Home Force Builders Inc

It went extremely well. Mike Bovio is absolutely wonderful to work with. I would choose Home Force Builders over and over again. Each project was done to an excellent degree. All clean up was done before they left for the day. They were punctual, honest and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them.

I would recommend this company for so many reasons. They were prompt, professional , friendly, so reasonably priced ,communicated every step of the way. I would highly recommend this company.

Above all, the professionalism of Home Force Builders was stellar. They were responsive, listened to my needs and executed wonderfully. The price was above and beyond worth the end product. Our bathroom is absolutely beautiful, I never want to leave it. The paint job was done with precision and exacting standards, no stone was left unturned. They were always on time and very non-evasive when in my home, and conscientious of my space while working from home. A special shout out that they even took my dog for a walk because he needed to go out while I wasn't home :) I would highly recommend Home Force Builders for your home improvement leads.

Mike Bovio, the owner, is a great and honest guy. He is also a great craftsman. So is his assistant Tony. We have used them before on a bathroom remodel. They are always on time, very professional, meticulous and clean up after each days work. They are open to suggestions and make changes along the way if needed. They turned a beat up 1970's into a modern day masterpiece. We would highly recommend them and use them again in a heartbeat.

It was excellent. Mike and his crew were professional, knowledgable and timely. Mike laid out a time line before the project started and he and his men stuck to it. They were here every day at 8 am. I have had jobs done by other contractors where they just wouldn't show up for a couple days, Not Home Force Builders! We are extremely pleased with our final product, I love my new home .

Mike and his team did a phenomenal job on my salon remodel. He was always on time, organized, kept a clean working area, communicated every step of the way. I cannot express how grateful I am to have found him. I will never use anyone else for my business or home remodeling. I HIGHLY recommend Home Force Builders.

New electrical line was run with minimal disruption.

I can not say enough positive things about Home Force Builders. I hired Mike and his crew to remodel our kitchen. The entire process from bid to completion took five weeks, and looked exactly as I hoped it would, if not better. I will say it was sometimes difficult to get ahold of Mike through the first bid stages; however, as the project stared communication was great. Mike does a great job of producing estimates and invoices. Every task is itemized and given a description and estimate. Regular invoices are produced to track progress and work completed. The bid came in at cost with no surprises. John and Junior is the crew that worked on our project. They are professional, very hard working, meticulous, attentive, and respectful. They take great pride in their work and it shows. I especially liked that they kept us up to speed on development on a daily basis. We are very pleased with the turn out of our kitchen and mudroom. We recommend Home Force Builders.

The powder room looks amazing! It was done on time, within budget as quoted, and most of all, Home Force Builders were easy to work with, arrived on time, kept us informed, cleaned up the area well, and took pride in doing a great job. We will hire them again.

Home Force Builders, Inc. did an incredible job on our kitchen and downstairs bath remodel. We had new lighting, floors refinished, tile back splash and all new cabinetry put in. Mike Bovio and his crew have an incredible eye for detail and are very meticulous with their work. Every night, before they left, they cleaned up and made the kitchen as functional as it could be for us to use. They were prompt when arriving in the morning. Our project finished on time and we were never waiting for Mike or any of his crew in order to get on to the next step. We would use Home Force Builders, Inc again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone who will listen.

Mike & Tom did a great job. i can rest assured that the work was done right.  They were prompt & always polite. They gave me a recommendation on under cabinet lighting that gave us a few minor problems, but in the end they stood behind the product &  got it installed to our satisfaction. The quality of their work is excellent. 

<p>We needed to have our first floor powder room converted to a full handicap accessible bathroom after my husband was injured in a work accident last summer.  The insurance company asked us to get two estimates.  We found Home Force Builders after reading their excellent reviews on Angie’s List.  Mike returned my phone call promptly and was able to come out within 48 hours.  During the estimate, I explained that in order for my husband to return home, we would need to have a full bath on the main floor.  We had room to expand our bathroom into the hallway and closet space adjacent to it.  Mike took measurements, made a drawing of the new spaces, and listened to and gave me ideas.  He was genuinely concerned for my husband and family, and let me know that he would do whatever it took to get this project finished so that our home would be safe for his return.  Before he left, he gave me names of the vendors that he used so that I could start picking out the tile, vanity, fixtures, etc.  He had a detailed estimate completed a few days later.  It was up to the insurance company to approve the budget and contractor, which took almost two months.  Mike made himself available to start about 2 weeks after the approval (because of Christmas), asking a return client to postpone their project due to the special circumstances of our job.  He even went to the village ahead of time to inquire about getting the permit approved more quickly, and everything was on track to start Dec 28th.  Mike, Tony N and crew were prompt, quiet, neat, and communicated well throughout the whole process.  They started at 8 am every day and finished up around 2:30, even New Year's Eve.  I was home the first week on winter break, and the construction and noise barely disrupted us in our home.  Mike was on site every day, so the same person who I worked on with the estimate and design plans was the one that was on the project, which wouldn’t happen with a larger company.  No detail was missed.  One of my favorite things about our bathroom was a suggestion by Mike, which was an exhaust fan with a Bluetooth speaker.  I would have never thought of it, and it makes for an even more enjoyable shower.  As the project was underway, I requested an extra niche above the toilet, an outlet on the floor under our new couch, and painting our whole laundry room and finishing the trim in that room (instead of just repainting the two affected walls).  They also helped move heavy objects, like a dresser from upstairs and moved and mounted a large taxidermy piece, without a second thought.  Also included in the work was an extra set of handrails to the second floor and railings for the garage entry steps.  My kids were sad when they had to go back to school because they couldn’t watch Mike and Tony work or ask them questions anymore.  The design I had in mind was very specific with the tile layout (not a brick pattern), seamless floor into the shower, teak bench installed, floating vanity… They did everything exactly as I envisioned, and exceeded my expectations with their own design touches, ideas, and beautiful workmanship.  The bathroom is like a spa, with marble tile nicer than any hotel or spa I have ever visited.  The estimate had mid-grade fixtures and materials quoted for the insurance company, and I either bought the luxury items separately or paid for the overages at the end of the job as agreed upon.  I could not have picked a better company to work with.  They went out of their way for my family from the day I first called.  I had a very stressful time working with the insurance company trying to get things approved so that my husband could return home.  They were so easy to work with and accommodating from the quote to the final inspection, I can’t imagine it going any better than it did.  I will absolutely be contacting Home Force Builders in the future for projects and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know.  They made it possible for my husband to return home to continue his recovery with his family, and for that I cannot thank them enough.</p>

