8 Point Construction & Remodeling Inc

The quality of the project was great. We were pleased with the end result. However, our concern was constantly asking for the money prior to certain portions of the project not being completed. We felt like we were funding some other project. Not a good feel and not professional at all. For that reason, we won't use again.

All plumbing and electrical work was done to specifications. The crew were polite, prompt and worked very efficiently. The plumbing problems were detected immediately and repaired in a timely manner. All electrical repairs were done exactly as requested.

Very well. Matt showed up on time for the initial appraisal and estimate, and followed up with a former bid in exactly the manner and timing that he committed. Once a final price and terms were finalized, everything went exactly as promised. Matt brought samples early in the week, a color and style was selected and a deposit (50%) was paid. He and his crew started on the date and time they were scheduled, and stayed on the project without interruption until completed. There was one small change order at the very end of the project, which was handled professionally and in full consultation with us. Upon completion, cleanup was complete and I could barely tell that anyone had even been there. As an aside, I'd like to make particular mention of the professionalism of Matt and his crew. first of all, he had sufficient staff to handle the project, all were young men. They pretty much worked uninterrupted. My wife, who works at home mentioned that she could hear a radio, but it wasn't overbearing, and that the men talked with one another, but weren't yelling back and forth or using foul language in their talk. Decent behavior should be something that is expected and would go without saying, but I thought it notable given experiences with others.

When I chose to take my kitchen to my new home, I contracted the carpenter who originally designed and built it over 25yrs ago.  Altho he did a remarkable job of adding a few more cabinets to fill the larger space, his health and family issues soon made it clear I would need other help.  So I turned to Angie's list where I found Matt McCune and 8 Points Construction.  Not only did Matt give me full and prompt attention, he gave a carefully thought out bid that included suggestions to finish my ideal kitchen with the least expense.  He worked well with my original contractor, set up a schedule, coordinated all the steps, and provided some really superior, experienced crafts people.
Everyone from his extraordinary carpenter, Pete Carson, to the most meticulous painter I EVER watched, Elaine Castronovo, worked hard to do exactly what I wanted, even though my instructions were "think Rock Pile".  They all did such an amazing job matching in new, functional pieces to the style and color I wanted.  And when I did a Columbo-ish "...oh...just one more thing..."  about a 4-ft spice rack, Matt and the crew were courteous and obliging without hesitation.  I now have a terrific large spice cabinet for little extra money.
At all times 8 Points were courteous, careful and always cleaned up after each phase, treated my family, my home and my dog with great respect.  I'm thinking of finally putting in an entertainment center.  I know EXACTLY who I'm going to call!!
Thank you, Angie's List members, for recommending 8 Points Construction.
And Thank you, 8 Points Construction, for a fantastic job of not only matching my existing kitchen, but making it everything I'd envisioned.   I'm too happy for more words.

The doors are hung beautifully!  They look like they were always a part of the house.  I can't even tell that the moulding was removed and replaced.  I am so pleased with the work . The guys were very nice and professional as well.  The price was very reasonable for the work that was done.  The next time I need any contracting work done, I will definitely be contacting 8 Point Construction!

I had a very positive experience with 8 Point.  Matt came provided a written estimate via e-mail first.  When I had additional questions he came to my house and looked at everything in person.  The work was started on the windows shortly after they came in.  Took 1 day and they had all the windows replaced.  Since it was absolutely freezing out I agreed to wait on having the flashing done until it warmed up a bit.  Once it did the flashing was completed in one day while I was at work.  After the job was complete Matt came back to make sure that it was done to my satisfaction.  Everything was done correctly and neatly and my house was treated with respect.  You can tell they take pride in their work.  
I wholeheartedly recommend this company and hope to use them in the future when I need work done again.

