My wife and I hired CLA Construction to demo and remodel our patio. We worked closely with Chris…read moreAnthony, who provided us with a very reasonable estimate. We went with a Fiberon composite deck, with contrasting borders, he also had to demo some very stubborn concrete. Although we went over budget and there were some delays, the finished product looks amazing and could not be happier with the quality of work that was delivered. Chris Anthony was also reasonable and worked with us on the final payment. Would recommend!

We recently engaged Chris and company to build us a deck. When he came to give us a quote, we found…read morethat he was able to help us with a few other things we needed in our backyard as well such as wiring and installing light fixtures. He gave us a fixed quote for the deck and then an hourly rate for everything else. In terms of quality of the work, we couldn't be happier. Our deck, which includes a custom bench wrapping around a retaining well, looks great. Chris was good about consulting us at every step and ensuring that things were turning out to our liking. He's also incredibly detail oriented and was proactive about helping us find the the right paint and fixtures for the back of our house. Many other contractors we've dealt with seemed to do the bare minimum according to what we relayed but it seems Chris took pride in his work and ensured everything was done well. The reason I can't give 5 stars however is that the last interactions I had with Chris were not positive. We paid him whatever he asked for as the work went along. When it came to the second to last payment he asked for the remaining amount we owed him on the deck plus half of an estimate of the additional work his team did. Again, we happily paid but the one thing I requested was a proper invoice for the additional work. He said ok but it might be hand written. I said that was fine. A few weeks later, after the rest of the work had completed, he asked me for final payment that week. That wasn't a problem but I asked again for a final invoice, mostly out of principal so I didn't feel like I was throwing random amounts of money at people. He then texted me a 350+ word text meant to represent the work we need to pay him for that I couldn't make any sense of (no commas, no bullet points, no hours/cost associated with each item). At the very end of the text, he also added that he needed me to understand all the work he did for us and that he hoped I would sleep better at night. His attempt to guilt trip me for asking for something as normal as an invoice left a very bad taste in my mouth. For what it's worth, I don't think he was trying to cheat us. It mostly just felt lazy and unprofessional to then guilt trip a customer for asking for something pretty common. Would I recommend his work: probably yes but also don't believe the service was 5 stars.

Although I ultimately couldn't move forward with Daniel/Triangle Construction due to timing on my…read moreend, I have to leave a review because the experience I had just during the vetting process was outstanding. From the very first conversation, it was clear I was speaking with a true professional. Triangle Construction (Daniel Curtis) was incredibly responsive, transparent, and thorough, all qualities that are surprisingly rare in this industry. He took the time to walk me through the process, answered all my (many!) questions with patience and clarity, and provided insights that made it clear he has deep expertise and a passion for doing things the right way. His professionalism, integrity, and clear communication gave me so much confidence. If you're lucky enough to work with him, you're in excellent hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality work and a contractor who genuinely cares. If my timeline had been more flexible, I would have hired him in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

I found some water damaged siding outside my kitchen sink area. A plumber said it was likely the…read moresink drain, but because of the siding, it was beyond his capability. He recommended Debernardi. Debernardi responded quickly to my call and assessed the situation, agreeing with the plumber about the problem. They scheduled a repair in a few days, but had to delay due to a COVID watch limiting their personnel available. We rescheduled for the following week. A worker and Jeff, the owner, came on time (7:45am). We discussed the job, and I said do it for time at $134/hour and materials. The worker removed the siding, fixed the leak, replacing some plastic pipe, put on new siding and repainted (I had some exterior house paint), all by 2:30 pm. They did a fine job. Everyone from Bernardi knew what they were doing, and did what they said they would do.

Very impressed with Steve and 680 Home Repairs…read more Interviewed a number of contractors and Steve and 680 stood out Head and shoulders above the rest, both in terms of quality, price and integrity. I've already signed up to use the services of 680 home repair for kitchen , bathrooms, etc. One of the main things I like about this company is there's not a long chain of command and you are dealing with the same person, likely the owner, who is good with communication , whereas with other companies you're often dealing with a different person every day, not always sure what's going on.

We had a variety of smaller updates we wanted to make (custom ceiling beams, pantry shelving,…read morekitchen cabinet painting, etc), and Steve and team were able to work with us and get the job done. Some lessons learned about wood staining (definitely stain a patch on the actual wood in place and let it sit overnight before moving forward), but otherwise everything went well.

