Jon and his crew exceeded our expectations. From power washing to priming to painting our house, Andre and Marcelo did an outstanding job. They were always prompt, polite, and very helpful when we had questions. And the clean-up each afternoon was meticulous. They also did some minor carpentry work which was also excellent. We could not have been more pleased and would highly recommend Jon and Beacon Home Pro. Huge thanks to Jon and his crew, especially Andre and Marcelo.

I'll start the review with some background about my situation- On February 2nd, 2014, my family and I suffered through a severe house fire cause by a plumber, who was sweating pipe in our shower at the time. The top two floors of the house and most of our personal belongings were completely destroyed. Because we live in a townhouse, the rebuild was a little more complicated than it would be for a single family home. My homeowner's association has insurance that covered the structure, but only as it was built in 1986, and my personal homeowner's insurance covered any upgrades made to the original blueprints. There were several upgrades made to the home when I purchased it, including a finished basement, hardwood floors, granite countertops and ceramic tile in the bathrooms. In addition to the two insurance companies, there was also the plumber's insurance company, my property management company and HOA board involved in the process. The extensive number of people involved in the reconstruction further complicated the situation. I was fortunate to work with Beacon Home Pro because a situation as complicated as mine is exactly Jon Liccardi's area of expertise. He has a background in dealing with not only fire rebuilds, but rebuilds in townhomes where multiple insurance companies, management companies, and HOA boards are involved. This expertise proved to be extremely helpful during the entire process. He has some great subcontractors that he works with, and I was particularly happy with his choices of electrician and plumber. Jon was always accessible via e-mail, text or phone call, regardless of day or time. I was paid up front by my insurance company, so I had a strict budget to work with, which he kept in mind the entire way. We were able to customize our home exactly the way we wanted, and it is now even better than before and up to 2014 building codes. We were delayed 4 months by my HOA's insurance company and, sensitive to our frustration, Jon finished the project in 5 months, 4 weeks earlier than his estimated date. Jon has since been back to the home to tie up little odds and ends, even though he has already been paid in full and has to drive over an hour to get to us. He's a great guy to work with and he ensures that his customers are 100% happy with their home. I would definitely recommend Beacon Home Pro for any project, large or small.

Jonathan and his crew recently painted our house and we are very pleased. They also did some carpentry work and did a fine job. The boys were prompt, polite, reliable, and neat. Jonathan was always helpful and very professional. I would not hesitate to hire them again or to recommend them.

Could not have been more pleased. The house and deck were meticulously prepped and stained. Carpentry work, both major and minor, was done meticulously. Kudos to John and his crew-- Andre and Marcelo.

Jon and his team were terrific. Jon was very responsive and his team was meticulous. We needed quite a bit of prep work that required replacing many sections of our trim that had rotted, which they did perfectly. Our house looks like a new house. Even the neighbors have commented on how nice the house looks. They were also quick and neat - a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Jon and his team.

Beacon Home Pro painted our house, which required extensive pre-sanding. Work was done in a highly professional and skillful manner with painters who were dedicated to quality work in all phases of the project. Jonathan was highly descriptive of the work to be done, which gave me the confidence to engage their services. Our neighbors continual comment about the beautiful paint job that was done. I couldn't be more pleased with Beacon Home Pro's work and would hesitate for a moment to recommend them to any homeowner who is looking for high quality work and attention to detail.

Beacon Home Pro painted our house and renovated our barn and painted the barn as well. They stuck within the time frame, took great pride in their work, and did an excellent job. We have received many compliments from our neighbors. We are very happy with the appearance of our 1921 farm colonial and barn. We would certainly recommend Beacon Home Pro to any home owner.

We are a do it yourself family. Always have been. This time around and a change of circumstance led me to seek out a professional team to perform some exterior work on my home. Jon and his team were one of five estimates gathered for the same work.Timing, efficiency and value were among the attributes that weighed on my decision. I got all of that and more from Beacon HomePro. The team of painters worked hard and were efficient in getting the job completed. They were pleasant and neat. I'm very pleased with the outcome and would definitely use them again.

We couldn't be happier! Our house has natural cedar siding so I was very particular about the powerwashing and stain to be used. Jon (the owner) listened and followed my wishes exactly. Other bidders wanted to do it mostly their way . All the Beacon people were skillful, neat, pleasant and cooperative. They skillfully did repairs to some cupped siding and added 7 sections of trim high along the roof line at minimal cost. They arrived on schedule and worked steadily- stopping for a rainy period but finished 2 coats in 3 days. A few minor items were done 3 days later as promised. Good People, Good Price, Good Job. We're extremely pleased

Jon and his team were among the most professional and trusted staining and repair contractors I have ever hired to work on my home. Their attention to detail, neatness and willingness to listen to my needs as the homeowner are traits which are hard to find. I have owned my home for 29 years and consider myself very particular. Jon's crew worked on my home as it was their own and it looks new again. I would recommend BeaconHomePro to those who demand the best job possible.

I have always done my own home maintenance and was reluctant to hire someone to stain the exterior of my house. I am a perfectionist when it comes to work on my home because I have to look at it every day. Jon came in with the lowest price out of 3 estimates and added in extras that the other contractors didn�t bring up. His personality and prior reviews sold me on hiring him. He kept in constant contact with me throughout the job, and was very cognizant of my concerns. I was very pleased with the professionalism of him and his crew which did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Beacon Home Pro to those that use your website.

Jon was extremely courteous, professional and timely in response to my questions and concerns from my first request for an estimate through the completion of the job. His crew of painters were very respectful of my home and family and did a fantastic job on my very old house. Slight repairs and carpentry were well done and I was apprised of all expenses along the way. There were no surprises. The paint job is fantastic and the clean-up was very thorough. Jon is a pleasure to work with and his painters were very pleasant, hard working and excellent at their job. I would highly recommend Jon and his team at Beacon.
