"I cannot say enough good things about this company and the owner, Angelo. He designed and built a new dining room addition and remodeled my existing deck. He communicated with me every step of the way and responded immediately to any and all of my inquiries. Two years after the project was completed, I had a small issue. I called Angelo and immediately he scheduled a team to come and repair it for me. The quality the work is beyond reproach. I would recommend Angelo and AP contractors without hesitation."

"I called Mike after we discovered a leak in a window was not taken care of by installation of a new window. The project was open-ended and required investigation of the source of the leak which wouldn't be determined until the siding was removed. Mike was thorough in his investigation of the problem and up front about pricing being a bit of an unknown and gave me a minimum bid which we agreed to readily. Once the siding was removed the source of the problem was quickly diagnosed and fixed. Mike gave us documentation for the window company and advice on how to proceed. He will return to address further outdoor water damage once the rest of the windows have been replaced. Mike is honest, knowledgeable, and capable of handling issues that others couldn't even begin to address. We are grateful for his expertise and guidance and will be using him in the future."

"We remodeled our master bath and dressing room, which included replacing an 84” vanity and sink, updating tub/shower, installing new tub and toilet, installing new tile flooring, and painting bath, dressing room, master bedroom and closets. While Marek Matisse, the person doing the work showed up every day, his work was subpar and he was not respectful of our home and furnishings. He wasn’t always prepared to work because he didn’t bring equipment he needed. He was constantly borrowing tools, not always returned. He needed a work light one day, and decided to use a brand new $750 lamp with a fabric shade. He didn’t ask to use it. I only realized it when he complained that it didn’t have bulbs in it. He also very badly scratched our cherry dresser, leaving a very deep gouge. The work did not start well when I wanted to keep a 4’x7’ vanity mirror to reinstall on our bedroom wall. Project manager Mike Rosseland and Marek both told me it couldn’t be removed without breaking it. Interestingly, they just happened to remove it when I was not scheduled to be home. Fortunately, I returned early to find a glass truck in my garage and Marek and another man removing my intact mirror to the truck. They refused to bring the mirror back up, saying it would break. In other words, if they couldn’t take it, they would make sure that we could no longer use it. It will cost us at least $1000 to replace that mirror. Vanity outlets were added and replaced with GFI. Unfortunately, they were not properly located and are not to code. We installed a mosaic tile border in the shower and vanity backsplash. The tiles were not installed evenly in several places and grout lines therefore do not match. Very shoddy. We installed special order tile and Mike Rosseland, the project manager, didn’t want to determine the amount we needed. As he told me, “We just order a bunch of tile and take back what we don’t use.” Returning unused tile was not an option as it was all special order, and Mike understood that very well. And the tile was expensive. Still, Mike apparently doesn’t know how to do math. I spent an entire afternoon measuring and calculating the amount of tile, and included an additional 20% as Mike recommended for cuts, etc. We agreed on the amount of tile to be ordered, however Mike still ordered boxes more tile than we needed and agreed to. He then very generously offered to take the excess off of my hands, but only if he didn’t have to pay me for it. We still have boxes of unused tile. The painting that was supposed to be done was incomplete. The walls, ceiling and 2 doors were painted, but the closets and trim were not. The trim paint that we paid for also disappeared. We had several issues at the end that we waited at least months for them to address. It wasn’t until the closet rod pulled out of the wall that Mike responded. These above issues, as well as severely yellowed tub caulk, were not resolved. The closet wall was patched and the wall repainted, which was when we learned that the closets had not been painted. When Mike finally responded 6 months later after repeated calls, he insisted that the door and trim paint were the same (they definitely are not) and that the closets had been painted."

"I needed 3 above grade windows in my basement replaced. The company who replaced the windows in the rest of my house would not come back for 3 windows. I contacted another basement window company, and they said the windows were too custom for them to install. Vince came out, assessed, measured and provided a fast quote. The installation happened ahead of schedule and turned out fantastic. Vince was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to match the new windows with the existing almost perfectly. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using Exterior Remodeling, Inc for other projects in the future."

"Stratagem created a new kitchen and two baths for our family. It was a big project, significant investment, and enormous success! It's hard to believe the transformation of each space, which was in various states of disrepair from severe to total. We worked within the existing footprint and made complete replacement of every element. The end result is functional and beautiful. We are so grateful for our new old home. I doubt many companies can handle the challenges and quirks that such an old structure (1880) brings with it so well. Every room as it was unmasked presented unwelcome surprises, such as 'remedial' plumbing, rot, etc, but Stratagem anticipated these and fixed each as they arose. The quality of the build is excellent. The crew were so hardworking, professional, and friendly. Everyone I had communications with on the administrative end were also incredibly responsive. Embarking on renovations is stressful for any homeowner, I imagine, no matter what the circumstances are, but the experience of the whole team made the process very smooth for us. Truly the best!"
