Halpert Construction

First and foremost, I apologize for the late review. Mark is a great communicator. As most of the work was done while I was at work and my dog was at daycare, I truly appreciated all of his communications via text. He would send me photos too to show me the progress. I did appreciate that. He was always available to me via phone call or text. That also put my mind at ease. Mark met with me to review the project and give me an estimate. I met with 2 other contractors and Mark seemed to have a good vibe, so I chose his company. He has also done other jobs in the area and I liked that too. Bathroom remodel- Completely gutted it. Very small bathroom, and partially remodeled before, so I wanted it to be a nice, complete upgrade. All new fixtures, vanity, small cabinet, medicine cabinet, bathtub- mostly purchased from Lowes. Mark picked up the bathtub that I purchased at Home Depot and brought it to my house for installation. ( When I was shopping for items and I had questions, I would text him with photos and he would respond to my texts so I could make timely decisions). Subway tile in the bath/ shower area, with a small window shelf on the back wall. Marble penny tile on the floor. Textured walls to match the rest of the house. Painted walls, rehinged door to open the opposite way, repainted door, baseboards. Kitchen lights- such a difference with LED lights in the kitchen. I can see. Kitchen door- he fixed the hinge so that the door closes snugly and even. Baseboards/Crown molding- These make such a difference in the appearance of my house. There are a few gaps in the connected pieces, but overall it looks nice. Minor paint spills on the floor, but nothing major. I love them. Ceiling crack repair/painted walls and ceilings- The ceilings look awesome. I had cracks that extended from one end to another in the living room and master bedroom, that was just an eyesore. They flushed it out and repainted both ceilings afterwards and it looks like new. Yippee. Drywall repair- I had a huge piece of a closet wall missing from an electrical upgrade done to my panel on the exterior wall of my closet. That was several years ago. So I asked Mark if they could repair it. He did, they repainted the inside of the closet too. It's like new. I can't express how happy I am with the process of this remodel and other projects when working with Mark Halpert construction. His team was nice, clean and prompt. Again, I chose them since the reviews were good and he was reasonably priced. I have had really bad experiences with other contractors, and Mark and his team were easy to work with. I would definitely hire them again for future projects.

Water seepage from our master bath created an extensive mould problem in our 1960's two story town-house. It took us about 18 months to plan our remodel, and in that time I spoke to eight or nine different contractors before we chose Mark. Working with Mark, we were able to manage costs and finish the job at a lower price point than quotes received from other outfits for the same work. We are extremely happy with the work done, as well as the professionalism, communication, and transparency of Mark and his team. We had the house appraised at the end of the job and it seems the remodel has lifted the property into a premium price bracket. What more could you want?

Halpert Construction was our guardian angel. We were having our upstairs bathroom re-tiled when the installer found that after removing the toilet, it had leaked underneath over the years and as a result the floorboards were destroyed. The installers couldn?t go any further and were not licensed/bonded for construction. We called Mark Halpert, who at the time was on another job, but was able to come out in about an hour to assess our situation. After checking out the extent of the damage and determining what was needed to repair it, he was able to give us a reasonable estimate and make the repairs. The whole process took little over 2-3 hours and allowed our original project to continue without any delay. Mark was very professional and courteous throughout and we would recommend his services to anyone with construction needs.

He has advised me, free of charge, on problem solving construction issues, and even provided me with contractor referrals. He's a very knowledgeable, helpful person who understands the meaning of long term business relationships. Hats off to Mark for his experience and integrity!

Mark Halpert of Halpert Construction was all the things one hopes to find in a contractor: Professional, punctual, patient, communicative, collaborative, flexible, thorough, trustworthy and tidy. Depending on the size of the job, Mark also brings one or two helpers to assist him. His tile guy Raphael is quite talented as well. Mark is a skilled professional and is often managing multiple clients. He is well worth the (short) wait, and adapts easily to changing schedules and (client induced) scope creep. Absolutely thrilled with the work Mark completed and would not hesitate to use him again.

We had two bathrooms re-modeled by Halpert Construction. Mark was very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. His work crew was very polite and pleasant to be around. Mark made sure that everything was done to our satisfaction and went out of his way to help me pick out just the right granite for the bathroom vanity counter top. The experience from start to finish was enjoyable! There we no extra charges from his original quote, every thing came out as he stated. Even our little dog enjoyed Mark and his men! We would use Mark Halpert Construction again in a heart beat and recommend him highly for any type of home remodel.

The projects went great overall. Halpert Construction worked within the time frame promised, followed through well to completion, priced out within the average of the bids that were received, and any client of this company should expect to be pleased with the work of Halpert Construction.

We met with Mark to discuss a master bathroom remodel. We liked him the best out of the few contractors that we met with, and his price was right within budget, so I had him draw up a contract to sign and get the ball rolling. He told me that he would not be able to start work for about a month, but since we felt the most comfortable with him we told him that we wouldn't mind waiting until he had availability. It took about a week and a half to receive a contract, and we received it right before he left for a long weekend. We had set up to meet him when he returned at a tile store to sign the contract, give him our deposit, and get the tile ordered. My wife and I took time off of work and drove to the tile store for our meeting with Mark. He sent us a text message at the time that he was supposed to show up for our meeting saying that he would not be able to take our job anymore because his current client had added more work to their job among other things. Let me make this clear, I completely understand that a contractor would rather take work for an existing client or would rather take a job that might be paying more, so that is not the reason why I am writing a bad review. The 1 star is due to the fact that Mark wasted 2 weeks of our time by not being up front about his current client, and the fact that he wouldn't even give me a phone call to tell this to me while we were waiting for him to show up to our meeting. That is simply not the way to conduct business.

