I paid Jason for gutters windows to renovated my deck and to redo my front brick/granite steps…read more It's been a year and I can report that the gutters leak more than the old ones did, the deck was so hacked together that I've gotten recommendations to take it down and start over from scratch. He had two teams of guys one team did the front steps, they did an amazing job and during the job they found an issue... They fixed the issue and told me about it afterwards... No issues since then they are so nice they make the rest of my walkway look bad. But then he requested that I tell the rest of his laborers that.... I did the stairs with my father.....So that "his guy" didn't know he had someone else do that work. "His guy" did my front door. It was wrong and took 3 tries to get it right. He did my deck and it took 3-4 times to get that.... At least to the point it was safe enough. Posts not close to being straight. Pounds of wood filler in old rotted beams instead of replacing them like we talked about. Brand new decking sticking up an inch in the doorway. Everytime I opened my mouth the only response was "well.... Your house is old". Jesus.... This is why I hired a company called Renovate. I had it out with Jason, he told me not to worry, this guy was done and someone else would be doing the rest of the work. Great... So I left town for business and the day the new guy was supposed to show up my wife texted me to tell me the old guy was here and that Jason told her that he had already talked to me and we were all good to go.... Which wasn't true. By the time I got back to town the windows were half done and I had it out with Jason.... Jason defended his guy by saying he's a "master tiler with XX years of experience". I then reminded him that we weren't doing any tiles. So now it's a year later. One of the windows that was installed is now leaking under the sill into the house and creating water damage. So 10s of thousands of dollars later I have a jacked up deck. Water damage, and gutters that can't catch water and that rattle like crazy anytime the wind blows. All because his master tiler needed the work. I've reached out to Jason today about the water damage because I'm too busy fixing the deck. Hope to hear back from him. I personally think Jason is a nice enough guy but apparently got in over his head at my job. I even told him he needs to charge more and hire better people and stick to only have "his guy" doing tiles. Personally I'd stay away.

Too big a job for a typical handyman (especially the electrical, which required load rebalancing, chargers, and outlets), too small to interest most contractors.

They worked incredibly hard and intelligently, showing up early and working without stopping.

Now I'm concerned about all the other flashing on my roof, that was probably damage during the roof job, that I won't know about until I see the leaks In my house interior.

I've been a Len Gibely customer for years, calling them to take care of various projects. This past…read moreweekend, the roof on the garage began to leak, despite being only 9 years old. Naturally I reached out to Len Gibely. What was their response? "Unfortunately we are not taking on any new roof repairs at this time. We are currently booked 8 months out. Maybe try reaching out to the company that installed your roof?" Ok. So apparently there is a waiting list of people with actively leaking roofs willing to wait 8 months to have them repaired? Len Gibely must have branched out into mold remediation as well as roofing. And as they must surely know, since I've been a customer of theirs for so long, that the 203k construction company that rehabbed the house isn't going to be come back for a roof repair 9 years later - they only do total rehabs. If you want a company you can depend on, look somewhere besides Len Gibley. By the way, what's up with the reversal of the Gibely and the Len?

Finally we had an installation date in November which was canceled with no notice and this cancellation compromised the integrity of my small business.

I had to hire a contractor to complete the job.

I've waited more than a year to post this, and I apologize to anyone who has been scammed by Bruno…read morein the meantime. Bruno may not mean to scam you, but he will take your money and then do nothing for months. He will not apply for permits, and he will tell you your town/city is the problem. He will blame every delay or broken promise on circumstances outside of his own control. During that time, he will use your money to finish his other projects or (probably) pay his other bills. If you ask for your money back, he will tell you he has bought materials but never provide any proof. If you call Bruno out for his poor performance, he will gaslight you and again blame everyone but himself, including you. I decided to work with Bruno despite a few bad reviews. I figured everyone makes mistakes. But when Bruno makes them, he will not make them right. The only reason I have not pursued a lawsuit against him is that lawyers cost money and Bruno has a history of not paying the settlements against him. It's possible that Bruno has improved his business practices in the year since we last interacted, but I wouldn't bet on it. Neither should you.

We bought our home last summer, and we've been living with the work done by D.S. Brody for a year…read morenow, and it's holding up beautifully. When our house was inspected, the inspector told us nearly everything looked fine-- except when he looked into the bathrooms. He peered his head into the downstairs bathroom, turned to us with a distressing grin, and just asked, "You're gutting these, right? To the studs?" The bathrooms had been basically destroyed by water damage and general neglect, so we hired D.S. Brody to gut the bathrooms to the studs, and rebuilt from scratch. Long story short, they did a superb job, came in at just about the price we were quoted despite some "surprises," and were flexible and professional. A year in, I still couldn't be happier with how the work turned out. Specifics: on top of being entirely gutted, the downstairs bathroom needed the toilet and the vanity switched, the upstairs bathroom needed to be extended into a hall closet, and both bathrooms required somewhat finicky tile work to be completed. Furthermore, we discovered that the pipes going from the basement into both bathrooms and the kitchen were not up to date and needed to be replaced in their entirety. We also had Dominique and her crew replace our back door and put in some small shelves in the kitchen. The icing on the cake was that we were out of state for more than three weeks of the work; due to some poor scheduling, first we were in Japan during demolition and early rebuilding, and then we were in Florida during much of the tiling process. Dominique kept in touch regularly and dealt beautifully with our absence, including through the discovery of the bad pipes, a (briefly horrifying) realization that the upstairs of our house was not actually built on a perfect 90 degree angle, and a multi-week delay of our tile shipment. The finished work looks and functions wonderfully, and we've had no problems whatsoever during this past year. I want to commend not only Dominique but also her crew, particularly foreman Obel, who continuously went above and beyond to get things looking and working just right for us. We would absolutely hire D.S. Brody for any further construction we might need, and strongly recommend them to anyone else in the area.

Although the representative of the first roofing service company was very professional and his…read moreproposal very detailed, the estimate from D S Brody & Associate was a little more than half the other price. (Two other companies never responded to my e-mail with needs.) Despite language about my responsibility for additional charges to resolve potential discovery of wood rot, the manager of D S Brody did not charge extra for carpentry in three damaged areas. The team did a great job. Based on a recommendation from a heating service that recently cleaned our heating chimney, I was prepared to have Brody install a metal chimney cap until: that team re-assessed, informed me with a picture of the crumbling top, then the manager recommended two flue pipes embedded with cement as the optimal long term solution. In response to my request, Brody gave a reasonable fixed-price and completed that task within two weeks of the first.
