We have used the services of 518 Remodel on two separate occasions. Their service and work have always been outstanding. In the fall of 2017 they added 8 feet to our garage and then built and outfitted a mudroom/ laundry room for us. This was an extensive project which required construction, excavation, paving, electrical, plumbing, painting, concrete and drywall work. All this work was completed to the highest standards. We again, hired this company in March 2021, to do some attic work and to retile 2 bathrooms. Here again we were fully satisfied and impressed with the jobs that were done for us. Sal, the owner, has subcontractors commence work in a timely manner, and he always returns your call and attends to all of the customers needs. This is truly an excellent full-service construction company that performs high quality work.

I recently hired Sal to insulate my garage attic. Sal and his workers first had to make a new larger hatch for access to the attic. A walk was installed in the attic for future access to electrical wiring. Rolled insulation was installed, as was proper vents in all the eves. The work was completed in a timely fashion. During the recent heat wave, I could already tell that the garage feels cooler! Sal promptly returned phone calls and texts. He took the time to explain in detail the work that was needed. Sal and the workers were very courteous and kept me informed of their progress. My garage was left cleaner than it had been. Much appreciated! I would definitely hire Sal again.

Sal the owner and Lenny the worker came over and did the work quickly and efficiently. He charged me $100 less then the lowest estimate I had received. He even came on a Sunday because it rained on the Saturday. I gave the price a B rating as I am somewhat cheap and feel everything is expensive. He also got me a great price on my roof.

The old heavy door, tracks, and opener were removed and disposed of. A new Liftmaster double door, tracks and opener were installed. The door looks very nice, and enhances the looks of the house. It is very quiet opening and closing. The beautiful wagon wheel shaped windows are at a height that I can see out of, and I love being able to look out the windows when I am working in the garage. It is great to be able to control the door from the HomeLink button on my car's rear view mirror.
Description of Work: Replace an old windowless wooden double garage door with a new triple insulated door. I was able to choose the color of the door, the style of the decorative windows, and the height of the windows.

I hired Sal to work on the side of the house with the most issues. He removed the mulch that was up against the house, and shrubs that were too close to the house. He removed enough dirt so that remaining soil sloped away from the house. Sal then put down crushed stone, and compacted the stone. He then installed waterproof landscape fabric and put decorative stone on top. Sal also re-cut and rerouted the downspout. I was so impressed with the job that I hired Sal to do similar re-grading work (crushed stone, landscape fabric, decorative stone) on 2 other sides of the house, including back breaking work to properly grade underneath a deck in back. Sal and his crew worked very, very hard in cold temperatures and biting wind, in order to finish the job before the ground froze. They did a great job to clean up after themselves at the end of the day. I will be hiring Sal to do basement waterproofing work on the inside of the house.
Description of Work: Discovered that basement in newly purchased house was not as dry as I thought it was. I wanted suggestions on how to remedy the moisture problem. I met with several contractors, and Sal was the ONLY one that asked to see the outside of the house. He told me that I needed to fix issues on the outside of the house before fixing issues in the basement.

Sal and his team were wonderful to work with. They showed up when they said hey would and were all very polite and respectful of our home and covered and protected the room and hallway leading up to the attic. They disposed of all the old insulation. Our house was immediately cooler. We were and still are extremely happy with the job that they did. Thank you 518 remodel, we look forward to working with you again.

After seeing 518 Remodel's great work on another home, I gave Sal a call and couldn't be happier with the results. Sal is by far the best contractor I have ever hired. His communication skills and attention to details are exceptional. During the project, Sal met me at my home several times and updated me on the phone. Sal treats every project as if it were his own and makes sure you are happy with the results. With that said, Sal and his crew went above and beyond building a beautiful 24x24 garage. His workers are fast and efficient. In only a few days, the concrete slab and entire main structure were up. Sal personally inspects every project and makes sure things are done right, paying attention to minute details. The carpentry job inside the garage was challenging and turned out beautiful (Thank you Leonard). Sal and his crew were also very accommodating in doing side projects on my home and doing last minute changes. Not to mention, making several suggestions that I'm glad I went with. If you are a person that wants a project done right, to the best standards, I highly suggest you go with 518 Remodel.

Fantastic. We have used these folks for other jobs and this project turned out as well as the others. They did exactly what I requested, with the materials requested, the way I would have done it. They were on time every day. The crew was pleasant and friendly. They cleaned up after themselves. The yard looked better after they picked up than before. The roof looks great. No leaks. There were also some trim and carpentry repairs that needed to be made. They did that with no fuss. The work they performed looks beautiful. Fit and finish is great. It's a big roof and they worked long and hard to get us back under cover in as short a time as possible. All in all, a great job by an excellent team.

Sal was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions regarding our roof and attic and helped us to choose the right shingles to complement our home. On the day that the service was provided, Sal and his team were right on time and all were very courteous and professional. They quickly removed and replaced the existing roof and plywood all in one day. They protected all areas surrounding our home and did a thorough walk through after they were done to make sure all the debris was removed. We are extremely happy with our new roof and the stress free service that 518 Remodel provided. I would highly recommend them and will be using them again.

Sal and Lenny were both a pleasure to work with. Sal was very prompt in coming out to provide an estimate, and his estimate was on par with other contractors we got estimates from. Sal was also very accommodating when I had to postpone the work at the last minute due to a family emergency. We were able to reschedule within two weeks, and the work was completed within 4 days. Each day, they arrived promptly at 8am, and at the end of the day, the areas were cleaned so that there was no mess left behind. They hauled away all of the trash and recycling when they were done. I did not have to lift a finger. I would do business again with 518 remodel.
Description of Work: They installed insulation, venting, and a walk in the attic. Installed two new lights in the hallways (where there were no pre-existing lights). Installed a new bathroom fan/light with a timed switch. Installed a garbage disposal (where there was no pre-existing one).

It was a pleasure working with Sal and his crew, they were very friendly, easy to talk to and were very flexible and accommodating with some last minute changes that we made and never once complained. They also addressed any concerns we had promptly and efficiently.They showed up every day on time and were very professional, courteous, and respectful of our home, family, and pets. They protected our home with canvas and plastic and were very careful while moving things in and out of our home all while being very clean, neat , and organized.The work was completed within the time frame we agreed upon and done correctly and also within our budget. They also found and addressed some safety issues which I am so thankful for. I look forward to having them back to do more work for us in the future. It was truly a stress free and awarding experience, I would highly recommend them to my family and friends without hesitation.
Description of Work: 518 Remodel turned our embarrassing bathroom into a beautiful and functional space that we now enjoy going into. They completely gutted the bathroom and replaced the floor, walls, window, vanity, sink, tub, toilet, trim, all fixtures, floor and wall tiles, with high quality workmanship that well exceeded our expectations. The taping, sanding, and painting came out flawless. I especially loved Sal's suggestion of slanting the bottom casing of our window seal which sits above our tub so that the water drains down into the tub instead of sitting inside the window seal.

Sal showed up early and was a really nice guy. He had a lot of ideas of what we could do to improve the insulation of our 1950s Cape Cod house. Unfortunately, we never heard from him again. He was supposed to write up an estimate for us. He never did. We called and followed-up with him and he never responded. So, if you are actually interested in getting work done, don't bother calling 518 Remodel - they are not interested in your work!