I bought a new stainless steel sink along with a new garbage disposal because I wanted to upgrade…read morethe overall look of my kitchen. All of my kitchen appliances are stainless steel so I wanted my sink to match as well. My old white sink just didn't cut it and looked out of place. One of my best friends referred a contractor to me for the installation of my sink, garbage disposal and granite tile. I'll make a long story short, the contractor did a horrible job! First of all, he basically supervised and watched one of his workers install the sink and granite tile. He told me he couldn't do an undermounted sink because it would be to hard to install. He also told me he couldn't connect the dishwasher tube to the garbage disposal. The contractor said there has to be an air vent. I told him an air vent coming out of a sink is outdated. He told me an air vent is the only way to go. The contractor ended up drilling a huge hole in my new sink for the dishwasher air vent. The hole wasn't cut properly and looked horrible! When the other guy installed the granite it looked like crap! The granite was off level and looked very sloppy! They didn't even use the right grout material to glue down the granite tile. After the contractor and his friend finished the installation of my sink, I noticed several chips in the granite, off level granite, soft cocking that never hardened and pieces of tile missing towards the back of the sink! I decided to go with a Diamond Certified contractor. I should of went with someone more reputable and qualified in the first place. Of course your going to pay more but then again you get what you pay for. It's all about quality when it comes to getting work done on your home. I gave Kevin Abrew a call. I read a lot of good reviews about Kevin in my Diamond Certified Blue Handbook. I called and spoke to Shannon Abrew to set up a consultation. She was very nice and professional. Kevin came out the next day and took a look at my sink. He explained how he would fix my sink and give it a really nice clean look. A few days after I received a quote from Shannon through email. I scheduled the installation of my sink and granite tile a few weeks later. A contractor (Noel) who works for Kevin did the installation. He did an amazing job with the granite tile! The sink looks beautiful! Noel was able to connect the dishwasher tube to the garbage disposal. He installed a soap dispenser in place of the air vent. He even fixed the hole that was drilled in the sink. He also installed a black material piping for free which would prevent any water leaks in the future. Kevin stopped by once the job was completed and made sure everything was picture perfect. If you want quality, efficient and affordable work done to your home, I would definitely recommend Abrew Repair & Construction. I will definitely go through Kevin again when I decide to remodel my master bathroom. Thanks again Kevin for the easy going experience and great job!

Unfortunately it took me 10 years to write this. 2015, Abrew Construction did a fireplace remodel…read morewhile saving our original mantle several years back. As usual, the owner, Kevin Abrew, sells his business because that's his job. He really pushed his 5 star rating in the Better Business Bureau which is a scam. The BBB doesn't do anything if the business' clients are not satisfied. His employees did a fine job in the work they did, but his business practices were suspect. He was not upfront with any additional work and costs. When you give a customer a quote for repairing and repainting cracks in your stucco the logical assumption, if you were to add on repairing a few other cracks on adjacent walls, would be that they would also be painted. Well, you'd be wrong! He gave us a quote for the additional cracks and Mr. Abrew went ahead and had his guys repair the additional cracks on the adjacent wall. Then he gave us a bill that didn't include painting. When questioned about the missing paint, he stated that it wasn't on the quote. That would cost extra. Who gets ready to leave a job site with stucco patches and no paint??? Painting was conveniently left off the additional quote so he could then charge more money after we had already agreed to have the work done. Not a good business practice, but unfortunately a common practice. He also writes up his quotes in units. Ex: "Stucco outside of house 1 unit." (See attached pic). Any contractor that doesn't itemize their bill providing pricing does so so that you have no idea of how much you are being charged for each part of the job. So if you ask to remove some element of the work from the bill, you have no idea if the reduced price is on the level as there are no references to what you are being charged for. Again, not a good business practice. It keeps the customer in the dark having to trust that the contractor is being honest with what they are charging. He even charged me 3 units for "Waiting for inspectors." So how much is a unit? How much was I charged? Your guess is as good as mine. I will say the experience could have been worse and in the end the work was done right. As for hiring someone who is upfront, honest and not ready to argue with you....I'd pick someone else.
