when it was convenient for us to have them arrive in the morning. Overall excellent communication and cooperation.

We had an excellent experience. The estimate was done promptly. The team did excellent detailed work and were very professional. We were very pleased with the end result.
