Buyer Beware! The house hadn't had an exterior dryvit/stucco inspection in some time, so we called Peter Pawlek based on the very positive reviews here. He came over on a weekend, which was a big plus, and did a very quick walk around. Most of the dryvit was fine, however there were some areas that required exterior painting and caulking. He quoted a lead time of "a couple of weeks" A full month later after much prodding, his worker showed up (2 hours late) and largely unprepared to work. Stayed for only a few hours, and then said "I'll come back tomorrow". The next day he never showed, and no phone call. After another call, the worker showed back up for another 3 hour day of work 2 days later. The painting was fine, but the worker left behind a mess. Total bill for 6 hours of work? $3000! Most high priced attorneys don't charge $500 an hour, let alone simple painting and caulking. When confronted with the price, Peter was rigid. In fact, insulting. A quote: "I only took this small unworthy by nobody job, as you know to help you, It's a very busy season for me." Needless to say, I was very unhappy that this vendor was so dismissive of my job, while not having an issue with his exorbitant fees. I should have known - when he showed up for the inspection he was driving a new Audi A5 ($50K car) - should've expected to get gouged! Steer Clear!

Peter Pawlak (owner) came out to my home, at MY convenience, to give me a quote. His price was very competitive, but more importantly, his reputation for craftsmanship is excellent. The job was pretty comprehensive - tearing off old "stuccato" boards and old cross boards on an English Tudor. Then applying new ply-wood, new Tyvek, meshing, scratch-coat, base-coat, primer, and custom colored finish texture. Peter was on site daily. His crew did a fabulous job. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Aspire Construction, Inc. !!!

After a slow start things progressed well. A one week job ended up taking three weeks due to scheduling conflicts according to Peter. Overall I am happy with the work.

I have a small crack in my hybrid stucco. I was nervous about it so I called Aspire. Peter came out that same day and rather than making up some work for himself, he said not to worry about it, "don't waste time or money." I thought that was so honorable of him. I really appreciated that honesty. I would definitely have him back out to do work because I really trust him.

Peter called within 10 minutes of initial online request , I found him online and chose him after reading the reviews and looking at this website. He came to do an estimate within 2 days, due to my schedule and work was performed within 2 weeks. He's crew is very professional and Peter was always checking up to make sure work is going the way it should. Everything was cleaned up after the work, my garden was not damaged, his crew really cared and were very professional.

Aspire did a fantastic job, from the moment I contacted the owner, Peter, to the last walk around, they were professional and thorough in all ways. The quote was clear and precise. They started on time, were completely prepared to work from day one, used high quality materials, kept the work area safe and clean, worked every day that they could when there wasn't rain, even in extreme cold, finished the job on time, did a masterful job, put all fixtures back in place, and left the work area cleaner than when they started. The house looks great. Neighbors commented on how well the crew worked and how beautiful the house is.

Our 2 story stucco house is approximately 90 years old and we have owned it for 25 years. We added an addition 17 years ago and redid our roof about 5 years ago, but otherwise, we had not touched the exterior. The stucco was beginning to show wear and tear. Peter Pawlak of Aspire was very prompt with responding to our request for an estimate. He suggested that if we were considering window replacement (our windows were original to the house), that we do that before he started his work so that nothing would need to be redone. We did that. When we set on a date for the stucco work to start, his crew were very efficient, prompt, professional, and tidy. Work was completed in less than 2 weeks, and if not for some bad weather, would probably have been completed even sooner. Peter kept a close watch on the project with daily visits and otherwise kept in touch via email about status. We are very satisfied and have received numerous compliments from our neighbors on the house's new look.

The workers from Aspire Construction Inc. Company did exactly what I wanted them to do. They were precise. I was satisfied with their work. I would use them again in the future.

These guys are friendly and well priced. They know what they're doing and I have absolutely no complaints so far.
