Pantalone Construction Inc

Pantalone Construction removed my old front walk and installed a new one in a very professional and timely manner. Mario and his son are true craftsmen and did a beautiful job. I have been in the tile and stone business for almost 40 years (now retired) and would highly recommend them.

We hired Pantalone Construction [Mario Pantalone] to rebuild our sidewalks which were badly broken by tree roots. The job involved a number of challenges including finding a way to save a large tree that was responsible for a good bit of the damage to one of the walks. From the initial estimate on, it was clear that Pantalone was highly professional company. Workmanship was of the highest order with the attention to detail you'd expect from a first-rate contractor. A good contractor also needs to be a problem solver- Mario saved our tree and overcame other difficulties involved in our project. He even took pains to save the hosta plants that lined our walk, carefully digging them up with his back hoe so we could replant them later. Work was done in a timely and efficient manner. Two long walks were rebuilt in a week- they are beautiful. Mario has been doing quality work in Schenectady for over thirty years. It was amazing to note the number of people walking down the street who stopped to chat with him while he worked. It was obvious how respected and well liked he is. I have no doubt his reputation is well-deserved and well-earned, built on years of doing excellent work. Besides sidewalks, Mario handles a number of other construction and remodeling jobs, especially in the winter as his focus moves indoors. I don't doubt he brings the same level of craftsmanship to this work. In short, rebuilding our walks was a difficult job that involved a great deal of hard work- both physical labor and engineering know-how. [Here, a shout out to Gerald, Mario's assistant, for his efforts- he worked incredibly hard.] Pantalone Construction deserves an A+ for a job well-done. Hire them without reservation

We needed our front steps replaced. We contacted Mario at Pantalone Construction and he came the next day to see what we needed done. He discussed with us what should be done. We had also talked with two other contractors. Mario impressed us with his knowledge and how he would do the job. He listened to what we were saying. He was very careful with plants near the steps, careful with our lawn and did a great job cleaning up after. The two other workers along with Mario were pleasant, professional and good workers. I would highly recommend Mario and Pantalone Construction. We are very happy with our new steps!!

When I called Mr. Pantalone and described the problem, he asked me to text him pictures of my steps so he could see whether they were precast. He then called me back, and after discussing the problem, he explained what my options were. Because of the timing of the project, we were not able to have the job done; but Mr. Pantalone was extremely courteous and professional, and I found him to be very helpful.

My concrete porch and stairs needed replacement. Mario came and evaluated the job. Discussed the process and possible complications. He gave me a fair estimate of the job. He and his crew arrived at the time he indicated. The job was done in a timely manner and exactly as he predicted. He and his crew of Shane and Dillon did the job and cleaned up after. I was very impressed with the fact that Mario is old school. All the concrete work was hand finished.They were very careful and meticulous. I would definitely have them do my next project.

From the beginning Mario struck me as a guy who takes pride in his work and knows what he's doing. This was very evident throughout the job. Mario was on site every day and conducted the work himself with a few other workers including his son on occasion. He was also very professional, insisting on having a building permit and stamped drawings. Considering the type of work being done he kept the job very clean and orderly. He finished in the time he quoted, working on a couple of Saturdays too, and did not adjust his quoted price at the end. He even went above and beyond fixing a few little things here and there that weren't part of the main plan.

Too busy to schedule my work, but was polite enough to talk about it and honest enough to admit that he was too busy. Often contractors will agree to a meeting, etc. and never follow through. Mario was honest and helpful right up front.

I called Pantalone Construction hoping to acquire an estimate for the structural work I needed done on my front porch. Mr. Pantalone was very pleasant on the phone and explained in detail the estimate process he used before any actual construction was agreed upon. He also talked at great length about what a "good worker" he was and what "good reviews" he had listed in several locations. He ended the conversation by promising he would call me back "in a few hours" (after he got done with his current job) to set up an appointment to come out to my house and look at my porch, to give me an estimate for the construction. I never heard from him again. All talk - and LOTS of it - but no action!

Mario Pantalone came in, and gave us a good evaluation of the problem and the solution. When he came to fix the problem, he and his assistant showed up on time, and was very courteous and professional. The work was done exactly as he said he would do it, was done quickly, and the clean-up was amazing, with nothing out of place when he left. After having several suggestions by other businesses, some offering solutions without ever looking at the problem, Pantalone took our concerns seriously, and didn’t try to sell us more than what we needed. His pricing was extremely fair, reasonable and below the estimate. We were extremely impressed with Mario Pantalone and the service provided and we will certainly use him again.

My wife was extremely worried about a potential problem with our 76 year old house. She had seen major gaping in the molding where it met the hardwood flooring on all three floors of the south side of our home. I found Mario's name and number on Angie's list and called. He was at our house less than 24 hours later, right on time, and spent about 45 min with my (can be) very difficult wife. He walked the property, checked each floor and the basement for all the issues she suspected. He was very reassuring to my wife that there were no structural issues and everything was sound. After all that she also talked to him about cutting out and framing a pass thru (window) into our dining room. Mario was punctual, kind, very understanding and very very helpful. We haven't made the decision to go a head with the pass thru but we were very happy with the overall experience.

Mario was the person we talked to and he was the one who either did the work or was here to supervise the work being done by specialists. He had a network of suppliers he referred us to and they gave us great deals on all of our applications, cabinets and hardware. The work he did was done under budget, on schedule and everyone was very neat and clean. We got exactly what we wanted and more. He had great suggestions to problems we had and we could not be happier.

Mario Pantalone provided us with a written estimate for the scope of work requested along with an insurance certificate with appropriate coverages. Once approved Mr. Pantalone acquired the necessary demolition permit from the local municipality and began work the following day. Beginning at 7:00 AM, the work itself took less than 8 hours to complete from the inital swipe with the backhoe to the final sweep of the broom. (I actually couldn't find one nail in the driveway after his crew left the site.) There were no unforeseen issues or change orders during the course of the work. As a matter of fact, since I helped load the truck with the demo'd garage, we were actually invoiced less than the original quote provided by the contractor. All in all, it was a very good project, completed in a timely, neat and professional manner. I would highly recommend Pantalone Construction to any homeowner considering using a General Contractor in the Capital District area of NY.

We never got into a contract where he performed work but he was good. He showed up on time for the times he did show up.

It was an emergency so they didn't wait, they rushed and came right over. They were excellent and I continue to use them.

The service was promptly and efficiently performed. Mr. Pantalone didn't even flinch when we asked for a last minute change in the configuration of the proposed walkway. He does superb work, takes great pride in it, pays attention to detail, and has a great smile.
