The team at Royal Contracting is excellent! We’ve used them for a few projects, most recently a kitchen renovation, and we are very happy with the outcome. They worked magic in our unconventional space and now we have an infinitely better kitchen, which was right on budget, and on time. Very grateful to Dermot and his team!

I have worked with Royal Contracting for many years. Dermot and his team did an amazing job on our expansive new IPE deck and pergola. Quality and workmanship were top notch including the intricate cable rail system. The project came in at the advertised cost and Dermot kept us appraised the whole time of any snags or issues. I would highly recommend Royal Contracting for ANY home improvement needs. You won’t be disappointed!!!

Dermot McElligott and his carpenter, Fabio, replaced our fir rear deck with Azek. The work was performed efficiently and masterfully. Fabio was meticulous and ensured everything was perfectly done. He also replaced some cedar boards on our front porch and restrained them. This was our first experience with Royal Contracting and they exceeded expectations. Excellent and professional work. I hope to use them in the near future for remodeling work in our kitchen this winter.

It went well overall. Dermot said what he was going to do, and then he did the work. He was fast, efficient, and the result looks great. The price I paid matched the final price. He does things the right way too, meaning he doesn't cut corners and follows codes etc. I will use him again. You can't ask for more in a contractor than to be fair, honest, and get things done.

We had an unfinished space with walkup stairs above our 2-car garage that we wanted to finish. I had a general idea of what I wanted done, and provided. He provided a detailed line item quote, and I was waiting on another quote from someone else (never received). It appeared high at $18,500...but I didn't really have anything to base that on. I am "El Cheapo," and eventually decided to GC it myself. I used my brother-in-law for carpentry (knee walls, box out chimney, floor, window, and door trim), flooring, and a DIY mini-split installation. All of these things I could NOT have done on my own - I needed his expertise. I hired a roofer for the lone skylight install. I bid out the plastering, gyp and painting. I hired the electrician. The space came out great, and I was involved so there's that satisfaction. But I'm sure the schedule dragged out, and I think I ultimately tallied the costs at around $15k on my own. All this is to say is that at the end of the day, his quote turned out to be quite competitive, and had I gone with him I would have saved myself the headaches of finding the subs and potentially could gotten the project done sooner. I did not go with him, but figured the least I could do is give him credit on his punctuality seeing and submitting competitive pricing on the project. Next project that comes up I'll think of using him.
