First, communication was excellent and he was really easy to get in touch with and very responsive via email and text. He was very prompt and kept me in the loop on key decisions. Second, his rate was extremely competitive. Third, and most important, he did a great job. The door was well installed and looks great, even though there were some tricky angles for him to work with. He was also very considerate in keeping dust and particles to a minimum, which was very much appreciated. Highly recommended, and will gladly work with him again.

Customers and contractors beware!! We hired Prestige Craftsmanship on approximately July 24, 2018…read moreto remodel our master bathroom with a customized shower and walk in closet for $10,500. We were to provide the main bathroom furniture and finishing materials like tiles, toilet, sink, lights, etc. And Prestige Craftsmanship was to provide all labor and the working materials. The work was estimated to be 2 weeks, however, after about 2 months Prestige Craftsmanship had walked away from the job, incomplete and a mess. Prior to beginning the demolition, the bedroom furniture was not covered, so the entire room and furniture are completely covered with drywall, concrete and fiberglass dust. Eric Headley (the owner of Prestige Craftsmanship) promised to have the room cleaned along with an area of the carpet replaced that was damaged by him from foam insulation. The shower has to be completely redone due to "substandard materials and poor craftsmanship" according to the tile expert we brought in after noticing many areas of concern. The $1400 sink that we purchased has been damaged due to the poor attempt that Mr. Headley made to cut holes for the plumbing, which we specifically asked him not to do. The drywall and doors in both the bathroom and closet remained unfinished and unpainted. The floor in the closet is damaged and sticking up near the entry creating a safety hazard. Both baseboard heaters were removed and never put back. During this whole ordeal, we remained patient and tried to be understanding. We were even asked to pay, and did pay, an extra $1000 that wasn't due until the work was complete. However, according to him, he needed to pay the plumber he hired. Who he did not even wind up paying. Friday, October 5th was the last day he worked. That next Monday, October 8th he text that he would not be in due to time running out and hurting his back. By Tuesday, October 9th, he responded to our text inquiring when he would be back to finish in which he responded that he would not be back because he took another job and wouldn't have the time.

This is another update to a review for Keystone Exterior Solutions and the owner, Ron Dawson…read more In 2020-2022, KES did extensive work in my house - adding a patio door, then replacing it after a flood, along with another new patio door, windows, new exterior doors, kitchen floor and outside patio. I was a great customer, accommodating to his schedule, tipping his staff, paying on-time. January 2025: He contacts me to explain how there is a major manufacturer increase in prices and to act now to take advantage of that deal. I was in the process of planning a major renovation for the second and new windows would have been perfect. I paid him a deposit of $6,900. Again, KES has done major work at my house, and I expected him to follow through. Since then, he has done nothing by lie, ghost and ignore me. I have reached out to the manufacturer, and I am pretty sure that they will no longer do business with KES after my complaint. I have submitted a complaint to PA Better Business Bureau. KES did not respond to the complaint, here is the link: https://www.bbb.org/us/pa/norristown/profile/general-contractor/keystone-exterior-solutions-llc-0241-236008572/complaints KES has a "F" rating with the PA BBB. I have sent him a certified letter, and never had the receipt returned. I have submitted a complaint to the PA State Attorney General Bureau of Consumer Protection, but I do not expect him to respond to that complaint. The other day, I drove through Norristown and went by the address of KES only to find it occupied by another business, Mr. Storage. I contacted them and was told that KES moved out of there a few months ago. All my attempts to contact him via mail, either directly or indirectly, have been in vain because the company is no longer there. Please, PLEASE, do not do business with this company or Ron Dawson. He is a thief, plain and simple. Why would he move out of his warehouse and not update his address on his website? Why would he treat a great customer and a veteran this way? KES has $6,900 of my money and I have never received any of the goods or services. I have a signed contract and will take the necessary steps to enforce the contract or have the deposit refunded. I will continue to update this review as my situation progresses.

