Description of Work: Called twice to setup an appointment to come out to give me a quote. The first time he said he had car problems but never called me to let me know. The second time was a no show without a phone call and I had someone waiting for him.

Description of Work: They were great at first, very friendly, but then did not return my calls after a quote was made. I even contacted them for an additional quote, but no answer. I left Howard, my primary contact, about 3 phone messages and an equal number of emails with no response. I realize all these guys are swamped with the bad Winter and crazy weather this Spring and Summer, but no response of any kind is just rude and bad business.

N/A
Description of Work: Contractor stopped by my house for estimate on replacement of some windows and trim (about a $4000 project). Was prompt and professional. Promised an e-mailed estimate within a week. I did not receive one. Called and left two messages with the office. Calls were not returned. I never received an estimate. I guess my project was too small for this contractor. Very disappointing per the other good reviews and my desire to support local businesses in the neighborhood. I eventually moved on to another provider; but this delayed that search by a few weeks.

Great!
Description of Work: Howard was great! he came out because I needed to get an estimate of cost for an addition and repairs prior to making an offer on a home. He was very helpful and was able to give me a rough estimate quickly. Turns out I didn't buy the house but I plan to call Redstone if need be when I do make a purchase.

He didn't do anything.
Description of Work: Called Howard to set appointment for him to inspect water damage near the windows of my balcony. Howard arrived on time, inspected the damage, and said he would be back in two days to provide an estimate. He never showed up. I called him a week later, at which point he came to my home the following day. He said he would be back in a few days to begin the work. I never heard from him again. After reading previous reviews about this company, Howard's lack of follow up and professionalism seems to be a recurring theme.

Great. See above.
Description of Work: I left a message at Redstone. Howard returned my call quickly thereafter. He came out to give an estimate and ended up giving me some great advice. I did not end up having to replace my windows, but instead found that the seals had broken and I simply needed to have the glass replaced. I appreciated his visit, follow-up call and honesty!

Very well. Worked with Howard and his guys before and they are excellent at being on time and doing what was promised & being considerate and helpful to residents and your home. Don't disappear for days. Work was top notch again and on time. They were good at rolling with surprises and working out least expensive solutions where possible.
Description of Work: Renovated a master bath and reconfigured an adjoining walk in closet in an older 30's era house. Required substantial demolition, construction and electrical and plumbing, as well as tile and marble work.

I left a message for Howard and he called a few days later. I set up a time for him to come and meet with my husband and I. I met him on the street and introduced myself and started to show him some of the work before my husband got there. He seemed a little disinterested. Then when my husband got there his attitude changed slightly. Then he took measurements and stayed for about 45 minutes to take mesaurements. He never sent a quote and never called to follow-up, so I am assuming that he didn't want the job.

Amazing. Howard is extremely professional, responsible, and considerate. We managed to live in our home while the renovation was being done and everything was done with the least bit of discomfort for us. Everything was finished according to schedule with the exception of some extra add-ons we had requested. We will not hesitate to use Redstone for future projects.
Description of Work: They fully renovated our 1915 brick two flat reconfiguring it as a single family. They put in a new roof, skylight, did tuck pointing, wiring, HVAC, refinished floors, and gut renovation of two bathrooms. They also put in a new water main and plumbing.

We are very happy with Redstone's work. They got to work quickly after we signed the contract, and showed up every day, making noticeable progress, until the work was done. Howard was very flexible about scheduling, and was prompt when we needed to meet with him to discuss something on site. Their bid was on par with others we received. Their crew was considerate and professional. They responded to concerns and corrected things as requested. He was also proactive about making suggestions but we didn't feel he was trying to pad the job, e.g., he noticed a storm window that was deteriorating and suggested replacing it.
Description of Work: Rebuilt chimney, replaced some windows, re-faced deck, replaced concrete stoop, replaced siding, re-painted foundation.

Howard and his crew were professional, on-time and on-budget. We have dealt with many contractors over the years. Howard and his crew were at the top of those I would use again. I would recommend Redstone without question.
Description of Work: I had Redstone tear off three layers of shingles (including cedar shingles), replace with new shingles. We bid the job out to four companies and chose Redstone based on price and feedback from references.

HAD HOWARD OUT FOR A BID AFTER THREE WEEKS OF ATTEMPTING TO FIND A TIME. WORKED UP A BID FOR THE JOB ON THE SPOT AND WAS REASONABLY FLEXIBLE WITH HIS COSTS. HE SEEMED VERY CAPABLE OF PERFORMING THE WORK AS REQUESTED, HOWEVER WE WENT WITH A CONTRACTOR WE KNEW A LITTLE BETTER. WOULD CERTAINLY CALL HOWARD ABOUT OTHER WORK.

GAVE US GOOD DIRECTION ON WHERE TO PICK THINGS OUT AND WAS VERY FLEXIBLE ABOUT TIMING OF FINISHING THE PROJECTS BECAUSE OF ITEMS WE NEEDED TO PICK OUT. HOWARD WAS ON TIME FOR OUR INITIAL MEETING AND TOOK GREAT NOTES. HE DELIVERED THE BID (PRACTICALLY UNHEARD OF TO EVEN GET THEM TO SHOW UP BUT TO PUT IT IN WRITING; WOW!) AND WALKED ME THROUGH IT. HE WENT ON VACATION BUT WE TALKED ABOUT 3 TIMES WHILE HE WAS AWAY. WHEN THE JOB STARTED HE WAS HERE AND THE 2 GUYS THAT DID THE WORK FOR US WERE GREAT; HERE EARLY, NO SMOKING, VERY POLITE, NO MESS LEFT BEHIND AND EVEN DID SOME EXTRA THINGS FOR ME LIKE SECURING TOWEL RACKS, ETC. THE WORK LOOKS GREAT AND WAS FINISHED ON TIME. WE ARE HAVING HIM BID OUR KITCHEN RIGHT NOW AND PLAN ON USING HIM BECAUSE HE IS THOROUGH AND RELIABLE BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE WORK LOOKS GREAT! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANY PROJECT.

HOWARD AND HIS CREW ARE ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. THEY ARE CONSISTENTLY ON TIME, FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. THIS TIME THEY LITERALLY WORKED AROUND ME AND OUR INFANT DAUGHTER. HOWARD'S BID FOR OUR MOST RECENT PROJECT WAS VERY COMPETITIVE BEATING OUT TWO OTHER BIDS. WE FIND THEIR WORK TO BE EXCELLENT. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR NEW BATHROOM! WE ALSO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT HOWARD WAS ON SITE EVERY DAY CHECKING IN WITH ME AND HIS CREW ON THE DAY'S PROGRESS AND WALKING ME THROUGH NEXT STEPS, ETC. WE WILL USE THEM AGAIN WHEN THE NEED ARISES.
Description of Work: WE HAVE DONE MUTIPLE PROJECTS WITH REDSTONE. MOST RECENTLY THEY ENCLOSED A LOFT SPACE IN OUR HOME AND GUTTED AND REMODELED A MASTER BATHROOM.
