My wife and I hired Precise Home Renovations for a basement remodel. We worked with Jerry, Tim, Alan and his partner and it was a pleasure working with all of them. They all went above and beyond and treated the project as though it were for their own homes. My wife was particularly impressed with Alan and his partner's attention to detail in the final product, truly living up to the name "Precise". Once work started they were in the house for roughly 2-3 weeks and everyone was very polite and respectful of the house while they were here. We especially appreciated how collaborative the entire process was from start to finish. There was never any friction when we threw new ideas at them even once work had started, and they were always willing to give advice and input of their own. The final product speaks for itself, and we could not be happier with how it turned out. The price was very reasonable and we never felt like we had to haggle or get into any money discrepancies. We cannot recommend Precise Home Renovations enough, I strongly encourage anyone who needs home renovations to use them! read more

After buying our home in South Philly, we brought in Jerry and his team to renovate our kitchen, reframe our master bedroom and add on a master bathroom. Jerry was helpful from our first meeting and continued to exceed our expectations throughout the entire two month project. We received 6 bids, and while Jerry's was on par with a few others we trusted, we immediately were drawn to his approach to the job. Anytime you hear about a renovation project you usually hear two things: It never finishes on time and it goes over budget. Neither was the case with Jerry, our project finished on time and other than a few extras we requested, right on target for the budget. This was all made possible through Jerry's open and honest communication, and transparency throughout the entire project. At the end of the day we finished with our dream kitchen and master bathroom in our new home.I would highly recommend Jerry for any of your home renovation projects! read more

Absolutely terrible. Do not hire these people. We hired Jerry to redo our upstairs bathroom. I guess he was busy with other jobs and considered our job to be too small for him so he put his son, Josh, in charge of our bathroom. While nice, Josh has very little experience in construction. The project was supposed to take two weeks and lasted months. The first red flag was Jerry changing the estimate after we told him we wanted him to do the project. He originally quoted $13,000, and then right before he was supposed to start, he sent a quote of over $15,000. When we brought it to his attention he acted as if he'd never come up with the original quote and said he'd "take our word for it". Thankfully, he didn't have to since we had an email from him with the $13,000 quote. He still acted like he was doing us a favor, which was the first indicator of how shady he is. Josh showed up with two other guys, Elvis, who is actually experienced and skilled, and Josh's driver, whose only other job was to serve as Josh's whipping boy. The main problem was that Josh wouldn't stay out of Elvis's way; actually ruining finished work after Elvis had completed it. Then Elvis was sent to work other jobs, leaving just Josh and his driver. This is when it really became a "one step forward, two steps back" situation. Josh and his driver would be here nearly every day, but most of that time was spent screaming and breaking stuff. One of their fights was so bad my neighbors complained. I kept hearing heavy items being flung or dropped down my beautiful 140-year-old, original wood stairs. They broke through the bathroom wall, into a bedroom full of my clothes. They then decided that that room was part of the construction zone and left trash and construction debris in there. He even left a toilet in there after I expressly told him not to do so. When things were sloppy, crooked, paint splattered, smudged or outright broken we were told, "that's the look". When we tried to contact Jerry to complain, he would ignore our calls. When I asked him for updates and schedules he would react defensively, then be overly emotional and conciliatory. It was a lot of feelings to deal with when I simply wanted to know when the shelves were going to be dropped off. I tried to get Josh to focus by asking for lists of tasks that he expected to complete each day and then a list of the completed tasks at the end of the day, but it was like pulling teeth. I also had better things to do with my time other than micromanaging a construction job we were paying $13,000 for someone else to do. Finally, it became too much to handle. Months had passed since the project started and every day more things were getting screwed up to the point that it would never end. I asked that Elvis be put in charge and allowed to work alone. It was days before Christmas so he only had a short time to pull it together. Things went much more smoothly, not mention much quieter, with Elvis working alone, but it was never going to be as nice as it should've been because of all the time spent trying to do things quickly, without care or attention to detail. It's not even Josh's fault. He's just too inexperienced to run a project. Simply being the boss's son doesn't qualify someone to be the boss. Both Jerry and Josh kept saying over and over how we would be happy with the end product. They were wrong. It looked like a sloppy mess. My husband spent a full day fixing things. We were, fortunately, able to get Elvis back to fix some things even though he no longer worked for Jerry, but so much had been done wrong from the beginning, it was never going to look good. I couldn't believe Jerry would allow things to get so out of hand and be ok with having his name attached to such a mess. Jerry never came to look at the bathroom or even ask if it was acceptable probably because he knew it was a disaster. read more

Now I'm even more impressed - we had a small problem with the front door after a few days of being open. We called Jerry asking if he could fix it - his team was there literally the next day at 6am, took care of it before we opened at 7am, and we didn't lose a single minute of business. This is a truly professional operation. Thanks guys! read more