The company was very quick to respond to my request, letting me know that they were booked for the coming 3 months. Very nice, very professional and very prompt. I did ask if I could get a bid anyway, since at the time we were not sure if we would be getting the money to do the job right away (refinance). I didn't get a response to that email, but they had already declined the job, so I don't blame them much for that! The request was for a complete remodel (down to the studs) of a 1930's era house with a newer addition and a questionable "dry concrete" slab and foundation.

Mark was very responsive, and met me at the houses on 2 separate weekends. We did not purchase either of the houses, but if we had, I would have been interested in using his services.

Working with Mark Halpert was a pleasure. He always did what he said he was going to do. He was very precise and creative with his design suggestions, He was on time, neat and a perfectionist at his trade. Cleaned up everything and kept the work area neat. I was more than pleased with the outcome. The shower is unique and beautiful!

Dave was prompt and professional in his demeanor, and he seemed to have a good idea of the work we needed to have done. He gave us estimates of each area of improvement we needed to have done--cabinets, appliances, granite, etc. Dave also contacted his cabinet man at Home Depot and asked him to provide us with a diagram and a specific cost estimate for cabinetry in our kitchen. He also told us which appliance stores he recommended and which granite yards he used. That was very helpful. We listed a B for price, because Dave's cabinet man came back with a cost figure that was somewhat higher than the estimate Dave had given us. Dave did say that these cabinets were often on sale (and therefore cheaper). Although we ended up going with another contractor for this project, we would feel comfortable using Dave's services on future projects.

Mark and his crew did a great job. This was my first remodel and it is a rental property. Mark had great suggestions and helped me update/upgrade to the best products within my budget. Work was done professionally and completed on time. I will use Halpert Construction for any furture remodel and have recommend him to my family and friends.

Mark and his team came and installed a new soaker tub and new subway tile surround. They completed the job quickly. Mark would should up as promised, but his team did not always show up on time in the morning. Overall I am happy with their work and would use them again for other projects.

It went fantastic, and couldnt have gone better.

Mark was extremely thoughtful, courteous and the results superb! He is a very honest, thoughtful and responsive person and so are his workers.

We never proceeded with the job.

Mark was by far my favorite after obtaining quotes from several other contractors. He had an idea and walked me through the process. He had many helpful suggestions. They demo'd the bathroom and expanded it. I now have a beautiful huge glass shower that I am very happy with. I love my new bathroom. The only issue that I had was with the glass door installer. They were not very communicative with me and I only got the response I wanted from them when Mark stepped in. He had them come back and rehang a door. I will absolutely use Mark again in the future whenever I can afford a new project!

We ultimately went with another contractor, but I'd consider using his services for future projects.

Halpert Construction did an excellent job on our remodel. We shopped Angie's List and Halpert came in about 1/2 of what others wanted to charge for the same work. Mark was available and spent a good amount of time discussing the remodel with us and came up with some ideas that we had not thought of. Overall excellent experience, I would not hesitate to use him again., The quote came in quick and clear, others took over a week and would not give us a line by line estimate, Halpert Construction did. Made sure we were happy with the work. Added value to our house and excellent space, we've received many compliments. A++

Mark Halpert was very responsive when initially contacted, was quick to meet with me to discuss the project, do the measurements, and worked with Home Depot (Gary Minx) to generate renderings of how the finished project would look. We modified our ideas and new renderings were generated until we got it just the way we wanted. The new cabinets were the main part of the kitchen redesign and Mark, along with Gary were dedicated to getting this right. Mark made himself available when the cabinets were delivered and we opened and inspected each one to be sure they arrived correctly and in perfect condition. All checked out well. As the project took shape, his advice and suggestions along the way proved invaluable. He paid good attention to detail and made sure everything fit and worked together. The results were outstanding and I would definitely look forward to having him on any future projects. He treated me like I was his only customer. Job well done.

He tends to be quite busy because he's great to work with...so this may mean that you don't get to work with him exactly when you'd like. But he always does what he says he's going to do, and he does it at a very reasonable fee. He is also exceptionally trust-worthy and friendly. I would rather have him work in my house than anyone else because I really trust him.

Mark Halpert came and made a bid on my project which I accepted on the spot. He set up a time to do my project and he was prompt and efficient and meticulous. I am very happy with the end result. I would call him again when I have my next tile project.

Mike came and assessed the problems that needed addressing and uncovered problems that were important to repair. He was timely and got right to one projects as we had a tight time table. He did a first rate job all in our budget. All his referrals for flooring etc. as great as he is. Mike listens to what you want done and makes it happen, He has great skill and resources. He calls if he is running behind and leaves everything clean. Mike is a great person, someone you can trust to do a fantastic job.

Mark was always on time, got the project done quickly and the projects both look fabulous. We are continuing to hire Mark for projects as funds become available. He is great to work with...very easy...he does great consulting work on what we should consider, and ultimately is very very very trustworthy in getting things done.
