"Excellent customer service from proposal to completion. Workmanship was excellent, the installation crew arrived on time. They went about their work in a methodical manner, the team experience showed, each worker knew what had to be done at any particular time. The installers were clean and respectful of the house and furnishings. They worked under some challenging weather conditions but that did not effect the quality of their work. The finished product proved to be more effective than I expected. The furnace runs less - energy saving, the house is much warmer and the special areas that I was concerned about were remedied. The installers went beyond the original scope of work, at my request, they insulated some additional areas that were causing some discomfort. This step made the kitchen much more habitable. Over all I was pleased with; the company, staff and installers. Every one that I interfaced with were professional, courteous and accommodating. The process was easy to do; one phone call and the estimator arrived, he did his work and by the end of the day I had a proposal, another phone call and I was on the schedule. My project was scheduled within two weeks. The installation took two days, I had an invoice by the end of the second day. One more phone call and the billing was completed "'Seamless". This company is "Easy to do business with""

"Matt went above and beyond his duty. I just moved into this house and hired Matt to insulate it.. He found a couple other small things that needed attention and if he could he fixed them and if he couldn't he gave me a contractors name to call.. Would HIGHLY recommend this company!!!"

"They did a great job installing the hardie board siding and new windows. I hired them after the initial cheaper contractor I hired messed up the job. They worked through the cold weather, were very responsive to anything that needed fixed or changed, were easy to work with, professional, and cleaned up everything afterwards. Would 100% use again.

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

"We inherited a property with lots of problems stemming from an inability of my husband's parents to maintain the home. As a final renovation to the small home (1100 sq. feet), we decided to convert an enclosed sun porch (500 sq ft) into a full addition. The addition added four rooms: A large bedroom, a full bath, an office and a pantry.

Please watch the video that I made of photos from the beginning to the end, along with a walk through:

The sun porch, built in the 50's, was glass and aluminum frame, supporting a good roof. The structure would rattle when the wind blew. Windows fell out frequently, it was an eyesore. The aluminum structure was deteriorating to the point where the wrought iron supports were rusted out at the floor. It was unsafe.

We interviewed five builders. Three gave us quotes. One offered to draw plans for a fee, but did not quote us a price or give any documentation.

Commonwealth Construction ( http://pittsburghremodelingpro.com/ ) was the best of the lot by far. Les Dukehart came to the house within a day of my initial contact with their office. He was kind and helpful. NO pressure from Les. He made suggestions and told us, after our walk through and talk, that he would get a plan together with a quote.

The quote was written within three days -- none of the other contractors offered a written quote - only verbal. One of the other bidders yelled at me and said that he wanted us to "pull the trigger" and accept his bid. I never got that kind of  treatment from Commonwealth Construction and Les Dukehart.

We felt confident that Les would get the job done right, removing the walls without dropping the roof was my primary fear. There was simply no pressure. And they did NOT drop the roof.

Day one there were at least five guys here working. They started demolition and had the ceiling down and rafters exposed in two hours. Wall one came down within a couple of hours and was replaced by 2x6 constructed walls, they were supporting the walls as they were removing them. Then they started on wall two. By the end of the day, two sides of our structure was framed and this was in the beginning of February, 2013 -- the winter to end all winters!

Day two all three walls were down and re-framed and sheeting was two-thirds done. By the end of day five the structure was framed in and sheeted.

Ceiling,  flooring joists and interior partitions went up during the second week, we soon had plumbing and electrical roughed in. I was amazed at the flow of the work. It was orchestrated wonderfully. Les was on site every single day.  We always had a great crew here.  Carpenters, plumbers, heating professionals and electricians were very skilled and very nice people. I miss seeing their faces in the house.

I had questions from time to time. I had to call Les many times. He answered his phone each time and was able to talk me through my questions and give me advice. I never felt alone or left to dangle or worry.

Commonwealth passed each inspection required by our community code office and followed the code every step of the way. There was no question, Commonwealth knew the code. Several of the bidders we interviewed did not know the code and it varies from township to township.

At one point, we made a decision to move the main dividing partition a foot or so to make the bathroom larger. This resulted in them having to move and re-frame two windows. They did this without complaint and Les did not charge us for the change.
Les Dukehart met with me at Home Depot and helped me pick out fixtures for the bath. We opted for a 60 inch long standing shower with shower doors. The bath is so beautiful and is completely handicap accessible. This was a primary issue for us, since we have family visitors who use wheelchairs and walkers. We wanted them to be able to use our home without encountering barriers to their accessibility.

The workers were nice, friendly, they cleaned up after themselves every single day. They vacuumed away all of the dust and wood shavings. They organized their work tools every day.  Although it was freezing most days that February, they were here every day. They were courteous, even once rescuing my cat, after I had inadvertently forgotten to put him in the bedroom for the day.

