I noticed that Kevin Phillips Roofing responds quickly on Yelp, and had great reviews. Sure enough, after contacting him, he messaged me in about five minutes. He came out the next day, and replaced all of the gaskets around the roofing vents. He showed me a before and after picture of the gaskets. He surmised that a squirrel could have chewed into the gasket, trying to get into our house. I think that he is right, because other neighbors have squirrels in their attic. He is a nice guy, very professional, timely in his response and does not cost you an arm and a leg. I would hire him again in the future!

Kevin came out and looked at my unique synthetic cedar roof for a failing ridge vent solution. He…read morecontacted me a few days later with a solution and put me on his schedule, 2 weeks later the roof was repaired. A few important things to note: 1: Kevin got back to me within hours from my initial request. 2: He followed up with me in the timeframe he said he would. 3: He showed up on the agreed upon day and completed the job without any issues. These things might seem trivial but when dealing with any kind of contractor today, these are rare traits. I will definitely call Kevin for any future roofing jobs.

I have been working with Ed and Kirbi construction since moving to Philadelphia in 2005. I had work…read moredone on 2 primary residences as well as 2 investment properties. His team has worked on projects ranging from minor upgrades to a house like light fixture replacement to complete kitchen renovation and powder room construction. At every step of the way, Ed worked with me within my price points and made sure that corners were never cut with finishing materials or project completion. The few times that I needed some adjustments and changes, his team was back immediately to make sure that I had exactly what I wanted. As someone who struggles with some decisions, Ed was patient and understanding while guiding me to what I was looking for. Even when Ed is not there, he has amazing supervisors on site and I have never had to question whether my house will be treated with respect and the care of Ed's own home. The house is actually even cleaner when the team leaves than when they arrive. I cannot recommend Kirbi Construction enough if you want something done correctly, especially if you want to add value to your home.

Ed and his crew recently found a leak under my roof deck that another roofer was unable to isolate…read more He repaired the leak and installed a fiberglass deck. He also painted the exterior of my house. He talked me through several options for replacing my deck. We also discussed several design aspects of the deck along the way. He was thorough and responsive. His guys cleaned up each day before they left; they were polite and great to work with. Ed takes great pride in his work and is responsive to questions and concerns.

They replaced my oil heater with a gas furnace four years ago, and the savings have been incredible. I used to spend over $800 per month in the winter heating my 1,200 sq. ft. home in Bala Cynwyd with oil. After switching to natural gas, I've saved over $600 per month during the heating season. The installation was clean, professional, and completed in a single day. Since then, they have also serviced my central air conditioner twice, quickly diagnosed the issue, and fixed it the same day. Reliable service, real savings, and great people to work with.

DO NOT use this company. I was looking to replace my old…read morefurnace before it gave out on me in dead of winter. This company (I worked with the owner, Art) was recommended to me by a friend who had a good experience so I decided to use them. The brand new furnace broke down in less than 24 hours!! The thermostat shut off completely and there was a leak in the newly installed pipes. They came out the next day to "fix" the problem. A little over 24 hours later, it stops working again!! I called as soon as I realized what was going on at 2 am but heard nothing. I then proceeded to call all 3 numbers listed for the company and sent text messages throughout the day without a single response until 7:30 pm! By this time the temperature had dropped to 58 degrees inside my house and I left a message informing Art of this but that was not enough to get me a call back let along a service call. I had to call another company to do an emergency call and pay $120 to get some heat, which ended up cutting off again in the middle of the night. The next morning Art sent me a text (he did not even have the decency or respect to call me) stating he would be coming over later that day, when I pressed him and asked when exactly, he told me he would come sometime after lunch when the snow stopped (did I mention that it was snowing and was below freezing at times and he saw no problem with delaying the service call until it was convenient for him, despite me reminding him that I have an infant in the house). When he finally came he offered no explanation or apology for failing respond to an urgent situation since the day before. When I pressed the matter he just said nonchalantly that his phone wasn't working the day before. Art is very responsive when he wants to get the job and to get your money but fails to follow through once he has your money, and he shows no remorse. Again, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

He didn't answer and never called me back. the unprofessionalism is unbelievable. don't advertise free estimates if you don't like doing them. also have friends and clients that live in the area that need roofing services, I will absolutely tell them to pass on these guys.

My wife and I recently had to replace both our roof and our gutters. We started researching…read moredifferent companies in early January. After having seven different companies come out and provide estimates, we decided to go with Fletcher. Mr. Fletcher was a professional and managed to complete our roof right on his estimated number. The team he employs worked quickly and efficiently. When they left, all of the debris was cleaned up and taken away. I highly recommend Fletcher brothers roofing and siding. However with that being said I would not recommend them for gutters. Mr. Fletcher outsources the gutters to an outside company and their work was nowhere near as excellent as Fletcher Bros. When I brought up my concerns to Mr. Fletcher he immediately had the gutter people out to correct the issue.

