Something Constructive

Everything ran in a professional manner Both buildings were completed in a timely manner Changes to the plans were addressed with ease Communication was good Finished product looks great

Mr. Patsy and his crew are great to work with easy going and extremely reliable. I know when he does a job for the City he takes pride in that job. It is great having him when we need maintenance things done.

I hired Something Constructive to build a 12' by 16' second story 3 season room with a storage shed below. The owner of the company, Patsy Ciccalla, met with us and asked us how we wanted the room to look. He then designed the room to those specifications. Patsy was there each day, working with and supervising his team. It was a complex and multi-faceted project that required coordinating other contractors (masons, electricians, gutter installers, etc.) and ordering and scheduling the arrival of materials in a timely manner. His whole team (Jacob, Ernesto, and Jesus) was very accommodating and easy to work with. When we asked for a change in the plan, it was not a problem. They stressed to us that they wanted us to be happy with the final product and encouraged us to tell them what we wanted or if we wanted something done differently. They worked on our project every day until it was completed; they did not, as other contractors do, go off and work on another project for a few days and then come back to your project. The 3-season room turned out beautifully with a vaulted white pickled pine ceiling, 10 double hung windows and laminate flooring. The shed below with access to the basement was designed to house a riding mower and serve as a tool shed with peg board walls. We have received many complimentary comments on how nice the addition looks and how well it blends with the rest of the house. We are very glad that we had the addition done and would recommend Something Constructive to anyone thinking of building on to or needing work done on their home. Thanks to Patsy and his team, we now have a lovely addition that has added comfort and value to our home.

I asked Patsy to install 5 Billy bookcases from IKEA into a room to house my book collection. I wanted them to look as though they were built-in. I wanted lighting with dimmers installed above each bookcase and and crown molding installed in the room that would continue across the front of the bookcases. Patsy met me at Home Depot and helped me select the lighting and switchplate options that were needed. When I complained about the way the LED lights were making a humming noise, Patsy went back to Home Depot and found a dimmer that did not hum. I wanted the bookcases to stretch from ceiling to floor. The bookcases I ordered were not tall enough and I could not wait for the extension pieces from IKEA, so Patsy custom-fitted the bookcases and added and extra shelf for me. I wanted the light switch for the bookcase lights to be added to the switchplate on the opposite side of the room, so, Ernesto, one of his workers, went into the attic crawl space and fished the electric across the attic and down to the switchplate on the opposite side of the room. I also wanted the electrical outlet on the bookcase wall to be extended out to the front baseboard of the bookcase. I wanted trim added between each bookcase and the base of the bookcase to blend in seamlessly with the baseboard. I was very picky about having this done exactly the way I wanted, as I have waited forty years for it. I was very pleased with the way the bookcases turned out. The bookcases look like they were made when the house was built. Patsy and his co-workers, Jacob and Ernesto, were courteous, prompt and very hard-working. They finished the job in two and a half days. They completely cleaned the work area before they left each day. The painting that was needed was done very neatly with no drips. They went out of their way to make sure that it was built to my specifications. I would heartily recommend them. They provided good value for my money and exceeded my expectations.

Patsy and his team are great. Great work on everything from screening in a porch to installing a new kitchen and dining room floor. Also storm door installation. Always punctual, fair pricing and a team that's friendly, professional and great to work with.

A+++ Patsy Cicala went above and beyond. We had approximately 1000 sq. ft flooring installed in our beach home and not only did I receive a phone call back the same day when looking for contractors, Patsy and his crew installed the floor way ahead of schedule. Very prompt in returning phone calls/emails, great communication, installation looks great and professional! I would definitely recommend "Something Constructive" without hesitation. No need to look further - you will not be disappointed! We definitely will use them for all our future projects. Frank & Margherita Primehook

Patsy Cicala has so much knowledge and experience and was able to dismantle the mess made by the plumbers and correctly configure and install the filter system. It is working perfectly now and we are enjoying pure filtered water. Mr. Cicala really saved the day! In addition to being experienced and competent, he is reliable, respectful and pleasant to work with. I definitely recommend him and will contact him again for any projects or services needed in the future.

There is not enough good things to say about Patsy and the guys at Something Constructive. I needed lighting fixtures to be changed, all fixtures in the bathroom redone, mirrors mounted, and quite literally the kitchen sink replaced. These guys did it ALL. No task was too big or too small for Patsy and his team. These guys are my exclusive go to guys in the Rehoboth beach area! 100% recommend

Great customer service, professional work, fair price, and dependable. Hard to find in Sussex County, DE.

The contractor was great to work with, provided excellent quality of workmanship at a reasonable price and finished in a timely manner. I would and have recommended him to friends for construction services. It was a pleasure working with him on this project!

Patsy and his guys are simply one of the best folks I have ever done business with. There is nobody else I would want to work on our house.

Patsy is very professional and candid with what can and needs to be done to address issues under contract. I found him to be congenial and his team is well suited for the work I had to address. Some the of work could not be assessed for accuracy until after the job began. Patsy followed through and priced the work at a reasonable rate and followed through to ensure his team performed per the contract. I would hire him again when the need for his services occur and am comfortable recommending Patsy to others in heed of an honest contractor. dcg

The workers were polite. They cleaned up ever day. The shower looks great. They did a great job. I would recommend Something Constructive.

The workers were flexible as the design changed as the construction progressed and the work was completed on schedule to our expectations. We would recommend Patsy for your building project ( large or small) now that he is back from a serious leg injury and can better control the quality and sub-contractors. You may call us for additional details regarding our positive recommendation on this contractor, Patsy Cicala.

It went great. Not the first time I’ve called Something Constructive. Every time communication is good, prices are very reasonable and the work done is perfect. I highly recommend Something Constructive and I will be calling them again

Excellent - very impressive with the timeliness - and one of the scarce situations where Patsy's staff actually cleaned up meticulously after they performed the works.

Everything was perfect. Showed up on time. Very fair price and made suggestions selecting correct molding.

Excellent got a new roof the whole insides painted and replumbed all new baths and all new kichent the quality was awsome everything whent well

Patsy coordinated the finishing of a large portion of our basement including a full bath. He worked with us on the design, obtained materials, performed some of the work himself (with assistants) and retained subcontractors as necessary to get the job done. The quality of the work is great and we are extremely happy with the finished product. Working with Patsy is a pleasure - he pays attention to every detail and assured the quality is up to his, and our, high standards.

I had a very small task - installing a new microwave over the stove. Many people would not call me back - sone stood me up. Rich was super responsive, scheduled an appointment, arrived on time and completed the task quickly. I am very appreciative. I plan to use Something Constructive on my next big projects redoing the bathrooms!

First off refreshing to find contractor who was highly responsive ... promptly received and returned calls, always on time with work and estimates, ongoing 2-way discussion of work details and progress. Excellect attention to detail, craftsmanship, design, and quality of materials. Kept area clean and provided advanced adhered to work schedules and payment process. Very professional in every way and extremely satisfied with end result. Very competitive pricing. Would definitely hire again for additional projects.

As usual, it went very well. Patsy is our first call when we need help.
