WE ARE A GERNERAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE 2005. WE ARE LICENSED AND INSURED. WE SPECIALIZE IN ROOFING, SIDING, GUTTER'S, MASONRY AND CHIMNEY'S. WE WORK WITH RESIDENTAL AND COMMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. WE SERVE ALL THE NEW JERSEY AREA. WE OFFER COMPETITIVE PRICING AND LOANS FOR CUSTOMERS THAT APPLY. OUR OFFER FREE ESTIMATES TO ALL CUSTOMERS. WERE AVAILIABLE 24HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK.
Ever get the feeling that all a contractor wants you to do is sign the contract and hand over the deposit? Then the guys actually doing the work don't really inspire confidence? That's this crew. They did an adequate job but in hindsight, we really should have shopped around for a more experienced team. Lots of fast talking and rushing to get the job, but the work is not the best.
Description of Work: Replaced copper flashing and mortar joint on chimney.

They arrived 2 hours late, and gave us an estimate of $7,000.00. They promised to be back the next day to do the work. They came 2 days later and told us the job would be $17,000.00 to make the repairs. When we told them we could not pay that much, they went back to their original estimate of $7,000. They asked for $3,500. to start the job. They came 2 days later. after promising co come out the next day. They did the work, and after 2 days completed it. They asked for the balance of $3,500. We gave them the payment. The next day, all all the cement they had applied was cracking and falling off! I called them to come back and that I wanted them to return the check to us until they resolved the problem. They promised to come back that day. they did not. I called and left voicemails and they did not return my calls. I stopped payment on the check and then they called us threatening to sue and put a lean on our property. I invited them to do so as I have photos of the mess they had made. the rep, John, was belligerent, and disrespectful. the owner called and said they would come out and fix it but wanted the $3,500. I said once it is fixed I will give them a check. they came 3 days later to reapply cement. We gave them $2,500. and held the balance until after inspection. It is 3 days later and it is cracking and falling off again. They said they would be out to repair it, but they have not been back, not do they return our calls. Do not work with this company. I also learned that although they had applied for a permit, they had not yet been granted one from our town. We are out $5,500.00 and till have a chimney that is falling apart!

They are very professional and did an excellent job! We have used them more than once and we have been very impressed every time. Our friends have commented on how awesome the renovations look. They are punctual and courteous. They went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with every detail. We have an old house, and they matched up the new baseboards with the old baseboards perfectly! You can imagine the amount of dust created by all this work, however, everyday they cleaned up their work space before leaving. We will continue to use them, and plan to do so this fall.
Description of Work: They installed a new roof, new gutters, replaced some siding, gutted 4 bedrooms and replaced all ceilings and walls, built new wall in dining room, replaced baseboards, opened up kitchen wall, rewired electrical in kitchen, fixed 3rd floor bathroom leak, added crown moulding in kitchen, new kitchen ceiling, framed and installed new front door and installed new railing for the front steps.

We bought our house in July 2011. On 9/23/11, we hired Dream Team to replace the damper that was rusted shut, inspect the chimney, and get the fireplace in usable shape. Upon inspection, they determined that a liner needed to be installed and a cap would also need to be put on the chimney. They also said they needed to lay down fire brick in the fireplace area to support burning wood for fires. They performed most of the work on 9/23/11 and 9/24/11 and we paid the full $4950 then. They agreed to try and make time to return the following day (9/25/11) to cut and lay the fire brick to complete the job. They were not able to make it on 9/25, so we called the office to schedule an appointment on 10/15/11. On 10/14, I called to confirm the appointment, but the office had no record of it. I then rescheduled for 10/21/11. Our contractor from Dream Team called the morning of 10/21 to confirm the appointment for the afternoon. However, no one showed up and no one called to let us know they weren't going to make it. We called the office on 10/22, and they told us they would have our specific contractor call us to reschedule. We never received this phone call. On 10/24/11, we requested a refund for the portion of the work that was not completed for $1,100. We were able to go through our credit card company to get the refund for the work that was not performed. On 10/8/2012, we contacted a new company to finish the job Dream Team never completed and inspect the chimney. They informed us that the liner that was installed by Dream Team was not the correct size and was not installed very well and that the fire brick was unnecessary for our fireplace area. They also informed us of additional issues of cracks in the chimney and incorrect chimney height, and while these issues were not the fault of Dream Team, they are issues that Dream Team should have noticed in their inspection. If we had been informed of those problems in the chimney, we never would have had the original work done. *UPDATE (5/17/13)*- We are in the process if trying to resolve some of the problems. We have been informed that the contractor who preformed our work is no longer with the company and Dream Team has arranged to have someone else come out next week to look at the chimney. I will update this review further based on how that visit goes.
Description of Work: Installed a cap, liner, and began laying down fire brick.

gutter cleaning, chimney repair

Received a coupon in ValPak and looked up the company on Angie's list. The coupon was for gutter cleaning for $45.00. Spoke with the office and they told me if I had more than 100 feet it would be extra. I asked how much extra per foot and she could not give me an exact amount but said if it was 120 to 150 feet it should cost about $75.00. The first appointment we had for an estimate was cancelled due to rain. The next day the guys came out and as they looked at the roof from the ground said did they tell you if you have screens it will be more? I told them nobody told me that. They measured my gutters went and called the office and came back with a quote of $250.00 for a gutter cleaning I had a coupon for. I feel like I was just the victim of bait and switch.

