After research and calls, hired ISC. On point, on time, expertise. Recommendations on design, materials, and how to save money in the process, and fix any issues I had. Very flexible, and as I'd leave everyday, the work was done safely, cleanly, and when done, it was as if no one was ever there...but a stunning brand new custom tile shower in place. Still love it and 4 years later, still perfect. I can't recommend ISC enough. Ian and team are awesome, and I'll gladly recommend and hire them again.

Ian and all the people he has working with him are an absolute pleasure to deal with! They started…read moreon time, finished before his estimated completion date and we felt he charged us very fairly. We wanted to remove an old tub and all the surrounding tile and replace it with a stall shower. This can be quite a messy job, but they were as neat, considerate and pleasant as could be. We would not hesitate to hire them again and would recommend them in a minute. We can honestly say that this renovation was one of the best remodeling experiences we've ever had.

This review is long overdue for work we had done in October. We needed a contractor to turn a large…read morebedroom into 2 smaller bedrooms for our kids. We needed framing, sheetrock, electrical, trim and closets built. Joe was way more responsive than all other contractors and was very reasonable with costs. The price was exactly what he quoted us. (Another contractor was supposed to start before we found Joe and completely ghosted us around the start date.) Lou was the main guy who was here several days and he was great. We felt totally comfortable with him in our home. Our 4 year old son kept asking where Lou was after the project was completed. Lou worked around us when it came to hours that worked best for our family. Our kids love their bedrooms. And our 4 year old son finally sleeps in his own bed. We will be calling Joe when we are ready to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms.

DISASTER. Turn and run. We hired Joe for a large 203K project. We had problems from the very…read morebeginning: he was slow to start, kept changing his mind about the game plan, complained about the fact that he could get no money up front--terms of the 203K that he had of course agreed to--and pressured us to give him significant up-front money to "help him start". He instructed me in June of 2024 to rush to buy materials for a small bathroom that was still mostly unfinished in April of 2025; that kind of thing happened multiple times. His workers were inadequately supervised, and he was difficult to reach, often saying things like I'm at a kid's soccer game, out to dinner with my daughter, etc. The way that 203K's work is that HUD inspectors come out at regular intervals to make sure that adequate work has been done to make a draw from the total budget. Joe did a bunch of stuff merely to look busy to justify the first draw, in August: a slap-dash exterior paint job over crumbling paint that made a mess and did not hold, for instance. Between the first and the second draw, there was slow but meaningful progress--but by then we were 5 months into a job that we were told would take 4-6 months, and nowhere near done. During much of that 3-month interval he had just one guy working on our huge project, an electrician. After the second draw, in late November, he basically just stopped working on the house. We were making double housing payments the whole time, of course, so we panicked. We were almost out of money. After numerous calls and messages failed to get him to pick up the pace, at the urging of our lender, we scheduled a third draw, 3 months after the second one. At that draw, the HUD inspector certified that no work had been done, so no funds would be paid out. That's when we finally worked up the nerve to fire him. It was terrifying, because our lender told us that we would have trouble getting anyone to take on such a large project with only what was left in the budget after Joe depleted it. By the grace of God, we did find one. He swept in and got the job done in about 4 months. We finally moved in almost exactly one year after closing. Of course we had two mortgage payments the whole time. The work could have been finished within 6 months, or close to it, if we had found a great contractor like the one we found after we fired Mr. Depiano. Working with Mr. Depiano was harrowing. We were newbs at this, and therefore easy to fool. DON'T MAKE OUR MISTAKE.

I was lucky to find Bryan through a co-worker who had been Bryan's neighbor, and had work done by…read morehis team. I had probably contacted 8 different contractors about remodeling our bathroom, and not one of them called back. Bryan called back the same day. Bryan couldn't have been more helpful to me. I am no decorator, and was clueless about tile. He met me several times to guide me in the right direction. He hires the best people to work for him. I felt comfortable having them in the house when no one was home. They did their best to protect the carpet downstairs and the walls leading up the stairs to the bathroom. The tiler has to be one of the best in the area. I'm so glad that we went with porcelain tile instead if another fiberglass surround. The bathroom is now the best room in our house! My only hesitation with giving a great review is that I want to get this team back for more renovations, and I don't want to have to wait years because they are so busy.
