NLT did our major renovation of our first floor and were fantastic in everything they did for us. Dave Cedrone was our point person and handled everything very professionally. His crew did all of the construction work (removing walls, putting in new walls, drywall, hanging doors, installing hardware). Dave put us in touch with tradespeople who did the things his crew does not (plumbing, electric, cabinetry, painting). The end result is simply amazing. The first floor of our home did not work for our family originally. We needed an open concept living space and we wanted to create a guest suite on the main living floor for our family members that occasionally stay with us. Dave came in and gave us some great ideas during our initial meeting. When we couldn't figure out how to incorporate some elements of our ideal space, he recommended a space planner. We hired the space planner and within an hour she came up with a great solution that actually gave us an extra bathroom. His crew started on the day he said they would and they came every day until the job was complete. The crew was in our home for 9 weeks (right on schedule for the 8-10 weeks we were told the job would take). We lived in our home during the renovations so we were so happy to have such nice, professional, and considerate men working there everyday. We have dogs and a baby so the crew made sure to clean up very well every night before they left. I was really impressed with how well they cleaned up each night, particularly because so much demo had to be done. Anytime there was any question on how things should proceed, we were consulted and given options. Since we encountered some unexpected structural issues, this was greatly appreciated. As a working mother, I appreciated that Dave did all the scheduling of vendors for us. He coordinated with the tradespeople and made sure that things were done correctly and to our satisfaction. That was such a help since there were so many people to coordinate with during our renovation. Dave's team also identified some things that were done wrong in our home and told us how much it would be to fix it and did the work after we okay'd it. For such a large and lengthy project, it went remarkably smooth. The finished product is incredible. The craftsmanship of the work done is amazing. Here is short summary of the work that NLT did for us: took down two walls to open up the kitchen and create an open concept kitchen/dining area; replaced subfloor in kitchen area due to damage; gutted entire kitchen to studs and rebuilt with custom cabinetry, large island, and pantry; fixed three ceiling joists which were not structurally sound; removed fireplace hearth and resurfaced fireplace with new stone; toothed in new hardwood flooring and refinished all floors; created two new bathrooms (one a powder room and the other a full bath); created a new bedroom which required moving an in-wall AC/heating unit; put up new siding on exterior wall due to moving of AC/heating unit; fixed inadequate plumbing; moved baseboard heat units; replace door stoop; install new larger window in kitchen; re-paint entire first floor.
Description of Work: NLT did a complete renovation of the first floor of our home. This included removing walls, gutting/renovating kitchen, putting in new walls, putting in new bathroom.

Thank you so much for the review! I have put before and after pictures of your job on my website… It is without a doubt one of the nicest kitchen renovations I have ever done! I must say – I'm a little jealous… Your kitchen is quite a bit nicer than mine -I'll tell you that! Now that all the furniture is in I definitely need to come back out and take some final pictures! It was an absolute pleasure working for you and your husband –You guys are great ! I look forward to working with you on your next project .... And thank you very much for referring your mom and dad to me… I look forward to remodeling their kitchen and I'm sure I'll see you over there :-)

Dave receives an A+ rating for all areas including likeability. We got his contact information from a friend who personally used his services for a kitchen and bathroom remodeling job. She is particular about her home and many of her neighbors also used Dave, so we had high hopes for him and he did not disappoint us. He is very professional and if a question arises he will consult with his workers to make sure that what he is telling you is correct and that the job can be done. The workers he sends out are highly skilled, keep the area clean, and are trustworthy. We loved the carpenters (Rudolpho and Justin), who spent the largest amount of time of all the workers at our home. The plumber (Steve) returned promptly to fix a leak and was quite pleasant about returning. Dave and the workers coordinate for the least disruptive routine to your life as the work is being done in your home. Dave visits the site daily to oversee the work, is extremely detail oriented and gets the job done right. He is great with customer service by being easily accessible by phone ( he loves his cell phone!). If and when there is a problem or concern he will remedy the issue or go to bat for you. Follow-through (start to finish) is high on his list. We highly recommend NLT Contractors who seem to have Trader Joe's motto of "satisfaction guaranteed"!
Description of Work: NLT Contractors performed a complete demolition and remodeling of our kitchen in our 1978 home. Dave met with us for an estimate, discussed our needs and explored possible design options, drew up a design for the remodeling of the kitchen, met with us again to finalize plans. He checked out the bulkhead space to see if we could place cabinets to the ceiling and explained our options. He referred us to vendors for cabinets, plumbing fixtures, tiling, and appliances selections. The job was completed right on schedule in the number of days he told us it would take.

