We supplied our own composite materials (i.e. Azek) and they supplied the rest. The first day of demo we were charged over $800 for labor and materials. They were at our home for about 3 hours. I paid without hesitation and even gave one of the workers an old bike I had in our garage for his kid. They seemed like nice, honorable guys. I expressed concern at one point during the work when I noticed that the cuts the worker had made were not straight. He informed me not to worry and that, "it will be seamless" once finished. On the last day of the job, I spoke with the admin assistant who informed me that my bill had increased by $800-$1,000 above the quoted estimate. This was news to me and I told her I would like an itemized receipt to account for all costs. A general receipt for "labor" and "wood" was sent to me. There was no itemization at all. Considering we supplied the vast majority of materials, I still have no idea what we were actually charged for. At completion of the work, I was immensely disappointed and could not believe the workers were telling me this was a finished job. For starters, my post now hangs over the decking on one side (see photo). Additionally, their cuts were crooked, their corners not square, and they tried to make up for their poor craftsmanship by filling in with caulk. They also removed our railing and left the post where it was attached unfinished, with a screw hanging out. See photos below for details. I refused payment at completion and called the owner (Jeremiah) to come take a look and help me resolve the issues. I sent him photos and he came to my home with one of his seasoned carpenters to review in person and determine a resolution. At first both men began defending the work, but ultimately it was clearly indefensible and they finally agreed to repair at no additional cost. We all agreed piece by piece which items needed to be repaired and replaced. It was the majority of the job. When they left, we had agreed that his seasoned carpenter would return to repair the shoddy work and that I would pay the remaining balance in full so long as the job was done satisfactorily. We did not agree on a timeline however, and I did not hear from Jeremiah again until over 3 weeks later (?) when I contacted him to inquire about when I might expect work to begin. At this point, Jeremiah's story had changed, and he was no longer agreeing to repair the job unless I paid in full up front. I told him that this was ridiculous because then I would have no guarantee that the job would be done well. He stood his ground and informed me that I "could not be trusted" to pay. I then offered to pay half of the balance with the rest at completion, to which he declined and continued to insist on payment in full before sending anyone for repairs. Since there was no way I could rely on a job well-done based on the first go-around, we decided to part ways. Now I am $800 in the hole, plus the $800 in materials we supplied that were ruined, and still do not have a porch!!! This business cannot be trusted, does not guarantee its work, is unprofessional, and in my opinion, is run by a shyster. I mean I could have written a poor review based on the extra $1,000 they tried to charge me, but their craftsmanship and unreliability are the most shocking. I am disgusted.

What a wonderful experience! From start to finish Jay was attentive, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. He responded to my request for an estimate in 10 minutes and was out at the house the next day. The quote came that evening and we were off and running. In addition to painting, I needed some carpentry work done and a storm door installed. Paint: Jay and his team took the time to power wash, sand and caulk, getting all of the old paint chips and filling cracks in the old wood. A primer and two top coats later and here we are! Carpentry: Many of our siding shingles needed to be replaced. In addition, all of the corner trim boards around the detached garage as well as some of the trim boards around the second story windows were rotted and were also replaced. I had a hole into the attic that he also patched up. No more birds in the house! Finally the rear of our detached garage had some rotted boards along the groud and Jay's team took care of that too. Rear storm door: completely replaced with the board underneath replaced as well. Summary: I asked a lot of Jay and his team. He set expectations and followed through on work that was promised. He was a pleasure to work with. I was very pleased with the price and overall it was a great experience. People in the neighborhood have taken notice and love the way the house looks! Thanks Jay! read more

We hired Genius Cleaning Solutions and the owner Jay and Veronica for a rental house we purchased that needed an extreme amount of work from wall repair, interior and painting and a deep cleaning including grout cleaning and carpet, which is hard to find all within one company, pretty much and entire interior renovation. They have exceeded our expectations! Especially during a pandemic, they came gave a quote and Facetimed us for the quote walk thru, since we couldn't have met them in person. This company was on the slightly higher end on quotes that I did receive; however, they truly are the complete package and can do everything! The customer service direct communication and professionalism that Jay gave was excellent. The work they both did exceeded our expectations, and we WILL be using them again for home cleaning services at the very least since they offer that on a week, bi-weekly, monthly basis as well. There truly isn't anything they can't do. I highly recommend them and will use them again. They are worth the higher price for the pristine work they do. read more

I moved to New Haven in August, and my apartment was... let's just say it was not left in move-in condition. But, as soon as I moved in, I had school, work, and tons to do, and I just kindof put my head down and ignored it. Finally, after trying to take care of it bit-by-bit, I could take it no more, and after getting ghosted by a couple services, I found Genius cleaning. Jay and Veronica made an appointment, did a walk through and gave me a written quote, and we made an appointment for their "deep clean." They just left and I couldn't be happier. Every surface looks clean, smells clean, and suddenly my place has gone from, "well, that's just what I get for going back to school, crappy grad school housing" to "wait, I could actually have a home here!" It was *bad* and they didn't complain, just worked until it was lovely. We're going to try every other week, and see how it goes. I am optimistic. I would heartily recommend them to anyone who needs housecleaning. read more

They did an INCREDIBLE job cleaning our new house! I had originally book Amazon's cleaning service and received NIGHTMARE service. I called Genius at the last minute and they came and stayed very late until my entire new home was spotless. There was not one thing that I could point out to ask them to touch up. They thought of everything and brought all of their own cleaning supplies and tools. Genius Cleaning was incredibly professional, and competitively priced. I plan to treat myself to a monthly cleaning and if there is any outdoor power washing needed down the line we will be using them! read more
