LEVINE CONTRACTING

I haven't hired Josh yet because I unexpectedly ended up with a few December bills I need to attend to first but I wanted to leave a review and say I had a long conversation with Josh about the work that needed to be done & he was above and beyond professional, personable, and patient. He explained important details to me, was willing to make time in his busy schedule to come and check out the problem asap, texted me and called to follow up even though I was slow to respond. In the past I have come across contractors who seem desperate to get hired, ppl that'll say anything to get the job and who lack 'bedside manner' or working knowledge about the job. This was not Josh at all. When the time comes, I will absolutely hire his company.

In my opinion the renovation went as well as can be expected. Of coarse there is a degree of stress when you completely tear your kitchen apart, but overall things went well. I am a single woman and had a great deal of anxiety about dealing with contractors. Josh was approachable and easy to communicate with. He listened to me instead of talking over me which I experienced with a few other guys I met with. I would definitely use him again.

He left a very good impression. We had an insurance issue for storm damage repair. He was definitely a positive experience, although we didn't use him. It was a fair estimate and he recommended a couple of different options like replacing windows versus repairing them. He had some creative approaches. He was punctual and he got right back to us with the estimate. He was a pleasant person to deal with. I do remember him being kind of rushed and in a hurry. I would call him back.

Joshua Levine has been excellent to work with. He was very prompt and responsiveness to our original inquiry and gave us written estimates within a timely manner. His prices were very fair and his work product seems like it is excellent. We are in the middle of a major remodeling and would have used Josh for all of our needs if his schedule had worked with our needs better. He is extremely honest regarding his timeline, and we really appreciated that. He is a general contractor and has a number of skilled subs that work with him. The plumber he recommended, Joe Foley, was excellent to work with as well. He handled our heating system conversion and did a fantastic job. The system was installed, he found us a substantial rebate, and made recommendations on how to improve the system throughout the process. He was able to get in and do the entire removal/replacement within a short time frame in order to beat the freezing temperatures we've experienced recently. As for the windows, work is set to begin on installation but measurements were smooth and the windows were ordered and delivered quickly. He has been very accommodating as we have other projects underway.

Josh and team finished off my third floor office by adding stairway railings, installing baseboards and window frames, shelving and doors to storage spaces. Josh listened to my goals and was able suggest ways to accomplish them in an aesthetically pleasing and budget aware way. Josh showed great attention to detail as he skillfully performed the job. Some of the work was done offsite, like the building of the four pairs of custom knee wall doors which minimized the noise and dust. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and value that was provided. The end result is a great looking fully finished living space, perhaps too good judging by the number of times my daughter has tried to evict me and take over the space as her bedroom.

Levine Contracting did well. We liked them. I thought the pricing was reasonable. The work was quick, they got the job a=done and it was a great experience overall.

We provided Josh with a detailed drawing of what the finished basement should look like. Over 6 weeks he completely redid our basement making it a multi-functional space that looks like a true part of the house and not a typical basement. He worked very closely with us to pick the right type of materials for how we planned to use the space and was very knowledgeable and professional with his recommendations. His team did an excellent job coordinating the different steps with the work from framing to electrical to painting. We are very pleased with the outcome!

What a pleasure Josh was to work with. His crew (yes, you Vinnie) was also really great. He was very responsive, eager to do the work, listened to feedback, was patient when we made changes multiple times mid-way through the project. He was excellent with follow-up (i.e. he had to come back a few times to touch up some paint work, install some shelving etc.). I had him doing some fairly unusual construction projects, and he rose to the occasion every time. He was always accessible (actually answered his phone!), was a hard worker through the entire project. Was patient, had a great sense of humor and was really easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him, and look forward to using him again!

Josh was the only contractor of the three I had look at the house to suggest a repair of the rear porch instead of a complete rebuild. This worked out very well as I feel it was a good compromise between budget and longevity of the structure. The project was a bit slow in getting started and I had to keep following up with him to figure out the final schedule. Since I had worked with Josh before, I wasn't too concerned. Once his team got started, the project moved quickly. The rear porch was stripped of rotted wood and extra framing not specified in the contract was negotiated. The front porch needed a few changes and they were added to the contract. Josh did a good job to make sure at least one entrance was always available to the residents and setup a temporary railing and ramp. All the workmanship was very nice, and porches look just like I imagined. I've gotten compliments from the neighbors on the porches. My only request for Josh on the next project would be to put down some tarps to catch small construction debris. Overall I was very satisfied with the result and I would use him again.

Josh was great at communicating about the job and what was required. He gave me a lot of different choices for shingles and didn't try to sell me on vinyl or any other product I wasn't interested in. The job was completed in about a week and it looks great. He checked with the city and pulled permits as he was required to do. The overhang at the front was an add-on at the end, but I was able to inspect the problem and the price seemed reasonable. Overall I was very happy with the work and plan to have him take a look at another job in the spring.

Very amazing experience! Josh and Vince did a super job on the gate, which they made from scratch! Josh also promptly followed up with something that needed to be repaired right after the installation. I can't wait for another project. I will be using them again!

Very well. Josh was very friendly, honest and reliable. He came round to discuss the work in detail beforehand and was very flexible and open to different ideas. The main work was completed over a 2 week period as planned, and Josh came back for several follow-up visits to finish final details the following week. He always responded quickly to our requests, questions and ideas. One thing we liked is Josh's flexibility with the quotation - eg, we needed to stay within a budget and in order to do that we proposed a compromise whereby we painted the finished carpentry ourselves. He gave us solid advice based on his experience eg, that the old lino tiles really needed to be replaced and a new sub-floor laid for stability, but suggested other ways we could save money without compromising quality. Josh put alot of planning into the design of the booth all from a magazine photo. We really enjoyed working with Josh and definitely plan more future projects with him.

Josh Levine, partner Henry and the rest of the crew couldn't have been more timely, fast, friendly, pleasant and responsive. I've hardly ever seen this level of customer service, let alone with a home contractor. Josh scheduled meetings often to meet with me and get my feedback, always on time and always at a time convenient to me. Though I picked most stuff, Josh also brought me some samples a few items which saved me time and aggravation. He estimated that the project would take 4 to 6 weeks and it took 5. We came in on budget, despite a few upgrades and unexpected problems. His crew cleaned up after themselves very well and were responsive to all my requests. In fact, my husband was layed up with a broken foot during the entire renovation and they were super friendly, even bringing him lunch several days a week. We'll actually miss these guys! Knowing I can call on Josh makes future home projects seem much less daunting.
