We got quotes for some exterior repair and remodeling work. Not only did Carl have the best price, he actually included more work items. His crew got started right away and continued working until they were done. Speaking of which, both Sean and Jason were polite, professional, and willing to explain what was going on. They also dealt very well with problems that cropped up due to concealed conditions. And their work was very high quality. Fair pricing, quality workmanship, responsive company. Would not hesitate to use this firm again.
Description of Work: Repair damaged and missing exterior siding; install a new window in exterior wall.

AWFUL! I met with Carl to discuss the contractor, signed the contract and gave him a $5,000 deposit. About a week before he was to start the work, he decided that the siding wasn't included and wanted another $30,000 to do the complete job. I was shocked to say the least and when he never showed up to start on July 6th or responded to me, I knew he wasn't a man of his word and told him to either get the work done or refund the deposit. Yesterday in the mail I get back my plans and a check for just under $4,800. I called Carl to find out why the check isn't equal to the deposit I gave him and all I got was attitude. He sent me a permit that I can not use and told me "be glad I didn't charge you for my time". REALLY?!?!?! I would NEVER recommend Carl Alessi or his company to ANYONE! I will also let everyone who recommended him to me know the type of person he is. STAY AWAY!
Description of Work: Carl was supposed to build a screened in porch addition and replace the siding on my home as well as a few other smaller items. He reneged on his own contract by not starting and unilaterally removing items from the contract despite taking a $5,000 deposit.

Response from ALESI CUSTOM BUILDER & RENOVATORS, INC.
Mr, Thank you for allowing me to respond. Below is the complainants’ version, and I am interjecting my version directly into his statement by using numbers. Carl was supposed to build a screened in porch addition #1. This is true. I was to build a high-end screen porch with #1 cedar post and screen frames, solid 30” high masonry foundation with a concrete slab, covered over with tile and inlaid brick, detailed coiffured ceiling, a double sided propane fireplace (one side would face the screen porch and one side would face inside the living room) all topped off with a standing seam metal roof. and replace the siding on my home #2. Not true. I never mentioned this in any conversation or in the written estimate. (This would cost $30,000.00 - $35,000.00, as he has a good size house). as well as a few other smaller items. He reneged on his own contract #3. I do not think I reneged on my contract. I was not willing to give away a free siding job. by not starting and unilaterally removing items from the contract despite taking a $5,000 deposit. #4. I did receive a $5,000.00 deposit weeks in advance of the July 6th start date. I gave him the deposit back less the county permit cost (paid directly to Sussex County in the State of Delaware). I did not pocket one cent. Side Note: He wanted to give me a deposit of 50% ($33,000.00), as he said he did not trust himself with the money and would spend it. I would only take $5,000.00 and the balance upon starting. AWFUL! I met with Carl to discuss the contractor, signed the contract and gave him a $5,000 deposit. About a week before he was to start the work, #5. Brian texted me and said to give him an estimate on new gutters and downspouts, so they would match the new siding. I called him and said that siding was not included for the original part of the house (only the addition). he decided that the siding wasn't included and wanted another $30,000 to do the complete job. I was shocked to say the least and when he never showed up to start on July 6th #6. I did not show up on July 6th because Brian was to get back to me after I told him that I was not going to side his house for free. At that point, I was not sure if he was going to get other estimates or check his finances. or responded to me, I knew he wasn't a man of his word and told him to either get the work done or refund the deposit. #7. Not true. In my phone conversation in Item #5, I asked him if he wanted me to mail his deposit back. He said he would get back to me (same conversation in Item #5, #6, #7). Yesterday in the mail I get back my plans and a check for just under $4,800. I called Carl to find out why the check isn't equal to the deposit I gave him and all I got was attitude. He sent me a permit that I can not use and told me "be glad I didn't charge you for my time". #8. He can use the permit and has one year to do the work. The permit is in his name (actually his business name). I did say that he should be glad I did not charge for my time to obtain the permit (The $200.00 was for cost of the permit and copy work). REALLY?!?!?! I would NEVER recommend Carl Alessi or his company to ANYONE! I will also let everyone who recommended him to me know the type of person he is. STAY AWAY! In closing, I am truly thankful to God that Brian sent me a text asking for an estimate for new gutters and downspouts. (Otherwise, I would have started the job on July 6th and really would have been in a bad way). I am so thankful I did not get involved with this individual. I am surely blessed. Very truly yours, Carl Alesi Alesi Custom Builder & Renovators, Inc. 415 Rehoboth Avenue Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971 302-381-0294 (cell) 302-227-0367 (office) 302-436-2449 (fax)

He showed up promptly! He would drop everything at time to make certain he could go to closing on time. He was pleasant and professional. His team of employees did a great job at completing the jobs and ensuring they were done right. They also cleaned up after themselves. He made certain everything was done right. He would always call and check and see how thing were going after a repair, obtained feedback from us as to the quality and professionalism of his team. It is great to know that there are good contractors out there that you can count on.
Description of Work: We purchased on older home. The question is what didn't he do. He fixed a basement that was flooding every time it rained. He fixed leaks in the gable, roof and exhaust fan, he replaced the window wraps, installed a railing to the basement. He mortared the joint in the concrete block foundation.

Carl was great to work with. He came in fast for an estimate, stuck to the estimate, and did a great job. He even did some finish work we didn't ask him to do, like frame and drywall around a long heating vent - and didn't charge anything additional for it. We had some issues with our electrical contractor and some city permits and Carl worked with everyone to make it go as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend using Alesi Construction.
Description of Work: Renovated a small sandwich shop. Installed new hardwood flooring, built 3 new walls, Painted new and existing walls and ceiling, did finish work and trim and built a counter

We have used him about four times now to do major renovations for our home. He is an outstanding builder. He is very creative and does beautiful work. The work is done beautiful the first time. He is punctual and his price is right on target, there is never any add-ons in his work. We are about to use him again for some more work.
Description of Work: He is a builder and he does renovations.
