I made an appointment using their website to meet with them over a week ago. I took the day off from work and drove over an hour to be at the appointment, their office was closed. No one answered their phone nor did they reach out to me to cancel or reschedule the appointment.UPDATE: I've changed my initial 1 star to 3 stars as the president of the company, Luke Roark, reached out to me personally to apologize for this incident. Apparently there was a glitch when I made the appointment and an option to meet in person (which was not supposed to be an option) caused the scheduling mishap. We have agreed to have another meeting and I will update this review accordingly over the next few weeks.
?????????? "New house, Same address"I like to think our project took place during an interesting time of transition and growth for Commonwealth Contractors as a company. Our time with them spanned roughly a year as opposed to the shortened timeline we had originally anticipated. Our project was not without its frustrations. We experienced a lot of turnover to Luke & David's core staff, missteps in filing permits, and also a myriad of changes to the subcontractors they used and entrusted. I do believe a lot of these difficulties stem from the aftermath of COVID and all the challenges it presented to the industry. I also believe a lot was due to Luke & David not only rerouting their ship, but reshaping their organization as a whole.Does that sound like a five star review?Well, actually, yes. It is.Because despite these challenges and setbacks, I still can't give Luke and David anything less than five stars because our house is absolutely stunning. There is not a person that sees it who does not comment on how absolutely beautiful the transformation was. They took my vision and made it everything I wanted and more!Not only was the final product amazing, but Luke and David are wonderful to work with. They were so patient and thorough in communication, and I was always greeted with a friendly face. They also remedied any mistakes without hesitation. For example, one of the subs they used had installed the stair stringers and I was unhappy with several parts of the installation. Instead of just fixing the immediate issues and working with what they had, they instead ripped it all out and built it again from scratch (and the result was perfect). Any time something looked off or done not to their specifications, it was quickly rectified no matter how costly or time consuming a fix would be.Our project was completed over a year ago, but just a few months back David came by to check in and saw one of the gutters had an issue that caused part of it to peel outward. He quickly had his team come out and replace the entire section for us.Frustrations and setbacks on a project of this size is to be expected no matter who you hire, but I truly believe Luke and David have built a company that will deliver nothing less than world-class results. We will love and enjoy every inch of this beautiful home for many years to come, and it would not have been possible without them.
Luke was very responsive and professional. He was very helpful in every steps of the building progress. We asked them to build a rear deck and the work is fantastic. They are very dedicated, considerate and even go above and beyond. They brought our design vision to light (figuratively and literally)! Their attention to details is great and I would highly recommend them for your next renovation or new construction. Thank you so much for your great work!!
We hired Commonwealth for a complete tear-down and rebuild of our deck and added a screen porch in the process. Their quality of work and attention to detail are second to none and they were up front and honest about all pricing.
We were very happy with the work Luke and his team did on our Trex deck repair. We highly recommend Commonwealth Contractors for any job - big or small. Great guys to work with!
