Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Palmerton, PA

"It was quick, very affordable, very friendly to and they did the job well."

"The work was done well. The space was cleaned up after. The workers were well mannered and polite."

"My first impression of Mark was that he was just a downright nice guy. I had two contractors out before him and already had some estimates. What I appreciated about Mark was that he was a nice guy, but still able to be straight-forward about numbers and talk realistically about what needed done. This meant he could say what needed said, but he was still great talk work with. In fact, he gave me a higher number than my previous contractors -- but I truly believed him when he mentioned several things the other contractors missed in their estimates, and I would ultimately pay for anyway. Mark was just giving me the real cost upfront -- instead of nickel and diming me. In fact, he made it a point to try and avoid coming back with incremental increases -- even though I know he ran in to things that were unexpected. He kept to his estimate. As the project went along, some things did change but each step of the way he always made the right decision. For example, when he removed the drop ceiling in the kitchen to repair what we thought was as small area of falling ceiling -- he discovered it was much worse than he thought and he couldn't possibly do that much work considering that it was easily 3x more than it looked like it would be when we first took a peek at it. So instead, Mark made up for it in other ways. For example, one of the doors upstairs to the bathroom was an odd size. He could have taken a shortcut and put a door on it that worked -- but it would have opened in to the hallway...which would have been awkward. Instead, he built a custom edge to the door frame and made the door open in to the bathroom. This made the door look great and avoided an awkward-looking doorway. Mark often did things that made it obvious he intended to work on things to get a result he would be happy with, basically making sure that whatever he finished was something he would be happy with as if it were his own house. Many of the final touches were things I didn't even ask for -- he just 'did it' because he knew it was a minor thing but made a major impression. For instance, he painted all of the air vents and even washed the siding on the front porch. The entire project was finished in an impressive amount of time -- it was only a few days longer than he estimated, and it surprised me that he was able to do so. He was able to lead the entire job, doing most of the work himself and only bringing in folks when it made sense -- but overseeing the work quality. I can't overstate how happy and fortunate I was to find Mark. He's a stand-up guy, and straight-forward when it comes to talking through business in a way that makes it easy for you both to decide what will and won't work in terms of numbers, timing and scope of the effort. I found Mark through Angie's list and didn't know him before this. The fact that I found a negative review among so many positive reviews is something I actually appreciated. Because it gave me a chance to read his response to the negative review -- and I told him so. It's easy to be nice when things are going well, but if you read his response he was still able to keep his helpful and respectful demeanor. I thought that was a real sign of true character and based on my experience -- I was right. I highly recommend Mark for your consideration if you want someone who will be respectful, forthcoming and does incredible work. His extensive experience is obvious in his work and he's the first guy I am calling for my next investment property."

"Very well. Great service and repair technician"

"I knew it was going to be challenging to find an investor that would lend me money for this real estate venture.  I have lived 20 years in a four unit historic condominium building in downtown Jersey City and I wanted to buy the unit above me as an investment property.  But with Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac rules, they would not give me a loan because I would own half the building and this would give me too much control over condo association decisions.  I checked with Angie's List where Central Lending was well recommended and spoke with Mark, the president of Central Lending, about my situation and that I needed an unconventional loan outside of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac oversights.  After many disappointments and on the very last day of my contract with the seller, Mark found a lender.  And on the very last day of the window to the loan, it closed.  I cannot thank Mark and his assistant Judy enough for their patience and steadfast of seeing this through.  I cannot tell you the emotional roller-coaster ride I went through during the 4 1/2 month duration.  There were many moments that I wanted to give up but Mark reassured me that the sale would happen.  Without Mark's personal intervention with the lender and title company, this deal would not have closed.   You can be sure that when I am in the market to buy unit #3, I will not hesitate to contact Central Lending.  Thank you so much."

"The designer was always very attentive when I contacted him and would answer (in detail) the numerous questions I would pose. The two contractors who showed up at my home were just as professional and pleasurable to work with. over the course of the week they were coming to my house, any ideas or suggestions from either side were always hashed out as they would materialize and by the end of the project, the end project was essentially exactly as I'd constructed it in my head. The only slight con to the end result was more-so of my own doing than anyone else's, where the light fixtures I'd purchased for the replacement did not come with rods, so a couple of the pendant lights hang crooked."

"My experience was great. Dennie was very responsive after I made the initial contact though Angie's List. I included pictures of my old damaged sink. Dennie gave me a quote over the phone and he agreed to come to my home which was an hour and a half way. We made the appointment, he arrived on time and I had a newly resurfaced sink in about 4 hours. I would hire Dennie again. He was responsive to my calls, on time and did wonderful work. He cleaned up everything perfectly. My sink looks like new!"

"They came out after buying a great deal thru AL, he was right on time, he walked the site and told me what need it to be done, he advised on some extra work that need it to be done. We agreed he would come back to fix the issues we discussed. The first time someone else showed up on an unmarked van. The van was parked outside my house for sometime and it wasn't until my wife told me there was someone on the roof I realized he was there to do the job. Did not like that there was no communication, I was not told the guy was on his way, the guy did not tell me he was there to do the job or called prior to getting on the roof. It could've been an accident if I thought he was there for other reason.
I also had an issue since they responded to my first inquiry right away but somewhere in between the communication stopped until after the job was done and payment was expected. Again the first guy that came out was great, the guy that came to do the job was good but also told me about other things I did not talk to the first guy about, also promoting his own bussiness, which lead me to believe he was a sub-contractor. 
      I decided to go with them for another job, again quick initial response I was told about a date in which they would come out and ...nothing, 3 weeks later here they come to do the job after I had talked to other companies to do it. Luckily the other companies could not come out until later therefore I allowed the to do the job, plus we decided on a cheaper price. I was home and did not want other guys to try to scare my wife into spending extra on something we may or not need.
     Again seems to be a scheduling/communication problem, the guys seem legit, good price and know what they are doing, but they need to talk to each other (office and site techs) and communicate with the customer.
     I would try them one more time, if any issues then I would have to move on to another company for my roofing needs.

"Jeremy and Donny were excellent. They finished the job in the allotted time. They were easy to talk with during the project. We've now got the biggest deck on our entire street. My neighbor even hired them on the spot to put a staircase on his deck. By the time they left, we developed an amazing relationship. We already have them coming back for another massive project in our home. Definitely one of the best crews I've ever seen work together and definitely a great hiring choice"

"Adam was very professional and easy to deal with. Very fair on price and always kept you informed. He showed up early with a crew of guys, tarped house, knocked out job and cleaned up everything. Adam even fixed a few things that he noticed that other contractor's (who gave me estimates) missed. Askon Construction has my highest recommendations. Job well done."