Five stars for Jerry Giles. We had a three rooms and a full bath renovated shortly after we purchased a historic property in Huntingdon Valley, PA. Our dining room also had a "face lift". The renovation included fresh plaster, paint, carpet, built-in window seats and safety gate that Jerry custom built for our back stairs. The bathroom was demolished and built anew with a custom built vanity to fit the space. The dining room had an old seller door that needed to be removed and trim work that needed to be recreated, all done along with fresh paint. The work was started shortly after the contract was agreed upon. Jerry was prompt with returning calls and answering any questions. Home care attention needs improvement. No drapes were used during the plastering process and there was dust everywhere. Several of my children's toys were ruined and unable to be cleaned due to plaster, dust, and paint. Also, the finishing touches felt rushed. Overall, my experience with Precise Home Renovations was positive and I look forward to my next home project. read more

5 stars for quality of finish, communication and price. My kitchen flooded from a burst pipe on the 2nd floor. I needed the entire kitchen and dining room redoing, whilst maintaining the character of the house (100 year old Victorian house). Specifically I needed a new ceiling, new walls (drywall and spray insulation), new kitchen (cabinets, appliances, countertop, tile floor and farmhouse sink), and wooden floors refinished throughout the ground floor. I also had a tight timeline - 5 weeks until tenants moved. I interviewed 4 different contractors for the job and went with Jerry in the end. I was not disappointed. He completed on time and to budget. This was my first major home improvement so naturally I had lots of questions. Jerry was always responsive and happy to help. What I like the most, and what made me confident about the work, was Jerry would take the time to respond to my emails and address each and every point. Jerry has remained my go to contractor for building requests no matter how small. As always - THANKS Jerry! read more

Hired Josh the owners son to install 2 exterior doors for me. He showed up with his older brother and a helper the first day. Told me it would take 2 hrs which I knew was probably BS but I wasn't strapped for time as long as they got it done that day. He promptly leaves to go pick up the 2nd door - not sure why he wouldn't have both doors to do the job. He's gone for 2-3 hrs while his brother and the helper basically finish installing the first door. They do a great job and before I can stop Josh from starting the 2nd door since it was getting too late he starts ripping it out. So I figured ok with 3 guys working on it should take less time and get done before dark. He works for maybe an hour on it and then tells me hes leaving to take a break and get something to eat but will be back in 30 mins. His brother protests saying they need to finish the job and not leave a hole in my house but Josh persuades him. Josh comes back 1 1/2 to 2 hrs later and is moving tools into my carport and tells me he has to go do something but would be back later - at this time it's already 6PM. I tell him to come back the next day at 9AM to finish. Next date I call and text him until 11AM when he finally tells me that we agreed on Noon which we didn't. He shows up and then promptly leaves to get siding because he bought a door that was too small for the current opening but doesn't tell me this before he installs it and leaves the exterior looking like garbage. Finally comes back around 3PM - spends an hour getting the door in and tells me hes done. The outside - looks like garbage. There's big gaps all along the casement and on top as well. I complain and ask if this looks like a finished door to him. He tells me if I want it to look good it would be more money and blah blah blah. After arguing for a little I decide to write it off as a lesson learned and find someone else to fix the crappy job he did. Moral of the story if Josh is gonna be working on your Job - RUN. Frank his brother did a great job. read more

Jerry was super accommodating to my schedule. When the work was done I had a few areas that I wanted to see get touched up. Jerry was wasn't defensive of offended and immediately showed up to remedy the situation and stated that the most important thing was that I was a satisfied customer. Having an honest guy who cares about his customers is rare these days. Would definitely do business with him again. read more

Great company to do business with! Jerry was very professional and courteous. I needed to renovate my bathroom (it was sixties style). He showed me samples of cabinets and tile for my floor, water saving toilet, and of course, how to update my old tub. His ideas were fresh and inspiring! He work worked well with in my budget. I love my new bathroom! I would highly recommend Precise Home Renovations! read more

Just had Jerry and his crew install a tub, surround and bathroom sink/vanity. They did an excellent job! At first I didn't know what to expect for a price on my job -- but Jerry's bid was less than the other one I got and I found that it was worth every penny. Along the way there were a couple small changes that needed to be made -- the guys were happy to do what was needed to make it work, and the price in the end was totally reasonable. They were prompt, professional and highly trustworthy! read more

Jerry went way out of his way for me, has integrity, and does what he says. I contacted Precise when I was stuck on a major project for my business. Jerry immediately came out and gave me a quote that day. He started the project within days and completed it quicker than I could have imagined. His crew did super high quality work super fast. He literally handled all the fears I had related to scheduling, permits, and delivering on everything we needed. The best thing I can say is that the guy treated me like I was family or a close friend. I will use Precise for every future project I have with my business or anything in my home. He is a good man with integrity and he will always do right by you. I could go on and on because in having a small business myself, I pride myself on trying to treat people the right way, so when you come across someone like Jerry, you root for them to do well. read more

My wife and I bought a house with a small and old stove top which had no exhaust, fan, or ventilation of any sort. The odd size of the stove top did not leave us very many replacement options. Jerry came by and gave us great advice about installing a hood for ventilation and said he would be able to modify our counter top to accommodate a larger and better stove top, so we hired him to do the job. Jerry did a great job all the way through. He showed up when he said he was going to be there, got the work done, and left us with a great looking kitchen upgrade. We were particularly impressed with the cleanup that was done every day and the attention to detail. Definitely would hire again. read more

We hired Jerry to renovate two bathrooms at our rental property. He did a great job. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!
