Get matched with top insulation pros in North Braddock, PA

"The insulation in my basement was falling down and in horrible shape. These guys came out removed and installed new insulation the same day! The 2 workers who came out were very polite and thorough!"

"Overall, the team at Exceptional Exteriors were wonderful to work with, and I'm happy with the result.  A few specific things that I appreciated:
- Roman was able to come out and give me an estimate the same day that I contacted him.
- He worked with my budget and expectations, giving me options that would keep my costs where I needed them to be.
- The work on my roof was scheduled quickly (as it was the off-season), but was delayed because of weather on several occasions.  The office team at Exceptional Exteriors kept me updated regularly and were never difficult to reach by phone.
- They provide options for financing and connect you directly with lenders who will be able to best serve you.  (I was connected with a 12 month 0% interest line of credit at Dollar Bank, which was a very simple process.)  If you use their lenders, they are also very accommodating about the timing of the payment and doing the work.  (They had an opening to schedule the work before the financing was complete, but were able to confirm my eligibility for the line of credit and went ahead with the work.)
My ONLY complaint was a small oversight on the part of the office team at Exceptional Exteriors.  While they did such a great job keeping me updated when the work was delayed, the actual day that the workers did arrive, I had no advance notice.  I woke up to see a gentleman on a ladder right outside my bedroom window.  I have a sense of humor and it made for a funny story at work that day, but I would have preferred the opportunity to ensure my curtains were closed.

J and V Roofing has professional and polite crews that know exactly what needs to be done for each step of the job. Owner John Valentino worked along side his crews. They had to work around rainy weather conditions so the job took a bit longer than anticipated.  The time period was 3 weeks.  They made sure the open roof was protected with tarps from rain that occurred at the beginning but wasted no time when the weather broke for the better. The job entailed removing insulation and plaster from the old ceilings of two bedrooms before new insulation and drywall could be installed and painted.  The crew and owner John Valentino checked and measured all beams before new insulation and drywall were installed. They worked carefully to correct or match old angles in the ceiling.  Each crew took care of clearing their mess. There were insulators, carpenters, window installers, dry wallers, sanders and painters. John Valentino was polite, knowledgeable, provided patience and was friendly to our family during the ordeal of renovating, as was his crew.  I would highly recommend J and V Roofing and Home Improvement!  As a side note:  The City of Warren Building Dept. and inspector, however, lacked professionalism.

"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."

"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 offer quality and affordable General Remodeling Services. \n\nIn 1985 after servicing the Pittsburgh area for other vendors for several years. I had the idea that I wanted to provide everyone with a quality and affordable way to repair their homes. Seeing that most people I met had that need, Homes that had repairs that needed done but no one to do them affordably. I branched out on my own and opened William Harris roofing and remodeling. An exterior remodeling company. For years we have held ourselves to the highest standards providing quality craftsmanship and affordability. I ran my business and raised my children. my youngest son was just like me. He loves what we do, he has always strived to help others and learn how to always produce quality. He graduated in 2007. When he graduated we partnered together to create William Harris And Son Renovations. After years we have grown from a exterior remodeling company to a general remodeling company. We do everything but heating and air conditioning. Don't know if we do something just ask. We look forward to changing not only how you feel about fixing your home but how all your future remodeling projects are completed.
