I contacted Steve about some ceiling repair work at my Dad's house in South Philly. He arrived on time for the estimate walk through and provided a very reasonable quote. A week later he again arrived on time to do the repair. The work he did was top notch and, as he completed it sooner than expected, came in under budget. He is a very nice gentleman and knowledgeable about his business. I highly recommend Steve and expect to engage him for additional work.

The drywall in the ceiling was breaking loose. I called Steve to examine the ceiling and he told me he would have to open up the ceiling to determine what needed to be done. He removed the entire ceiling and found it overfilled with blown-in insulation. An additional six contractor bags of insulation were found sitting on the ceiling joists adding approximately 400 to 500 pounds of extra weight. In addition, there weren't enough fasteners holding the drywall in place. Steve reframed wood and corrected everything in order to make the ceiling strong. He called me over to inspect his work before he replaced the drywall. He did a wonderful job of putting in new insulation. I was so impressed with his work. I was desperate to find someone who could do the work right away and he came through for me. Steve's work is top notch and I recommend him highly.

Steve replaced closet doors on my condo in Philadelphia. Sounds easy, but I live in San Francisco and never met Steve. Steve was a true professional, he handled the work in a quality manner, quickly and was very good with communications (which I depended on). I would work with him again. I highly recommend Steve.
