Something Constructive

Phenomenally! Efficient, Timely, Thorough...what more could you ask for!!!

Patsy did a good job, on time and on budget.

Patsy came and made emergency repairs to our garage ceiling. He was quick, professional and very courteous. We highly recommend him for any jobs around your home.

Good start, so-so finish. Plans completed by contractor and permit secured. Workers and owner were on time daily and completed the demo, poured foundations, erected supports, placed decking, and installed new roof and shingles. Finish crew came in and workmanship was shoddy. Aluminum trim was not cut correctly, one screen had a tear, gutter and downspout placed incorrectly, and vinyl siding was replaced with odd looking boards. Owner did note that finish work was not up to his usual standards and gave a small rebate. Property owner requested that no work be done on ceiling, that he would complete that work at a later date.

Mr. Patsy Cicala was a pleasure to work with. The job was done in a timely manner. The guys cleaned up every day, left the site very neat. The job was not easy and had some tricky details, to line it up with the existing house features and to install a pair of precast columns. Hew got in a sub contractor to do the roof and this contractor did a good job inexpensively and fast. The price was lower than another quote I had gotten and was satisfactory for us. I would recommend him to friends and ask his help with future projects. Thanks, Patsy!

The project went exceedingly well. Something Constructive used excellent subcontractors, and was able to do a great job bringing the project to completion. You can feel free to have Something Constructive give you my phone # for a personal recommendation and discussion.

Patsy has always responded quickly to our requests and come to our house very soon to discuss the projects. He is very knowledgable, explains everything carefully, and really listens to what we want. His estimates are extremely fair and the final price never varied from his estimates. He is a pleasure to work with, and we are relieved to know that we will always have him to turn to!

Patsy (and his helper Gary) were professional, thorough, knowledgeable and informative, cordial, cooperative, and thoughtful. They instilled a sense of confidence in me that my job was important to them and would be done with care and craftsmanship. It was. Patsy worked with my schedule and kept in close contact with me. He showed up when he said he would, and he and Gary worked diligently with no unnecessary breaks. I have looked for years for a craftsman upon whom I could depend for a variety of small jobs. I have found him in Patsy. I will definitely be calling him in the future!

EXCELLENT!!!!! Just registered on Angie's list last night. Although I had heard of it, I had never checked it out. So happy that I did! Something Constructive (Patsy Cicala) was the first listing to catch my eye and the reason I contacted him is because of his award and ratings. It was around 8am today and I asked if he could do the job same day, before 3pm (without charging me extra). He just happened to be available and was there around 11am. The job went smooth, quick and I learned a bit about door knob/lock replacement. :) Afterward, I showed him several things that I want to do over the next year, of which, he can do all. He's very knowledgeable, personable and demonstrated rapid response/dependability/expertise. I look forward to working with Patsy in the future. Very happy that we connected through this service. He also recommended a Partner to do landscaping work, come Spring. Yay! Side note: When I picked up the hardware from Lowes this morning, they recommended that I contact [*** Link removed ***] which I did. I've rec'd several texts/emails saying that "due to high demand" it's taking longer than usual to find a contractor". I have yet to receive a lead (12 hours later). My recommendation: Call Something Constructive!!!!

Contractor moved supplies and equipment and began the day after the building permit was approved. While the original estimate to complete the work was approximately 3 weeks, the porch was completed in less than 10 days.

Once again Patsy was extremely responsive and terrific to communicate with. He found another vent that needed caulking that we didn't even know existed. He's a joy to work with!

We found Patsy here on Angie's List and called him because of his A rating and because of all the complimentary reviews he received. He came over to meet us and look at the work we wanted done and we were impressed when we learned about his lengthy background in the construction business and the many different types of projects he had completed. We wanted him to construct, install and stain a wood bead board ceiling in a portico in front of our house that another contractor had left unfinished. He did a fantastic job at a reasonable price and we were extremely impressed with his perfectionist attention to detail and his expertise. Unlike other contractors we have worked with, he came when he said he would and finished on time, and checked in with us on specific details of the work and billed us as agreed upon. He is also a delightful and kind person as well! it has been a pleasure to work with him, and we highly recommend his work! We will definitely have him do more work for us in the future.

Communications with Patsy were incredibly smooth, and he was very responsive. He met us on time and gave us options. The work was performed on schedule and quickly. We were out of town at the time, but Patsy and the carpenter, Karen Patton, were very easy to communicate with while we were away. We can't say enough good things about Something Constructive!

Very, very well. Patsy spent at least a day and a half in the TINY crawl space under our house, working with outdated plumbing and wiring which in our view, would make anyone cantankerous, but not him. He was always easy to work with. His work itself is excellent and his communication and response rate the same. We were away while work was done so almost every day we received pictures, texts or vms of the progress he'd made. He knows a lot of contractors in the area and gave us a good referral for our roof leak. All in all, you can't do better than Patsy Cicala, Jr.

Patsy and his team, particularly the awesome Karen, are always good and the work is excellent. If you need a very accomplished handyman in Sussex County DE, contract these guys. I wouldn't call anyone else.

He is great! He did great work, even figuring out how to transport over the remote capability for the outdoor ceiling fan from the old fan, and was very efficient and cordial. He was very careful also about being neat. In setting up the appointment, he was extremely responsive, punctual and prepared. He charged a reasonable amount. I would definitely retain the company again.

Love the new railing, we decided to use pressure treated and paint the railing in a few months.

Patsy knew exactly what to do, including, without my asking, placing extra supports to keep the ornament from rattling against the house or coming loose in the wind. He did a beautiful job and is a joy to work with.

Patsy and Gary are great to work with- though very busy, they were extremely communicative making arrangements to get me scheduled and fit into their work load....very happy.

Patsy was great- came by to take a look at the job, said he had the time to do it right then and there, and got it done for me- got lucky, since I had all the materials needed already, so it was a quick and well-done job. Didn't expect that, but got it crossed off the list and found a new go-to guy! Very happy.

Excellent workmanship, prompt and reasonably priced.

When we used Angie’s List to find Something Constructive, we hoped for the best – what we got was awesome! Hands down, Patsy Cicala is the best for any job around the house. Last year, he replaced the doors on our backyard 8’ x 10’ shed, including the decorative pieces, matched the weathered paint and added new hardware. It looked great. Then he tightened up the decking on the patio, and planed and adjusted four interior doors. That was a bargain that cost about $800. In June of this year (2016), Patsy worked on preparing the house for sale, getting it in “move in” condition beforehand. That cost about $250. He fixed the outdoor shower that hadn’t been properly installed originally (this was complicated and not easy to remedy), made the stair-rail on the stairs tight and steady (had a trick he showed me that made it seem easy), adjusted other doors, repaired some electrical issues, did some other work and checked the house overall. In addition to doing good work, he wouldn’t stop working on an item until it was just right - not just it will get by. Further, he knew our time-frame, and really put himself out to fix all of our problems quickly. The house just sold and the home inspector only found a few minor issues that no one else would notice. Would we call Patsy again? I have a call into him now for a change I want in the new house – I hope he will be available soon.

Patsy and his colleagues are very professional and knowledgeable. The patio was power washed and resealed in a matter of days. It looks great and is definitely water resistant now. As usual, I was happy with the results and with their responsiveness.

I called Patsy in the afternoon and he responded that evening. Within a few days, he replaced and repaired the hose bibs and completed the deck work. He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I was very happy with his responsiveness and ability to resolve my requests quickly.

Great even with major delays due to rainy sprig.Dame back to fix little things.Subbed roofing but good workers.
