We contracted Friedman to rebuild our garage after the 2019 tornadoes. Demolition and building material delivery was in Nov 2019. Wood got moldy and waterlogged sitting in the rain and snow until building began in summer 2020. I checked in with the city and township offices to and learned it had been delayed because a permit was never applied for. He mentioned the township office would take care of it. Things seemed more difficult and lengthy because of incompetence. Foundation work was done in June 2020. Framing began in July/Aug 2020. The build was completed in May 2021. Water seeps in under the walls in wet weather, the osb soaks up waterand take days or weeks to dry out. He did send someone to fix it but it. The fix was caulking around the bottom of siding. It didn't help. There's no flashing around the roof trim, it looks messy, tacked up as an afterthought. Carpenter bees moved into the bare wood immediately. The open soffits allow animals and insects free access. Friedman was aware of the issues but refused to fix anything anything until another contract was signed. In the end Jason blamed me for being unsatisfied with the work. After completion my patio was left destroyed, construction garbage was left everywhere, and at least 3 yards of soil was left that I had to move by hand. Shingles, siding, trash, nails, broken glass, and cigarette butts were left behind for me to clean up. That wouldn't even be a complaint if the building wasn't rotting from the inside out We paid just under 30k. Now, almost 2 years later the building is visibly falling apart and there is extensive water damage. I would not recommend this contractor

The Friedman team did truly *amazing* job! Jason (the owner)’s initial visit to our home lasted more than an hour. He asked very detailed questions to ensure he understood exactly what we wanted to accomplish. The estimate was quickly produced, and was exceeding thorough and clear, spanning a full 2-pages, itemizing all that the job entailed. When there were possible ways of saving money, he offered them. He also suggested a number of clever workarounds we had not considered. The estimated amount was a bit less than the other two quotes we received. In addition, it included items others had not thought to suggest. Other companies said they could begin in 4-6 months. Jason said he would begin in 2-3 weeks and complete the sizable renovation within 3 weeks. Once we agreed to move forward, everything was wrapped up within the timeline he estimated (from my experience, a rare feat!). All members of his crew were friendly, diligent, and highly competent. They were efficient on site, demonstrated great skill, were cautious not to damage anything, and performed a through cleanup, leaving nothing behind. The final product far exceeded our expectations! We are very grateful for Jason's Team and we definitely plan to use them for future projects. Thanks so much! Jon & Courtney

Jason was so quick to provide a quote. He had excellent communication and was very knowledgeable about many different areas. He didn’t spare any details when looking at the damage which made us feel really comfortable. We would 100% reach out to this company again for our next remodeling journey.

This was no small job as it was related to 17 years of wear and tear on the home and it was not a typical home as the drywall folks were working with 28 foot ceilings. On a job of this size and nature you expect some complications along they way and of course there was but I can honestly state no matter what developed it was taken care of with professionalism and the thought process of the customer is right so lets fix what the customer is asking. Because there were some many different items needing repaired it required different crews to be involved and each and every crew was professional, caring and most important cared about the work they performed in the end which showed.. I own 3 business and know what it takes to work with the public and do what it takes to achieve 100% customer satisfaction. Jason Friedman Improvements seems to have a science in place to assure that happens on a daily basis. I would recommend this firm for a large job such as ours was or even a small one if that is what you are looking for.

Requested a qoute from Friedman and got an appointment for the next morning which really impressed me. Talked with Barry the next morning and things went good in our quick discussion. He supplied me with a quote within 48 hours. I responded and told him that I wanted to make a minor change to plan that would make it easier on them and asked for an adjustment to qoute. I did not hear anything back for over a week. I contacted him again and he said he was out of town and needed the square feet and he would contact me in a few days. I supplied the information requested and never heard anything back. It has been over a month at this point. I cannot recommend this company at this time because there doesn't seem to be an interest in working with customers.

With all due respect , the quote could not be reevaluated due to the ever-changing desires of the customer. Barry was out of town as he stated and Did try to contact him back, but we essentially needed to start completely over again. Which was not a problem, however, we wanted to do this via email to have record of the conversations in order to protect ourselves and our customer … our emails were not responded to. As the man above stated …. We did everything by the book , followed through, contacted him, had multiple discussions, emailed him to make sure we had an accurate assessment of the changes being asked for , and we heard nothing in return . To get a negative review for something involving these circumstances seams a bit uncalled for respectfully. As a business , we support Barry and have seen the conversations, phone call logs, and have witnessed how/why the quote could not be re-estimated . This was a rare case of simply not being able to provide numbers to someone due to the extent of changes and the lack of clarity we could ascertain. We value all of our customers no matter the job size/type. We will continue to do so moving forward . Thank you.

I can't say enough good things about Friedman Home Improvement! We had an outside wall that had old stucco crumbling from a small portion of wall next to our garage. His guy came out and went above and beyond to repair it correctly. Looks great and everyone was friendly too. We'll definitely give them a call when we get around to other big projects we need to get done!