<p>We received a number of quotes to install a very complicated back splash and Home Force came in very competitive as far as pricing goes.  They differentiated themselves in the quoting process by providing a very detailed quote of items I myself did not even think of, for example "remove outlet covers, adjust outlets to be even with the tile, reinstall outlet covers" Even before the project began we were very comfortable that Home Force had an expertise in the area of tile and the very complicated pattern I was requesting to be installed would come out beautiful.  Mike and Tony were also very flexible with installation timing as we experienced some delays in receipt of tile ordered.  As other reviewers have mentioned Mike and Tony were very professional and clean.  I'm sure I will be using them for additional projects in the future.</p>

Excellent. Very good workman. Excellent job. <br />

The three-man team that arrived was wonderful.  On time, incredibly talented, very professional.  They were certain to cover all areas well, and did everything in one day.  <br />

Mike and Tony were awesome. They were always on time and the work was wrapped up exactly when they said it would be. They were clean and courteous about making sure my light carpet on the first floor was kept clean on entering and leaving. Mike communicated everything they were doing and listened to what I wanted. I had an old paint color on my walls that had changed in color a little bit because of VOCs (?) and Mike made sure to match it perfectly to the rest of the walls. I came home after work on the day they were finished to a beautiful basement! Very nice people!!! <br />

Happy, happy, happy! <br /> I cannot speak highly enough regarding the quality of the work performed. Demolition of old bath.  Installation of new tub, vanity and sink,  mirror, toilet, floor and bath tile, bath fan, and light fixtures. <br /> Mike and Tony were wonderful to work with.  Work began and ended in the promised time frame.  They cleaned up every day when they finished working and created the least amount of mess and chaos as possible.   <br /> The attention to every detail was very apparent.  The tile cuts are beautiful and the caulk lines are perfect. <br /> I would not hesitate to recommend Home Force Builders to anyone. <br /> As often happens, as the work progressed, we made some changes and they accommodated every request and made helpful suggestions that greatly improved the finished product. <br /> Home Force Builders understands and practices customer service!   <br /> I was dreading having the bath redone but the process was painless from start to finish. <br /> Thank you! <br /> <br /> <br />

