We recently hired Dave to replace exterior loft steps with Trex and to replace/install porch columns and railings, and I couldn't be happier with the results. His attention to detail is unmatched by any contractor I've worked with before. (Owning a 100+ year old house, there have been many!) He communicated clearly throughout every phase of both projects, keeping us informed and involved the entire time. Even when a few minor hiccups came up, he stayed true to the original estimate--despite the work taking longer than expected (through no fault of his own). The craftsmanship is exceptional, and the finished projects look even better than I imagined. We'll definitely be hiring him again for future work. Highly recommend! read more

I heartily recommend 88 Contracting LLC for your home renovation needs. I used them to install new windows in my kitchen. It was a complex job that included opening up thick masonry walls to fit larger windows. David Bintner, the owner, was easy to work with. He was very responsive, honest, communicated well and kept me in the loop through the whole process. His team was very polite and responsible with my property and they cleaned up the job site thoroughly each day. The work was completed on schedule, on budget and I am very, very pleased with the way the windows turned out. I would definitely use their services again. I already have some ideas for more projects... read more

One of the first things I was told is that since I live an hour away I might be subject to extra charges if they happen to forget something for the job and need to go get it. My thought is that if you are professional you won't forget anything and if you do that is on you and not the clients fault. It just got worse from there! The estimate was a solid $6000 charge with no details of cost of materials or labor! Did not and will not do business with such unprofessionals!! read more

Dave provided incredible support during my partner and my first home renovation. He demo'd our bathroom and installed a BEAUTIFUL new floor and shower/wall tile, complete with custom inlets for in-wall shelving. He helped me measure and order shower doors (atypical measurements) and installed them perfectly. He also worked on our kitchen - installing new tile backsplash, mounting a range hood, and installing kitchen cabinets. He took on some even bigger lifts for us as well, like knocking out our rear wall to expand what was once a very small window in the kitchen. We used someone else for drywallers - which we sincerely regretted. However, Dave didn't berate us for a misstep, and instead was eager to come in and fix issues and re-frame every single door, window, and instal new baseboards. Our house isn't perfectly even (very old South Philly home) so his attention to detail for atypical measurements and situations was necessary! Since this initial work, he has ordered and replaced all of our windows and will be coming back in the next couple of weeks to instal our patio fence and new front awning. We have endless projects and there is no one else I'd even consider calling. I've referred Dave to a number of friends and will forever continue to do so. read more

My wife and I had our kitchen remodeled earlier this year. We were originally working with another contracting group who had us order all of our cabinets and fixtures only for them to cancel on us the day before. We were very upset because we live in a small city row home and there was no room for all of these cabinets. Dave was referred to us from a close friend and after a quick phone call, we had a date on the books. Dave and Chris and the rest of his team were awesome to say the least. Timely everyday of the project and produced high quality work. Also very accountable and took responsibility for an issue that was ultimately a manufacturing flaw and not a mistake on his part. We don't have enough great things to say about these guys. We've since had them in for other projects and will continue to do so. We love our kitchen, below are before & after pics. read more

We met Dave from 88 contracting a little over a year ago when our daughter moved into a house in Philadelphia. The house required a good amount of work-he worked with a plumber to do French drains, because of leaks due to sump pumps not working correctly. He put in new flooring and wallpaper. The front door would not open and close completely, and he had to take the door off and do a lot of work to make it close and lock correctly. When we visited again this year, we asked him to come back and build in some shelves, along with fixing multiple doors that were not level and would not close completely. read more

I had some remediation work to be done to part of my house. When Dave came out he found an additional area that needed to be repaired. I approved the work and what was done was outstanding! The finished product was done to my specifications and on time, not to mention Dave and his crew were courteous and professional. I happily recommend him should you need general contracting work done. Thank you Dave! read more

I've worked with Dave on 5 apartment renovations now and he's my trusted partner for carpentry, Chicago grid ceilings, drywall and even teaching me construction skills for tasks I haven't tried before. He's adapted to every surprise we found behind the walls or under the floors once the demo is done. If something goes wrong, he corrects it with no argument. If I need to bring cost down he works with me to find scope I can do myself. Dave is a contractor with integrity, and that's why I trust him with my apartments. read more
