Project Update – July 28, 2025 On July 28, 2025, Shawn Johnston received a phone call from Keystone Remodeling and Restoration Services.

Payment was declined to make any further payment, stating that any miscalculation was the Contractor’s responsibility. It was also noted that the shower was not functional, as the material placed on the pipes had solidified, preventing proper use.

Complaint Summary: • Keystone Remodeling and Restoration was paid for work that included installation of a fully functional shower. • The shower continues to leak and is not functional. • The Contractor has allegedly refused to complete necessary repairs unless an additional $800.00—an amount disputed by the Customer—is paid. • The Customer believes this constitutes an attempt to collect funds not owed and is effectively being “held hostage” for payment. • The Contractor has not provided requested billing documentation from Lowe’s for materials purchased.

Not provided requested receipts or proof of material purchases from Lowe’s. 4. Confirmed on July 25, 2025, that the account was paid in full, then later attempted to alter the final balance. ________________________________________"

"Our backsplash looks amazing. It was done quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Kemery!"

"Have used them several times for carpet installation and tile flooring. Always a good experience. Great products and looks great. Very professional sales people and installers who are quite efficient."

"Happy with service, punctuality, and quality."

"The job went very well and we love how are bathroom has been transformed. Bob made multiple visits to consult on the tile choices and ensure they were prepared for the project. Phil (tile guy) was a true craftsman and took his time to ensure the work was perfect. We wish the same care was taken by all contractors.

"The estimate was provided the same day they came to look at the roof.  The estimate was detailed and easy to read.  Gino kept me informed of all the steps and the work was completed on time.  Very professional.

"Eric repaired existing laminate wood flooring in my Mt Washington condo. Despite weeks of shopping I could not find panels to match and only Eric offered to do the job with the little existing stock we had. He offered to do the job within a week of our first meeting but my wife insisted on trying to find more panels to no avail. Eric showed up a week after we called him back with a very qualified assistant and finished the job within about 4 hours. It is absolutely perfect and he came in at half the price of the other contractor we talked to (the original installer BTW). All I can say is Eric and his company are great. His website says he is out of Indiana PA but he clearly services Pittsburgh."

"We are very happy with the work that they did!"

"They took the roof off the existing garage, set down new floor, built outside walls, strengthened garage to hold addition, shingled roof and sided. They installed new windows and as per our agreement, we are finishing the inside work. The work is top class and his workers were professional and worked from early until late each day. Very happy with work. Would highly recommend this builder. He took care of the plans and the building permit."

"Excellent - I ended up hiring someone to help with shopping and finishing piece - waste of time and money. Jill's service was by far the most useful and best value in my decorating process.