Make darn sure you look over his work carefully before final payment, because if you find a mistake later, good luck getting him to honor his "one year guarantee".  If you do find a problem you better approach <br /> him sweetly, because if you are critical of his work he becomes unglued and will refuse to rectify his mistakes. If he can he will blame you for his mistake . First off some things I paid for and didn't get. They didn't paint <br /> . the display deck. They left it unpainted and caked in drywall dust. They didn't put back the two wall sconces lights, the three can lights, the three vent covers, and some wall cover plates. The drywall work is nothing to brag about. On the ceiling, their drywall coats were not feather edge sanded, so you can see obvious ridges between drywall and taping mud.  <br /> During our initial walkthrough, as part of the work, I pointed out that quote "SOME of the door trim plinth blocks are loose and need to be nailed". It became part of the job.  He somehow wasn't listening, misunderstood, or forgot my instructions and ran his baseboard to lose plinth blocks that had shifted from their proper location.  Now putting them into the proper centered location would make the baseboard  to short on three walls. I will cut/paste his responses so excuse his spelling. First his excuse is, cut/paste email quote " Are they or were they even nailed in? If they weren't nailed in they could have moved."  That's an odd thing to say. You need to remember this was part of the job. <br /> Then next he writes, cut/paste email quote ". This is to bad. we never had anything to do with the plinth <br /> blocks I never even really looked at them because we were not there to do anything with them"......  Isn't <br /> that amazing. I was so dumb founded reading that. Remember this scope of work was <br /> part of the job. <br /> Then he writes cut/paste quote" Also you said my placement is incorrect, I did not install them you did. "........ It's MY fault? No I did not install all of them. He was supposed to check for the loose ones and nail them down. That was his job. <br /> Then in another email he admits we talked about the plinth blocks but to him the words "some blocks are <br /> lose and need to be nailed" means just one. Here is another email cut/paste quote, " And yes we did talk about a plinth block in the hallway that you specifically pointed out to me that had no nails in it so we nailed it in for you other than that I did no  Iknow that none of the other plinth blocks either only had 1 nail or none at all (witch was a mistake on your part they should of been nailed in."....... So now once again it's my fault because I used ONE block as an example of many when I really should have took him by the hand, pointed them all out individually and just to be sure, marked all the loose ones with an X. <br /> During the initial walk through, he needs to listen VERY carefully to the owners, maybe write things down. <br /> If you are critical of his work he becomes completely unglued. I wrote him and told him cut/paste from my email, " I am astounded. It looks like the base was all cut short and the plinths were kicked over to save the <br />  day. OMG those three words "save the day". Look out. He becomes  inappropriately defensive, hostile, and decides that now he's was not willing to do anything because of how insulting I was. He even puts that down in black and white. So much for that warranty. <br /> His incensed cut and paste email quotes " I don't appreciate being accused of doing half a** work to "SAVE THE DAY" or being called a liar."..........." . Now you are calling me a liar with out actually saying it.........." <br /> Gary decided to email me telling me that I am not being honest, if we were good carpenters we would have noticed the plinth blocks, telling me that I moved them because I cut my trim short to SAVE THE DAY. Any way at that point I was not willing to do anything because of how insulting Gary was and obviously was <br /> convinced that we do half a** work. <br /> So if he feels you've insulted  him he will not honor his one year guarantee.  You have it right there from the horse's mouth. "At that point I was not willing to do anything because of how insulting Gary was". He has an immature, hostile, unprofessional way of responding to criticism. <br /> I ended up doing the repairs plus the display deck and put back all the light trims and sconces. I tried to back  charge him. This is what he had to say in an email "Just because you have some kind of OCD and decided our work was not good enough for you and did some work your self dose not entitle you to a refund for the work you say you did.  <br /> Nuff said there. <br />

When I was looking for someone to do this project, I had a really hard time even reaching someone or have them call me back for an installation. Mike called me back the same day that I left him a message, and was out for an estimate the following Saturday. When I decided to go ahead with the work, Mike was able to schedule the work for about three weeks later.   <br /> The job took three days; Mike arrived on time each morning. Throughout the whole project, he kept me updated on their progress and on the steps that were going to be next. The guys were very care pulling up and reinstalling my base boards, and I was very pleased with the installation of the tile as well as the vanity and toilet. The tile looks beautiful and it was installed exactly they way that I wanted. <br /> In addition to the quality of the work, I was very pleased with how well the guys cleaned up when they were done. In addition to cleaning up the hallway and bathroom, they removed the old vanity and toilet. We had done removed the carpet and tile that was on the floors ourselves, and we had the old tile and carpet in the garage for disposal at a later date. Even though I did not ask them to, Mike's team also removed that old tile and carpet for me. They definitely went the extra mile for me.  <br />

I called Mike the week before Thanksgiving. They were able to fit me in the week of thanksgiving and assured me that the work would be complete before the holiday. They showed up on time an worked until the job was complete. The workmanship is excellent and the clean-up as amazing. I am very happy with the finished project. <br /> I will quote them in a couple of months for 2 bathrooms. <br />

Mike and his crew were fantastic to work with. They were punctual every morning and at the end of each day, left the construction areas tidy and cleaned up.  At all times they conducted themselves professionally and were respectful and pleasant. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Work Force Builders to any one looking for a skilled and reputable contractor. <br />

They teams was incredily responsive. They worked with us to get materials, worked quickly - cleaned up very well. I am so pleased with the result, it is beautiful, and I will definitely use them again. <br />

From the day Michael came for the estimate through the final day of work, everything was completed in a professional and friendly manner. Michael & Tony were always on time, did what they said they would do and finished on schedule. they were very courteous even with having to deal with our 2 crazy barking dogs for 6 days! Our new porcelain tile floors and back splash are beautiful. Can't say enough great tings about them!!! <br />

Each time they have done work for us, they do an excellent job.  Not only do they do quality work, they arrive as scheduled and back up their work with a three year guarantee.  The bathroom is beautiful.  I love it!  Mike's suggestions during the planning phase were especially helpful. They have experts in tiling, plumbing & painting at their fingertips to get the job done right.  The most recent job took about a week to complete and they cleaned up each night and didn't disrupt our home any more than necessary during the remodel.  With one of the previous jobs, we noticed some excessive vibration of the fan depite proper installation.  They promplty returned to resolve the problem.  They are great to work with and responsive in communication throughout the process. <br />
