I tried to post this review on Angie's list, but they don't accept negative reviews. I hired Cole…read moreHutton several month ago to paint the main floor and a hallway with the staircase in my townhouse. His price was high, but he was available right away and had recommendations. We agreed on the price and the scope of work and I left for 2 weeks. In about one week Cole told me that the work is finished. When I came back I found trash on the floor, partially covering paper on the floor and an open bag of trash sitting in the middle of the dining room. HVAC Registers and outlets covers still laying of the floor, paint on my bathroom sink, unfinished baseboards, cracks and sloppy painting over the dust and hair on the baseboards, railings, built in shelves, and doors. The hardwood floor had large visible stains that weren't there before. On the top of that Cole send me unexpected $500 invoice claiming that he had to paint the crown molding extra coat, which is a scam. When I addressed these problems to Cole he told me that I have to pay him extra $500 on the top of $4500 that we agreed. Also, he assured me before the work started that he would warn me in writing if any additional work would be needed (I have his e-mail). We went through every detail twice before he started. In his new invoice he added extra coat for the crown molding and the things that we already discussed, which was part of the original deal (take down an old chandelier and the speakers, etc). He said it's $1000 more, but he gives me a discount to $500. This is just a scam for more money. Cole did not prepare the walls for painting. He simply painted over the dust and debris that where on the walls and along the baseboards. It looks horrible! He didn't fix all the deficiencies and I ended up cleaning after him. The floor is ruined with large stains from the paint and probably the tape. Cole blamed another worker who worked upstairs in a bathroom, but that guy didn't use any paint. The floor is not scratched, it is stripped by a paint dissolvent and a taping scotch. Also, they used my vacuum cleaner and washed brushes in my bathroom sink instead of the utility sink in the garage. I can see the blue paint on my sink. Cole told me to scrape it off with my fingers. Cole, why don't you use your fingers. I don't think I should be scraping off the paint on my sink after I paid you $4500.

I hired Simple Fix Home Repair and Remodeling for two large projects and unfortunately had a very…read morefrustrating experience from start to finish. For the first project, they removed and rebuilt a set of egress steps at the rear of a duplex. I provided professional drawings, site plans, and had already requested the permit through the City of Pittsburgh, so expectations were clear from the start. Communication throughout the project was extremely poor. I consistently had to chase down Brad, the project manager, just to get basic updates. He would often respond saying he needed to check with Tyler (the onsite worker), but then I would have to follow up again to actually get any answers. There was no proactive communication, and workers would often show up without notice, which made managing the project unnecessarily stressful. Quality of work on the first project was also disappointing. During the final inspection, several items did not pass. One of the required fixes was to apply silicone between the new deck and the house. The result was shockingly sloppy--silicone was smeared across the wood in multiple areas instead of being neatly applied where needed. It honestly looked like it was done with no care or attention to detail. The second project involved multiple items identified on a borough inspection report, including building a deck, installing handrails with baluster guards, replacing floor jacks with mono columns, and installing a condensate pump to eliminate a PVC drain line that was a tripping hazard. Unfortunately, the same issues continued--and in some cases were worse. The scope of work was clearly defined in the inspection report, yet key items were done incorrectly. For example, the existing basement pipe handrails were removed as requested, but instead of installing code-compliant handrails with baluster guards, they installed simple wood handrails without any baluster protection. Similarly, they were instructed to replace floor jacks with permanent mono columns. Instead, they initially installed new floor jacks again. After I raised the issue, they returned to install mono columns--but even then the work was not done correctly. The posts were installed with undersized screws at the top and were not bolted to the floor at all. When I questioned this, Brad responded that drilling bolts into the concrete might cause it to "blow apart" and said I would need to sign off on any risk if they proceeded. This was not an acceptable solution. I ultimately had to hire another contractor to properly secure the posts with appropriate fasteners and anchoring. A few weeks later, another serious issue surfaced: the condensate pump had been wired incorrectly into the furnace circuit board. I had a licensed HVAC company come out, and they confirmed and documented the improper installation. In addition to the workmanship issues, there are still unfinished items. When the deck was built, piles of dirt were left in the backyard with the promise they would return to clean it up. That has still not been completed. Between the lack of communication, repeated mistakes, incomplete work, and the need to hire additional professionals to correct their errors, this was a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend Simple Fix Home Repair and Remodeling based on the quality of work and overall project management.

I purchased my first house and decided to have a new roof installed, as the current one was nearing…read morethe end of its lifespan but could have lasted a few more years. I reached out to 5 different local roofing companies big and small. Several sat me and my wife down, showed us prices ranging from 20-30k for just the roof, used fear and other emotional tactics to try and convince us we desperately needed a new one, showed us powerpoint slides of their business and tried negotiating on the spot to get us to sign a contract right then and there while they were in our living room (one company very much overstayed their welcome even when we were trying to get them out the door as it was past our daughters bedtime). Craig Gouker Roofing did none of the above. They came, did an inspection, let us know what options there were and what financing options there were. They didn't try to sell us or upsell us and they left. We received our estimate and it came in at less than half the cost of the BIG companies and about a quarter less than the other local companies. We took a few days to look over our options all while several of the companies kept calling us to keep checking in and further negotiate. Again, Craig Gouker Roofing didn't do that. It's the only roofing company I saw that had positive reviews on both google AND yelp. Nobody goes to yelp to leave positive reviews! We not only decided to go with them for the replacement, but we decided to have our gutters replaced as well. Not because they told us to, in fact, they didn't even mention them. I wanted them replaced and even WITH the gutters included it was still cheaper than the other bids for JUST the roof replacement. As for installation, it was extremely smooth. It was about a month before we were scheduled, but immediately when they arrived, the foreman let me know how long he expected it to take, what it would look like and what they would do. I mentioned a few requests that weren't discussed previously and he was happy to oblige. Overall the entire job took 2 and a half days even with one of those days unfortunately turning into a flash flood situation. They cleaned up extremely well, were courteous to our neighbors in terms of where they parked their vehicles (most houses on my street do not have driveways) and communication was phenomenal. I believe in "show, don't tell" and Craig Gouker Roofing very much does that. They clearly are confident in their quality and work, and rightfully so. They respected my time, my choices and especially my money. When the work was completed, the final bill was almost a complete 1 to 1 of the estimate. (we ended up having about $1000 worth of additional wood needed due to the condition of the roof, which tracks and was legitimate) Overall the roof and gutter replacement ended up being about 18k. This was a first time experience for me and I very much appreciate how easy and smooth they made it. I could not recommend them enough.

First, I contacted our tile manufacturer to get contractor recommendations, as I had previously hired a company that specialized in tile roofs, but that had not done a good job for us. The fact that Rick John was among the names provided by Ludowici said a lot to me. Second, when Rich came to the house, he took time to understand what our situation was, and he even flew a drone so he could get a closer look at the roof to help assess and map out next steps. As opposed to a project price, Rich proposed an hourly rate for the work. I was very skeptical, because I felt like I was giving them a blank check, and I had no idea how much the project would ultimately cost. In the end, however, I see that he was trying to be fair to both of us. His team worked diligently and efficiently, and I feel that the final price was very fair. Third, when Nick came on site to do the work, he was an absolute gentleman and professional. He was engaging, and took time to update me on what he was finding, and listened thoughtfully as I provided additional information on the issues we had been experiencing. He treated my home and me with the utmost respect, and he clearly takes pride in doing excellent work. Overall, Rick John provides something that is hard to find in the residential construction industry - - a honest, professional, trustworthy partner. I highly recommend them, and I thank them for doing great work for me and my family.