We hired Keith Green Construction to put on a first-floor master bedroom suite for us. From the…read morefirst meeting with Keith, he truly listened to what we wanted and what was most important to us in this room. He came up with a great floor plan and accommodated any changes we wanted to make during the process. I can't stress enough what a great experience it was to work with Keith and his crew. He kept us informed of the work schedule and kept that work schedule moving along. Even with some delays of materials that we needed, he proceeded with other areas to keep the job moving. His crew and subs were outstanding. At the beginning he gave us a detailed quote and payment schedule. He kept within that budget, except where we got a little more extravagant. Knowing that the budget was set made this a very stress free process. There were no financial surprises. I would highly recommend Keith and would definitely hire him again. Jim and Donna Miller

I contacted three companies to give me estimates on paining half of the rooms in my house and the…read moreshed out back. All three companies gave cost estimates very close to the same amount. My 65 year old row home had wall paper to remove, cracks to fill and newly installed quarter round to caulk and seal. Not an easy job because of all the prep work to be done. The guys who walked through my house from AKF exuded confidence at every turn, making me believe they were experienced dealing with the challenges they would face, so I hired them. They asked for a 50% deposit which gave me some concern. I should have negotiated that down to a lower amount. They said they could finish in 4 days. Day one was all about wall paper removal. They finished that very quickly, then the guys left after being there only a few hours. On day 2, I expected a lot of surface prep with a steam machine to melt away glue residue and a longer presence, a full day of work. I was minding my own business and didn't see what they were doing until they had left for the day, again they were only there about a half day. I went through the house and found a lot of walls had been painted without any effort to remove glue. They had left for the day left before I saw the results of their work. For no good reason at all, baseboards and the new quarter round I just had installed, had been removed from the main floor all around. There was paint on unprepared walls and a lot of cracks had been painted over with no spackle, so they showed through the paint. I messaged the owner of the business and sent a lot of pictures and expressed my concern as I had made a 50% deposit. To their credit, they sent a different crew and the owner came to the site herself. They started removing glue with the right equipment and made a point of showing me the results periodically. They went through the house and were doing surface prep at some areas that were missed previously. It's really hard to fix something that was not done correctly from the start but they were determined and pressed forward. The work went on for over a week. The end result was something that looks decent from a distance but if you inspect closely there are still a lot of flaws. Un-sanded spackled areas mostly on ceilings, old cracking paint that was not scraped or smoothed, just painted over, and cut in areas at wall to ceiling corners where coverage was not good if you look closely under bright lighting. They hired my handy man to fix the baseboards because apparently they know how to remove it, but were not equipped or prepared to reinstall it. There were several broken pieces needed replacing and I already had some spare. That baseboard work wasn't finished when they declared the project complete. I walked through the house again taking pictures of flaws. They returned again and worked to improve things, and they did make it look better, covering most of the flaws from my photographs. The owner really cares about their reputation and tried very hard to make sure I was satisfied. They also gave me a discount because there were so many problems but that was a small consolation. The project took way longer than advertised and got off to a very rocky and unprofessional start. I expected better overall performance for the money paid. I would hire them again if it was for a rental property and no difficult surface prep to do, but this project was to prepare my home to be sold. If my untrained eye can see flaws, then any perspective buyer will also see those things. I hoped for better. Although I accepted the job as completed, the end results were just OK.

Ed Trevisani (owner of the company) far exceeded our expectations. He took the architect's blue…read moreprint and proceeded to work with the township and his team to tear off the upper half of the house (upper duplex unit) and rebuild it into a far better building than was there previously without damaging the lower half of the house (lower duplex unit). He did a phenomenal job of removing the upper half of the house, having a new half of a house framed on top of the lower section. He worked closely with my wife and I in the design of the unit, selection of materials (flooring, cabinets, countertop, lighting, etc.). My wife is very particular, and Ed did a great job of working with her to select colors and material that was both cost effective for a rental unit, is durable and looks current. Ed also worked on making improvements in the lower unit that is older. He managed the electrical re-wiring, code upgrades, redesign of the kitchen, replacement of ceilings, floor. He also took the initiative to have his team clean out the basement as I discussed with him my desire to clean it out when I visited the construction site. The basement was cleaned out and he made a number of surprise improvements to the basement. He installed multiple fluorescent lights to brighten up the basement, put down interconnected rubber mats to make is easy for the future tenant to go from the bottom of the basement steps to the washer and dryer, moved the washer and dryer to a location in the basement that was brighter and had greater head room clearance (previously you had to duck under an air duct pipe), he moved the hot water heaters to make them more efficient getting hot water to both upstairs units. Ed also surprised us by replacing the traditional lights in the front and back of the house with LEDs. These were pleasant surprises and improvements that Ed did without charging us additionally. I could go on sharing was a great experience it was working with Ed. This was a big project and with my wife and I living out of town, it takes a lot of trust and communication. I can only restate that Ed exceeded our expectations and we have a newly built upper duplex unit (2 bedroom and one bath) and a greatly improved lower unit duplex (also 2 bedroom and one bath). My wife and I are happy to be a reference and share pictures.
