Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Elmira, NY

"Norb was quick to show up for the estimate, and gave a contract price that I felt was acceptable given the difficulty I had finding a contractor to commit to doing the work. He kept in good communication leading up to, and throughout, completion of the job. The total work from start to finish took about five or six business days. PROS - The flooring turned out excellent, and Norb gave good suggestions on the type and color of the flooring for the space. I would definitely hire him again for flooring install. The installation of the bathtub itself, tub and shower fixtures, and the toilet turned out good, and the leak ended up fixed. CONS - He did not test his plumbing after his initial installs, which led to two separate times that I tested it, and the new plumbing leaked. Of course, simple mistakes are easy to make, and one of the new leaks was a faulty part, but plumbers should know to test their plumbing before giving people the OK to use. Each time, he was responsive and fixed it immediately, it just made the process much more frustrating. Also, the paint job was less than professional. Half of the white trim is now painted blue, including the trim of the bathroom door which is literally half blue and half white. We never discussed painting the trim, and I'm not sure why anyone would. He also damaged sections of my front brick patio in the process of ripping out the old tub, and neither offered to fix it nor offered to reduce the cost of the job to allow me to pay a mason to come repair it, even after I mentioned the damage to him. Overall, the bathroom looks great at first glance, and the leak is fixed. I would only hire him again to install new flooring, which he was great at."

"Skyler from Merrill Home Renovation recently transformed my back porch into a beautiful and functional four-season multipurpose room, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation I had. His craftsmanship is exceptional — every detail is precise, beautifully finished, and clearly done with pride and skill. The room feels warm, inviting, and seamlessly integrated with the rest of my home, and I find myself smiling every time I walk into it. What truly set this project apart was Skyler’s professionalism. His communication was clear and consistent, he showed up when he said he would, and he kept the workspace clean and organized throughout the renovation. He stayed on schedule, stayed on budget, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Merrill Home Renovation. Skyler is talented, dependable, and committed to delivering top-quality results. I absolutely love my new room."

"Mike came out and looked at my land and my ideas. He was professional with honest feedback. I look forward to working with him and his company!"

"The manager came to our home as promised and spent nearly two hours measuring and calculating. I have no doubt that they would have done an amazing job, but the estimated cost was triple what we ended up spending. In a world where money isn't an object, I'd hire them in a minute."

"Mr. Loweth did **** of a great job. He was very professional, kept me informed of the progress, consulted me whenever decisions needed to be made, provided valuable advice, and carried out the work in the best possible way. Being a fantastic artist in another life, he had a sharp eye for detecting problems and creative ways for solving them. I found him to be extremely hardworking and he had great work ethics. The awesome part of having him do all these things was that he ended up doing far more than he had promised. I wasn't expecting all the things that he did to make my deck and porch look fantastic. In addition, he even fixed things that he saw needed small repairs without me even asking him to fix them at no extra charge. He paid attention to details and aesthetics. His work was of excellent quality. He is easily the best professional I have employed at my house. I highly recommend him. Super guy!!!"

"They have great pricing for the quality of work they do. Right before they started work I had to go in for emergency surgery for appendicitis. They made sure they sealed off the house before I came home from the hospital. They made sure the work did not disturb me when I came home from the hospital. They were as quiet as possible, so I was not bothered. They cleaned up well after themselves everyday."

"He is the world's greatest contractor. The company can do anything from restoration, to plumbing, to painting, so they are in high demand. He even starts the job early (if possible). The crew leaves my home clean at the end of the day. I wanted windows that were historically accurate and they were able to accommodate my needs. They can also replicate historic details. Their carpentry work is immaculate, and all of their work is perfect. They are trustworthy and I have even given them my house key and their own security code. They are the only company I will use in the future."

"The job was done quickly and neatly.  As problems or choices became apparent, Mr. Marion called immediately and discussed them all with us and quoted the added expense accurately.  The house looks much improved with the work done.  I would certainly use Mr. Marion again."