Response from DREAM TEAM CONSTRUCTION LLC
We feel very unfortunate that the member was not happy with our service. It seems that there was a lack of communication between the customer and our company. At the time the estimate was made it was not made clear the there were gutter guards present at the time. If we were aware of that we would have advise her that it will be more because of the guards. Reasoning being is that to clean the gutters all of the guards have to be removed. Which require more work from our technicians. We uphold and honor all of our coupons if the customer is within the guidelines of our coupon. We at Dream Team are willing to rectify this situation with the member if at all possible. We do not want any of our customers to feel like they were scammed in anyway.

I found the Dream Team through a coupon in my Value Pack. With much trepidation, I called regarding some serious damage to my siding. Charles arrived as scheduled, did a thorough examination, and gave me a quote of $1500, which, considering the repairs to be labor intensive, I thought was a great price. The workers arrived exactly on time, and worked ceaselessly at a job that became much bigger than originally thought (the squirrel nest was more than 20 feet long, requiring removal of my entire back soffett). It was a disgusting dirty job, but they cleaned up every stick and twig. I incurred no additional charges. Then, I asked one of the workers to take a look at my chimney. With one look, he was able to diagnose a problem that I have had two different contractors try to diagnose with no success - I have a cracked chimney liner. Without ever going into my house, "June" was able to tell me that I had a wall leaking water, and was getting the exhaust from my furnace leaking into my bedroom. They gave me an extremely reasonable price - $2300. I am thrilled that my husband and I took a chance and called the Dream Team
Description of Work: The Dream Team removed my entire soffet from the back of the house, cleaned out a 20' squirrels' nest, replaced the soffet, and repaired the squirrels' entrance end caps. They replaced 4 entire pieces of siding from the front and back dormers of my house. They also installed a chimney liner. The mess created by the squirrels nest was extraordinary, and they cleaned up every stick and twig. They arrived on time, and were extremely courteous and professional. I have already recommended them to my family.

It was a terrible experience. There was a poor quality of work and nothing was done professionally. The doors and walls are crooked. It was just sloppy and shaddy work, including the electric.
Description of Work: They completely renovated my whole first floor. They removed wall, relocated the kitchen, tiled floor, installed steel beams, painted the walls and installed wood flooring.

They were on time. Being a novice I did not know how correct they were. I have called many times for help. They said they were behind in their work. The date is now 11/12/2011, not completed and will not answer calls. Money paid on 10/26/11. Calling division of Consumer Affairs & Better Business. Problem still exists to date.
Description of Work: A lead man from Dream Team Chimney has hard time taking out old liner, six or seven men came to help with new bricking and flashing. Problem was inside the home with size of connections to the hot water connection. Problem was PSE&G (Gas Co) water heater and boiler were not connected correctly and they would not approve work.

Overall I was happy with the service. They came when they said they would and performed the service for the price quoted. They clearly did both the gutter cleaning and the tuneup, since I clearly saw the nails were hammered in and some disconnected portions had been fixed. Would hire again.
Description of Work: Called them to provide an estimate for gutter cleaning. Originally they gave us a quote for gutter replacement, but then the came back and gave the correct quote. They performed gutter cleaning on our 1.5 story split leve, including 'tune up' in which they repaired nails and fixed a broken 'elbow'

Workers were professional and friendly. Their work performed was acceptable. Back office billing and receptionist are completely unprofessional. Receptionist explained to me her problems with their insurance agent getting a certificate of insurance (not my problem, get a new agent). After she couldn't figure out anything, another gentleman gets on the phone with an attitude and would try to talk over their client. How a company like this stays in business makes me scratch my head.

A Dream Team representative kept his appointment and discussed the condition of our chimney and gutters. He offered several solutions explaining the benefits and down sides of each. Unfortunately the representative gave us some inaccurate information about warranties and costs. When I met with the office manager he wrote into the contract the conditions which had been misrepresented and didn't increase the agreed upon price. I had been assured many times there would be no charge for a special project because the necessary material was available and could easily be installed at no extra cost. Turns out the material wasn't available so I was required to pay extra if I wanted to go ahead with the special project, which I decided to do because I considered the cost to be reasonable. During the recent blizzard the cap blew off the to of the chimney and the company refitted it the same day I called, at no charge.
Description of Work: * Clean chimney top to base with 7" brush to remove any loose debris. * Install new 6" chimney liner. * 25 year warranty on liner if cleaned by Dream Team bi-yearly at the charge of $49.00 each time. *Chimney cap included in cost of liner. *Black Jack entire chimney with Karnack 19 roof cement. *Install new seamless gutters around entire house. * Upgrade hot water heater smoke pipe from 3" to 4". * Replace missing siding from side of roof.
