Top Carpenters in Camillus, NY

"My daughter put her foot completely through the flooring (plywood and all) in the bathroom. You could see into the crawl space, and there were other places where the floor felt like more holes were likely. It was very stressful, as I knew that if insurance denied my claim (as they did), getting this fixed would become a major burden on me, possibly an impossible situation for me to handle given my complicated personal status. I got 3 quotes from 3 contractors, and Loyola Construction made the best first impression. But that is the problem I usually run into... the estimator may be a great person, so you hire them, but the contractors end up not being as great. For the first time ever, that ended up not being the case here.

The contractors were amazing. In the past, I have dealt with all kinds of problems, from contractors running the clock and trying to charge me for it, severely overcharging for materials and/or labor, taking forever to actually get the task done, and in the end, usually having done not such a great job. Cutting corners, being sloppy, and then looking at you like YOU are the problem when you point it out. I was looking forward to this project about as much as you would look forward to getting a cavity filled.

In the end, my holey floor resulted in the need for a bathroom gut job. The plywood and joists were water damaged and we were basically being held up by the vinyl flooring itself. I think I was operating in panic mode the entire time because I know that once you start ripping things out, 8,000 other problems could come up. Getting a loan to cover this job was nothing short of a miracle, so going over budget was not an option.

Despite my concerns, my experience with Loyola Construction ended up being the rainbow in the black cloud. My project description on Home Advisor is what got their attention right away and they managed to start construction immediately. The contractors were nothing like those I had dealt with in the past. Their work ethic was impressive... no breaks, no running the clock, no messing around... just solid work. Their word was very important to them, so if they said they would do something, they would do it. There were many times where problems came up and they could have pressed their advantage... but they were not like that at all. They were genuinely looking out for me and worked with me to resolve the problem without causing additional stress for me to suffer through. There were also things that came up that were not part of the original estimate, but just made sense to take care of them in the midst of a gut job if you want to do it right and be complete, and again, they worked with me through it all.

An unplanned-for completely new bathroom was not in the budget (like, ever) and my bank account is going to cry for many years, but that is not anyone's fault. Salt could have been rubbed in the wound if the contractors were like the ones I have dealt with in the past, but that just was not the case. Their work ethic and their empathy for my situation, as I said, was the rainbow in the black cloud, and approx. 1 week or so after my daughter put her foot through the floor, I now had an entirely new bathroom... and it was done right. New tub, shower, bath faucet, toilet, vanity, sink, sink faucet, medicine cabinet, (and additional) joists, plywood, flooring, plumbing, and for the first time, a completely level, SAFE floor in my bathroom.

I know everyone's situation and experiences are different, but here is my 2 cents. As someone who always gets the rotten end of the deal, trust me when I say that Loyola Construction is the company you want to hire. I have already told them that if / when I ever get more money, they are the ones I will be hiring to handle all of the other issues my 1950's house needs work on. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of a contractor!!!"

"Down to Earthb property Management is worth the hire and very professional. I have made them my go to company I expect to use their services two or three times a year. Thank you Down to Earth for a job well done. See you in the spring!"

"Scott did a great job despite the job being much more complicated than it should have been. Weâ ll be hiring him again in the future. "

"Matt is fantastic! I hired him to do some carpentry work. I know nothing about such things, and he made sure to explain everything—what he recommended, different things he could do, why he was doing certain things—and he included me in every step of the process. In addition, he is very responsive and communicates really well and PROMPTLY! He takes his work seriously, and it shows. I’ll definitely be hiring him again, and I highly recommend him!"

"Rebuilt deck and added a roof over it...not only is it completely maintenance free, but it looks like it was actually a part of the house forever...amazing. Then inside the house all new waterproof vinyl flooring in first floor of the house, and pantry was gutted, a new wider door was installed, a ceiling light and switch was installed and a laundry center was installed with new shelving...all done including even painting and staining. Then the small repairs, new upstairs toilet, fixed garage outlet, added an outside backyard electrical outlet, fixed outside faucet, replaced two light fixtures.
Owner was onsite and working every day. The owner, Brad, actually told me to tell him if I didnâ t like something. He said more than once to let him know if I wanted something different. All of the work done exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely hire him again for all future projects. THANK YOU. Itâ s great to know that there is someone out there who cares and treated my home with care and exemplary customer service. "

"Joe redid my kitchen - great quality of workmanship and great value. He was helpful and communicated well throughout the project. As a first time homeowner, I wasn t sure all that a kitchen remodel would entail; Joe offered information and suggestions without pressure. Will definitely be reaching out for projects in the future!"

"He does a great job. He does excellent work."

"Hunter Springs management and staff are true professionals who take pride in their work. From design through execution they collaborated with us to ensure the end result was exactly (or even better than) what we envisioned. Our entry, front and back yard landscaping and hardscaping are just incredible. I highly recommend these craftsman, as they are great people and a joy to work with."

"The service Strauss Contracting provided was a water heater replacement, which is sort of an emergency. I contacted them around noon and they had completed the job by 5pm. They were friendly, friendly clean, cheerful and efficient. I would recommend them. "

"Very good work and very reasonably priced. They did their best to clean up after themselves every step of the way. My only complaint is the lack of notice before they arrived to start the project, but i can understand when you're job revolves around the weather it's hard to predict these things."

"They gave us a very reasonable estimate and schedule. Completed the work ahead of schedule with no cost overruns. Their workmanship was first rate. They were very professional. "

"They are awesome!"

"Very pleased overall with service."