The addition was beautifully sided and the construction is so square and plumb. Not a wrinkle or a mess anywhere. The walls were beautifully dry walled, mudded and primed. We never expected the result would be so wonderful.
The wiring was superb, they even added supports for us to mount a flat screen TV on the wall and helped me show them my plan to run the wiring so that all of the power and cables would be in the walls. They added improvements to my idea and reinforced the walls in two areas with 2x6 horizontal bracing in two areas so that we can hang the TV on either wall. If we ever want to add Ethernet or other cabling, they added conduit so that we simply have to put the wires through without fishing around in the walls.

The addition is insulated with R-19 in the walls and floors and R-38 (code for our area) in the ceiling. It is a warm, tight building. The windows are sealed and are so pretty!

What really tied it all together was the finish carpentry. The fellows sure can trim a room. They made archways, they matched the molding in the old part of the house and the trim in the new area is gorgeous. They created a beautiful walk in closet with a great rack system.  I am just overwhelmed.

They seamlessly used sheet vinyl (at our request) through the bath and office, and it looks so rich. They did not piece it, it is continuous in both rooms, creating flow in the areas. The feel is so good under foot.

Commonwealth created beautiful lighting. I am so pleased. The bathroom has a sensor which turns on the lights when the door is opened and then the lights shut off after a while. This is wonderful, because our children leave lights on all the time. There is also a switch within easy reach to keep the lights on until a person wants to turn them off.
We built this room so that our family could have more living space. Our home is now 1600 sq. feet. Each of our children have their own bedrooms and we no longer have a computer desk in our dining room. We now have an addition with a full bath, an office, a pantry to augment our small kitchen and a huge bedroom. That brings us to a bath on each level, including the basement.

I know we will have more projects and we will call on Les and Commonwealth Construction when our roof needs replaced and other work needs to be done. He is fast, efficient, and worth every penny. I can't say enough about their work ethic and level of expertise.

During our ownership of this home, we have had to have a lot of work done prior to the addition. Being new in the area, we tried a couple of different contractors (see my other reviews). We had a previous contractor do shoddy interior work. We were nervous about doing a project on this scale. We made the right decision with Les and Commonwealth. We will continue to use them as we need work done."

"So the remodel started off on the slow side... J&B was behind from the previous job. I expected Jason and his crew on a Monday; they started that Wednesday.  I was anxious, but Jason answered my calls and returned my texts and then his wife called to confirm the day they were coming out to start.  I was glad to get started and Jason keeping in touch helped keep things positive for me.  Taking the bathrooms down to the studs would cost us more in materials but my husband and I knew this up front. (The coupon doesn't cover the extra drywall and the $1200 material budget is on the low end).  I upgraded materials so total cost of bathrooms came to approx $13,000 ($9,500 for 2 coupons).  Jason left the purchasing of bathroom materials up to the me since I knew what I wanted and had guidelines from him as far as amount of tile needed, size of vanity, etc.  It was a lot of back and forth to Home Depot and Lowes but it all came together beautifully at the end.  My husband and I are very pleased.  The workmanship is great and I have to give kudos to Ted and Josh, the team Jason had at the house to do my bathroom remodel. Jason also came by during the 3wk remodel to check on things and see how everything was going.  Ted & Josh showed up every day and early, 8, 8:30 am, when they didn't have to stop to pick up material purchases at Home Depot or Lowes .  They worked very hard in all that heat!Just a heads up ...the job gets dust everywhere so I pushed all my bedroom furniture together and covered it w/ a very thick tarp to keep dust off my bedding and out of drawers, etc.  I taped my closets shut w/ plastic sheeting and duct tape to keep dust out of them as well. The bathrooms needed a thorough cleaning because of the sealant used on the tile. It leaves a residue and I had my carpets cleaned also because of construction dirt and dust.  The guys put plastic sheeting up the carpeted steps and in hallway into master bathroom, but I felt the carpets needed shampooed when everything was done. Another thing I appreciated was Jason made a follow-up phone call to me the evening of the day the guys finished at the house.  I did have a few questions and some items that required follow-up.  Jason came to the house within a day or two and took care of these matters.  I like the way Jason does business...communication is key and keeps the customer happy in the long run.  It made working w/ Jason and his team so easy!   Another thing I want to mention is that having strangers in your house can be unnerving but Josh and Ted were there to work and I didn't have any trust issues w/ the guys being in my house.  My dog and kids were in and out but my husband and I went to work while the guys were remodeling the bathrooms.  I would definitely recommend J&B Remodeling and design for your remodeling needs."
