"Ricardo just finished installing baseboards on my home. Can’t recommend him enough for the quality of work that he performed. It’s refreshing to find a contractor who takes their work seriously. The value for the service was outstanding. He showed up on time every day and stayed late hardly taking a break. He took care to respect and respond to every request. I will be having him return for many more projects since I am getting up in years can’t do what I used to but Ricardo performed as I would have done on my own home."

"Bait and switch. I obtained multiple quotes for my foundation. Dalinghaus Construction quoted me 19 piers to stabilize my home. I questioned why their competitors were quoting me over 30 piers; and they reassured me I was being over quoted by their competitors. Long story short, I went with Dalinghaus. During construction, a rep (David F) came by to drop off some tools and found that 19 piers would not be enough. They said I needed 14 more piers (totaling 33– same as their competitors). I’m stuck because I cannot leave my home half stabilized. No other reputable company would complete the job if another company started it. I was obligated to move forward with Dalinghaus. No one called to apologize for the misstep. They invoiced me and could care less how much this would affect my family. They proceeded to install14 more piers but left 14 large holes— they said backfilling was not part of the scope of work, while the original 19 were backfilled. Insanely strange why they think I wanted 14 large holes at my home. So this is where they gave me a “discount.” They backfilled the holes for free. Free? It should be included in the work. All in all, why do I have to pay for a mistake of this magnitude? I’ve tried to work it out with them peacefully but they have not provided me anything that would make this right. Only excuses why they should not compensate me. They have no integrity. They only care about their reputation at this point (they want my bbb review taken down). I would like to be compensated for the 14 additional piers that were missed from the original quote. 14 additional piers is a completely new job, not a “new work order.” They are the professional and should have done a more thorough assessment to provide me an accurate quote. Their competitors seemed to have done so but I was sadly duped by Dalinghaus. They baited me in and switched the price after the work started. $38k is a lot to lose. I have 2 small children and a home that needs to be completed. Ps. I’ve been waiting over 2 months for a resolution."

"Mike, Joe, and the rest of the Gold Coast crew were INCREDIBLE. We were referred to them for aggressive mold that was unfortunately caused by poor ventilation and construction of our new home. They were beyond prompt, transparent, and professional and ensured that our situation was handled with the highest level of detail and quality. The communication and follow-up that the whole company provided put us at ease (as much as possible for the stressful situation). They managed to get the project wrapped up before promised and cleared/certified within that timeline as well. What's more, they helped us with a temporary solution to ensure that we would still have access to the portion of our house while we waited for construction to come rebuild. I highly recommend Gold Coast Restoration to ANYONE"

"Horrible company to deal with. They came out to help to bring the elevator to the first floor. It was stuck due to a power outage on the block. They came out at 3pm Thursday and overcharged us overtime and travel time. As you can see from their publish hours 3 pm is within their working hours. They didn't tell us the overtime rate nor tell us that we would be charged over time.The service took under 45 minutes. Smartrise billed us for two hours at 454.00 an hour, total 908.00. When I spoke to Art at the company trying to discuss the proper amount for this service, he used profanity and name calling. Art hung up on me rather than communicate."
