Joe Shadel General Contracting LLC

I tried to work with three other contractors to get a screened porch in my 1870 farmhouse replaced. I wanted glass panes for the winter and screens for summer. No one else could do the project in a way that fit the character of the house, but Joe figured it out. It's become our favorite room and brings us so much happiness. He was so detail oriented that when he was not happy with the sealing on the windows that he reached out to the company. He had them send new seals and fix the issue at their cost. You couldn't ask for better craftsmanship or a higher level of integrity. I will definitely be using him again.

Recently my husband and I decided to remodel our kitchen. We were on a budget and did not want to purchase new kitchen cabinets, so we were in search of a contractor who would be willing to take on a complicated project. From the beginning Joe had a professional approach to the job. He creatively offered us several different options and allowed us to make the changes we were looking for without over-extending our budget. He completely transformed our 70’s style kitchen into a modern looking workspace. He built a new shelf for our microwave and reused our cabinets to create an island with seating. He also updated the look of our refrigerator by enclosing it with panels, making it appear as though we had new cabinets. He is trustworthy, diligent and precise. I never felt that he took on the job just to finish it – he takes pride in his work and wants to do the job the right way (even if it means a little extra time and effort). I would recommend Joe Shadel without reservation and will definitely use him for future house projects. Sarah Morristown, NJ

Last winter, after our basement flooded for the second time, we decided to do a small renovation which included knocking down an interior wall to expand the space. We hired Joe after a recommendation from a family member who recently had hired him for their kitchen. The project ended up spinning into other areas when mold was discovered behind the walls. From start to finish Joe was involved in the remediation and was always available for questions. He completed additional research for us so we could make the best informed decisions as well. Following the mold remediation he was able to complete our basement renovation. Throughout the project, Joe offered advice and suggestions regarding layout and materials which was very helpful. I can truly say he is the most thorough and detail oriented contractor we have worked with! He takes great pride in his work and takes extra time to make sure it looks perfect. I would recommend Joe for home renovations and would not hesitate to use him again as a contractor. Faye, Morris Plains, NJ
