We had an appointment, David was on time, and made a friendly impression right away…read more After discussing ideas and his measurements were taken, he said it would take two months to gut/redo my 1950's kitchen and update my bathroom. I was expecting a written estimate very soon. After a few days I received a very nice email explaining how David was booked until the end of the year. He must be in high demand. I see no reviews for 2018 and I wondered why? He said to contact him in January if I still wanted him for my kitchen and bathroom remodel.

Hey my last post was taken down. It goes to show that if you tell the truth, it will scare this…read moreguy. So hey, do not go through this company like I did. They will rip you off and not do any work. And then when you take em to small claims they won't pay. Cuz someone is broke and not paying their insurance premiums. I don't know how the truth I spoke on here got taken down but I bet it's because it hit too close to home. Again, use ANY other company unless you want to be swindled out of a crap load of money!!! Wonder why there's only good reviews? The owner flags em so people think this is a good company. It's not. Wish I hadn't gotten mixed up with this place.

Zack and the team at LVL are simply amazing. Our job was extensive- most outfits would say to…read moreextensive. Well the crew from LVL has had our house for two and a half months - it was a transformation from the basement to the roof. It is beautiful. The attention to detail, the quality of the work- it is unbeatable. They put in a new French drain system and properly sealed the entire basement, creating additional living space for our teen girls.They replaced all the uneven floors and made the entire home not only much more functional- but breathtakingly gorgeous. The problem is then the left the house unfinished, never completing it. Six months later- their electrical work caused a house fire. Repeated attempts to rectify the issues failed until the owner of LaVillaLux just stopped talking to us altogether. Not the best way to do business. Really sad at the outcome.

Ask James Contracting did a great job working with us, completing multiple projects at our new…read morehouse. First they did painting for us in multiple rooms, and they were very meticulous. The job was done quickly too. Then, we had had them install engineered flooring in a living room, two bedrooms, and a hallway. As I write this, they are working on the staircase to the upstairs, installing the same flooring there as well. As often happens, there was a mix up in the delivery from the store and there was not enough of the stair nose. James was flexible and was able to come back as soon as the correct pieces were delivered. I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he is doing as well. I recommend James and his crew for similar projects.

Seriously avoid. I don't think he is actually licensed. Had him remove a partial wall which turned…read moreinto a bigger headache and expense than it needed to be. Kept promising that his electrician would show up and never did. But in the end I'm thankful we arrived and realized we needed to put a halt on the work. A corner of a wall was literally just taped instead of making a right angle. Areas that were supposed to be mud were actually spackled which does not fix cracks. He glued wood pieces on my floor and didn't listen to our previous conversation of needing to match the kitchen floor up with the extra in the basement. To add to that I saw one of his "crew" leave with my ladder on my garage camera (came in with no ladder and left with my $100 ladder) I did not confront this until I arrived in person because i was trying to give the benefit of the doubt. It was in my sunroom with all other belongings so they went in there when they should've been no where near there without my permission. James told me he would ask said worker and then radio silence after that. They left a huge mess and was in my floor refinishers way even though I gave clear instructions not to be there at that time (construction dust and floor refinishing don't mix) I'm still mad at myself for being conned. Please don't be desperate for a contractor like I was and check license and bonding prior to your investment and home being worked on.

I had a kitchen remodeler do a real number on my kitchen fireplace tile. It was a disaster. I fired…read morethem and hired Upscale Tile to come undo their work and start over. He did a beautiful job and was a pleasure to work with. A professional and a perfectionist. I had him come back months later to do counter-to-ceiling subway tile in the kitchen. He made cheap box store subway tile look expensive and beautiful. I recommended him to my parents, and their backsplash looks beautiful, too. I will happily hire him again when I'm ready to do the entryway fireplace.

UPDATE 7/7/2017: My attorney served papers in Spring 2017 on this husband/wife Pittsburgh-based…read more"company" (I put that in quotes because it actually is not even a registered business) ("Upscale Tile" aka "Artistik Tile"). Lawsuit filed in Washington County, PA Court. This couple's response is to ignore letters from our attorney served on them by Sheriff. Save yourself the heartache and the money by finding yourself a reputable contractor that gives you a real contract to sign and stands by their work. Don't believe "Upscale Tile / ArtistiK Tile" website that they really care because they really do not. Their emailed offer last year to "replace a few tiles and regrout" was hardly enough to fix the mess they made of my brand new kitchen. (See pictures I posted.). Had three separate contractors come to give written estimates indicating the stone cannot be repaired without cracking and entire large kitchen backsplash plus wallboard must be replaced (or completely sanded down!) at considerable cost to us. Even have statement from the stone tile manufacturer that it is an installation error after this guy tried to blame his crooked installation on tile defects. ORIGINAL POST: Awful backsplash installation in our brand new house in summer 2016. We are just sick...everyone that sees it is horrified. Had to hire an attorney. Don't trust any 5 star reviews on this tile business as they are written by owner's relatives/in laws... We posted pictures of our kitchen backsplash (on Houzz too) which I hope saves others the heartache we have experienced. ***Pictures don't lie...even if contractors do.

Bill and crew did a great job repairing the damage so that the new countertop was able to be installed on time. High quality work completed by a total professional. Highly recommend Bill and his company for any plastering/drywall repair you may need. (next review done by my wife) ...A second time during our kitchen remodel we needed Bill and his crew to repair the ceiling due to lighting upgrades. We have the utmost respect for Bill's skilled craftsmanship. Not only did he repair the ceiling, but was able to masterly replicate the slight texture ceiling pattern blending it in with the original. Our daughter visited and was very impressed with the seamless match. Not only was Bill meticulous in his workmanship, but he and his team applied the same care when working in our home. They placed drop-cloths from the front door all the way into the kitchen, covered the island and used their portable shop-vac to tidy up afterward. We feel extremely lucky to have found such a skilled company!

Can't say enough about this company. We had some insulation work done at our home recently and we…read moreare very pleased with the job. Everyone we had contact with from the first meeting at a home show to the finished product was very professional. They arrived on time, explained every step of the process and did a bang up job of cleaning up when the work was completed each day.

Thanks for a job well done everyone at the Merola Company.

They parged and waterproofed the exterior block walls of my 110+ year old house, reworked spaghetti plumbing and electrical work by the prior owner, replaced plug-in hanging shop fluorescent lights with switched bright LEDs, and put up drywall for a fresh, clean, bright look. They were flexible in adjusting the scope of work and worked to accommodate multiple quirks that we discussed along the way. I really appreciate their thinking of everything and executing every aspect of their plan with exceptional workmanship. Chris, Paul, and their entire crew were a pleasure to have in the house, and I look forward to completing additional projects that we have already discussed and scoped out.