The kitchen was difficult to plan and construct due to kitchen space and size limitations. When I first started the project I asked Dave if were could do it cheaper. He said others could possibly do it cheaper but he wanted to do a quality job so therefore, he could not do it cheaper. The cabinets were custom made, however Dave did have a plan to use regular cabinets if I wanted to do so. Glen Raver did the custom cabinet work and I was very pleased with quality of the cabinets. It was a pleasure to work with Dave on planning the kitchen layout. Removal and construction went very smoothly. Dave Cedone kept me informed at all times about how the work was going and coordinated everything. I was impressed the by the amount and quality of the trim work that was very detailed that needed to be done. The work crew was punctual and polite. Overall the project turned very well and I am quite pleased. The project was completed when Dave said it would be. I would recommend using Dave and his crew.
Description of Work: NLT did a complete remodel on a kitchen that had not been updated since 1968. The cabinets, sink, faucet, were removed and replaced. There was yellow linoleum tile glued on the walls that needed to be removed and then bead board placed over where the yellow tile had been. A new floor was put in. Appliances replaced were hot water heater, wash, dryer, stove. New ones added were garbage disposal and range hood. Walls were extended out to cover the water pipes and electric wiring. New electric wiring was added along with new plumbing (the washer and dryer were moved to new locations).

As you know, designing your kitchen was quite a challenge. A small kitchen with a washer, dryer, a laundry tub, a water heater, a gas meter, circuit panel....all of that in such a small space...but we did it! Everything you picked out : the tile backsplash, the granite countertop, the cabinetry, the paint colors… All of your selections blended together beautifully. The end result is a kitchen I am very proud of. I know you'll get years of enjoyment out of it… And I plan to post it on my website (with your permission of course). It really was a pleasure working for you, and getting to know you. I hope that we stay in touch :-)

Our experience with NLT has been nothing but fantastic. This is the first major home improvement we have ever done. We was impressed by Dave on his professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge at our first meeting. Our project was a total kitchen remodel in which a weight bearing wall had to be removed. We explained to Dave on what we wanted, and he did the rest. He came back with three different plans for us to look at. As he showed us the plans, and explained the pros and cons of each, you could tell by his enthusiasm that he truly cares for his craft and loves his job. Due to the wall being load bearing, the plans showed the beam being exposed because the bulkheads were being removed. We really didn't want that, but the beam did need to support the roof of the house. He went to his engineer, they came up with a way to reenforce the beam from the top so it didn't show. The crew of Rob, Mike, and Jeff were so pleasant, polite and professional. They treated our home like it was their own. It was a pleasure to see them every morning. As with all projects of this kind in an older home, something always comes up. As they were removing the dry wall, termite damage was found. Some contractors would take advantage of this and really put it to the home owner. I honestly believe that Dave did not. He came up with a viable solution, and charged only for the cost of the materials, and his crews labor. He even recommended a firm to make sure the termites were not going to be residing in the new digs! The original plan was to include a laundry closet that held a washer, dryer, and a spare refrigerator and to be totally enclosed. After they started, they found out they couldn't get doors big enough to accomplish that. Rob and the crew within 15 minutes came up with an alternative plan which was better than the original. NLT's sub-contractors Steve, Russ, and Kenny were wonderful to work with as well. They are as pleasant as the regular crew, and their work was as good and also reasonably priced. All of the vendors that Dave sent us to buy materials from were all knowledgable and so easy to work with. There is one person I have to commend above of all the people Dave pointed us to and that is Glenn of Ravers Cabinets. He is a man who truly loves his work, and it shows in his craftsmanship. We couldn't be happier with his cabinets. I told Dave I had to find one bad thing for this review, and the only thing I can come up with is they finished a day and half earlier than Dave had said they would. I can not express how happy my wife and I are of what Dave and the crew accomplished. I have to say NLT Construction wasn't the cheapest firm we found, but as my late father used to say,"First class only costs a couple dollars more". Dave and the NLT Construction team is definitely worth it and we wholeheartedly recommend them.

