Kevin Dale presented himself well and seemed to have the experience to do our job. The scope of work was fairly large as we were renovating a 1948 house, including vaulting the ceiling. We were on a time deadline and needed the project completed in a timely manner. The beginning went well with the demo. We had an architect involved for sizing the beam needed for the vault. The day that the beam was to go in, we found out that there was an old oil furnace directly where the support needed to be. We had to rush to find someone who could remove the furnace. After that, the framing seemed to go well. That's where things fell apart. We were to have the house rewired and apparently the electrician that Kevin had hired took another job and because building was in high gear, he had trouble finding someone to do the job. Several weeks went by with no work done. The wiring was finally done, but at present, when you use a waffle iron in the kitchen, it blows a circuit. (We had even had the service upgraded to 200 amp, so there is plenty of available power.) We had to have the main water shutoff in the house moved and now the shutoff doesn't shut off the water. The date for completion was supposed to be July 31 and since notice needed to be given to a current landlord, I asked Kevin about a completion date and he said that to be on the safe side Aug. 15 would probably be better. Our arrangement was to install all of the trim and do the painting. Since we were flying out to do this, we needed prior notice of when this would be available to be done. The date that was given ended up being about a month earlier than it was ready. Because the ticket had been bought, Kevin agreed to install the trim in compensation. Sounds good, but he used his framing carpenters to do it. Not the same skill set. He also used them and new workers for the drywall taping and mudding. It took weeks and many call-backs to get most of it in at-least presentable condition. There were so many other annoying things involved. In mid September, when he was given a day and time to correct a list of things or forfeit a (small) amount of the last payment, He and his crew showed up at 4 PM that day and then was miffed that he was going to lose that money because he couldn't get everything done that day. We tried to work with Kevin, but he often would not respond to emails and just seemed to ignore criticism. There were weeks in the last month (a month and a half after the original completion date) when his crew would be there for 4 hours out of the entire week. This turned out to be a very stressful remodel and I would advise people to avoid Estate Renovations.

I needed help to replace a kitchen faucet, Joseph was one of the first that responded to my inquiry. He gave me a set price that cost much less than other companies’ estimates. Very professional, punctual and respectful. I will definitely be using his service in the future

These guys were awesome did a great job got it fixed and did an inspection to show me where we may have other issues that may need attention. I will be calling them when we are ready to tackle other issues in our home. The home is 122 years old so yes we are going to have issues

Steve was very easy to work with. His knowledge on the order and the way things should be done was really helpful. It only took a couple weeks to install 2000 sq ft of Red Oak with a coffee stain and 12 steps ,trim and he did a full bathroom remodel with the works he went above and beyond with his workmanship and creativity. Can't wait to have him back for the kitchen remodel.

TBH Sterling is the best contractor I've hired in the past 20+ years. Dave and his team provided excellent customer service: maintaining the project on time, communicating effectively, taking responsibility when issues arose, and producing an exemplary remodel for our home at a reasonable price point.

We worked with John and the J&C team on a major renovation throughout 2023-2024, adding a 1,000 sq ft second-story addition to our 1909 craftsman home. They managed to preserve the character and architectural integrity of our original house, which was extremely important to us, while extending it upward. The new level blends perfectly, so unless you saw the house under construction, I truly believe you’d never guess it wasn’t part of the original design. The addition J&C led includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and the team also reconfigured the main floor by opening up a bedroom to create a cozy family nook off the kitchen. They completed essential structural work as well, including full earthquake retrofitting. Throughout the project, John and his team were very professional. Their attention to detail, thoughtful recommendations, clear communication, and commitment to staying on budget were fantastic. They worked hard every day and kept us informed throughout the project. We SO LOVE how the house turned out, as this was a huge project, and J&C exceeded our expectations. We definitely plan to work with John again in the future. Highly recommend!