We gave a deposit of 10,000 on 2/21/2022. $5,000 of which was for a roof deck project which…read moreincluded railings, a new door cut into the wall. $5,000 was a deposit on painting the exterior, stucco and wiring the chimneys, putting exterior lights up that we purchased including building new wood backplates, putting up shutters, and painting our porch. Paid an additional $6,000 when the porch was painted, lights up, and exterior painted. Paid for shutters because they were still on backorder. Less than a year later, the porch is peeling up. The chimneys were supposed to be wired and stuccoed, they were just stuccoed. They cut a hole in the wall where the roof deck door was to be installed and left it filled with large gap sealer. We also have had water coming into the attic for months since the roof and chimneys were installed and the contractor has failed to inspect it, with his offered "lifetime guarantee". We would have had a chimney service install a cap if it was verified that was the cause many months ago and now have significant damage to our plaster ceiling that we will need to get repaired. The door has allegedly been on backorder since we put the deposit down on 2/21/22. At this point, we asked for our deposit back, as the work was questionable and contractor refused to get permits without additional cost to us, and it should not have taken this long. We could not wait any longer with $5,000 tied up for well over a year on a door that's been on back order for 14 months. We offered to pay for the door at cost, with proof of receipt and order number that we could verify with the door company. The contractor refused. Contractor is still refusing to return the deposit for the roof deck. We would like the shutters we paid for hung, the porch sanded and repainted (was never sanded), plaster in attic repaired and our money back from the deposit. We have contacted the District Attorney, BBB, and local court. The DA and BBB were unable to contact company. The local court when to serve at business address and found it to be an unmanaged garage.

Over the past 40 years, my wife and I have worked with many contractors, both for renovating our…read morehomes, and for renovating dozens of rental apartments that we owned. After a few years, I developed strict criteria for hiring or rehiring contractors that I would recommend to friends. To achieve a 5-star rating from us, the contractor must do at least the following: -must have adequate experience handling the type of job that we need to be completed -must be fully licensed to handle our job and is fully insured -must have lots of experience working with the town or city where the work is to be done if permits are needed for any or all of the work -must be willing to give us 3 names of clients who they have worked with over the last 5 years that we can call for a reference -must present us with a thorough and detailed proposal including costs that are clearly laid out for the work to be done. -must tell us when and if certain aspects of the job will be sub-contracted to others who are not in their direct employ, -must present us with ideas on how we can do the work more efficiently and aesthetically. -must be easy to work with, easy to contact, have excellent communication skills and be able to discuss a difference of opinion without being defensive. -must keep us up to date on the progress of the job without having to be asked -And after the work is completed must be willing to return to correct any part of the job that was not completed to our satisfaction Southpaw readily met or exceeded the above criteria. In our case, Chris Lisinski, as our general contractor, gave us a clear and competitive proposal. He answered all of our questions over several weeks while we were reviewing other bids. Although we were hesitant to do so, circumstances beyond our control, caused us to be out of state while the work was being done. The work was extensive including gutting our 1600 square foot condo to the concrete walls, covering the popcorn ceilings and adding recessed lighting, upgrading our electrical work including adding the capacity for an EV and a tankless water heater, replacing all interior doors and windows, installing a new kitchen, replacing all flooring and adding 2 new beautiful bathrooms. Throughout the work we received 4-5 photos each day to show us the progress that day. If I had questions about the photos or other aspects of the job I could count on a prompt reply either by phone or text. Chris would promptly present me with change orders and costs so that I had no surprise costs at the end of the job. Before we found Chris, we hired an excellent interior designer named Adrienne to see beyond the cookie-cutter 80's condo and turn it into a unique and beautifully appointed home. Her design and advice resulted in our having the best-looking condo in our association. In fact, things went so well with them working together that she became part of the Southpaw team after our work was complete. She too is a gem. Overall, Chris, and Danielle his wife, are easy to work with and diligent . I could not have hoped for a better experience or outcome.

Brian (The owner) said they'd check it out. It literally took a YEAR for him to come, look & acknowledge the problem (however, he couldn't fix it that day). I got estimates from another company but he did not want to reimburse them for doing it either. In the meantime, I was using extension cords (that I had to unplug when I left the house due to loud popping sounds that would come from the outlet).

I purchased my home in Philadelphia in August of 2014. I was told that my house had a brand new…read moreroof put on in May of 2011 and that the roof had a "10 year warranty on materials and installation." In December of 2014 I discovered a leak in my third floor bathroom that ran down the wall and completely destroyed my ceiling and the drywall. I contacted Palmer Construction Management regarding the leak and was told that since yearly maintenance was not performed on my roof the warranty was not enforceable and that they would not cover the repairs. I contacted another roofer and had my roof sealed to fix the problem. This seal lasted until December of 2016, when the same leak reappeared and again completely destroyed the same bathroom. Because my warranty was "invalid" I again contacted another roofer to fix the problem and was told that the roof is of poor quality and has a lot of areas of weakness and should be replaced. This is roof is only 5 1/2 years old. This leads me to two conclusions: 1) The warranty provided by Palmer Construction Management is not a warranty - it is a guarantee for Palmer Construction to (a) either get more money from you by requiring yearly service on a roof (I do not know anyone who does that in Philadelphia), or (b) get out of ever actually having to follow through on performing work covered by the warranty. 2) I would NEVER recommend Palmer Construction Management to family, friends, or acquaintances. There are plenty of roofers in the city - and the warranties provided by these roofers are actually warranties.