The plan was to replace 9 linear feet of the rotted beam; the contractor ordered a 12' LVL beam for replacement. So an longer LVL beam had to be ordered. Dave Cerone, Vice President of the company and manager of this project, consulted a structural engineer, who calculated load factors and the size of the steel plates (and number of necessary fasteners) which would be used to splice the LVL beam to the solid portion of the existing beam. Unfortunately, the rot in the original beam extended 14', just 3' from the house wall that supported one end of the beam; both the support column and the 14 linear feet of beam that were removed were completely rotted out. So a new LVL beam had to be ordered. Despite this setback, no delay in the work occurred. Dave choose cedar for the support column instead of pressure-treated lumber, because when pressure-treated lumber is covered with aluminum, the chemicals in the lumber cause the aluminum to oxidize. That kind of attention to detail is what NLT Construction Company is all about. Throughout the process, Dave extensively documented everything with pictures and accompanying text. The entire project took 3 men 2 days to complete. I have to admit that when I received Dave's estimated cost for the project, I asked him if there weren't cheaper ways to accomplish the work. He said, quite directly, that other contractors might do the job for less, but his company wouldn't, because he knew what was required to deliver a quality product that was also safe. After watching the project progress, I have to agree with him; this new beam and support column will likely last longer than I will. I can't say enough about Dave's honesty and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Dave and NLT Construction Company to anyone. If you want a great job at a fair price, don't hesitate to call NLT.
Description of Work: Replaced a rotted beam and supporting column which buttresses the entry way roof and other exterior architectural structures of the home.

It has been about six months since NLT Construction completed work at our house. I waited to write this review to be sure there weren?t any latent problems. So far so good! We have enjoyed every minute of the completed project, and our guests are completely blown away by the new kitchen appearance and functionality. It was a fairly complicated project that was made even more challenging by side issues that threatened the timing and scope. While we have a fair amount of experience hiring and working with contractors, both professionally and personally, one can never be sure what will happen in any given project. We were very lucky to have found NLT Construction and Dave Cedrone. We have a 100-year-old house that had been in serious disrepair for a number of years. We hired NLT Construction to help us implement a master plan for the rear of the house, including the basement, the kitchen, and eventually the 2nd floor master suite. The total work included structural engineering, concreting the basement floor, removing an exterior wall to include an old porch into the kitchen, replacing porch and basement windows, installing new beams and columns to carry the upstairs loads, typical kitchen gutting and renovations, construction of new dry bar, new powder room and new laundry. Almost immediately the project was threatened by unexpected leaks in the porch roof and walls, seasonal flu, and a few other problems. Further complicating matters was the fact that my husband and I both work from home, so we were around throughout all the usual construction chaos (which could be a help or a hindrance). Dave ensured daily problems were promptly addressed and kept the project very close to the original schedule. For our project, NLT used three carpenters and suggested subcontractors that we would hire and he would manage. This is an atypical arrangement for a general contractor that worked out better than we expected. We feared the potential for conflict and hefty prices. So we obtained quotes from NLT's recommended sources as well as some of our own. In the end, we used all the recommended subcontractors except electrician (we love our electrician), and found their prices to be reasonable, as was the quality. The flooring and drywall were possibly the most expensive and complicated aspects (after NLT's work) because in addition to laying new floor and walls for the kitchen, we took the opportunity to refurbish additional walls and refinish the floors and stairs throughout the house, all of which had to be staged in multiple visits to ensure we could simultaneously live here. The NLT crew coordinated and worked with all the trades extremely well so that we saw minimum disruption in electrical, plumbing and general access. We were thrilled that we found NLT Construction ? their professionalism and performance were exceptional. Dave Cedrone has an almost obsessive attention to detail, and between his drawings, the contract, and his daily visits, we were assured of a complete and successful project. Our kitchen is now the focal point of the house, and even the previous owners were pleased and amazed by the transformation.