Jason was very good at coming to the house and asking questions, and giving me advice on what he saw, and what could be done. He then sent an estimate in a timely fashion, as well as got the work done, and made certain it was complete and satisfactory before asking for the final payment.. He and the people that did the work were all honest, polite, helpful, and a pleasure to do business with. I will certainly call Friedman Home Improvement and Masonry the next time I need work done.

TL/DR: Extremely late every day. Brought emotion and was defensive and quick to throw others under the bus when things came up. Bad job keeping the site clean. Not good results on the job - would never hire them again. Estimate/consultation went well. Jason talked and good talk, said all the things I wanted to hear such as being a professional, not bringing emotion into his work when plans adjust/change. However the execution of the work and expectations were terrible. First of all, our drywall is extremely thick and has layers of plaster on it. According to the drywall worker that Jason partners with, he said Jason told him to purchase the incorrect drywall which is why our walls are not as level as they should be. He said that Jason should have brought him along on the estimations so he could guide him on proper materials to buy. The drywall worker was more than 5 hours late the first day. Jason told me his guy would be a couple hours late, but by the 3rd/4th hour, I had to reach out to Jason multiple times to see what was going on. When I mentioned to Jason that I was chucking it up to just a one off occurrence and giving him the benefit of the doubt that this wouldn't be the norm, he became extremely defensive. Felt the need to mansplain to me how one purchases material at Home Depot, causing the tardiness. His worker proceeded to be hours late every day after that. It became a joke that when he said he'd be there at a specific time, I added 2-3 hours to that. Clean up was awful. Had to ask him to seal off all entry ways from the room he was working on but the damage was too late and crazy amounts of dust was everywhere. Also during his mopping at the end, he threw his cigarette butt on our kitchen floors. We had large cardboard boxes in our garage that we used during unrelated demo. After this work was done, our garage reeked of cigarettes. It turned out that the worker was throwing his butts in those boxes, as once we threw those boxes out, the smell eventually faded. Just a complete disregard for our home. Finally, the job took exponentially longer than estimated. It was a complete ceiling and upper wall job and he only had 1 person working it.

We came to find out that there were underlying issues once we started the job. Respectfully, the home owner did not make us aware of the underlying problems that her husband knew about .... which we fixed (improper electrical work.... not to code and dangerous), which we fixed for free. The drywall work was done well and pictures were taken as we typically do on all of our jobs. I am a little confused as to why we would have been paid and why I would have texts from the customer stating that they were happy , if the end results were as bad as has been stated. Jay (the employee on the job), was having some family issues (daughter was ill and in the hospital), which was explained and I asked if they wanted me to send someone else out to complete the job if it was desired.... the answer was no. The timeframe that it took to do the job had more to do with the electrical that the husband continued to state he was going to deal with himself, than it did us . We always give timeframes regarding start times in the morning when procuring materials, Jay was never more than 30 minutes outside that window . One of the days .... jay was 27 minutes late due to buying electrical materials for the job which we never were supposed to do. We did this out of kindness and trying to move forward. I am not sure what else we could have done at this point . I would hope that this review is not viewed negatively in any way. We are a multiple-time SUPER SERVICE AWARD WINNER, which is no easy task. We run a great business and strive for customer satisfaction, as seen in our other reviews. *Lastly, Jay did not smoke , he does not smoke. There was another contractor that was there that got fired. I can only assume this was the other contractors doing. My guys do not throw cigarette butts down on people’s property... ever. Thank you for reading .

We contacted Friedman Home Improvement in December along with other contractors in the area to get estimates for our project. Out of the people we interviewed we immediately felt most comfortable with Friedman. Jason came out for the estimate and I could tell he had attention detail and he asked plenty of questions. He brought up things we hadn't thought about and explained things very well. Jason's crew was amazing. Andy and Mr. McGhee were excellent. They are very skilled, talented, and friendly. I can tell this company puts a lot of effort into deciding on who to hire. The project stayed on time, accurate, and the worksite was kept as clean as well as demolished kitchen getting drywall work can be. I will definitely be recommending our friends to consider Friedman Home Improvement.

Contractor was polite, neat and considerate. Did a good job but baseboard didn't get replaced as was told contractors who were going to lay carpet would do it. They did not so I have an unfinished hallway. Was told owner of company would come to check work when finished and he did not, rather sent someone to pick up payment check. Good, prompt phone responses from owner.

Not sure that I understand... my lady is an officer of the company. My lady went out to collect payment and customer stated she was thrilled. Also said that she was not sure which type of flooring she wants to put back in, therefore, she did not want the baseboard reinstalled. Even though it has been months later... I would still be willing to install the 1 piece of baseboard. We always strive for customer satisfaction. We always strive for an “A” rating.
