Sean and his crew are exceptional people, very professional, excellent craftsmen, and great to have around. They completed the project (converting empty space above my garage into living quarters) on time and were very accommodating with requests and project plans. Highly recommend Sean and his team.

Sean and his partner Clarenceare very competent craftsmen dedicated to excellence and are like family, having known and worked together much of their professional life, and they higher and manage good speciality contractors. They encountered many challenges in the old construction which they resolved with resourcefulness and completely to our satisfaction. They are friendly and caring. The finished apartment is a work of art and we feel fortunate. In SLW we benefitted from a high-end builder but at an average price. SLW Construction has the high principles, competency, dedication and fair prices of small town businesses of the mid-twentieth century when quality of life was greater.

Everything looks absolutely gorgeous! Finishing work had great attention to detail. Plumbing was corrected to make our chosen bathroom fixtures work for the space. Drywall, paint, ceilings, floors, new french door to outside, new siding and paint outside, new covered porch, all done with professional timing and attitude. They worked with us and gave helpful suggestions and even fit in extra projects along the way. Would definitely hire them again!

They did a very good job. The quality of the work was good even with the subcontractors he used. We wish the billing was more transparent but other than that, they were good.

Service Provider Response

Interesting how 5 years ago when the job happened Ms. [Member Name Removed] rated the experience as "A". The "work completed" date is wrong, as is the scope of work. We "gutted" the entire interior of the home, installing new electrical (including a whole house generator), plumbing, HVAC, insulation, windows and ext. doors, added closets, removed interior walls to open the floorplan, drywall, trim, paint, refinished all floors, new kitchen and bathrooms, and replaced the roof. The custom cabinetry and stone countertops, along with the bathroom's soaker tub, handicap shower, & heated tile floor were really impressive. When Ms. [Member Name Removed] listed the home for sale last year, the first people to look at it purchased it immediately for her listed price.

Sean Wright was always professional, prompt, courteous, friendly, and very helpful. I was not sure of some things I wanted to do and Sean made suggestions of various options I had not thought of, then talked through the pros and cons of each idea until I came up with a decision of what would work best for me and what I wanted to accomplish. This was invaluable in helping me manage the costs. The work he and his team did was excellent quality and they cleaned up every day before they left, and made it as easy as possible for me to live in the house while it was being renovated/remodeled. The subcontractors were also good for the most part. The plumber and HVAC people were competent and completed their work in a timely manner and the pricing was reasonable. The cabinet maker was excellent. He built custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets to my design and measurements and installed them for less than half what Lowes had quoted for similar cabinets and they look great. The electrical contractor, Kennedy Electric did good work but the price was twice what I had expected and took months longer than it should have. I would not hesitate to recommend SLW for any size construction or remodeling job. I will be contacting them again later in the summer for some work on the exterior of the house.
Description of Work
Did complete interior renovation of my home which was built in 1930 and had not been updated in over 20 years. I was living in the house while it was rebuilt basically from the outside walls in. All old paneling, drop ceilings, drywall, insulation, plumbing and electrical was removed and hauled away. The old small bath was converted to a half bath, and the previous porch converted to a new full bath. Another porch was converted to a breakfast room and laundry room. This required raising the floor on one porch by 2 inches and replacing the joists and subfloor on the other. New wiring, plumbing, HVAC ductwork, insulation, drywall, kitchen vinyl flooring, ceramic tile bath floor and tub surround, new kitchen cabinets and countertops, replacing old wood windows, and refinishing the original heart pine floors in the living, dining, hall, and both bedrooms. They also had to rework the aluminum siding around the windows and new electric service into the house.