I have had a lot of construction done on my houses over the years and NLT is by far the most professional company I've worked with. Not only did they show up every day they showed up on time! If you've ever had construction done you will know this is huge and almost unheard of. The men who worked on our house were pleasant, hardworking and skilled. In the past construction workers treated my home as their workplace but the crew at NLT kept in mind that this was a home first. There were no radios blaring and they cleaned up before leaving for the day. My bathrooms are beautiful and I'm so tickled that we found good people that do excellent work.
Description of Work: NLT construction gutted and replaced 3 of my full bathrooms. Dave helped me design the new bathrooms always keeping in mind the cost. I had some ideas that seemed simple but he was very good at keeping me on track with my budget. They replaced my sink cabinets, toilets, tiled the floors and shower walls, installed shower doors,changed out the tubs and in one bathroom converted a tub to a shower. We also had heated floors put in the master bath. They replaced light fixtures, fixed a bi-fold door that wasn't working well, replaced shelves in a linen closet, patched dry wall in the living room where one bathroom had leaked, and put up some faux beams in our sun room.

Dave was prompt, courteous, professional and educated me about the various shut off vale for the water pipes in my home. It took some time to find the leak. I was surprised and pleased that Dave did not charge me for his time. Additionally, he called his plumber to come out and fix it. Great experience!

It is with mixed emotions that I write this review. I had the good fortune of being around Dave and his crews for over 4 months. The sad part is that these guys became my friends and have now moved on to other projects. I woke up early each morning to join the crews and lend a helping hand/make style decisions/do some other work alongside these guys. This was far from how I envisioned spending my summer but I really enjoyed the experience and gained vast knowledge from being around these guys. First of all, Dave is a mensch! He is the most honest, knowledgeable, fair, trustworthy contractor that I've ever encountered. He is a perfectionist when it comes to his craft and will accept no flaws- even if he has to do the work himself or pay out of his own pocket. Dave is also,by far, the best communicator I've ever encountered. Whether by email, text or phone call, you WILL receive a reply as soon as he is able. He will never leave you in the dark. Finally, though he is extremely knowledgeable, he is not too stuck on himself to take advice as to how to complete a project. The crews that Dave has chosen are remarkable. I believe that he chose these guys based on performance, personality and price. His carpenters are highly skilled and also perfectionists. They are also reliable, trustworthy and just great people. It was no problem for them to accept a delivery or bring in the trashcan if we were out of town and unavailable. They had our garage and door codes and were always welcome here. The subcontractors were just as talented and also great guys. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of them to my closest friends and family. As far as the quality of work is concerned, I believe that the pictures will speak for themselves. I am beyond thrilled with everything they've done here. It is everything I wanted and then some. I can honestly say that not one person, who has come in to see the improvements made to the house, didn't leave here in amazement. Yes, I did play a role in design and layout - but the execution was all NLT. The attention to detail and craftsmanship in the job is simply top notch. If you are considering making any home improvements, you need not look any further. NLT is comprised of a group of gifted people who do superior work at a reasonable price. I can't imagine ever working with another bunch of guys again. A few of my neighbors, who have seen my home, have already hired NLT to do work in their homes. I can assure you that once you hire them and they begin work on your home, you too will be sad to see them go and beyond thrilled with the work that they have completed.
Description of Work: Dave Cedrone (VP of NLT) and his crews finished my basement, added crown molding to first 2 floors of house, added deck to back of house, added coffered ceiling to living room, and renovated our master bathroom- to name a few things.

