"My project went well. I’m a General Contractor and use Custom Contracting’s services often. This project included re doing all of the cornice and siding on a two story home. From tear off to install, everything went very smoothly. Custom has great field management and they are quick to address any issues that typically arise when a job is in production. They are very knowledgeable and helpful in keeping me up to date with what’s going on in their area of expertise and that helps me greatly as a GC. They conduct their business in a professional manner and you can trust that you’ll be in good hands when you choose Custom Contracting for your roofing and siding project."

"From the very beginning, Upgrade Remodeling was incredible for their contacting me fast, having a Project Manager available all the time for questions, scheduling the actual work to be done, a contact between me and the installers...I recommend Upgrade Remodeling to everyone. And the walk-in shower walls, floor, grab bars, and seat are beautiful, too!"

"My kitchen looks great. The counter tops needed replacing, the cabinets were fading and coming off the walls in several places, I needed new appliances, and the walls and cabinets needed new paint and backsplash. Ryan’s remodeling took care of it all, and it looks as good as new! The guy was punctual, knowledgeable, and got it done in a weekend. I would definitely use them again for any other projects I have."

"Mr. Gelardi was very professional, friendly and helpful. He took care of all my handyman needs. He was very punctual and gave me helpful advice regarding a more expensive repair.

We would definitely use him again

The original plan was for Diana Construction to do a full remodeling of my Master Bathroom (MBth), as well as a Half Bath (HBth).  The HBth was so-so in condition to start with, but the MBth had sorely needed help since the day I had bought the place.  I had decided back then that when I did have a remodeling it would have marked improvements for my needs (such as a shower with ceiling-high tile, and doors & shower spray high enough to handle a near 6-ft guy without him having to stoop deeply; this also included new chair-height toilets for comfort).  The DC contractor representative, Pete Rivera, walked me through the separate contracts for both rooms, and using the Angie?s list deal for the MBth.  Later he drew up a similar albeit scaled down version of the contract for the HBth.  I need to repeat here that the original Angie?s List deal was meant for bathroom work, and was so applied to the MBth work.  The upgrades and additional requirements in the MBth were what raised to cost so; also the HBth was done as a completely separate contract.  

1. Master Bath:  The work on the MBth included removal of pretty much everything. The team nicely gutted the place to start from scratch (while carefully remaining within the assigned dimensions of that room, in accordance with strict HOA rules).  The team rebuilt the flooring (set in mortar) to equal the old flooring, and then added a layer of dura-rock (tile backer) for my tub/shower to reach the ceiling (for later installation of the tiles themselves.  After the tiling and painting, a cast-iron tub brought up and installed with a tall set of sliding doors.  To make the bath even more special, I had DC install a niche (also tiled) in the middle of the shower wall.  Great for placing shampoo and other items!  To top it off ? and to assist me in maneuvering in the shower with some stability, Pete added a combination short grab-bar & shelf for bath items. My bathroom now has a vanity sporting a granite top this time, with recessed ceiling lights, a larger custom all-wood medicine cabinet, and an additional larger wooden wall cabinet over the new toilet.  Finally, an old rickety bathroom closet was revitalized with new open shelving plus a built-in cabinet below with its own granite top for show and practicality.  In the end, this bathroom was transformed from the poor example it was.  At a mere 52 sqft, it's not like those huge palatial bathrooms you?d typically see in ads, but the effort done within that fixed space was beautiful to me!

2. Half-Bath:  As described above, the HBth work was a scaled down version of the MBth.  Like the MBth, the DC team installed tiling, fresh paint, and cabinetry (scaled down of course) with a new sink, faucet, mirror, a beautiful lighting fixture and again a chair-height toilet.  I?ll be adding a little set of shelves myself, over the toilet, but this bathroom has turned out to be a pretty little package.

Concluding remarks: When all was done, I now have a gorgeous pair of bathrooms!  I admittedly wasn't thrilled that the final costs incurred were a few factors above the original Angie?s Deal; but I fully understand that this was something to be expected, given the fact that I had tacked on additional work to this contract; plus, I had very much wanted to upgrade the quality of both bathrooms.  So I accepted that some of the items required for this task would not come cheap, but they will in the long run give great value and are built to last (e.g., cast-iron tub beats cheapo fiberglass anytime).  The DC people were doing really hard work (tearing up the old tile and mortared flooring, cutting and setting tiles, and hauling that iron tub up three floors), but all acted like pros.  Pete Rivera proved to be an excellent employer and manager ? smart, experienced, with a good eye for décor, and not afraid to get his hands dirty or banged up.  I am impressed!  In the future, I believe there may come the opportunity for more work on my place ? and so I?ll keep DC on my speed dial (and of course, keep an eye out for any Angie?s List deals for that later day).
