Old State Enterprises, LLC

Chris Pelkey is a true professional. He installed a new shower and replaced the cabinets next to the it and truly went above and beyond. When he found unexpected problems underneath our old bathtub, he was able to remedy the issue and kept us aware of everything he was doing. Chris and his team are very hardworking and conscientious about getting the job done right. He was an excellent communicator in the days leading up to the work and during the project. The price was very reasonable as well, especially given the extra time and labor needed. I would recommend Chris and his services to anyone looking for professional bathroom remodeling.

Chris Pelkey is a true craftsman and professional. He was honest, personable, and communicated with us throughout our build. He showed us issues in our design, presented us with choices in a timely manner, and kept us on budget. We would hire Old State again for our next project for sure.

Professional and responsive. Chris kept me informed of the potential start date in advanced of starting the project, which really helped with my personal planning. My project required major repair of an extensive area of dry rot. This required significant structural and framing work. Chris approached the work with apparent skill and his workmanship was excellent. The work area was kept clean throughout the day and before he left each day. The finishing work and drywall repair were perfect. Chris is certainly among the best contractors I have hired and I will certainly hire him for future projects.

Chris was very professional. He kept me informed at all stages of the window installation. He showed up on time and was responsive to questions. I felt comfortable having him in my home. He also left my home as clean as it was before the installation. I will definitely hire him again.

Chris and his team did an amazing job rebuilding and refacing my decks with composite boards. He recommended better quality posts than the ones I had originally planned to use. Great communication throughout the process, and the job was completed in the time he said it would. I will highly recommend him to others and hire him again for my other projects.

Chris was amazing from start to finish! He was super responsive throughout the process and he and his guys did an amazing job on our kitchen remodel. They did everything from the walls to the floor. They encountered small hiccups here and there but still stayed within budget and always kept our minds at ease. Chris was very receptive to feedback and if we did not like something, he was quick to come up with ideas about how to change it. I would re-hire them in a heartbeat and have already given out his name to several of my friends/family.

Chris and his team completed an extensive and comprehensive kitchen remodel for us. We hit the jackpot! Chris worked diligently in building a relationship with us from our first meeting. We communicated frequently during the planning process and then daily through the project. Chris patiently guided us through some critical decision-making and we were grateful for his expertise and support. Chris was remarkably flexible and accommodating around delays and issues that were out of his or our control and responsive and generous with his time and effort as we requested a few additional tasks that were not in our original plan. Chris was on the mark with each and every estimate: start date, duration of the project and cost! Chris' craftsmanship and attention to detail is extraordinary! We came home every day excited to see the progress and always found a tidy and organized work space, ready for the next day. Although we were eager to move in and begin using our kitchen, we were sad to see Chris and Mike move on to their next project! We have already started a list to get them back!!

They are outstanding in their profession. They did a super job and they were courteous and clean. Very neat in particular.

He was professional and a delight to work with

My idea of building a unique Garage Port was way off until Chris and Mike educated me how they would build the most economic, safest structure, and why the building inspector would probably approve because of previous jobs presented to them. Besides installing 3 garage door openings, (and because I did not want any exterior wood showing inside) they helped me design the interior walls and ceiling with two shades of vinyl, crown molding, recess LED lighting which complimented the entire interior of the garage. They also went on and above my expectations of what I thought my garage would look like. Neighbors have asked me why the 3 garage door openings, and I explained to them that this summer Chris and Mike would be also installing automatic screen openings so that I can keep the doors fully open with the screens down and enjoy my new garage (or perhaps man cave room) with fresh air flowing through, watching some baseball and grilling without the bugs bothering friends and family... I might add that Chris and Mike recommend the garage and screen companies to purchase their products which I was fully satisfied with. I would highly recommend Chris and Mike for any exterior or interior work ever needed...

Chris and Mike were here for a little over 5 weeks. We had pipe burst, in a bathroom that was previously installed in a poor location by a previous owner. So we needed some major remodeling done. It included, removing doors and walls, building new room spaces, constructing a new bathroom with all new plumbing and electrical. They also tore out and refinished the previous bath area as a closet. All the finish work was excellent as well. Every detail was spot on, nothing was over looked. As part of the detail work, they had to match up woodworking on trim for our 100+ year old house. And of course no two rooms were the same. But they did a great job, and unless you inspected every inch of the house, you would say it was original. What they accomplished in 5 weeks, would have taken us over a year, and their skills and expertise gave us a much better end product. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for carpentry work. And we hope to be able to have them return and do more repair work for us, as needed.