Dave did a great job with our basement. It was very easy to work with NLT because they did an excellent job at a very reasonable price and because Dave and all his crew were very nice, hardworking and extremely competent. Before the project started, Dave gave us a very detailed contract with designs and pictures. He was open to any changes we wanted to make and he was always available to help solve problems during the construction process. Once we agreed on the plan, Dave's contract gave us very detailed instructions about what we needed to buy and what he would be supplying. Dave's detailed instructions allow you to buy the materials according to your budget. He passes his contractor discount to you so you can buy materials at high end suppliers. But you can also buy them at home improvement stores (like we did). We used all his recommended contractors (plumbing, electric, concrete and landscaping contractors) and they all did fabulous work at reasonable prices. All of them demonstrated a commitment to excellence and craftsmanship (rather than simply wanting to get the job done as we have seen with some other contractors). Dave's own construction crew were not only some of the hardest working people we've ever seen but they showed up every morning on time, with a smile. Rodolfo especially was a pleasure to have around and extremely talented and hardworking carpenter, tiler, and a dozen other things. He and Dave consulted almost every day about the progress of the job and always kept us informed about what they were doing. Since the job was completed, we have been extremely pleased with the results. Not only has our basement now become usable space, it is positively beautiful. The attention to detail that all the NLT workers displayed has paid off wonderfully. Finally, we should mention that Dave stands behind his work into the future. He has emphasized to us that if anything should need tweaking or readjusting, we should call him right away and he will make sure it is taken care of. Hence, not only are we very happy with all the work that NLT did, but we feel very secure in knowing that any problems will be dealt with in Dave's usual meticulous style!

Dave came to do an estimate on replacing our boring windows with bay windows. He was great. Punctual, polite, business but down to earth. He spent an hour at my house and he explained everything that would need to happen during construction. He uses an iPad and is able to email the estimate to you on the spot. Unfortunately, my husband and I chose a different company for this job, but I am hoping we may be able to get Dave & NLT for a future job (I really want a new bathroom).

Dave stopped by to talk about fixing the back of my house. I live in a 100 year old row home in the Penn-North neighborhood. The job was to remove the fire escape and siding, repair the degrading brick then replace the fire escape with a wooden deck structure. The back of the house shows signs of foundation settlement in the area of the fire escape and there were too many unknown issues for us to settle on a contract to accomplish the work. Dave was honest and strait-forward in our discussions of what he knew about the work and I did not feel pressured into deciding on how to plan it. I decided not to hire NLT Construction because there is flat roof work at the top of the rear of my house and Dave stated at the beginning that flat roofs were not their specialty.

It was an absolute pleasure working for the two of you. You guys have a beautiful home and I'm certain that the roof we put up will serve it's purpose - and look good in the process! Lol. When you're ready to do the front porch roof give me a call and we will make that one just as beautiful!😄

If you are looking for any type of construction work to be done in your home then please do yourself a big favor and call Dave Cedrone at NLT Construction. Dave is one of the nicest, knowledgeable, and friendliest people you will ever meet. My wife and I immediately knew that we were going to use NLT Construction for our kitchen remodel when we met Dave for the first time. We did do our due diligence and interviewed other companies but no one else compared to NLT in both price and knowledge of all things in construction. We knew basically what we wanted (complete gut of our kitchen with new cabinets, floor, etc...) and had a basic floor plan but worked with Dave to tweak the design. He explained to us in fine detail what can and can not be done and what should be done when remodeling a kitchen. His 30+ years of experience will insure that your dream kitchen will be just that, nothing less. The NLT construction crew of carpenters, Rob, Mike, and Jeff were just like Dave, i.e., friendly, knowledgeable and always going the extra distance to make sure the job was done right. They were prompt every day for work and cleaned up the entire area before they left for the day. We left them alone in the house for over a month and never, ever worried about not being there while they worked. There were many times I left work a little early just so I could talk to them about what was done that day! We were free to choose any subcontractors for the plumbing, electrical, titling, etc ... but ended up using Dave's suggested tradesmen that he has developed a re-pore with over the years. They too were excellent at what they did and were all a pleasure to work with. In fact, we have used his plumber three more times for unrelated issues in our house. What a great find! We were also free to choose our materials (granite, cabinets, faucets, etc ...) from any store we wanted, but again, ended up using companies that Dave suggested. He passes his complete builder discount onto us and get's nothing in return from these suggested companies. Once again, just as with the subcontractors, we dealt with great people and were able to buy excellent, well made products at a big savings for us. We ended up having custom made cabinets instead of buying pre-made cabinets. It was actually cheaper and we got exactly what we wanted. Dave's cabinet maker was, as you would expect, great in every respect. Our cabinets are spectacular and is the focal point of the kitchen. If you use Dave's suggested suppliers, he will arrange all deliveries and schedule all installations. There are no worries for the homeowners and this along with very competitive prices made it a win-win situation for us! During construction or even after the job is finished Dave is always available for questions or advice on unrelated issues. He will always answer his cell phone and text's and respond to emails by the end of the day (or earlier depending on his schedule). If you have any concerns with any subcontractors or suppliers then Dave will take care of it immediately. The bottom line is: our kitchen is fabulous!! The work was done on time and every last detail was accounted for. It was a sad day for us when our new "friends", Dave, Rob, Mike, and Jeff had to leave for a new job site. Eventually, our 34+ year old house will need something to be upgraded but when this time comes, I am only making one phone call. For my wife and I, there is no reason to call anyone else but NLT Construction.
Description of Work: Did a complete kitchen remodel by gutting the old down to the studs and installing a new kitchen.