Matt and his brother Jesse at 8 Point Construction did an amazing job on a full gut renovation.  Extremely concerned with client's satisfaction.  They took pride in creating the final product and often went well beyond what was expected in quality and design.  Most of the problems that were encountered, they handled themselves and I didn't even know it was a problem until after it was fixed.  The only negative comment I have is that the project went beyond the expected schedule.  However, it was a massive project and some delays are to  be expected.  I know that they did everything they could to complete as close to on-schedule as possible.

My friend and I recently purchased a 3-story home in the Southside area of Pittsburgh with the intention of eventually renting it out as a 3-bedroom apartment (2 bedrooms on the second floor and 1 bedroom on the third floor). However, it was going to be difficult to market it as a true 3-bedroom apartment because you had to walk through one of the rooms on the second floor in order to access the stairwell to the third floor. So we hired Matt (i.e. 8 Point Construction & Remodeling, Inc.) to come in and build a divider wall in that room, which created a separated hallway that residents/occupants could use to access the third floor without having to walk through someone else's room. 8-Point Construction & Remodeling, Inc. did an incredible job! They were timely in their communication with me, the job was completed in the estimated time frame, and best of all they offered me an incredibly low price (compared to other contractors I had reached out to for the same job)! I would highly recommend 8-Point Construction & Remodeling, Inc. ANYDAY!

8 Point Construction - Matt, Mike, Tom, John and all - Very good job.  It's amazing.  
We have a 100 year old house, with a very small bathroom. The plan was to push the wall back 3 feet taking space from the walk-in closet/integral bedroom behind it.  This also involved moving the attic access which was in that space.  From quote to demolition to finished product - everything went very well.  Even when we ran into other issues, everything was taken care of.  Communication was great.  Phone calls and emails were answered in a timely manner.  Every morning, the guys would show up at 7 am (punctual) and meet with me to tell me what was planned for that day, and then I would leave for work.  When my husband got home at 3:30, they would talk to him, telling him of any issues.  Every day it was cleaned up before they would leave.  As this is our only bathroom, Matt and the crew worked with us to make sure we at least could use the toilet through the entire project. The entire room was demolished, wall removed, fixtures gone, and all the old plaster taken away. Attic access was covered over and moved to another room.  Pocket door installed giving me way more room.  New wiring, new plumbing (correcting an existing problem with drainage) and ceramic tile floor and shower/tub ceramic tile were installed.  They even did a great job matching the woodwork in the new bathroom to the existing house, making it look great!!  The stain matches and everything.  We are very pleased with the finished product (even my husband who didn't see why we needed it in the first place).  LOL, now on to the KITCHEN!!

Showed up on time. Removed old tub surround and floor, sanded, installed ceramic tile and new floor, exhaust fan, and sink and cabinets.

Matt from 8 Point Construction is fantastic. Excellent communication, very skilled and creative, high attention to detail. Very reasonably priced. Keeps project clean. Courteous crew. Don't waste Matt on your small, easy handyman project!! He gave us our dream kitchen. They worked from 9/1/2013 to 10/1/2013.

Excellent.  Good, free estimate.  On time.  Good materials, excellent employees.  Attention to detail.  High quality craftsmanship.  

I can't say enough positive things about 8 Point Construction.  From the estimate through the final touches, Matt was friendly, responsive, and made my husband and I feel comfortable.  We have never hired a contractor, so we had a lot of questions, and Matt was very patient with us.  He came out at our request before the job began to discuss details, and was communicative about the start date and duration of the project.  Once the project began, he arrived every morning and briefed us on what would be done that day.  We threw some curveballs at him with last minute requests and add-on work, and he exceeded our expectations.  He really aims to give his clients everything they want.  I am extremely pleased with the quality work he and his crew completed at my house.  I would hire him again without question and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a contractor.

He seemed to be professional and showed up on time.