Chris and Mike were great! They were very professional, arriving on time well prepared for the job. Our deck was done in the time frame we were given. They take pride in their work and wanted to make sure we were satisfied. We couldn't be happier with our new deck! We feel like they are friends now!

Quick, courteous, professional, and most importantly quality craftsmen. As a career engineer, I have come to recognize and appreciate quality, expertise and value. Chris and his partner Mike did not come off as salesmen but rather provided accurate product information and walked us through the ins and outs of various options for our window replacement project. They then took the time to do the job right - measuring twice to make sure the windows fit like a glove and working methodically to ensure a draft-free installation. Along the way, Chris provided us with insight on issues we have had with a previous window installation. The windows look great, work great, and the price was right. And they treated our house (and pets) with the utmost respect throughout the process. Everything I look for in a contractor. We plan to hire them back for a few remaining windows. Less

Chris and MIke were a pleasure to work with! Their quote for my deck was fair and they are honest about all steps of the project. They kept me up on all stages of the project and when they would be there each day. They even worked in the rain one day! Each day when they left, the yard was cleaned up. I would definitely hire them again to do any construction work I need done.

I highly recommend Old State and Chris! Their quote was competitive, They showed up when they said they would, were very cognizant of keeping things clean, cleaned up every day when they were finished and the communication was excellent. When they were developing the quote and we were discussing the work to be done, they offered up some awesome ideas for how things could be done to accomplish what we were looking for. They did an excellent job in all facets of the work, and their craftsmanship was wonderful. We had a little drip from a plumbing job, and Mike came back immediately to address the issue and fix it. I just cannot say enough how happy we are with the work that was done. In fact I'm looking around the house to see if there is something else I need done! And if I find something I will most certainly get a hold of Chris and Mike! Thank you guys!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Chris in our basement remodel (plus other little projects around the house). He was knowledgeable, thorough, took the time to explain everything and helped us compare products. He was honest in what things would cost, therefore there were no awful surprises in terms of unexpected costs. He was reliable, schedule-oriented, and very clean. Chris takes pride in the quality of his work and really cares that you as the owner are not only satisfied, but that the end product exceeds expectations. I can't recommend him enough.

Mr. Chris Palkey is very knowledgeable and friendly. Also very reliable. His work is very detailed and beautiful. I feel like I made a friend during the project and will hire him again for sure. I will highly recommend him to all my friends!

Chris was fantastic. He handled some structural issues for us. He was prompt, on time, in and out, super clean AND his final price was less than the initial quote. We would hire again without a doubt.

I would highly recommend Chris and would use him again for future projects. I was very pleased with the work he did building a bathroom in our basement. He is professional, reliable, always cleaned up at the end of each day. He was to work with and the project was completed in a very timely manner.

Chris was very professional. Suggested a few options, came a couple of times before project was to begin. Made sure I was extremely happy with Decking choices. Was here when he said he would be. He will be the one I call when we start another project. I would highly recommend him for all your construction needs. Very Happy Customer.

I highly recommend Chris for your next project. He kept us informed during every step of the project. He is reliable, pleasant and easy to work with. I will definitely call him when we are ready to start our next project.

Chris was professional, prompt, excellent worker, pleasant, courteous, neat and diligent. If you had a question he was prompt at returning calls. All work was performed as expected. I would highly recommend him and would use him again. He meant and exceeded my expectations. My bathroom is beautiful. Darlene Simmons, Troy NY

Contractor is very pleasant to work with, very reliable, very accessible, and very reasonable in pricing. I've worked with many contractors before and this certainly counts as my best experience. I would not hesitate to recommend the contractor to my friends and extended family. Old State Enterprises will be my first choice if/when I have a future project. Jerry Z.

I don't know what to say all the other reviews nailed it. Chris did a fantastic job installing hardwood floors, sheet rocking two walls and tiling the area of our wood stove. The entire job came out better than my wife & I thought possible. Chris said the results were as he expected. The price, timeliness and quality was excellent. Chris cleaned up the place everyday and was on the project till its completion. No stopping to do a little something elsewhere. Chris is also a heck of a nice guy.

Chris was outstanding throughout the planning, bidding and completion of our garage project. He was very easy to work with and flexible in accomodating changes as the work progressed. He was very accessible and responsive to questions. His work was very high quality . As a person he clearly showed that he was very interested and committed to customer satisfaction. He was very sociable and nice to have around.I had no questions at all about his character and integrity. I would not hesitate to hire him again and in fact we've discussed a few upcoming projects. Two thumbs up and kudos all around to Chris and his associates. The result is a beautiful addition to our property. I should also mention that Eric Bortell of Cornerstone Builders assisted in the project. Our thanks to him as well.