(Member name removed), Thank you so much for your kind words. As you know I had a great time working for you ...I wish all my customers were as on top of things as you were. You did a great job of picking out your cabinets, countertops, etc. and the end result is a gorgeous kitchen. I thank you for letting me be a part of that… And I know that we will be working together on another project one day… And that is a day that I look forward to! The one thing I am going to miss most about not working for you is your dog Sam… He became a good friend of mine and I miss him!… Please give him a treat for me :-)

NLT Construction. The. BEST. Bar none! This is the second time we have contracted NLT Construction & Dave Cedrone to remodel our home. Last year Dave beautifully renovated our kitchen. I called Dave immediately when the water pipes burst & he was here the next day to meet with the insurance adjuster AT HER convenience. Dave spent COUNTLESS hours reviewing & revising several damage estimates from the claims adjuster. He battled his way through INNUMERABLE delays & LACK of communication on the part of the adjuster. Dave was more than in our corner on this - he was our fully engaged advocate & champion. He fit our repairs into his already booked schedule. He was on site EVERY day & the job was finished on schedule. Each time I emailed, texted or called him he was IMMEDIATELY responsive regardless of the time of day. If any portion of the remodel was not properly done, Dave caught it & INSISTED that it was corrected. Dave has outstanding subcontractors & arranges that his customers secure his contractor discount. Dave ENCOURAGES his customers to always call him at anytime if they need future advice on their home or require a referral for home repairs outside the scope of NLT Construction. Dave is a perfectionist & expects nothing less from all those who he works with & his works proves it. 100%. We would NEVER consider any other company to do work on our house. Dave ROCKS!! NLT Construction. The BEST!!!
Description of Work: NLT Construction repaired damage from water pipes that ruptured in our attic during the polar vortex event in January 2014. Water poured into the center of the house all day.

(Member names removed), You guys are the best! It is been an absolute pleasure working for you on both your kitchen and on this most recent project where we put your house back together after your pipes burst. This is my second job for you, and the second review you've written for me… And I just want to thank you for taking the time to do that… It really means a lot to me. For you to take the time to sit down and compose a letter that expresses your appreciation for me... puts me at a loss for words. And as you know, I'm rarely at a loss for words… LOL. But seriously, thank you once again, and as you know ... you can call me for anything at anytime, I will always be there for you guys :-)

I realize that my rating is straight excellent for everything, but in fact I would rate the work as an A+ if you provided such a rating. Mr. Cedrone is straightforward, completely honest, very compulsive, very detail oriented, and thinks of everything. He is very knowledgeable and is aware of many possible options. The cost of the service compares well with that of others we contacted (and the total cost, including materials, and the cost of plumber, electrician, painter) is about $42,000. But I think that the cost per quality is better than we could have obtained from anyone else. Mr. Cedrone identified high quality materials that were within our budget. He explained well the quality of materials so that we could shop for specific items (and call on him for more help when we were not certain). NLT employees kept to a great schedule (8 am to 3:30 pm, 5 days a week), for 5 weeks, and worked very effectively to demolish our old bathrooms and remodel them. They were neat. They caused virtually no disruption of the rest of the house. They met the timeline perfectly. And, most importantly, they did an outstanding job. The bathrooms look beautiful and work beautifully and exactly as described in the drawings. I am convinced that NLT construction is better than any other company that I can find in the Baltimore area for this type of construction. Needless to see, I would hire the company again.
Description of Work: NLT construction reconstructed two bathrooms, which were previously the original (1960s, from when the house was built), including designing how to take advantage of the limited space, helped us find and/or purchased for us, materials for the bathrooms (toilets, cabinets, shower, bathtub, tile, windows), and found a plumber, electrician and painter to facilitate this construction.

