Eloi Construction

Description of Work: Tarso and his helper ripped up the old linoleum flooring in a bathroom of our 1890's 2 family. It had been leaking around the tub and curling at the edges. He replaced the subfloor that needed replacing, leveled it, and put down new one piece vinyl.

Description of Work: Tarso Oelke at Eloi Construction has done many jobs at my house over the last few years from simple jobs such as cleaning and oiling gutters to a complicated bathroom remodel, indoor painting, outdoor painting, fence repair, misc carpentry repairs, rebuilding a cedar bulkhead doorway, etc. His work has been excellent, done in a timely manner. He is honest and reliable and his prices are fair. He takes care to do the job right and stands by his work. He also has good subcontractors that he can call on for other work such as roofers and plumbers.

Description of Work: Replaced the basement ceiling, installed a dual switch, installed lighting.

Description of Work: 1) More or less dismantled the lower of two front porches, poured a concrete footing and rebuilt or replaced the stairs, railings, balusters, posts and lattice, as well as the very old joists and beams that supported the porch. Except for the floor boards themselves, the visible portions were replaced with vinyl and Azek at my request because this area is damp, always in the shade and required frequent maintenance. The quality of the work was superb and the whole job looks wonderful. 2) Poured three concrete footings in the basement and replaced the jacks and cedar posts with lally columns. Not only was the work well done but they cleaned up the entire floor area as it had never been cleaned before. 3) The mortar of one interior fifteen foot section of the old fieldstone cellar wall had crumbled out so badly in places that light could be seen through at night. They completely cleaned out the old mortar and re-mortared the wall inside and out (crawling under the porch). Great job. 4) Same problem on one exterior corner of the foundation so that water was entering the basement when it rained. Cleared out old mortar and redid it. Excellent job and they cleaned out the house-length 25 foot high gutter as a courtesy. 5) Repaired and re-mortared the fieldstone walls to the bulkhead leading down into the cellar, built new stairs and replaced the old wooden hatch with a new steel one. 6) Remove and replaced a door frame and door to an old one room addition on the side of the house. This was very tricky because the addition had sagged on its insufficient footing, the door had been framed and installed non-standard by an amateur and the whole house and addition had been sided in vinyl with aluminum doorframe coverings. No angles were right, no sizes were standard and the old siding had to come out looking right. Tarso got the new door and frame to match up just right and redid all the exterior vinyl and aluminum framing to match perfectly. They then rebuilt the sad wooden entry landing and stairs to match the front porch. Again, beautifully done. .
