Friedman Home Improvements & Masonry

Very professional and courteous workers

Great experience loved the work done on floors and drywall!

I hired Friedman Home Improvements to repair my 30-year-old wooden shed. They had to remove the rotting-wood doors, frame, and siding on the south side of the shed. Then, they had to build a new door frame, install new siding, build and install new doors. They built all of this on my patio. They did a beautiful job.

Very good workmanship. Job was completed quickly. Excellent customer service.

Skilled masonry work. Attention to detail & careful of surroundings around the fireplace. Highly recommend!

tldr, I have a leaking garage that took 2 years to build and it cost ~30k ($29,924) We had damage from the 2019 tornadoes and had Jason on the job. Our garage was hit by a tree and was deemed unsafe. Materials were delivered in Nov 2019. They sat in the rain and snow until summer 2020. These materials were used to build the new garage. The wood was moldy and the osb swelled from moisture. The long timeline may not have been entirely his fault, covid made sourcing materials difficult. November to July is a long while though There were a lot of permitting issues, that took time to resolve as well. I called the city and township offices to check up on the project and learned the build had been delayed because he never applied for a permit. He didn't realize that a building permit from the county is required and thought the township office would take care of it. It seemed like Jason made things more difficult and lengthy because he didn't know how to navigate the bureaucratic side of things. Jason also called me and talked to me about someone else's project for 30 min. After the build was & complete and water seeps in under the walls every time it rains, even a light rain, the osb soaks up water like a sponge. He sent somewhere to fix it but he only caulked around the bottom of the siding which did nothing to help the problem. There is no flashing around the roof trim and it looks tacked up as an afterthought, carpenter bees moved in to the bare wood. There are open soffits allowing animals and insects free access. My yard was also left a complete wreck, some of the bricks of my patio were ruined by demolition and a giant pile of soil was left from shoddy foundation work that I now have to move by hand. He is aware of the problems and hasn't done anything. I would not recommend this contractor.

I wish I had heeded the reviews more carefully before entrusting Friedman to replace the entire roof. My advice to you is proceed cautiously with this contractor unless you enjoy bullying and unethical exchanges with the owner. Read BBB and other websites, Pictures speak a thousand words, please see my Google review to see a photo. You be the judge whether you can trust this contractor on any roofing work.

Paid way too much for a crappy job. The owner was an arrogant, immature person. The job took too long. The guy who originally started the work only worked from about 10am to 2pm and made several mistakes. Bobby was brought in to try and fix all the problems and did the best he could with what he had to work with. When I got upset with the owner, his response was, "I should get credit for trying to make things right." Sorry, you don't get credit for trying to fix a crappy job; you do the job right in the first place especially for the outrageous amount of money I paid.

Have a 12x12 shed that had much warping and rotting. Friedman ripped off two layers of siding, and applied one new layer, replaced the trim boards, built new doors and painted it. I them to just paint it all beige, but Bobby painted the trim boards white. The shed looks GREAT, and the cleanup was very good.

Very competitive price. Showed up on time and quickly. Did a great job. The only reason for the 4 stars was that they sent a gentleman out that barely spoke English. It was hard to communicate with him while reviewing the finished work on site

This company does what a lot of us need - small jobs. Barry was very conscientious. He made my master bath light fixture safe - it had been hanging from one screw - mudded as needed, painted, put up a much needed towel rack. He did everything we contracted for and cleaned up after. My husband and I are very pleased and we took business cards to share with neighbors.

Very responsive to texts. Great customer service. Work was done quickly.

Jason and his team when the extra, extra mile to make sure my kitchen was beautiful. repaired walls , celing, installed new window, painted, installed new light, switches, applied new back splash. Bobby was so professional and courteous, knew exactly what I wanted. Was so clean and neat, would highly recommend this company. You cannot go wrong with them.

Quality of the work was poor. We had a vinyl plank floor installed. There are lots of gaps in the floor. It is coming apart near the walls. We had to have them come back multiple times, and it still is not right. The screws on the transition strip are not flush and are a safety hazard. (I wish I could upload pictures.) I also question the integrity of the company. They tried to cover up some defects. I would consider it an amateur job. Definitely not what I expect from a professional.

The person managing may not be doing the work or even there.

Honest and upfront, out the next day after estimate for repair. Will use for all our home repair and reno needs.

Professional and courteous.

They do great work and are honest. They come when they say they are going to come or they will call if there is a weather issue. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I would recommend them.

Professional and courteous. Job expertly done and in the contracted time. Clean and neat! We were very happy with the results and would highly recommend them.

Jason and his team are professionals. We recently moved to the area and needed help with several small projects (removal of old cabinets in garage, installation of overhead shelving in garage, mounting of two large screen TVs), as well as the installation of break metal around the foundation of our house. Each job was done in a timely fashion and we received quality work. Jason communicated well for each project. We will definitely use Friedman Home Improvements & Masonry for our future projects. Thank you!

Friedman was an absolute professional and did a wonderful job! 5 out of 5 stars.

Outstanding work quality for my concrete drive extension. Work was done quickly and clean up was totally complete. There was a miscommunication in the design that resulted in a major problem, but Jason and his crew took care of it right away and without any additional charge. Very professional and I would highly recommend.

Jason was very good about returning phone calls and staying in touch about the project. All of the work was done in a timely and professional fashion.

They have been great to work with and have been able to take care of several issues that came up along the way.

Professional, quality craftsmanship. I would highly recommend Friedman's HI.