I HIGHLY recommend NLT Construction. This was the first time I have done a remodel of this magnitude and I had a ton of questions, concerns, worries etc. before Dave even started the job. He answered every call and/or e-mail the same day. We ran into a problem during the project (not related to NLT) and he did everything he could to help me resolve it. He wanted me to be happy with the end result and that was all that mattered. He pays such close attention to detail and is extremely responsive. He explains everything to you so you know exactly what to expect. I am already planning my next project with NLT and wouldn't consider using anyone else.

I can't say enough about NLT Construction. Dave and his team are true professionals. I own a row home in Baltimore City that I rent out. Being an out of state landlord one would think it would be difficult to find a contractor who would work with me both during the planning and construction phases of the job. NLT Construction worked with me every step of the way. Not to mention I have always viewed hiring a contractor with a lot of skepticism especially after you hear about all of the horror stories on TV, I watch Holmes Inspection every night. Dave put me right at ease from the beginning and there was always a sense of mutual respect and trust. His team was courteous, timely, professional and of course very skilled. They cleaned up every night when they were done and finished in the week time that he promised. Dave only considered the job 100% complete until I was 100% satisfied, which I was. Lastly, for me communication is key. I want a contractor who responds timely when I contact them. After all you are investing significant money into your house and trusting this person to act in your best interest, do the work as discussed and up to the applicable code requirements. Dave always kept me up to date as to the progress of the house and any issues they encountered while doing the work. This was perhaps the best experience I have ever had with a contractor hands down. I would certainly recommend NLT Construction to my family and friends and any one else who is considering doing home renovations. I only wish he would renovate my kitchen in NYC :)

NLT has been our go to company for at least 10 years. They remodeled our basement in our family home. Dave Cedrone has great vision and good design abilities maximizing space with lots of built ins-bookcases, a desk area and storage space. In our condo, NLT renovated our unit in a 1955 building with lots of challenges. They were able to move doors, match crown moldings, replace a mirrored wall with built in bookcases, storage area and an entertainment center. In addition, they re-did two bathrooms maximizing storage space. Again, Dave's talent in design was creative and met our needs better than we had anticipated. NLT converted two 1955 closets to a walk in closet. We had NLT back this year (We did not get other estimates) to renovate our kitchen with granite counter tops, backsplash, new sink and new doors for our existing cabinets. We paid directly the granite folks, plumbers and the carpenter who custom made the doors. Dave of course oversaw all workers. His own employees, several of whom worked on our other projects, are courteous, smart, neat and professional. They all went the extra mile by adjusting a ceiling fan, replacing an exhaust fan, purchasing and installing the switch plates, dish towel rack, etc. We probably could have found someone less costly, but the peace of mind knowing that everything will be the highest quality and that NLT will stand by their work is well worth going with NLT. Everyone was prompt, professional and gave us great service.

The crews for NLT have always been professional, neat, and near perfection. Dave makes sure the job is done correctly the first time. Any issues, he is responsive and resolves quickly. We have worked with NLT Construction for over ten years. We have done room additions, hallway remodels, kitchen remodel, several bathroom remodels, roofing, front porch addition, siding work, and more! This company is more than my contractor - they have become family friends.
Description of Work: Dave and NLT Construction has done many many jobs for me. Our last home, he practically rebuilt. Our current home, we did an extensive master bath/bed/closet remodel and added closets in our hallway and basement den area.