It is my pleasure to provide my highest possible recommendation for Matt McCune, Jessie McCune and everyone with 8 Point Construction.  I had over a dozen various contractors on this job at one point or another and 8 Point was THE BEST by far!
This exterior cladding project was very complex and required close coordination with architects, custom metal fabricators, scaffolding suppliers and MFG representatives for James Hardie and Nichiha building products.  The exterior cladding system(s) utilize cutting edge, novel rain screen technologies and require very close attention to detail.  8 Point was very quick to grasp a full command of installing these complex systems.
Matt & Jessie took the time to ensure that all 8 Point employees were fully trained and highly competent in every respect.  Matt met every construction milestone in a timely, professional manner and within budget.  He consistently monitored and directed the performance of all workers to ensure the highest quality work under VERY challenging and VERY detail oriented circumstances.  Matt & Jessie always had a well reasoned plan to over come project obstacles in the most efficient manner possible.  I would not hesitate to 8 Point Construction for ANY project.     

8 Point Construction & Remodeling Inc. are fabulous. They do a great job and they show up when they say they would. They are very good. Their price is reasonable.

Start to finish the work was completed by a professional group of workers.  Matt has a great eye for the spatial picture.  He was able to look over the area we needed work done in, and come up with a plan that used the space in a very workable way. It allowed for more space to be available thereby making the area much more comfortable and welcoming.  Adding a bulkhead, as he did, will provide us the opportunity to display my wife's Aunts various plates, that she so loves.  He listened to our suggestions and incorporated them as best he could, while explaing the why for's and why not's as to the possibility of being able to perform the suggested work.  The crew is very professional, friendly and hardworking.  We have 2 dogs and everyday the crew ALWAYS greeted the dogs in a very friendly manner and made the dogs welcome, never slighting the dogs in any way.  That was very important for us, as our dogs are our kids. Outside of a few minor nicks and such, the verbalized plan came to life.  The only things that I have found in need of touch up were a corner of a new flooring installed popped up, and one of the TV cable outlets will not allow us to use TV via that outlet.  He has agreed to fix the problem when we have his crew perform another job for us in the near future.  The corner of the flooring was corrected quickly after it was brougth to Matt's attention.  We also had his crew install a new exterior door near the room just renovated, the storm door closes correctly now, after years of thestorm door not closing properly.

Horrible!

I would not recommend this crew for any big projects, stick to hanging doors and painting!

We had them remodel our kitchen and lay tile from the entry way through the house and their attention to detail and overall quality is lacking.

- the 12"x24" porcelain tile is layed out of level from tile to tile.
- they installed the kitchen cabinets were out of level noticable to the naked eye and only corrected once I confronted them.
- their wiring skills are lacking. Look up into my basement rafters and entry into the fuse boxes and it looks like spaghetti. (the wiring for dummies book in your tool box did not build any confidence on my end guys!)
- the fume hood they installed was not centered between the cabinets and the hole they ran the electrical through is showing.

When I confronted them about issues like the cabinets being out of level they got aggressive and wanted me to pay to fix them??

Looking back I should have completed this project on my own but my time was limited and I did not want it to span more then a month or so. Everything I look into I find that it was half assed and not done correctly.

I guess you get what you pay for! Cheap work is not good and good work is not cheap. My mistake, it will never happen again!

Don't give these boys more then they can bite off, you will be disappointed.

Installed new interior front door.  New door was shorter than original opening so framed down.  Redid framing and drywall.

We had water damage in the kitchen ceiling from a leak in the bathroom upstairs. Matt came within 24 hrs of our phone call and had an estimate for us the same day. The work was exceptional and done in a professional  and timely manner. I had them eventually paint the entire kitchen and the work again was exceptional. I am going to have them remodel my bathroom and several other future projects. i would recommend 8 point Construction for any building and remodeling needs. This is truly a standout company.

Everyone at 8 Points was very prompt, professional and attentive to details.  They provided their services at a reasonable cost. They were willing to take on a job which involved a lot of varying tasks.   I would recommended 8 Points Construction.

It went well. Including when we changed our minds about the wall color. We were well pleased. and would recommend the company again.
