Our back deck had been a disaster since we moved into our house. It was a previous homeowner DIY…read moreproject that was used with incorrect materials, and because of this it was causing the deck to sag in multiple locations. It also did not have any steps for access to the backyard. We spent a year and a half contacting contractor after contractor, no one wanted to help us get our deck up to par. Not one person that came out to look at the deck would give us an estimate on what it would take to fix the deck. Some told us they would only give us pricing for a new deck, others just ghosted us all together. Enter Mark Skerlec. Mark listened to our needs and then gave us a variety of options that could rectify the issues with the deck. After making our final decisions Mark quickly scheduled a date to begin his work. He was clean, he was quick, and he did incredible work. Our deck no longer sags. It no longer bounces when you walk on it. I also finally have direct access to the backyard. The most amazing part is Mark was able to take the time to match up the parts he used with the current design of the deck. Looking at it you would never know that it was once a monstrous atrocity. It is one complete, beautiful unit. It looks great. And I couldn't be any happier. Next time I need work done, interior or exterior, there won't even be multiple calls. Mark Skerlec is the only contractor I will use.

We had used a different company suggested through our insurance to fix the leak, but did not have the ceiling fixed at the same time for unrelated reasons. When it came time to fix the ceiling, we could not get the previous company to return our calls so we turned to MXCP Construction. We had a consultation over the phone and I agreed for them to start the job the following week. They arrived promptly, assessed the damage in person, and talked me through the repair and patch process. They got to work right away and finished the repairs on the same day including the texture. The ceiling repair had to dry so it could not be completed on the same day. The crew cleaned up and took all the debris with them. The price was reasonable, they were timely, and the ceiling looked good!

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 can't say enough about the kind man who worked on the ceiling. A man was called in to match the plaster and it all looked great after painting it. Fast forward two years. My husband had a stroke and while sitting with him, he noticed the ceiling was peeling. He managed to say, call the people who fixed it. They'll come back. So very wrong. Mr. Mazzant yelled and actually screamed at me. He said I was a complainer who only"wanted something for nothing.". I told him I thought he'd want to know his work didn't hold up. He hung up on me. My husband recently passed away and I have more time now. Do I find a ladder and scrape the ceiling? Do I paint it? Our insurance came through on this project and i thought my nice house was fixed. Yes, the initial work looked great but I still can't believe how my complaint/ problem was handled.

Mazzant did a restoration job for me back in 2015. At first glance, it was great... but today, not…read moreso much. Here's the scenario: A water pipe in my unheated attic burst and flooded a couple rooms in my house. Mazzant came in, tore out the ceiling, dried everything out, etc. During that process, the existing furnace in the attic died and had to be replaced. Insurance paid for everything, job was done after 4 weeks or so. Life went on. Now in December 2018, I'm no longer living there but my tenants call me up and say the furnace won't run anymore. The gas stove works, water heater works, but not the furnace. I call my usual HVAC guy and he said the install was done very poorly. I told him what happened before, then I asked him why he thinks the install was done poorly and he tells me it looks like a drywall guy did it. Basically, the HVAC guy meant to say it looks like the person who did the install didn't have the expertise to do it right. I ask him what needed to be done and he said the best thing to do would be to get parts and redo the install which would be thousands of dollars. I asked him what it'd cost to simply get the one part needed to make the furnace work and he said it's $500 but would rather not do a rush job. Fair enough. I go for a second opinion and same thing. The guy tells me the install was done improperly so the drainage doesn't happen properly, which causes condensation in the unit, which caused the control board to go bad, and that's why the furnace won't run. I ask him what could be done and he tells me my two options: 1) Replace just the control board for $500 but the part is on order which will take 14 days to arrive, not to mention an additional wait time for actual repairs. 2) Replace the whole thing for $4,200 and can be done in 3 days. Alternatively, he told me to find the original crew that did the work and see if there's any parts warranty on the unit. However, he felt it was unlikely because to have parts warranty, the technician would've had to register the furnace with the manufacturer... and he honestly felt that, "Anyone who does a job like this probably wouldn't have done so." I take his advice to contact the original crew and find out if there's any parts warranty. The original crew was Mazzant. I called them and basically, they're saying it's been 3 years since and there should've been regular maintenance on the furnace. And because there's been no maintenance, they won't do anything about it. In fact, Bob (the owner/president) yelled at me when I tried to explain 1) I don't recall having this conversation because I was under the impression that the insurance company was paying for everything, and 2) I was simply trying to look for the parts warranty. What's amusing is that he became very defensive because I hadn't even gotten to the point of asking them to do anything about the botched furnace install, one that's now going to cost me at least $500 and leaving my tenants in the cold for at least 2 more weeks because the parts are on order from the manufacturer! I told Bob Mazzant this: If he had AT THE VERY LEAST sent someone out to check it out and explained better options to me, I might've even hired him again to fix it for me. But instead, here I am on the Internet writing a bad review because he chose to get defensive and yell at me over the phone. He sounded nice enough to a potential customer, but boy try asking him about a past job and he blows up. That reaction tells me that I'm not the first one that's told him of botched jobs his crew did that became ticking time bombs... and I suspect that I won't be the last customer that he'll be yelling at in the future. Thanks for nothing, Bob.