Working with Dave Cedrone is such a positive experience that you look forward to working with your contractor on every step, from planning/designing, to drawing up the contract, to dealing with all of his crew and to the clean up they perform everyday. Anyone that Dave puts you in touch with is sure to be as professional, courteous, competent and detail-oriented as he is. I have recommended him to friends who are equally pleased. First, you know that you will be treated promptly with the utmost courtesy. Customer service is crucial to Dave. He is always available by phone so that when you are standing in the middle of a store making a decision and you have a question, you can call on the spot and be sure that he'll answer. He and his crew are on time and do what they say they are going to do when they say they will do it. If you are told the job will take 4 weeks, it takes 4 weeks. In addition to customer service, NLT provides superior workmanship. I've seen other bathroom remodels that were not equal in quality to NLT's work. There is remarkable attention to detail. Everything is precise, sturdy, secure and beautiful. Dave stands behind all the work of his crew and contractors. Should any glitch arise, Dave makes sure that in the end you are 100% satisfied or the job isn't finished. I love my new kitchen! It's better than what I imagined.
Description of Work: Most recently NLT Construction completely gutted, designed and renovated my entire kitchen. 4 years ago they redesigned and installed a huge wall of windows and gutted and renovated a full bathroom. They took everything down to the studs and updated everything in both the bathroom and kitchen.

I'm extremely pleased with NLT Construction's work in converting my one car garage into a good sized room, with full bath and remodeled laundry area. I was searching for months and was unable to locate a contractor to perform this type of work. I decided to check out Angie's List and came across NLT Construction. Based on the excellent reviews, I decided to contact Dave Cedrone. Dave immediately responded and I was very impressed with his professionalism from start to finish. After I told Dave what I wanted done, he drew up a proposed plan which included blueprints and specifications. Upon finalization of the contract, Dave explained the work to be involved, the project start date, the length of time it would take to complete the project, and a very close estimate of the costs that would be involved. Dave also provided me with a clear cut and easy to follow list of accessories which made my shopping trouble-free. The project was completed as laid out in the contract -- and there were no unpleasant surprises!! The worked started on time -- Dave's Crew, which consisted carpenters and subcontractors (electrician, plumber, tiler, concrete person) were hard working, pleasant and professional (just a great group of guys!!). I was so amazed at the Crew's attention to detail -- the Crew consistently made sure that things were built to my liking. I had many questions regarding my personal finishing touches on my new space -- Dave and Crew gave me very good advice and recommendations (as I am not very knowledgeable regarding the upkeep of my home.) Additionally, Dave was always available to answer questions and/or address concerns! NLT Construction did a fantastic job in turning my unusable space (where I generally store junk) into a fully livable space with great insulation and adequate lighting. The finished product looks great and I am really excited about my new living area. I will definitely hire NLT Construction for future projects!

NLT will be our contractor for any and all future projects we do. Not enough good things can be said about the owner, Dave. He is punctual; detail oriented, organized, and demands the best not only from his team but from every sub-contractor he employs. When you first meet Dave he comes armed with an ipad full of pictures and plenty of ideas. He is professional and passionate. He had tons of suggestions for our kitchen and I knew immediately he understood exactly what we were looking for. He draws up plans and gives you a shopping list, so you know exactly your responsibility along with what he will be doing and when. The men he employs are courteous, friendly, and always on time. We felt safe and secure having these guys in our home every day for 2.5 weeks. Everyone did a great job, cleaned up after themselves, and made sure the kitchen was done exactly right every step of the way. Dave has great follow up and is available at any time you need him.... really... he ALWAYS answers his phone/texts. We even added replacement windows for the entire house. They were able to add this onto the current kitchen job and even finish it within a day. We had no issues with Dave or any of his work. We did struggle with the appliance supplier (to no fault of Dave) and yet he would be on the phone with them making sure everyone did exactly what they were supposed to do to make things right for us. We are so happy with our new kitchen; we are already making plans for a bathroom remodel and adding another bathroom to our home. You can't go wrong with this group. They are by far the exception to the rule of any contractor. They are always on time, complete the job in the time frame provided, are responsive to your requests, and will make sure you are completely satisfied.
